that the packers dissolve, and dissolve
in reality and not on a 'paper basis.
Whether the present plan will be ap-
, proved by the government cannot be de

THIRD TICKET IN MICHIGAN
Roosevelt Insists that Convention
Name Full Slate.
ORDERS WILL BE CARRIED OUT
Opposition to 'Naming Candidate for
Governor Led . by Frank W.
Knox Finally Agrees to
- Sobaide.
JACKSON, Mich., July 20.-A ,,fuU"
ticket, embracing presidential electors
and state, congressional and legislative
candidates will be placed in the field
by the first state progressive conven
tion here before adjournment.
This plan was decided on today after
Senator Joseph M. Dixon, Colonel Roose
velt's campaign manager, had arrived
and conferred with a number of pro
gressive leaders. Frank W. Knox, former
western manager for Colonel Roosevelt,
who had been working for the "stub"
ticket plan, announced, he was in favor
of whatever the former president wanted.
And Senator Dixon made it plain that
the colonel desired a complete new
ticket
"Nothing but a full new ticket will
suit Colonel Roosevelt," Senator Dixon
said. "He wants to make the whole
fight in Michigan or none. People
throughout the coutry are demanding a
new party and they shall have It."
The Platform.
The following declaration were adopted
by the convention:
"We denounce in unequivocal terms the
crime against popular government perpe
trated at Chicago In the national republi
can convention. We repudiate the action
of that convention, made up in part of
faudulently seated delegates, and declare
that the fraud there perpetrated, strikes
a blow at the very foundations of the
republic, which can only survive through
free and untrammeled popular govern
ment We declare the action thus con
summated cannot be and is not binding
upon any citizen.
"The situation thus produced makes It
Imperative that proper steps be taken to
give to the people the opportunity to ox-
press their will ! In the selection of a
president, out of which they were cheated
by the successful fraud practiced by a
repudiated national committee at Chicago
at the behest of the special Interests.
Crooked Bnslneaa Denonnced.
"The consistent effort of crooked ousl.
ness, , in unholy alliance with -crooked
bosses, to usurp the powers of govern
ment, through control of party machin
ery, constitutes the greatest menace to
real popular rule. Therefore, this body
of Independent citizens here and now ded
icate their efforts to the maintenance
and perpetuation ' of those principles of
social and industrial justice and equal
lty of opportunity upon which the repub
lic was founded, and which must endure
and be transmuted into a rule of political
conduct if the nation Is to survive.
"We are especially concerned in tha
election of a progressive delegation to
thergeraWand house of representatives,
and we repudiate as unworthy the con
fidence of the people of the state of Mich
igan any candidate now holding office,
Who' does not favor the progressive meas
ures advocated by Theodore Roosevelt
and the progressive delegation in con
gress, and "who do not make open and
specific declaration of their fidelity
thereto.
"We pledge the delegates to the na
tional convention of the party to tho
nomination " of Theodore Rsoiavelt for
president of the United States and in
struct them to commend to tho national
convention a thorough discussion and a
clear declaration of progressive princi
ples to be embodied in the rational plat
form; and among others the following:
"The initiative,' referendum and recall
and direct nominations and elections, not
only as applied to states, b it alsc in
the extension of these principles to the
nation as a whole.
"The equalization of the burdens of

SEA GIRT. N. J., July 20.-A special
train bearing the democratic congressmen
from Washington reached Sea Girt this
afternoon and the delegation, headed by
Speaker Clark, walked from the station
to the governor's cottage 200 yards away.
Governor Wilson met the speaker half
way down tho walk, returned to the porch
with him and there received the other
members of the party.
A novel method of campaigning had
been proposed for Governor Wilson's con
sideration by several members of the na
tional committee. The members would
have the governor speak once from the
same platform with each of his opponents
for the nomination at Baltimore and in
their home states. Their proposal is that
he speak at St. Louis with Champ Clark,
at Cincinnati or Cleveland with Governor
Harmon, at Boston with Governor Fobs,
at Hartford or New Haven with Governor
Baldwin, at Indianapolis with Governor
Marshall, at New Tork with Mayor Gay-
nor and at Birmlnghamwlth Representa
tive Underwood.
Instead of traveling to North Dakota
to speak there with Governor Burke the
proposal Is that Governor Wilson and the
North Dakota executive speak from the
same platform at St. Paul.
After a short speech by Speaker Clark,
Governor Wilson said:
"It seems to me that the real difficulty
of politics in our modern days Is that
men have not laid their minds, alongside
one another In having a common Interest
In what they seek to do. You cannot ac
commodate Interests by having these In
terests hold off and say We are not go
ing Into the common council.'
"You can in a common partnership of
council bring all the people of the United
States into partnership with one another,
and therefore It Is with particular pleas
ure that I welcome the opportunity to
day to meet you. I hope this is only the
beginning of a long acquaintanceship
which will be a union n a singularly high
undertaking."

to Be Developed.
The long talked of Platte river power
canal, which Is to furnish Omaha with
cheap water power, controverted Into
electric energy, is now to be built.
It is to be built by development of what
is known as the Fremont water rights,
with principal Installation near Fremont,
instead of what is known as the Colum
bus power canal project.
It is to be built by a combination of
capitalists, representing a Junction of
forces of the Kountxe Brothers' syndi
cate and the General Electric and local
capitalists who own the Omaha Electrio
Light and Power company, through
whose distributing plant the output of
the power canal will be distributed.
From. the sources from which the in
formation comes assurance la given that
the canal and power plant will this time
be really, truly built, that work ,wlll be
begun this year as soon as plans can be
perfected and contract let, and that the
whole project will be completed and ready
for business in about two years.

location Is given preference because there
are no complications there as to water
rights, other things being equal, while
the Columbus filings are apparently in'
terminably tied up in the courts because
of disputing claimants.
The amount of money required to carry
out the scheme is estimated to be about
35,000,000. A gigantic corporation is al
ready being formed which will command
the necessary capital, and also take over
by conversion the ownership of the pres
ent Omaha lighting plant with Its physi
cal property, going business and franchise
rights.
It is expected, too, that all the other
local corporations using large power will
be brought In as patrons and power
users, if not enlisted in the financing of
the power canal Itself.
