MOOSE DOCTRINE OURS,
SAY REPUBLICAN CHIEFS
Complacent Over Prospect Of Union With Progressives
and See Little, if Any, Difficulty in
Way of Agreement.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-Republican
leaders In Congress were disposed to-
day to view with complacency the re-
suits OF the labors OF the Bull Moose
conference in Chicago. With fdw excep-
tons they looked on them as indicative
of a desire on the part Of the Progress
sives to find a way Of returning to the
Republican fold with good grace.
Eliminating differences which might
arise over a candidate. Senate Republi-
ans and Representatives were prac-
,ically unanimous in their conclusions
that there was nothing in the policies
OF the Chicago Progressive conference
not in harmony with, or which could
not be reconciled to Republican doc
trine. This view was taken by Repub-
licans even who have been more or less
identified with the Progressive move
ment, and hence no friction IL antici-
pated on that score.
To what extent the Progressives will
press their demand for "A progressive
candidate is OF course a subject Of spec
%ulation. 1t Is not expected, however,
that they will Insist on one who would

Nor Is 1t the disposition OF the regular
Republicans. as reflected by many Con-
gressional leaders. TO insist upon a can
d.date who would give offence TO the
rrogressives.
In all these Republican calculations
Col. Roosevelt and his purpose remain

Congressional leaders are of thu opinion
that Roosevelt Is after the nomination.
Most OF them believe he IL bent. first. or

Some profess to have information TO

this they assume that he will in all prob
ability support the Republican nominee.
II II is within the range OF consistency
for him to 10 so. WI there is "A disposi-

Is Pleased.

Theodore T.. Burton. ex-senator from
son Of his native State for the Republic
can Presidential nomination, left the city
yesterday afternoon for Delaware. where
ne makes a speech to-day. He spent a
busy day here in receiving visitors and
talking over the situation. Tuesday eve
ming he was a guest at a dinner given
him by Republican leaders In Kings
county and made an address To the
Kings count Republican committee. He
had more c~allers yesterday at the Hotel
Aston.
There Is no reason why there should
not be complete reconciliation between
the Republicans and the rroeressives. ="
said the senator yesterday. They nave
never differed in principle. only In per-
sonalities. Time cures such personal
asperltles and I have colterded since
1914 that "A little concession on both
sides wouid accomplish the desired re-
suit"
"What do you think OF the statement
Of MIR. Perkins that both parties might
agree on some person who need not
necessarily be Col. Roosevelt ." he was
asked.
That Is very significant" he said, but
would not comment further.
The Senator was disinclined to speak
of the Chicago meeting. even when he
was asked about the announcement that
the Republican and Progressive conven-
tom will be held simultaneously. It was
apparent from his attitude hat he was
not altogether in favor of the move and
that he agreed with one argument
against II which had been advanced.
This was that with two sets OF bands
playing IN one town and two sets OF
narchers the anger Of a fareup or an
