Federal Reserve Board IAmbers Up
Financial Situation

Washington, Aug. ACTING under
the authority conferred by the Fed
erai reserve act, the Federal Reserve
Board today announced the new pol
icy for the demand for money with
which to move the crops. Heretofore
the situation has been met by deposits
Of public funds in depository banks
and through the emergency currency
authorized under the Aidrich Vreeland
act. It is proposed that the situation
shall be met this year by the redts-
count privileges extended by the Fed
eral reserve banks TO member banks
and bills of exchange secured by
staple agricultural products. II was
explained at the offices of the Fed
erai Reserve Board today that the
relief thus made possible was not
necessarily limited to the cotton
States. but was available TO growers
OF wheat and other staples such as
come out of the West and Northwest.
The plan was outlined In a letter
sent out by authority OF the Federal
Reserve Board to the various regional
banks.

New York. Aug. 2.--Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt will stand by the Pro-
gressive cause and will not re-enter
the Republican party.
That was his definite statement to-
day at Oyster Bay, after he returned
with Mrs. Roosevelt from a lively and
plea surahle visit to the Canadian
Northwest. the American Pacific coast
and the Panama Pacific Exposition.
There was no shading of meaning
whatever in the brief but direct state
ment 10 which he restricted himself.
despite much urging to amplify his
views. The colcners present political
philosophy comes to this. Others who
are veering back to the Republican
fold after three years of allegiance to
Progressive principles have a perfect
right to do SO The colonel feels no
anger or resentment That they
should weaken after three years gives
him little sorrow, as his close friends
understand. but at least he feels kind
ly to them for having remained stead
fast so long. Here Is the way he ex-
pressed himself today:
Glad They Held on So Long.
"As regards the Progressives who
have announced their intention of en-
rolling as Republicans in this State. I
nave nothing 10 say except Lnat
think it has been fine of them to have
made the great fight they have made
during the past three years for Pro-
gressive principles and I am sure
that they are acting conscientiously
in the step they now take. and with
the purpose of doing what they res
gard as most useful to the commu-
nifty.
Holding the convictions I do. IL
would be an impossihtlitv for me my
self to take the step. I shall enroll
as Progressive, and II any man in

wise him also to enroll as Progress
