General Supt. Woodward said this waa & good stop for a 600-ton train, and one which satisfied him perfectly.

MOOSE MAY BACK GAYNOR IN SECOND _ RCEFORMAYOR Will Accept Only a Pro- gressive Democrat, Says County Chairman. WHITMAN IS REJECTED. Bird Indicates Present Execu- tive Can Get Support on Anti-Boss Platform. Bull Moose County Chairman Francis W. Bird, in an official statement to-day, Dut that party flatly upon record, de- atroying hopes of some of the fusion movementa recently planned. The party insists on the nomination for the Mayoralty of a Progressive Dem- carat, and will indorse no other. The ergument is that the city vote is norm- ally Democratic and progressives of any other complexion cannot win against machine candidates of either side backed by financial Interests, The editorial utterances of the Ne York Progressive newspapers indicat Mayor Gaynor is the “Progress! Democrat” in mind, as clearly as Chairman Bird's ultimatum reflects the views of Theodore Roosevelt, George W. Perkins and other prominent Progres- elves. A Inviting @ general fusion of the Progressives of all parties on anti-boss principles, Mr. Bird makes it plain that the Bull Moose party will not lend its emblem to a fusion for Whitman, no matter who nominates him, Upon this subject the statement slg nificantly declares; “It is not enough that a man may have shown integrity and ability as a legislator, popularity as an after-dinner wpeaker, skill as & lawyer, or capacity as & prosecuting officer. A city whose annual budget approximates $20,000,000 a year would be foolish not to require that its Mayor be @ man of demon: strated ability and thorough experience in business-like administration. DEMANDS PLEDGES FROM ANTI- TAMMANY CANDIDATE: Mr. Bird said: “The Progressives are just now more interested in the pledged policies of the next city administration than ite |, more interested in the prin- ciples for which the campaign will be waged than In attempting to decide in June who should be nominated in Aug- ust and September. The Progressives are ready to co-operate in every way with the Citizens’ Municipal Committee and every lberal civic element in the community, If the Citisens’ Municipal Committee will let ne definitely and concretely, its as to the kind of @ campaign it to make this year, ané will bring it about that all candidates for anti-Tammany nomina- tions state clearly thelr views upon the constructive municipal reforms de- manded by the Progressives in all three parties, it will then be time te deaide who can beat be the candidates.” Mr. Bird then calls attention to the strong element of liberal minded voters whe are opposed to bose "The Progressive party, I believe, ts insistent that in this municipal campaign there shall be afforded a rallying point for those progressive voters—Democratic, Progressive and Republican—and a clean- cut standard of battle raised in behalf of those principles, That rallying point should be primarily, in my opinion, the Citisens' Municipal Committee, if posst- ble, but the Progressive party if need be. in’ont upon the part of %l-partisan fin- ancial and political interests to dictate is Pro ve party will never stand. Reactionary elements in finance and politics may dictate the Tammany and the Republican nomina- tons; they may even capture the Citl- ins’ nomination, although I hope not; the rule of political machines in any form, or in any place, We are especi- ally at war with that bi-partisan com- bination which ts to-day throttling the popular demand for direct nominations. {t is inconostvablé that the Republican and Democratic bosses who are standing houlder to shoulder in Albany this would conduct anything but ao sham battle in New Yort this fall.

BIG AND LITTLE BOSBES GET A REAL BULL MOOSE RAP. Concluding the statement, Bi vt th Uberal voters of New York against the politicians who seek a meaningless campaign. He fires this parting salute at the big and little bosses whom the Chief Bull Moose, T. R, loves to lash #0 heartily: “If the Citisens’ Munictpal Committee makes clear that it is ready to lead a Teally worth-while campaign to admin- tater here @ decisive lasting defeat to the old-time bosses who now stand with their backs to the wall in Albany, every resource of the Progressive party in this county will be enlisted In euch a fight. “When financial reactionaries join hands with political reactionaries to dic- tate the Democratic and Republican nominations, it is time for all anti-ma- ghine voters to rally under a common standard—the Citisens’ Committes, if possible, but the Progressive party, if need be—to defeat the odious bi-partisan- ship which is proposing to extend its Al- bany rule of action to New York City.” ——.
