CHICAGO, June 20--Conflicting re-
ports come from Roosevelt headquar- ters; today that Col Theodore Roose- velt had released his_ delegates from all obligations to vote for him.
At 11.50 the Colonel issued a
statement which was variously inter- preted. It said "The time has come when I
feel _that I must make certain state- ments not only to the. honestly elec- ted nlcnibers ol the Republican Nation- al Convention but to the rank and file of the party and the honest people of the entire nntlon. I went into the iight for great principles. At this moment I can only serve theserprinci- ples by continuing to bear the perso- nal responsibility which their advoc- acv has brought me.”
Regis H. Post, of Port Rico, enr-
lier had announced that Col Roose- velt had released ‘his delegates bu,~t would remain in the race and this statement is so interpreted.
C. K: Davis, of the Roosevelt head-
LIUB-‘I‘t€1_'B. however, said he was nu- thorlzed bv the Colonel to say that the release of ithe delegates was an absolutely -false report. »

tinued rains that have visited Aroos- took county during the past three weeks will curtail to a certain de- gree thc potato crop in this section.
Up to n lcw weeks ago practically
90 per cent of the scason's planting had been completed, and this was done when seed was selling at from $3 to $4 8, barrel. All the seed that was put in on well draiied land is coming along in fine shape; but where seed was planted on low ground and did not get started previous to the wet weather, it will be a total loss and must be planted over or used for other purposes.
One advantage which those will
have who will rcplant is that seed will cost only about n quarter ns much as earlier in the season, ns it is now worth only $1 a barrel. The cost of seed is quite an item, as. it takes from six to eight barrels of stock to plnnt an acre. The fertiliz- 'er will in most cases be available for the replauted-crop. iiieplautlng can
