fered easy access to the thief who took
the jeWelry.
Every bit OF jewelry In Bendhem's ex-
hibit OF any value was taken. While the
value OF what was left behind was esti-

too bulky to be taken.
After the robbery was discovered the

The inside story of the action taken
In Terrace Garden last night is that tho
Progressives are determined to build their
State ticket ON this foundation
For Governor--Theodor Roosevelt
For United States Senator--Samuel Sea-
bury.
For Conptroller---John ~ Hennessy
They are prepared to face the wrath
~ tho Colonel himself. who is not sup
posed to have any strong desire TO make
the race for Governor. They are going
TO make a clean cut issue as to whether
Col. Roosevelt is bigger than the Pro-
sressivc party or whether the party bulks
larger than the Colonel
They say outright that 10 the Colonel
gives In things win be fine and dandy, but
II he doesn't fur will fly Mr.. Bird did not
say last Night whose fur would do the
flying.
As a preliminary 70 the struggle which
Is sure 10 come with Col. Roosevelt the
Progressives In this city are getting ready
TO ease Theodore Douglas Robinson from
the State craftsmanship. The talk heard
everywhere Is that Chairman Robinson is
50 close to his uncle. the Colonel. that II
the matter OF the Colonels candidacy came
to close decision Mr.. Robinson would
side with his relative and not with the
organization.

The county committee OF the Progress

In Terrace Garden. against indorslng
Charles s. Whitman as a Republican can
didate for Governor.
They adopted by vote OF about 80 to
20. a resolution which declared against
fusion OF any nature whatever and against
nominating or indorsing any candidate
who wasn't straight out Progressive.
The only voices raised against the resolu-
ton were from the Fifteenth Assembly
district. where there Ii strong Whitman
sentiment. but these voices. feeble in an
anti-fuslon chorus, were swiftly over
whelmed.
The resolution did not mention Mr..
Whitman, but there was no secret as re-
CARDS what County Chairman Francis W.
Bird, cambridge Colby and their sup
porters were driving at Some OF the
speakers spoke directly against Mr.. Whit
man, saying there was nothing In common
