will thus be presented the novelty or
two conventions taking place simulta-
neously in the same city, with the stra-
tegical advantage belonging. the Pro-

Just what the plans of the Progress
sives are beyond this nobody would say

not Mr.. Roosevelt Would run for the
Presidency on the Progressive ticket,
but he added

siNes would more delight To support than
Mr. Roosevelt. and no other candidacy

he could maintain his consistency and

consent to run. with the unhesitating
promptness with which he has accepted
call OF duty throughout his life
Mr.. Colby said that II amused him n

those opposed to the Colonel to depict
him as an incessant candidate for the
