July 16.—There will be no Compromise with the. Republican party and no effort to capture it at the fall elec tion, according to Colonel Roosevelt, but there will be a distinct and independent progressive third party, the watchword and battle cry of which will be "no com promise,'' if the colonel can have his way In his statement he said: "I see that in Pennsylvania and Mary land the proposal has been made that identical Roosevelt and Taft electors shall run and the electors who are chosen cast their votes for whichever one. either Mr. Taft or myself, who gets the most, votes. I trust that no such plan will be adopt ed. I claim In every primary state where the primaries were carried for me and where electors have been nominated that as a matter of the highest obligation those men are bound to vote for me, for I am the nominee of the overwhelming majority of the rank and file of the Re publican partv and Mr Taft's nomination represents nothing but the successful dis honesty of the Barnea-Penrose-Guggen heim machine and is not. binding upon any honest Republican. Will Not Assent to Aid Taft. "In certain of these states, as I under stand it, there Is now a contest on in the primaries to see whether my name or that of Mr. Taft shall be put on the regu lar ticket Instead of being nominated by petition, it being the Intention of the party beaten in the primary to nominate its electors by petition. This is all right and proper; but so far as I have any say in the matter, 1 shall not assent to any arrangement by which under any cir cumstances my supporters or electors supported by them shall cast their votes for Mr. Taft. "I make my appeal to all progressives no matter what’their past affiliations may be who genuinely believe In progressive principles and who believe as I do that both of the. old party organizations are completely under the dominion of the bosses and of special privilege and that both the Chicago and Baltimore platforms are fundamentally unprogressive and re actionarv platforms, showing that it is hopeless to expect from either of the old parties under present conditions any real and far-reaching progressive movement. Therefore, I hope that in every state the progressives without regard to their past party as illations may have the chance to vote at the polls for electors who, in ithe electoral college, will cast their votes for the national progressive candidate for president.” 1 And you could wear your coat on the bleachers and root even I for a losing team in comfort.

Felder says that when the dispensary investigating commit tee meets again in Augusta it will be furnished direct and absolute proof that Governor Cole Blease, of South Caro lina, had agreed to sell the pardon of the notorius yeggman, Dentley, alias Murphy, to Detective Reed, of the Burns agency, for $15,000. He says this will be proved by the prisoner himself, w’ho will be sum moned as a witness and will testify to a conversation he had with an agent of the governor who told him that the pardon was ready as soon as the money should be paid down. Mr. Felder says he will offer further proof in the shape of evidence showing that Governor Blease and Nichols held a final secret conference in Columbia the night be fore Nichols wired the supposed attor ney in Chicago that he should come on at once to Spartanburg and “wind up the pardon case.” Mr. Felder says the telegram con nected with the distagraph testimony (when the bribe arrangement is alleged to have been made) will be presumptive evidence of a most convincing sort; that Blease was prepared to write the Dentley pardon when the charges of pardon bribery cropped out in the in vestigation. The Burns detective, E. S. Reed, who inveigled Lawyer Nichols into’tha hotel in Washington and there made the "pardon bribe deal" with the aid of the dictagraph, left Atlanta this morning.
