is still a progressive" the colonel and
the newspaper men covering his pres
ent trip, received the first big batch
of American newspapers upon arrival
here. A glance through these has
suftlced to show that the agitation
now on back home is over the question
OF whether Colonel Roosevelt will
upon his return to the states, ally
himself with the 'progressiyes" or the
reactionaries. In the first place, II
can be stated positively that Colonel
Roosevelt has not promised to indorse
President Taft or his administration
and has not directly or indirectly. in
confidence or otherwise, indorsed or in
any way commented upon the recently
enacted Cannon-Aldrich tariff law In
the second place, Roosevelt has not
promised any one assistance in the
coming congressional election, and has
given no intimation of any intention
TO work for regular party candidates
and finally. he has not indulged in any
criticism of Taft or the administration
Colonel Roosevelt has an intense
feeling that having been honored by
the highest gift in the hands of the
American people, he owes them debt
of loyal and unseltish service, which
tinued fight for these principals which
have come TO be termed progressive -
These policies include the regulation
OF child labor and broadly stand as
the advocacy of personal rights as
opposed to property rights.
