COLONEL WANTS
CANDIDATE TO
UNITE PARTIES
Hopes Republicans and Pro-
gressives Can Combine
on Choice

New York, May Q. = Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt, on his return from the
West last night issued a statement ex-
pressing the hope that a man will be
nominated for President at Chicago
on whom Republicans and Progress
sives can unite; one whom Democrats
loyal to the nationalism of Andrew
jackson would support.
rhe ex-President reiterated that he
did not believe the delegates should
nominate him, unless they are pre-
pared whole-heartedly and without re-
serve to make the fight along the
principles advocated in his recent
/ speeches.
The statement follows:
1T cannot be said too often that this
Is q time Of crisis in the nations ca
reer. We are now laying down the
foundation and the controlling lines
OF a new era in our history. Every
thing l can do will be done to see that
the people, West and East, realize the
facts and act accordingly.
BY no act of mine, by no word of
mine, has this grave question been in
! Volved in factional politics. In every
State in which the law governs such
matters L have promptly withdrawn
my name from all factional struggles.
In cable message from Trinidad on
March 3, last / requested and insisted
that my friends in Massachusetts re-
train from such contest, and | would
have invoked the law there, as | did in
other States, If there had been such
a law.
In that statement | also said that
was not interested in the political
fortunes either of myself or others,
and / have resolutely stuck to that de-
nd
and do not intend to express myself
as being for or against any man.
Fighting For Great Principles
"As regards myself, | do not believe
that the delegates ought to nominate
me at Chicago unless they are pre-
pared whole-heartedly and without re-
serve to make the fight along the lines
above outlined. l am fighting for
certain great and vital principles.
Those who take their stand in such
matter because of factional or per-
sonal prejudice are either lacking in
| patriotism or else are blind to the
tremendous forces at work the world
over In the midst of a tragedy with
out parallel in the worlds vision, the
work to be done is not that of the poll
tician, but of the patriot
For that reason j most earnestly
hope that the delegates, who go to
| Chicago, will nominate some man on
whom Republicans and Progressives
can combine, and, who, moreover, can
be heartily supported by all indepen-
dent citizens, and particularly by all
! Independent Democrats, who are loyal
| to the nationalism of Andrew jack
son and who are prepared to put the
vital honor and interest of this ma
ton above all mere partisan consid-
erations.
81 hope they will choose a man
upon whom all can unite and who, If
elected, we can be absolutely certain
will put the principles above set forth
into actual effect in the government
of the country"
Colonel Roosevelt, expressed graft
fication with the reception of his
views on preparedness, national duty
and Americanism" in the Middle West.

government. The preamble of this
measure recites that it is the intention
of the United States to eventually free
the Philippines without specifying the
time.
The bill now goes to a conference of
the House and Senate. The House in
structed its conferees not to agree to
the liking of any definite date for
Philippine independence.
Manuel l.. Quezon, resident COM
missioner of the Philippines in Con-
gress, predicted that the bill would
die in conference and that the fight
for political freedom of the islands
would be most difficult in the future.
He was so disappointed, he said, and
declared he would not return to Con-
gress.
An eight-hour debate over the bill
carried the House into a late session
last night and failure greeted repeated
attempts TO modify the terms in such
a way as to grant independence be-
tween two and six years and four and
eight years from now.
The final vote stood 213 to strike
out the Clarke amendment and 165
against. The vote by which the Jones
bill was substituted was PSI for and II
against. The body of the Jones bill
contains no reference to Philippine
independence.
Republicans were iubilant over the
Houses action and hooted Justify at
the majority side after the vote was
announced.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all TO pieces
You can get this at any drug store, and
few ounces will last the whole family
for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in; about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. II makes an

Little Mary
Has Role of
Dutch Girlie

Adding another new characters
cation to her already long list Of
inimitable portrayals, Mary Pick
ford comes to the Colonial thea
ter tomorrow as little Dutch
girl in 'Hulda From Holland"
The dainty Paramount star is
said to be very clever as the
maid from the land Of tulips.
In Miss Pickford's latest pic
ture the queen of the screen has
a role both appealing and sympa-
thetic, yet with the best oppor-
tunities for comedy she has had
for many months. Little Mary
appears as a girl who is left with
the care of three small brothers
on her hands and some of the
scenes are irresistibly funny.
There is a tender thread of ro-
nance running through the story.
A strong cast supports Miss
Pickford, including John Bow
ers, Frank Losee and Russell
Bassett, as well as some clever
children.
