Theodore Roosevelt, when he or
ganized the Bull Moose party in 1912
was unable to get recognition in

commonwealths prevented inclusion
OF the new party designation on the
ballots.
Most of the present difficulties are
arising in states which require petit

of the voters, in order to obtain In
dependent representation. Most COM
monwealths give until one month be-
fore the November election for inde-
pendent candidates to file petitions
and gain a place on the ballot. A
comprehensive survey has just been
made of the various state require

BERLIN, July 11.-Berlin newspaper
comment reflects disappointment over
the outcome of the interview in Paris
between Prime Minister Macdonald of
Great Britain and Premier Herriot Of

the German government for accepting

The Paris negotiations have resulted
in decidedly making worse the conditions

the opinion of the Boersenzeitung. which

as determining the period when the occu-

be wholly contingent upon the state Of

PoINCARE HITS NEW PLAN.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, July 11.-Former Premier
Poincare spoke yesterday for about
five hours in the Senate on the sub
reparations. He also discussed the
interviews between the British prime
minister and Premier Herriot.
M. Poincare declared that a begin
ming ought to be made by Germany
voting laws necessary under the ex-
perts' report. If Germany signed an
other protocol it would be another
German signature, and that was all.
ITO sum up" he continued, what
ever sacrifices the experts report
imposes on us, 1T offers US guaran-
tees that others have failed to
give us.
Suspicious of British.
M. Poincare was of the opinion that
1.-The true aim of the British foreign
office is to get rid of the reparation
commission"
The British government had de-
clared that the commission had be-
come the instrument of Franco-Bel-
gian policy, but, he added 1--WE
reply that France has So per cent of
reparations assigned to 1t, and has
only used it's preponderant vote once
and then not in connection with Ger
man affairs.
I'VE have accepted the experts
plan, not JealOuSly, but to end thin SS
and in a spirit of conciliation. 1t
grants Germany great advantages,
although these advantages are only
temporary"
Does Not Favor United States.
He was not satisfied with the COM
muniQue dealing with the latest in
terview between Premiers MacDon-
aid and Herriot, saying: TT seems to
restrict and modify the powers of the
reparation commission. I have no
fear of the addition of an American
delegate to the commission, but 1t
is singular to see such precautions
taken against u.s."
M. Poincare concluded by reiterat-
ing that France ought to evacuate
the Ruhr only as Germany pays, and
he defended his policy against the
frequently made charge of being
purely negative by pointing out that
it had led to the report of the ex-
perts."
