TO THIRD TICKET
One Faction Would Nominate a
Third Ticket in Linn Co. But -Meets
with Opposition.
SECRETARYOF CLUB REPLIES
TO STATE COMMITTEEMAN
Those Favoring County Ticket
' Demand that a Convention '
Determine the Matter.
Taking exception to a statement is
sued by Geo. Sanders, state commit
teeman of the Progressive party, in
which he opposes the nomination of
a third ticket in Linn county, I. R.
Sehultz,' secretary of the Roosevelt
club, today authorized the publication
of the following statement in the col
umns of the Democrat:
"The Progressive party was organ
ized as a revolt against the stand-pat
Taft Republicans, and the machine
methods of the stand-patters, and to
advance and put into effect through
the medium of a third party the pro
gressive ideas wc represent. And to
now vote for the local Taft Republi
can candidates, and also elect a Taft
Republican legislature, and thus give
a. id and comfort to the Taft-Republi-cau
machine, is about the most fool
ish and absurd 'thing that a Progres
sive could do. .-..
"Should Mr, Sanders refuse to call
a convention to consider that matter;
he will find the Linn county Progres
sives are not all 'mollycoddles, and
that fully 90 per cent of them will
vote against the Taft-Republican can
didates, by voting for the Democratic
candidates, where there is no Pro
gressive ticket in the field.
"One of the principal objects of our
organization is to eradicate and de
stroy the Taft-Republican machine,
root and stem. And those who art
in a sane condition, are not liable to
be found supporting any Taft-Republican
candidates, local or otherwise.
"The facts of the matter arc: that
petitions are being prepared and will
be circulated among the members of
the Progressive party in Linn county,
making a formal demand upon State
Committeeman Geo. E. Sanders, to
issue a call for a county convention,
for the purpose of determining wheth
er or not a Progressive ticket will be
placed in nomination in this county."
