Show NO BULL MOOSE ' I FOR JJ. ALLEN I ..States His Position Clearly. Is a H Straight Republican and Will H Support Republican H Ticket. H Mr.- J. C. Allen whoso name was H signed to tho recent call for tho or- H ganlzatlou ot n branch of a National H Progressiva pnrty In this county, and H who wns on Wednesday elected as an H alternative to tho coming convention V to bo ' held nt Provo, yesterday made H plain to n representative at this pa laV per thnt ho was not In sympathy with lM tho movement, ns It had developed lo- Vm cally-, nnd thnt his associations with It wero nt an end. When asked for M an explanation as to his reasons for jM being n pnrty to tho call Mr. Allen M snld: M "Tho matter was presentedto mens 'M representing a popular local demand H for tho organization ot a party of 'U that kind In tho county, nnd whether M or not I would nlllllnto with an or- M gnnlzntlon ot the kind, I wns willing l to lend my unmo to tho calling of vt such n meeting to test tho matter out JH and listen to the wisdom of tho mul- H tltudcs. JuBt what course I would H then pursue would bo determined by H tho evidence submitted. Tho meet H Ing was called and the date for the S primary set, and tho few who wore S attracted to the standard Is now a S matter of history. To my mind events fl havo very quickly srystallzcd to tno fll effect that there is no occasion what- U over for such a party In this county -fl and whllo I was 'for Colonel Rooac- volt for President, I cannot consls- t tcntly, bo a party to an act that will JU work to the defeat ot tbo party to H which I have always belonged. I am ' S a Republican nnd shall do all In mv ,V power for the success of tho Uopub- U llcnn party, and Its regular nominees '9 tt this state nnd equity, fla I havo ;, 'M n'lways done." " m |
