WILSON ASKED IF HE
WILL LEAD THE MOOSE
Replies That His Party Stands
for Progress and Want
Moose with Them

Washington, July IA Expressing
belief that his party represents a
larger part of the progressive power
and thought of the country than any
other party President Wilson today
made formal bid for the progressive
vote at the coming election.
In letter to j. G. Parker, progress
sive, of Philadelphia, who had written,
asking the president if he would ae-
cept the leadership of progressives of
all parties, President Wilson wrote:
"My dear Mr. Parker:
] have read your letter of July 10
with a great deal Of attention and with
very serious interest, and realize as
keenly as you do the anonmolus con-
ditions by which many of the progress
sive voters of the country are being
confused and misled as well as the
old, inveterate attractions which seem
to control the choice of many of them
p matters political. In answer to
the question contained in your letter,
will say that, for my part, | have no
Jealousy whatever of Independent or
CARNATIONS intended to keep the indie
pendent voters of the country remind
ed of their opposition and fully inform
ed as to parties and the conditions un-
der which Votes are being solicited.
"For myself / sincerely desire and
have tried to deserve the support of all
progressive, forward looking men. I
believe and / think that recent exper-
fence has confirmed taat the democrat
ic party represents larger part of the
nrourpssiva nOwpr and Thought of the
country than any other party, and that
it can be made the instrument, and is
being made the instrument of leader
ship in the direction which all men
who love justice and progress must
wish to walk. 1t is for that reason
that / am proud to- be the nominee
and to have the opportunity to lead
it.
Cordially and sincerely yours,

ic. States Attorney Dady announced

mand the death penalty.

roomed has already been summoned be

Bert Garfield, charged with perjury, in
connection with buying alcohol at the
Capital Drug store in this city, returned
a verdict of guilty. Judge Kelly will

Ter at Quinaby training hops. Because
of cold and to combat which he de-
clared he wanted the alcohol, he had
