(Continued from Pago One.) by tho committee on resolutions. The committee of nineteen members had entered en-tered their deliberations, most of them declared, heartily in favor of expressing themselves for noborl M. La Toilette-Their Toilette-Their opinions had benn changed nfter they had heard addresses by rlnchot and Fackler. and nfter the resolution, which was prepared by llouser and Plnchot. was described by the former national forester forest-er as the best way of advancing La Fol-Wte's Fol-Wte's Interests. The resolution was reported re-ported lo tho conference. Just after Senator Sen-ator Works had nude an address urging the delegates to follow tho example of California and to centralize their campaigning cam-paigning for one man. "Colonel Roosevelt should declare himself," him-self," lie said, 'both as to his candidacy and as to his stand on the principles that are accepted as progressive. If this movement attempts to center Itself around its principles and not around a candidate, It will lessen Its chances of success. if Roosevelt should declare himself. 1 would not hesitate lo support hhn and neither would Senator La Fallot te. La Follette has made the principles for which he stands an issue. California has indorsed him and fell thnt an attempt to evade It would have been cowardly." Argument of Pinchot. The committee- report came at tho end of Senator Works's speech anil was followed fol-lowed by Plnchot, who defended the resolution. res-olution. "It would be foolish to deny," he said, "that there Is In Ohio, as well as In other states, a great number of men, maybe a majority, who favor heartily the pro-1 gresslve principles, but who favor the j nomination of Colonel Roosevelt as first choice and La Follctte as second Here let me say that there Is no one who Is working harder for the election of Senator Sena-tor La Follctte than I am. "T believe, most Intensely. I hat it would bo foolish to crystallize the Roosevelt Roose-velt progressive sentiment and the progressive pro-gressive sentiment of all other men, whatever- candidates they .may prefer, so that wo can get delegates to the Chicago convention who will vote for the progressive, progres-sive, candidate, which, we know, will be for La Follette. "If we declare for a single candidate, we run the risk of going to Chicago lo find nrogresslve delegates from different communities morally bound to support a half dozen candidates. Senator Clapn, In urging that the Wisconsin Wis-consin senator bo indorsed, argued in favor of concentrating as much as possible. pos-sible. "The sinister forces that are trying lo dominate tho Republican and Democratic parties will lose no sleep if the progressive progress-ive movement satisfies Itself with a declaration dec-laration of principles." he said. Brown Back in Line. Walter F. Brown, c'nalrman of Ihe Republican Re-publican state central committee, who a. week ago was road out of tlie progressives progress-ives by Fackler for his proposed presidential presi-dential preference plan, held a long morning morn-ing conference with Plnchot. llouser and Fackler and worked with them on the resolution which finally Tvns adopted. The delegates, many of whom had come from counties which had no organization and were, named by Fackler. appeared divided di-vided as. to the action on the resolution. resolu-tion. M. S. Crandall ?nd O. . Lighlncr of Cincinnati disagreed on Wnat Senator La Follettc's wishes would be Both claimed to have talked with him recently and to have received their Information at first hand. "f-'ejiator La Follellc told me It would not be wise lo indorse blm as a candidate at present," said Mr. Crandall. "for fear of alienating the men who stand for his principles, but will work at first for another an-other Candida lo." l was the Inst man to tafk with Senator Sen-ator La Follette in Cincinnati." said Mr. Llchtner. "and he assured me he hoped the Oflio progressives would show their faith In him by giving him the Indorsement." |
