FEAR TROUBLE IN
FORCING HINMAN
ONPROGRESSIVES
Await Result of Roosevelt's In
dorsement of Republican
Primary Candidate.

Roosevelt fulfilled expectations oy
coming out for former Senator Har-
vey d. Human, of Binghamton, for
the nomination for governor, and his
iieutenants declared today that he
has no fear OF a revolt of Progress
siyes that he will not be able to over
come.
It is stated the colonel is not going
to stop at a verbal Endorsement of
Human, but will stump the State for
him to the limit Of his physical
strength 1t is alleged 1t is Colonel
Roosevelt's desire to have both Hin
man and Hennessy on his good citi-
Gems" ticket, and, If both run, he
will campaign for them.
In oyster Bay IL is no secret that
many Progressives sent messages
yesterday, before the colonel had an
nounced his position, protesting
against a Human Endorsement and
urging an out-and-out Progressive
ticket from top to bottom, To what
extent the Bull Moose chief will be
able to whip them in line is prob
lematical, but there is feeling
among politicians that he is going to
have one of the big fights of his
career in forcing Human on the Pro-
gressives.
Colonel Roosevelt's formal state
last night at Oyster Bay, and he sup
plemented it with this:
IF any straight-cut Progressive
should enter the Progressive prt-
rnaries against Mr.. Human l shall
vote for Mr.. Human.
Roosevelt Makes Appeal.
In his statement indorsing Human,
Colonel Roosevelt says in part:
II hope with all my heart that the
Progressive party of the State will
take the lead in the fight for clean,
non-partisan government in the state
at large this fall. In New York State
we see at its worst the development
of the system of bipartisan boss
rule The outcome of this system is
necessarily that invisible government
which the Progressive party was in
large part founded to oppose.
1T is impossible to secure the
economic, social and industrial re-
forms to which we are pledged until
this invisible government of the party
bosses, working through the alliance
between crooked business and crooked
politics, is rooted out of our govern
mental system.
I'm New York State the two po-
litical machines are completely DOM
mated, the one by Mr.. Barnes, the
eminent is rotten throughout, in al
most all its departments; and this is
directly due to the dominance in poll
tics of Mr.. Murphy and his sub
bosses, acting through such entirely
subservient agents as Governors Dix
and Glynn, aided and abetted when
necessary by Mr.. Barnes and the sub
bosses of Mr.. Barnes.
THESE bosses do not hold public
aof oh,
the holders of public office whom
they control. Yet they really form
the administration and corrupt
ton in the public offices of the State.
1.-The election of the man who is
the agent of the boss is equally detri-
mental to the public interest, whether
he be Mr.. Dix, Mr.. Glynn or Mr.. Nc
Call on the one side, or Mr.. Whitman
or Mr.. Wadsworth on the other.
'tSurely the time is ripe when all
good citizens, no matter what their
party affiliations, should join together
in support of a ticket the success of
which would mean the overthrow of
both Mr.. Barnes and Mr.. Murphy, the
elimination of bipartisan boss rule
from the political system of the State
and the installation into the public
service of the State of men elected
or appointed solely on the ground of
efficiency for the particular work they
have to do.
I'VE Progressives are pledged to
work disinterestedly for the good of
the whole people, and it seems to me
that in this State this fall our duty
Is to endeavor to unite with the
honest rank and file of the old parties
for the overthrow of the two corrupt
and boss-ruled machines that dis
he af Vorlr
State"
All doubt that Harvey D. Humans
anncmnccmet - H. nd -7-' fer
the Governorship and Colonel Roose-
yelt's statements in his favor were
the result of an agreement between
them was removed by an account
given last night, with Colonel Roose-
velt's approval of events of the last
few weeks. Colonel Roosevelt said
he had met Mr.. Human twice. The
first meeting was in New York about
two months ago.
Humans Secret Visit.
On July II Mr. Human came
secretly to Oyster Bay, and Colonel
Roosevelt told him the terms on
which he might have the backing of
the Progressives In the interval be-
tween these meetings Colonel Roose-
who demanded that he head the
ticket. but he finally decided to de-
cline.
Notwithstanding the opposition of
some of his associates, who insisted
on a straight Progressive ticket, he
decided that a nom partisan ticket
would best meet the situation. It
was only q few days ago that the de-
cision of the Progressive leader was
reached, and that it was arranged
that Mr. Hinman should make the
sort of declaration which Colonel
Roosevelt insisted upon.
So far as could be learned, it is
not yet known whether John A. Hen
Messy, of New York, will have a place
on the bipartisan slate.
II have not and I shall not have
anything in the world" Colonel
Roosevelt said last night. that I will
