individuals their influence had before
that time been small. As such a group
they worked an enormous change IN
American conditions.
"6. Facing these essential facts, which
transcend partisan or personal consid-
erations, the National Committee sets
forth the following as its earnest and
solemn convictions:
at accepts the resignation of Colonel
Roosevelt as the candidate of the party
for President of the United States, and
concurs in the reasons for his action
given in his letter Of resignation. II
recognizes his past service TO the
country as leader of this party, a ser
vice that cannot adequately be ex-
pressed in words, and it recognizes also
the sacrifice which the present crisis
has demanded of him and which he
has met in listening rather to the
urgent need of the nation than TO
partisan or personal ambition.
Declares for Hughes.
"The National Committee supports
Charles Evans Hughes, of New York.
FOR President
THE committee desires to make
il entirely clear that in its action
herein il asks nothing for the Pro
gressive party as a party or for the
members thereof. II imposes no con-
dition or consideration for the sup
port of the party save only the con
dition that Mr.. Hughes shall earnest
ly work toward the accomplishment Of
the great purposes of national secur-
ity and national honor and justice
which are set forth by Colonel Roose-
welt in his letter as the motive for
his action.
"The committee earnestly desires
that the power of the Progressive
movement. which has largely without
political victory accomplished so great
a change in the aspect Of American al
fairs, be continued and preserved in
tact for further service. To this end
the committee, therefore, recommends
that the organization of the Progress
siye party be preserved so far al pos
sible, and so far as is best consistent
with that purpose OF national service;
that the state committees continue in
operation and take such action as is
best fitted 10 give unity and express
sion 10 the Progressive movement in
their respective localities. The ma
tional committee will maintain its or
ganization for the same purpose
throughout the country. TO the end
that we may preserve the unified work
ing power of that great body Of men
and women OF high national purpose,
whose intellects and ideals were never
more needed by the country, and whose
power to make good these ideals will be
greatly increased by maintaining their
common action, both for the present
and for the future
After the national committee had ad-
journed the executive committee met
and organized. The committee elected
George W. Perkins chairman, K. II.
Hooker, of New York. treasurer. and o.
X. Davis, Of New York. secretary.
Chairman Perkins announced that he
would call a meeting Of the executive
committee in New York within ten
days 10 confer with Nr Hughes and
Republican managers 70 cooperate
with them in the national esmpign.

S.YEAR.OLD WEDDING
REVEALED BY DIVORCE
White Plains Friends Never
Knew ShaWs Were Married.

The secret that Mrs. Grace Z. Shaw
and Ellwood Shaw, of White Plains,
have so carefully guarded for eight
years came out in the Supreme Court
Of Westchester County yesterday, when
Mrs. Shaw was granted divorce. Until
the case was called no one in White
Plains suspected that the couple were
more to each other than old friends.
After the ceremony, which was per-
formed in Hoboken, Mrs. Shaw returned
to the home of her parents and became
a teacher in the public schools. Her
husband called on her frequently, and
was very attentive 10 her. Al the di-
vorce trial Shaw identified his hand
writing in a register from the Hotel
Lorraine. Atlantic City.

Two important questions are to be
considered at the coming March meet
ings. They are. the vote to make YER
mont a statewide prohibition state
and the other is the Direct Primary.
We have no doubt that the former
matter is well understood by all, but
are not certain as to the latter. Ask
the average man What is the Direct
Primary" and in nine cases out of
ten he cannot give you a correct an
swer. If this is true, it certainly be-
hooves every voter to post himself on
the question. Opinion is divided as
