 In his message declining the Pro- gressive nomination for President yesterday Col. Roosevelt declared:
 Our loyalty is to the fact x not merely to the name, and least of all to the party name.'
 Yet it has become entirely evil dent that the people under existing conditions are not prepared to ac- cept new party
 t"The Progressive national organ ization no longeR offers the means whereby we can make these con- vicdons effective inA our national life Under such circumstances our duty is to do the best we can, and not to sulk because our leader ship is rejected"
 Under existing conditions the nomination of a third ticketswould, in my judgment, be merely a move in the interest of the election of MT. Wilson. shall there fore strongly support MT. Hughes. ** I cannot accept the nom ination of third ticket. I do not believe that there should be third ticket.''
 Without any regard to what the personal feelings of any of us may be as regards the action of the Re publican Convention, wish very solemn1y to ask the representative of the Progressive Party to con sider at this time only the welfare of the people of the United States ''I earnestly bespeak from my fellow Progressives their ungrudg- ing support of MT. Hughes"
