CHICAGO, June 6.-George W. Per
kins today tried to pour oil upon the

Perkins statement follows:
To the Delegates to the Progressive
Convention Who are Now Assembling
Let me remind you that we are not
here for the avowed purpose of being
against any one. We are for some
one and that some one is Theodore
Roosevelt. l urge you to bear this in
mind in all your conversations with
whomsoever you talk while in Chicago.
The purpose of tearing down men
and things in this country and in the
world should stop. 1t Is time to be-
for somebody and something, We
haven't got 1t in" for anybody or
anything. We are out for a matchless
man and an incompatible cause You
know that no one else has such
man, and that he is the cause. There
fore, we have no second choice.
