Show THE DECLINES TO BE CANDIDATE ON THIRD TICKET No Time to Sulk Yet It has become entirely evident that the people under existing conditions are not prepared to accept a new party. It is impossible for us Progressives to abandon our convictions. But we are faced with the fact that as things actually are the Pro gresslve national organization no offers the means whereby longer we can make these convictions effective In our national life. Under such circumstances, our duty is to do the best we can, and not to sulk because our leadership Is rejected. That we ourselves continue to believe that the course we advocated was In the highest interest of the American people i aside from the question. It Is unpatriotic to refuse to do the best possible merely because the people have not put us In position to do what we regard as the very best. It remains for and with comus, mon sense, to face the situation and endeavor to get out of it the best that it can be made to yield from the standpoint of the Interests of the nation as a whole.

Since the adjourn- ment of the convention I have received between 2000 and 3000 letters and telegrams from men who had supported me for the nomlna-natlothe majority expressing the desire that I would refuse to run while a minority ured that I should accept the nomination. As t 1 1 1 I .t t 1 1 1 1 such answer. Personal Plaudits Before speaking of anything else to express my heartiest and most unstinted admiration for the character and services of the men and women who made up the national convention In Progressive 1914. I ran give them no higher praise than to say that In all respects they stood level with the men and women who in 1912 joined at Chicago to found the Progressive party. These two conventions. In character. In disinterestedness, in vision. In insight. In high purpose end in desire to render practical service to the people, typified exactly what such bodies ought to be in a great democracy. They represented the spirit which moved Abraham Lincoln and his political associates during the decade preceding the close of the civil war. The platform put forth in 1912 wa3 much the most Important public document promulgated In this conntry Ince the death of Abraham Lincoln. It represented the scaie to nrst errort on a formulas cf translate abstract large eoonomlo and social justice Into concrete American nationalism; the effort to apply the principles of "VTasMnffton and Lincoln to the need ef the United States In the twentieth century. No finer effort was ever made to serve the American people. In a spirit of high loyalty to all that is loftiest In the American tradition. Events have shown that the Progressive party Into191 1 offered the triumph the only alternative of the Democrat! o party. Moreover these events have shown that the of the principles which application w then advocated Is even more I wish self-governi- . I f ng- necessary to this nation than we at the time supposed. Universal Training , The results of the terrible world war of the past two years have now made It evident to all who are willing to see, that In this country there must be spiritual and industrial preparedness, along the lines of efficiency, of loyal service to the nation and of practical application of the precept that each man must be his brother's keeper. Furthermore,, it Is no less evident that this preparedness for the tasks of peace forms the only sound basis for that Indispensable military preparedness which rests on universal military training and which finds expression in universal obligatory service In time of war. Such universal obligatory training and service are the necessary complements of universal suffrage, and represent the realization of the true American, the democratic.

No administration in our history had done more to relax the spring of the national will and to deaden the national conscience. Within the Republican party conforces were at work. There flicting were men among the organization a v - so-call- German-America- pletely merged in our common American nationality; a nationality distinct from any in Europe, for Americans who are good Americans are no more than than they are or or Scandinavian-AmericanThey are Americans and nothing else. No good American, whatever his ancestry or creed, can have any feeling except scorn and detestation for those professional who seek to make the American President in effect a viceroy of the German emperor. The professional of this type are acting purely In the sinister Interest of Germany. They have shown their eager readiness to sacrifice the interest of the United States whenever its Interest conflicted with that of Germany. They represent that adherence to the politico-racihyphen which is the badge and sign of moral treason to the republic. I have singled these men out for specific denunciation, and assuredly if I support a candidate It may be accepted as proof that I am certain that the candidate is incapable of being Influenced by the evil Intrigues of these hyphenated Americans. Mr. Hughes character and his whole course of conduct in public affairs Justify us In the assured conviction that the fact that these men have for their own purposes supported him will.

Six weeks later, March 9, In my Trinidad statement, I asked for a similar combination against the Democratic party, on a platform of "clean-cu- t, straight-out- . national Americanism," and for a candidate "who will not merely stand for such a program before election, but will resolutely and In good faith put It through If elected." This was. in effect, the same statement that I made in my telegram to Jackson, pending the convention, which ran In m German-America- Disapproves Third Ticket Certain of my friends who feel that the Progressives should run a third ticket base their feeling on obpectlon to the character or actions of the Republican national convention. As regards this point. It is sufficient to say that the mem- . bers of the Republican national convention were unquestionably induced to nominate Mr. Hughes primarily because of the belief that his integrity and force of character, and his long record of admirable public service, would make him peculiarly acceptable, not only to the rank and file of the Republican party, but to the people generally. I do not believe that Mr. Hughes would have been nominated If It had not been for the fight on behalf of public decency and efficiency which the Progressive party has waged during the past four years. In any event, and without 'any regard to wlat the personal feelings of any of us may be as regards the action of the Republican convention, I wish very solemnly Wilson9s Words and Deeds The events of the last three and a half years have shown that as can-n- be said for Wilson. much In Mr. Wilson's case we do not have to consider his words, but his deeds. His deeds absolutely contradict his words; and for the matter of that his words absolutely contradict one another. It Is folly to pay heed to any of the promises In the platform on which" he now stands In view of the fact that almost every Important promise contained In the platform on which he stood four years ago has since been broken. We owe all of our present troun ble with the professional element In the United States to Mr. Wilson's timid and vacillating course during the last two years. Tbo defenders of Mr. Wilson have alleged In excuse for him that he confronted a difficult ot . German-America- situation. As regards Mexico, the situation which Mr. Wilson confronted was that nothing like as difficult as conwhich President McKinley fronted In connection with Cuba and the Philippines at the time of the Spanish war. Under the actual circumstances we could with only a minimum of risk have protested on behalf of Belgium, a email, nation, when she was exposed to the last extremity of outrage by the brutal violation, of her neutral rights; this violation being itself a violation of The Hague conventions to which we were a signatory power. As regards the foreign situation the great war, the generally during fact of the existence of the war made It far easier and safer for Mr. Wilson to assort our rights than if he had had to deal with some single strong power which at the time unhampered y w a r.

We shall prove false to our ideals and our professions If, In this grave crisis cf the nation's life, we permit ourselves to be swerved, from the one prime duty of serving with d cool judgment and devotion the nation's needs. Our own political fortunes, indino vidually and collectively, are of consequence whatever when compared with the honor, and welfare cf the people in the United States. Such things do not jcount when weighed in the balance against our duty to serve well the country in which, after we are dead, our children' and our children's children are to live. The world is passing through a great crisis and no man can tell what trial and jeopardy will have to be faced by this nation during the years immediately ahead. There is now no longer before us for decision the question as to what particular man we may severally most desire to see at the head of the government. We can decide only whether during these, possibly vital years, this country shall be entrusted to the leadership of Mr. Hughes or Mr. Wilson. single-minde- Wilson Found Wanting Mr. Wilson has been tried and found wanting. His party, because of its devotion to the outworn theory of state rights, and because of its reliance upon purely sectional support, stands against that spirit nationalism which is of essential If we are to deal adequately with our gravest social and industrial problems. Mr. Wilson. and his party have in actual practive lamentably failed to safeguard the interest and honor of the United States. They have brought us to impotence abroad and to division and weakness at home. They have accustomed us to see the highest and most responsible offices of government filled by far-sight- ed Incompetent men appointed only for reasons of partisan politics. They have dulled the moral sense of the people. They have taught us that peace, the peace of cowardice and dishonor and indifference to the welfare of others, Is to be put above righteousness, above the stern and of duty, unflinching performance whether the duty 1b pleasant or unpleasant. Yet in Mexico they have failed even to secure the peace which they thus sought; and they have failed In spite of the most ample opportunity and most ample prepare in any real warning to tomeet fashion the crisis which their own policy invited. They . have taught us to put "safety first," safety before duty and honor; ex-to put that materialism which presses Itself in mere money-makinand in the fatted ease of life, above all spiritual things, above all the high and fine Instincts of the soul. They have taught us to accept adroit elocution as a substitute for straightforward and efficient action.

PROGRESSIVES GIVE SUPPORT TO HUGHES; COMMITTEE DOES AS ROOSEVELT ADVISED Republican Candidate Is Indorsed by Vote of 32 to 6. (Continued From rage 1.) In the an antl-Amerlc- Overtures for Coalition In addition to these publie statements, I had also stated my own attitude verbally, and in letters, during the weeks immediately preceding the convention, to scores of leading Progressives from all parts of the country. Including many of the leaders at the convention. To these men I expressed my earnest hope that the Republicans would so act as tc make It possible for the Progressives to join with them. I stated to them, however, that in view of the attitude of some of the Republican leaders it was at least conceivable that we should be put In a position where our highest duty, our fealty to the of what patriot-Iscountry, our sense demanded In a great crisis would make it Imperative upon us to run a separate ticket; and that whether in such event It would be necessary for me to head that ticket couid not be determined in advance. I stated In these Interviews and in these letters, with the utmost emphasis, that the decision of this point, like the whole matter of runa separate would have ning to be determinedticket, by what the Interests of the country demanded in view of the action finally taken by the conventions at Chicago.

If such a course were followed, it would obviously become our duty to run a third ticket.

Issued last January, and in my own statements. Under existing conditions the nomination of a third ticket would, In my judgment, be merely a move In the interest cf the election of Mr. Wilson. I regard Mr. Hughes as a man whose public record Is a guarantee that "he will not merely stand for straight-out- " a program of clean-cu- t, Americanism before election, but will resolutely and In good faith put It through if elected." He Is beyond all comparison better fitted to be President than Mr. Wilson. It would be a grave detriment to the Mr. country to Wilson. ' I shall, therefore, strongly support Mr. Hughes. Such being the case, it is unnecessary to say that I cannot accept the nomination on a third ticket. I do not' believe that there should be a third ticket. I believe that when my fellow Progressives coolly consider the question they will for the most part take this position. They and I have but one purpose the purpose to serve our common country. It is my deep conviction at this moment we can serve It only by supporting Mr. Hughes. It Is urged against Mr. Hughes that he was supported byn the various alliances. I believe that the attitude' of these professional was due, not In the least to any liking for Mr. Hughes, but solely to their antagonism to me. Tney were bound to defeat me for the nomination. The only way by which they could achieve this object was by supporting Mr. Hughes and they supported him accordingly, without any regard to other considerations. I need hardly repeat what I have already said in stern reprobationn of this professional element the element n typified by the alliances and the similar bodies, which have, In the prenomlnation campaign, played . not merely an but a thoroughly part. These men have nothing in common with the great body of Americans who are In whole or In part of German blood; and who are precisely as good Americans as those of any Democratic nominee. n, 1. In my Judgment the nomination of Mr. Hughes meets the conditions set forth in the statement of was clearly evident that unless a cataclysm occurred the presidential election would result In the choice of either the Republican or the NEW questions have arisen with powers of the first rank, such as England, Japan and Germany, each of which has necessitated for greater courage, resolution and Judgment on the part of the president dealing with it than President Wilson need have shown in order to put a complete stop to the continually repeated murder of American men, women and children on the high seas by German submarines the Lusitania being merely the worst of many such cases.

Chairman Hale ruled that the motion to Indorse or recommend the Republican candidate ror president was out- of order and a debate of several hours followed. Finally James R. Garfield appealed from the decision of the chair and was sustained In his contention by a vote of 33 to 14.

John M. Parker declared many cf the Progressives were former Democrats and if the party was not to put up a national ticket they should be permitted to select their own candidate for President. He intimated that he might vlte for President Wilson. While the debate was at its height Clarence Strouse read a resolution f.aid to have been passed by the delegates from Virginia to the Progressive national convention, opposing the Indorsement of any other than a Progressive for President and challenged the right of James R.

Chairman Hale made an earnest appeal against the indorsement before the vote was taken. Many of the committeemen in voting took occasion to explain their vote. Harold L.

William Flinn of Pennsylvania, said that 05 per cent of the Progressives in Pennsylvania were for Hughes. Dr. Harris of Rhode Island said that a majority of the Progressives In his state favored Wilson.

We are alive to the imperative necessity of assuring the bases of honest business. I am In deep sympathy with the effort to improve the conditions of labor; to prevent exploitation; to safeguard the future of the nation by protecting our women and children. I believe in workmen's compensation laws; in wise conservation of our national resources so that they may be protected, developed and used to the utmost public advantage. But underlying every endeavor to promote social justice Is the Indispensable condition that there shall en-be a stable foundation for honorable terprise. American industry must have proper protection if labor is to be safeguarded. We must rescue our instrumentalities of Interests . and foreign commerce, our transportation facilities, from uncertainty and confusion. .We must show that we know how to protect the public without destroying or crippling our productive energies.
