Progressive party in this state, just
as | shall fight for the Progressive
party in the nation, and when the
Progressive party has nominated its
state ticket, as | am sure it will, on a
basis of frank and utter antagonism to
the boss controlled organizations OF
both the old parties, alike to the
Barnes organization and to the Murphy
organization, shall do all ! can to aid
in the election of that ticket.
"As far as my voice will permit |
shall speak in every section Of this
state. from one end to the other. in
sunnort of the cause to which | think
we have right to expect all good
citizens in the state to subscribe
Big Moose in Council.
At the conference were George W.
Perkins. of New York, chairman of the
Progressive National Executive Com
mittee: Theodore Douglas Robinson,
state chairman; Francis w. Bird, New
York county chairman; Chaunccy
Hamlin, Buffalo leader; ex-senator
Frederick NJ. Davenport; William ~.
Hotchkiss, of New York; Horace VIII
kinson, of Syracuse; cambridge Co by,
of New York; o. B. Phillips, vice
chairman of the state committee, and
Mark Sullivan, Judge W. l.. Ransom
and Henry L. Stoddard, of New York.
While the reporters were waiting for
the statement, and the Colonel was
first on one foot and then on another
in his effort to get back into the
house. he was asked if the report that
he had been unconscious for an hour
while aboard the Imperator last Sat
urday was true. The question had to
be repeated before it gained an an
swer: the Colonel seemed too amazed.
Ridiculous" he said, very earnest
ly. The reporters pressed him.
81 was alone in my cabin" he said,
desiring neither companionship nor
sympathy. That was all"
That seemed not to satisfy. He was
asked about the story that he had
been "reyived with difficulty"
The Colonel gave what one must call
a snort. for the dictionary constructors
rather fell down on the job.
"Whahl" he exclaimed. Not, what"
Just ''whah."
"You know how when you've had the
fever-well, there was really nothing
to it,"
OF that he would say nothing more.
OF the Pennsylvania Senatorial situs-
ton he would say nothing, but OF
moving picture operator this:
"a man came down here to-day while
I was rowing Mrs. Roosevelt, just be-
low here. and took some pictures OF
us. Hereafter | shall not permit any
one like that around here. We are
N-a~s 40
Before Mr.. Roosevelt came out Mr..
Robinson was asked if Mr.. Whitman
would receive the Progressive indorsc-
ment
There will be no compromise on
Whitman" he said. 81 wish he would
run in the primaries for his own in
formation. Why" pointing toward the
doorway from which the other Pro-
gressives were streaming. "this whole
bunch couldn't put him over"
About Colonel Roosevelt and the Gu
bernatorial ticket, he remarked:
"He says he will not run. However
we have hopes, but they arc not very
strong"
William Draper Lewis, Progressive
candidate for Governor of Pennsyl-
vania, called on the Colonel early this
afternoon, departing when the other
visitors arrived.
II was learned yesterday that Jane:
/ p. Reynolds, formerly an Assistant
District Attorney and a great friend OF
/ Colonel Roosevelt, had gone to London
( in an effort to induce the Colonel ia
indorse Whitman. Since his return he
had told his friends that there was
not the slightest chance of such q
course because the Colonel did not
think Whitman would repudiate the
"bosses."
Mr. Duell said yesterday that h
was going ahead with the arrange
ments for the meeting of the non
partisan Whitman League in Syracuse
July 81 and August !, and az that tins
Whitman would be named at the heal
! OF a non-partisan ticket. Justic,
