progressives still stand on the state
ment they outlined in January, indi-
eating they will support any candi-
date-not necessarily Roosevelt-who
stands for progressive principles.
Il see in the papers and / heard on
the train while enroute here, that a
lot of bitter feeling has been worked
up between the camps Of the differ
ent candidates." Perkins said
This is unfortunate. AS far as
the progressives are concerned, we
will approach the conventions in the
spirit we indicated in our January
statement
This is pre-eminently the time
when the conventions should be for
Americans first.
Il read in the papers that Car
rama, in his note delivered to Wash
ington yesterday had accused the
Wilson administration of duplicity
and of misleading the Mexican gov
eminent. 1t occurs to me that this
was the first time that any foreign
power had dared accuse Uncle Sam
of treachery.
Our prime object should be, with
all possible speed and certainty, to
stop this sort of thing and restore
our good name"
As Perkins entered the Blackstone
he shook hands with Chairman Hilles,
of the republican committee, Senator
Reed Smoot, Of Utah, one of the old
guard, and several other republicans.
They chatted informally and laugh
ingly expressed hopes of getting to-
gether.
Thanks for your statement re-
garding the republican platform the
other day." Perkins said to Hilles.
In this statement, Htlles had an
nounced the republicans were for
America and preparedness and that
this was the big issue

he believed the progressives and re,
publicans would get together.
