CRY Is FOR WAR
AND NO QUARTER
Bull Moose Will Oppose Republicans
w1, y Full Ticket in Every
Northern State.

CHICAGO, May /. W. No quarter to
the Republican party so long as it is
dominated by its present leaders was
the decree of the national executive
committee of the Progressive party, in
session at the Hotel La Sale.
To this end, it was decided by
unanimous vote to place full state
tickets in virtually all of the North
ern states this year and to center the
fire on Kansas, Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania, in the hope of eleeting United
States senators from these states.
Even Wisconsin is to hear the roar
of the Moose artillery this summer
full state ticket is to be placed in
the field there and Senator La Toilette
IS to be given a hand-tohand conflict.
cablegram was sent to Col Theo-
dore Roosevelt at Manaos, Brazil,
felicitating him on his return to civil
ization and incidentally urging him
to return at once to the ''fighting
force Members of the committee
said they expected the Colonel back
by the middle of August
Col. Roosevelt, it was promised will
buckle on his armor and take the field
in the Northern states this fall, where
the fighting is thickest and toughest.
He viii particularly pay his respects
to Illinois, Pennsylvania and Kansas,
speaking for Clifford Pinchot in Penn
sylvania, Victor Murdock in Kansas
and whoever the candidate for the
United States Senate may be in Illi-
nois.
George ". Perkins, chairman OF
the national executive committee, in
his statement to the newspaper men
| last night declared that il was not in
the power Of the Progressive leaders
| to amalgamate the Bull Moose party
with the Republican party so long as
the latter organization was dominated
| by its present leaders.
| ''There can be no amalgamation OF
| these two forces so long as Penrose
| Barnes, Cannon and such men domi
nate the Republican party said Mr.
| Perkins
''Our fight is not with the rank
and file of Republicans. Hundred,
| of thousands Of these men are pro
gressive and want to do the right
| thing for the country. 1t is utterly
| impossible for them to do this witt

party In all parties the rank and fiji,

MORE TROOPS TO
MEXICAN BORDER
Resolution in Congress to Make I'm
mediately Available Entire
SlO1, ,O0O.O

WASHINGTON, Nal /. - A joint
resolution to make available immedi-
ately the entire $lOl 10000 provided
for in the army appropriation bill, just
was introduced Yesterday at President
Wilson S request by Chairman Hay
Of the committee on military affairs.
The measure is designed to allow
the nse of any or all of the funds
provided in the big supply bill, orig
inally designed TO meet only the needs
Of the army for the fiscal year be-
ginning July |, to meet the present
emergency in Mexico.
1t has been suggested that the same
course may be followed by the naval
affairs committee, although Chair
man Padgett does not favor such ac-
tion unless the President requests it.
In other ways the government is
also taking steps to be prepared
for war. Secretary of War Garri-
son is preparing to substitute regulars
for the Texas state troops now sta
toned at Brownsville. Heavy de
mands made upon the mobile army
bv the border patrol and the Ver5
Cruz expedition probably will make i
necessary to draw the force from the
coast artillery.
Tho secretary suggested to Gov
Coiquitt the impracticability of fed
eral and state forces seeking to operat
in the same territory under differen
commands, and the governor has agree,
to withdraw the militia when the rcgu
lars arrive.

dend paid was 1883, 900, leaving a
