WREELEK. National leaders In th La Follette insurgent movement came to tows yesterday, two days ahead of their Wol. and Immediately began calming the feara of the local leaders with respect to the threatened outbrssk of Colonel Roosevelt as a full-fledged candidate for the presidency. Walter Houaer, national chairman of the insurgent movement, gsthered the sub-lieu-tensnts around him yesterday In the Fort Dearborn building headquarters and assured them that Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.

La Follette were in full accord on the Issues now before the American people. He said that the friends of both men were united behind these principles and that Colonel Roosevelt would not attempt to smash the antl-thlrd term precedent. Elicited toy Ohla Clash. Mr. Houser's statement was elicited by the clash In the Ohio convention of Insurgents Monday, at which the Roosevelt men succeeded In defeating a proposed Indorsement of Mr.

La Follette, and by the raking fire turned loose by Governor Osborne of Michigan yesterday." The Michigan executive called oo both Preaident In tbe interest of tbe Republican party, and let Colonel Roosevelt walk up and capture the nomination in the convention on June 18. Mr. Houser does not place any credence In the widely heralded reports from New York and Washington that Colonel Roosevelt Is systematically cultivating a pro- Roosevelt sentiment aa the only way out of tbe quagmire Into which the Republican i doesn't. He does not expect the former President will recant his oft reiterated declaration that under no conditions what ever will be be a candidate next year, laawraent Chiefs Panicky. Despite these reassurances from Mr.

Houser, the local generals were filled with day, snd with one or two exception cast a leaden paH over the place. Among those who conferred on the situa tion yesterday, particularly with respect to tbe threatened eruption from Oyster Bay charlet R. Crane, once near minister to China. Mr. Crane had a talk with Walter Rogers, manager of the Middle Western La Follette campaign.

There is a story to the effect that Mr. Crsne and his close friends would not be crestfallen should Mr. Roosevelt leap astride his trusty mustang and head for Chicago on the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. It is said that these gentlemen are ob- tested of the Idea that Mr. Roosevelt could ir iin that it vnttiA fUrttt.r add to the humiliation of President JXaU to hTe tt, predecessor come back and di.pUee him a the White House.

Tbey have a secondary notion tbat it should be accomplished in a wsy that would bring tbe greatest pos- sioie numiuetion to tee President. Koose- reel peeved already that tbe Roosevelt senti ment has flamed up again. They think Roosevelt should stick to his work to keep out of the way of the Wisconsin simoon.

The spokesman of this faction of upllfters and rolitlca! Iconoclasts Is Mr. Houser. who has undertaken to nominate Mr. La Follette In the Jnne convention. "S'Mtor La FoUette acd bis frler.ds have no quarrel with Theodore Roosevelt," he said last night.

"There will be no clash between La Follette and Roosevelt sentiment In any state In selecting delegates to tbe Republicsa national convention. "La Follette'a campaign has set Ohio on fire.

He will arrive at 4:15 o'clock over the Michigan Central and will go at once to the La Salle hotel, where friends will give him a banquet before going to Orchestra hall for the first big meeting of the Illinois campaign. Walter Clyde Jones will preside at this meeting. Some trepidation Is entertained by the local leaders lest another riot break out in the Orchestra hall meeting tonight.

The last demonstration held In this hall developed an Incipient riot when Rudolph Patterson, former stats food commissioner of Illinois. Interrupted Senator Coe I.

Unusual precautions have been taken to suppress Mr. Patterson tonight if he should attempt to break loose. The managers of the meeting will have policemen on band L. 1 a to hustle Patterson out Into the cold and dreary sad lonesome world In the event of his climbing on the bsrk of a seat and Interrupting the Wisconsin man. Mr.

Patterson, meanwhile, has reduced his burning thoughts on La Follette to writing. He sent out an open letter last night in which be repeats tho Interrogatories fired at Senator Crawford. He asks the following seven questions: "Is it not a fact tbat your associate United States Senstor from 1 Wisconsin, the Hon.

Tho resolutions also commended the action of the business men.

The meeting which, was held In the headquarters of. the Lincoln Protective League of Illinois, at 120 West Randolph street, waa the most enthusiastic gathering of Republicans from all parts of the city for years. Rousing speeches were made by many of the leaders present, and the large crowd by Its unanimous adoption of the resolutions gave emphatic indorsement of the challenge to the Busse-Deneen-Pease party wreckers. E.

J. Msgerstsdt. who presided, started the enthusiasm by denouncing the action of the county central committee and declared its call for a county convention was the biggest farce ever perpetrated. He said the ticket to be presented to the so-called convention already had been made up and waa simply another product of the "kitchen caucus." This slate. Mr.

Magerstadt declared, would be shoved through the convention Just as it came from the 'hopper of tbe "kitchen cabinet." William Hale Thompson, former Congressman Fred Lundln. Senator William Lorlmer, Dr. A. J. Carey, William Stocker.

M. Gren-span and others helped arouse tbe old-ime Republican enthuslaim. Mr. Thompson declared the Lincoln league had been organized to protect the Republican party from the conspiracy which resulted in the enactment of tbe primary law. "Under the law." said Mr.

Thompson, "any man can offer himself as a candidate for office on the Republican ticket, whether he believes In the principles of the party or not. Take, for Instance. W. Clyde Jones, who Is a randidate for tbe nomination for Governor on tbe Insurgent ticket. He la willing to be a Republican nominee, yet be is a champion of the 'initiative and a doctrine that Is absolutely socialistic and Is no more a part of Republican principles than anarchy.

Former Concrr-f s-man Lundln again assailed the Busse-Deneen type of Republican- Ism, declaring thst this combination durlnr rclgn over the affairs of the party succeeded In almost destroying Republics n-j ism In Cook county.

He pointed to the splendid victories the party achieved during a than twontw ar A w. defeat suffered at the recent county election solely through the traitorous actions of the clique ruled by the Busse-Deneen combination and the dictating "trust press." "When the members of this combination voted down and repudiated the principles of Republicanism at a meeting of the county central committee two weeks ago," declared Mr. Lnndln. "they served notice to Repub- llcsns that ther no longer were a part of the party, but bad become associated with the Socialistic insurgents."
