REPUBLICANS AGAINST

In plain direct manner that cannot
be misunderstood, Theodore Roose-
welt, the doughty Progressive leader,
has shown the voters of Maryland and
other states why there can be no fu-
sion of Progressives and Republicans.
That Republicans of Ohio are bitterly
against Roosevelt and the policies he
stands for is evident, and the Moose
leader advises his friends to be not
misled by false prophets.
There can be little comfort for Re.
publicans in Ohio in the following
statement by Roosevelt to the party
leaders of Maryland who sought his
support for the candidate for United
States Senator.
81 am sorry to say" he said, that |
do not believe it would be right in the
contest this fall for the Progressives
to support the Republicans in any
state, no matter what the Republicans
in these states may say, because in a
great majority of the states the Repub-
licans have come out with the utmost
cynicism against the Progressives and
in favor of all the worst policies and
practices of the Bourbons two years
ago."
Quoting from a letter he recently
wrote to Maryland man, the Colonel
read: 81 am very sorry TO say that |
do not think anything whatever can
be done through the Republican party
as now organized; in any event, as far
as / am concerned.
There are certain states where the
Republican candidates have declared
that they are for me in 1916, and'a few
where they, with more or less direct
ness, announced themselves in favor
of the Progressive policies. AS regards
the announcement for myself, do not
regard 1t as amounting to anything, be-
cause 1t is of no earthly consequence
to indorse me unless the principles
for which stand are indorsed
III the Republicans of Maryland,
Kentucky and New Mexico declare for
me, but at the same time stay in the
Republican organization instead of be-
coming Progressive, they are abso-
lutely powerless before the Republic
ans of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and the great
majority of the other states where they
are bitterly and to the last gasp
against me and against everything |

Mr.. Willis alone is mistaken; he has
