Moose Leave Vacancy on Party Ticket Unfilled
INDIANAPOLIS Aug 4 Plans for reorganization and perpetuation of the Progressive party were adopted at a conference of Bull Moose representatives. The group decided it would be impracticable to reassemble the national convention and fill the vacancy caused by Theodore Roosevelt's declination. Instead an electoral ticket will be put up in states with an active nucleus bearing John M. Parker of Louisiana as vice president nominee. States include Louisiana Maryland Indiana Missouri Wisconsin Michigan Utah North Dakota Minnesota. J A H Hopkins of New Jersey named treasurer and Matthew Hale of Massachusetts to head the campaign. An executive committee of fifteen will be named to cooperate with the national committee. A notice condemned the June 26 1916 actions as illegal. The party vows to preserve its existence and plan a national conference after the election. Parker sent a protest to Oscar Straus over a letter soliciting contributions for Hughes.
