Issues a Carefully Prepared Statement in Which He Announces His Willingness to Lead An Indepen dent Party, and Calls on His Friends to Join Him in a Fight to the Finish. Chicago, June 20 Colonel Roose velt today decided to( take the bit in his teeth and repudiate the present Republican convention without furth er delay. In a carefully prepared statement, which he read to his personal advis ers to be later handed to his delegates, the Colonel announced his willingness to lead an independent party for the principles of the progressive move ment, and called on such of his friends as placed these above party loyalty to join him in the fight to the finish.. He thanked hi3 friends in the Republican organization and those who have fought with him up to the present and released them from any obligations other than their desire to join him in the fight for these princi ples. The Colonel's declaration in part follows: "The time has come when I feel that I must make certain statments, not merely to honestly elected mem bers of the Republican national con vention but to the rank and file of the Republican party and to the honest people of the entire nation. I went into this fight for certain principles. At this moment I can only serve these principles by continuingto bear the personal responsibility which their advocacy has brought me.

No matter which Democrat is se lected by the convention next week as the Presidential nominee, it seemed certain yesterday after a canvass ot the situation that the campaign man agers of the successful nominee will ask one of the defeated candidates to take the Vice Presidential nomina tion. It is understood that in the event of Wilson's nomination eituer Clark or Harmon will be asked to take sec ond place. The Clark people will attempt to have either Wilson or Gaynor take second place if the Speaker is success ful. 1 ' . It is believed that if Harmon is nominated he will want either Wilson or Uuderwood as second choice on the ticket with him. Friends of Underwood say that if he is nominated their preference for second place will be either Harmon or a progressive from the Far West. Gaynor 's nomination, it is said, would mean that Champ Clark would be asked to take second place. ROOT LOOKED UPON AS A DARK HORSE. Many ThinJ?
