the document
while negotiating for a treaty l
made the Colombian authorities under
stand that under no circumstances
would the United States apologize to
any nation for a political act-that was
our unwritten law that never had been
and never would be broken. l sug-
gested that a chiyalrous expression
of regret that our friendship had in
any way been marred might later be
embodied in the treaty as a balm for
the wounded feelings of once friendly
nation which had been Inundated be-
fore the world, whose credit had been
destroyed in foreign countries, whose
borrowing ability had been annihilated,
and whose persistent appeals for arbi-
tration had been ignored"

Roosevelt attacked as blackmail, Mr..
Du Bots describes the claims of Colon

cession of the transisthmian railroad

VROOMANNBREAKS
WITH Gov. dunno
Senatorial Candidate Says Elk
ecutive No Longer Is Pro-
gressive Leader.
TOO SILENT ON SULLIVAN
Bloomington Aspirant Asserts State
Executive Has betrayed Conf
dence Of Every Voter"

| In an open letter issued yesterday,
Carl Schfirz vrooman, downstate can
didate for the democratic nomination
! for United States senator. broke with
Governor Dunno and announced his
intention of making a personal fight
among the progressive democrats.
The senatorial aspirant charged that
Governor Dunno by his delay had for
feited the right to be regarded any
longer as the real leader of the pro-
gressive democrats of Illinois.
Last October, when l made a ten
tative announcement of my candidacy"
Mr.. Vrooman wrote, 81 stated that If a
more available progressive democratic
candidate could be found / would
promptly retire in his favor. Though
Governor Dunno and our other leaders
have tried for nine long months to find
more available candidate than my
self, if we can judge by their actions,
they have signally failed in this laud-
able endeavor.
Says Leaders Have Failed.
"As only a little more than two
les clearly 1t would be suicidal to wait
on them any longer. 1t is apparent
that these so-called leaders have been
engaged in hopeless quest or that
they are sadly incompetent. In either
event, it is up to the genuine progress
sive democrats of this state to assert
themselves and work out their own
salvation"
Vrooman said that time and again
he has offered to withdraw in favor of
Owen P. Thompson, Congressman
Rainey. or Congressman Graham.
Governor Dunno is charged by Mr..
Vrooman with refusing to aid the
Bryan-Wilson democrats In their cam
paign against Sullivan.
Refused Aid Against Sullivan.
you have failed TO take the lead in
this fight" Vrooman sid TO Governor
Dunno. You have even refused to
cooperate with or say any encouraging
word to the WiIson-Bryan democrats,
who have made the only organized
fight against Mr. Sullivan's candidacy
that has been made thus far.
There is a general feeling over the |
state that you are unwilling to get be- |
hind an out-and-out progressive demo- |
crat. II has been stated repeatedly in |
the press and among political leaders |
that you are contemplating throwing |
your support to a compromise candi- |
date of the trimmer type and one who |
has refused repeatedly to make Sulli- |
vanism an issue. If this should prove |
true my conscience would not permit 4
me to become a party to any such J
The progressive democrats |
of Illinois rightly would regard such I
a move on your part as a betrayal of !
the confidence of every voter who has |
followed your leadership. fought your
battles, and aided in making you the /
chief executive of a great state"

Treaty Would Not Be
Paying Blackmail.
DENIES UNITY IN REVOLT
Asserts Most Of People Of Country Did
Not Know That Uprising Was
In Progress.

HalIstead, Pa, July I'm a state
nlent issued last night dealing with
The proposed Colombian treaty. James
T Du Bots, who was United States
minister to Colombia under the Taft
administration. takes issue with the
views recently expressed by Colonel
Roosevelt and explains his own rea-
sohs for supporting the treaty.
Regarding his differences with Col
onel Roosevelt. Mr. Du Bots expresses
regret at oppoSing "a great leader
whose fortunes l devotedly followed
for ten years. and states that mo man
will tolerate the thought that any of
Colonel Roosevelt's acts was inspired
by tainted motives, but no man is al
ways right"
Negotiations for a treaty during the
Taft administration failed, he says, be-
cause his instructions, out OF exces-
sive care not to impugn the motives of
President Roosevelt lin taking" Pan
anna, failed to give Colombia sufficient
Justice. The pending treaty, he be-
lieves. should be heartily approved by
the American people.
Taking issue with Colonel Roose-
Welt regarding the character of the
public men in Colombia, Mr. Du Bots
declared that they compare well with
the public men of other countries in
intelligence and responsibility, instead
of being "blackmailers and bandits"
Quoting Mr.. Roosevelts declaration
that the people of Panama we're a unit
in demanding the revolution, he says,
"a handful of men. who were to be the
direct beneiciaries of the revolution,
conceived it and not the hundreth part
of the inhabitants OF the isthmus knew
of the revolt until an American officer, !
IN the uniform of the United States ,
army. raised the flag of the new re-
public"
Regarding the acting president. Mar
roouin, whom he quotes Colonel Roose-
welt as describing as an absolute and
uncontrolled dictator" Mr.. Du Bots
says:
He was helpless and hapless old
man. placed in the midst of great ma
tionaI unrest and disorder at the close
of the most disastrous civil war in
the history of Colombia. He was not
in accord with the congress and the
congress was alive with discord, and
FIVE millions of innocent and hapless
people saw the true interests of their
country destroyed by the selfish dis
putes OF less than one hundred men,"
Opposed to Any Apology.

welt that the Colombia treaty is a
