Ii would ne grave detriInent TO the
country to reflect Mr.. Wilson. | shall
therefore, strongly support Mr.. Hughes.
Such being the case. il is unnecessary

nation on a third ticket. do not be

Will for the most part take this position.
They and | have hut one purpOse-the
purpose 10 serve our common country.
IL is my deep conviction that at this
moment we can serve II only by sup
porting Mr. Hughes.
IL is urged against Mr.. Hughes that he
was supported By the various so-called
GerHan-American alliances. believe
that the attitude of these professional
German-Amsricans was due. not in the
least 10 any liking for Mr. Hughes. but
solely 70 their antagonism to me They
were bound 10 defeat me for the nomi-
nation.
The only wav by which they could
achieve this object was by supporting
Mr.. Hughes, and they supported him
accordingly, without any regard to
other considerations. need hardly
repeat what have already said in
stern rcprobation Of this professional
German American element the ele-
ment typiled by the German-American
alliances and the similar bodies which
have IN the REORGANIZATION campaign
played not merely on un-American but
a thoroughly anti-American part.

Washington. June rs. - Roosevelt's

action Of the Progressive National
Committee in voting against third
ticket were hailed with undisguised DE-
light by the Republican and Progressive
members OF Congress to-day. They

Democrats. Members Of both parties

Republicans declared that the las,
doubt of the defeat Of Wilson next fall
has been removed. They have been
counting on Ro0sevelt's support and
have hoped that there would be few Of
his former followers who would refuse
20 follow him back into the party but
the accomplished facts were none The
less welcome. For the first time since
the Chicago convention real enthusiasm
over the prospects began TO be evident.
"Roosevelt's letter was only wha,

viction that Wilson should be defeat

more encouraging. IL means that We
will have a much better chance 20 carry
the House and the Senate.

vention. To these men ! expressed my
earnest hope that the Republ lcAls

view of the attitude of some of the
Republican leaders it was az least con
ceivable that we should be put IN
position where our highest duty. our
fealty to the country, our sense of what
patriotism demanded in a great crisis
would make it imperative upon US to
run a separate ticket; and that whether
in such event it would be necessary

as proof that ! am certain that the can

by the evil intrigues Of these hyphen-
atcd Americans.
Mr.. Hughes's character and his whole
course of conduct in public affairs JUS
tify us in the assured conviction that
the fact that these men have for their
own purpose supported him will in no
shape or way affect his public actions
before or after election. His entire
public life is "A guarantee OF this.
Wilson's Timid Course.
The events OF the last three and n
half years have shown that as much
cannot be said for Mr.. Wilson. In
Mr. Wilson's case we do not have TO
consider his words but his deeds. His
deeds absolutely contradict his words
and for the matter OF that his words
absolutely contradict one another.
II is folly to pay heed to any Of The
promises in tho platform on which he
now stands in view of the fact that al
lmost every important promise con
tanned in the platform on which he
stood four years ago has since been
broken. We owe all Of our present
trouble with the professional German
AMERICAN element IN the United States
to Mr.. Wilson's timid and vacillating
course during the last two years. The
defenders Of Mr.. Wilson have alleged
in excuse for him that he confronted
difficult situation.
A regards Mexico, the situation
which Mr.. Wilson confronted was moth
ing like as difficult as tnat which Presi-
dent Mckinley confronted in connec-
tion with Cuba and the Philippines at
the time of the Spanish War.
Under the actual circumstances we
could with ouly minimum Of risk
have protested on behalf Of Belgium, a
small. we'll behaved nation, when she
was exposed TO the last extremity Of
outrage by the brutal violation Of her
neutral rights, this violation being
itself violation OF the Hague con-
ventions TO which we were a signatory
power.

Loyalty to Ideals.

The method by which we arc 10 show
our loyalty TO these ideals must be de
tcrmined in each case by the actual
event. Our loyalty is 70 the fact, 70
the principle, TO the ideal, and not
merely TO the name, and least Of all 70
the party name.
The Progressive movement has been
given an incalculable impetus By what
the Progressive party has done. Our
strongest party antagonists have nc
copied and enacted into law, or en-
bodied in their party platforms, very
many of our most important principles.
Much has been accomplished in
awakening the public TO better under
standing of the problems of social and
industrial welfare.
Yet it has become entirely evident
that the people under existing condi-
tions are not prepared to accept new
party.
1t is impossible for US Prog1essives
10 abandon our convictions. But We
are faced with the fact that as things
actually are the Progressive national
organization no longer offers the means
whereby we can make these convictions
effective in our national life. Under
such circumstances our duty Is 20 do
the best we can. and not 70 sulk be
cause our leadership is rejected. That
we ourselves continue to believe that
the course we advocated was in the
highest interest of the American peo-
pie is aside from the question.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-06-27
Must Face Situation.

II is unpatriotic to refuse TO do the
best possible merely because the peo-
pie have not put US in position to do
what We regard as the very best. II
remains for US, good humorcdly and
with common sense, to face the situa-
tion and endcavor TO get out of 1t the
best that il can be made to yield from
the standpoint of the interests Of the
ration as a whole.
This was the situation at the opening
Of the present year. IL was clearly evil
dent that unless a cataclysm occurred
the Presidential election would result
in the choice of either the Republican
or the Democratic nominee. The pres
ent Administration. during its three
years Of life, had been guilty of short
comiugs more signal than those OF
any Administration since the DAYS OF
Buchanan. From the standpoint OF
national honor and interest, II stood
on an even lower level than the Ad-
ministrstion of Buchanan.
No Administration IN our history had
done more 20 relax the spring of the
national will and 10 dcaden the ma
tional conscience Within the Repub-
lican party conflicting forces were AZ
work. There were men among the or
ganization leaders who advocated 3
course Of action such as offered no
improvement upon the Democratic po-
sition, and advocated the nomination
of candidates whose election would
have represented no improvement upon
the continuance in Office of Mr. Wilson.
If such course were followed II
would obviously become our duty TO
run third ticket. But II was plainly
our duty TO do everything honorable m
order TO prevent such a necessity; TO
do everything short Of sacrificing our
most sacred convictions in order to
secura the alignment under ona leader

Universal Service Call.

The results of the terrible world
war of the last two years have now
made II evident 70 all who are willing
10 see that in this country there must
be spiritual and industrial prepared
ness along the lines of efficiency, Of
LOYAL service 10 the nation and OF prac-
teal application of the precept that
each man must be his brothers keeper.
Furthermore, il is no less evident
that this preparedness for the tasks OF
peace forms the only sound basis for
that indispensable military prepared
ness which rests on universal military
training and which finds expression IN
universal obligatory service in time OF
war. Such universal obligatory train
ing and service are the necessary com
plements Of universal suffrage and
represent the realization Of the true
American, the democratic. ideal in both
peace and war.
Sooner or later the national prin
ciples championed by the Progressives
of 1912 must in their general effect be
embodied in the structure of our ma
tional existence With all my heart
shall continue TO work for these great
ideals. shoulder to shoulder with the
men and women who in 1912 cham
pioned them; and | am sure that these
men and women will show like 10y
atty to the other. the fundamental,
B ideals which the events Of the last two
wears have proven to be vital TO the
( permanency of our national existence.

Emulating Lincoln.

These two conventions, in character,
in Observation-Disclosures, in vision. in in.
sight. in high purpose and in desire 10
render practical service TO the people,
typified exactly what such bodies ought
TO be in great self-governing democ-
racy. They represented the spirit which
moved Abraham Lincoln and his politi-
cal associates during the decade pre-
ceding the close OF the Civil War
The platform put forth in 1912 was
much the most important public docu-
ment promulgated i'm this country since
the death of Abraham Lincoln. II rep
resented the first effort on large scale
10 translate abstract formulas Of eco
monte and social justice into concrete
American Nationalism the effort to APP
ply the principles of Washington and
Lincoln to the need Of the United States
in the twentieth century. No finer Ell
fort was ever made to serve the Ameri-
can people in a spirit of high loyalty
to all that is Hottest in the American
tradition.
Events have shown that the Pro
gressive party in 1912 offered the only
alternative 70 the triumph of the Demo-
cratic party. Moreover, these events
have shown that the application Of the
principles which We then advocated is
even more necessary TO this nation
than we at the time supposed.

Chicago, June 26.-Theodore Roose-
velt's letter, confirming his declnstion
to run for President and urging Pro
grcssives TO support Hughes. was as
follows
To the Progressive National Com
mittee.
Gentlemen: In accordance with the
message sent TO the Progressive
National Convention rs soon as ! had
received the notification that 1t had
nominated me for President, ! now
communicate to you my reasons Tor
declining the honor which ] so deeply
appreciate.
Since the adjournment OF the con
Vention have received between two
and three thousand letters and tcle.
grams from men who had supported
me for the nomination, the majority
expressing the desire that ! would re.
fuse 10 run. while a minority urgec
that | should accept the nomination.
As il is a physical impossibility to an
swer these letters and kilograms IN
dividually. beg of the courtesy OF the
senders that they will accept this pub
lie statement in lieu os such answers.
Before speaking of anything else, |
wish 10 express my heartieSt and most
unstinted admiration for the character
and services Of the men and women VINO
made up the Progressive National Con
yention in 1916. ! can give them no
higher praise than 10 say that IN all re-
spects they stood level with the men
and women who in 1912 joined at Chi
cago to found the Progressive party.
