Indiana Progressives Refuse to Follow Roosevelt Lead.

The state committee and other prominent members of the Progressive party in Indiana held a meeting in Indianapolis Wednesday afternoon and set July 20 as the date for holding the Progressive state convention. A resolution was adopted asking that another national convention be called to nominate a candidate for president in place of Roosevelt and repudiated the action of National Committeemen W. H. Dye at the meeting of the national committee June 26 in the following vigorous language: “That the action of the national committeeman from Indiana, at the meeting of the national committee In Chicago, June 26 last, in indorsing

the candidacy of the Republican party's nominee for the presidency has failed to express the sentiment jof the Progressive voters of the state, and his action in the premises is hereby repudiated and the voters are not bound in any manner by his action.”
