NO BANDANA FLOUTING FOR BATTLE BOB La Follette Says Roosevelt Has No Constructive Powers and Is Pro gressive Only In Words Issues and Principles Necessary. Bryan and Teddy Contrasted With Favor to Former Roosevelt Missed Opportunity. MADISON, Wis., July 12. Sena tor Robert M. LaFolletto today wont on record as opposed to the third party movement fathered by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. In an editorial In LaFollette's Weekly, he not duly declared against tho Roosevelt move, but scathingly attacked tho Colonel's motives in organizing the now party. LaFollette's editorial Is headed; "The Case of Mr. Roosevoit," and he sums up his conclusions ns follews: "Mr. Roosevelt appeals to progres sives to Join his party. Roosovolt's whole record demonstrates that "he has no constructive powers; that he Is progressive only In words; that he Is ever ready to compromise la order to win, regardless of platform prom ises or progressive principles. "He will not last. In the end the people of this country will get his true measure. "No party was ever successfully or ganized about a man. Principles and issues must constitute the basis of any great movement." Comparing Roosevelt with Bryan, LaFollette says: . "Bryaa at Rsltlfflore, ,'forfolBg all chances of his own nomination', marshalling all his forces, bravlHg Tammany and the trusts to rescue his party from their domination, carrying the convention for the adoption of a progressive platform, the most progressive yet offered, was a towering flguro ot moral power and patriotic devotion to civic righteous ness. "Roosevelt at Chicago, hacked by money derived from the stock water ing operations of the steel trust and the harvester trust, organizing what are now confessed to have been 'fake' contests as to nearly 200 dele gates ln order to control the conven tion and secure his own nomination, refusing to aid In the making of a progressive platform, bound to have tho nomination or deciroy tho repub lican party was a striking example of mis-used power and unworthy ambi tion. "Ho had 08 great opportunity to serve tho party as Dryan, but ho was for tho man." TEDDY LAUGHS AT TALE OF BRIBERY TOLD BY LORIMER OYSTER DAY, N. Y., July 13. Senator Lorlmer's allegation that ho had consonted to tho attempted bri bery or dolegates to tho recent Chica go republican convontlon eeemod to afford Colouol Roosevoit much amuse- mont today. When his attontlon was called to the Lorlmer speech of yes terday, In which the Illinois sonator guvo tho nnmea ot Taft dolegates, who ho snld, wore offerod money to desert Taft, Roosevelt aaked: "Who presented these affidavits?" "Sonator Lorlmor of Illinois," he was told. Roosevoit threw back his head and laughed. Then ho said: "Woll, I don't think I care to make any commont ou what Lorlmer, ot Illinois has to say. To know who was tho lntroducor o! such affida vits ought to be enpugh for the. avorago man." Colonol Roosevelt conferred today with Alexander P. Moore ot Piitsburg. Timothy L. Woodruff ot Brooklyu, and a number of the leaders ot the national progressive party. After ward ho said his plans for hla west ern trip wero still uncertain. He stated that they would be made by O, K. Dayls and Senator Joseph M. Dixon. r?
