SENATOR DIXON ISSUES SUM-
MONS FOR CONVENTION AT
CHICAGO AUGUST 5.
40 STATES ARE REPRESENTED
Statement Of National Progressive Pro-
vIslonaI Committee Is Described as
Declaration Of Independence
Number of Delegates Reduced.

New York, July 9.-The National
Progressive provisional committee, re-
affirming Thou Shalt Not Steal" as
one Of the cardinal principles Of this
campaign, issued Sunday the formal
call for the convention at which 1t is
planned to name Theodore Roosevelt
once again for president.
Chicago is the place and August 8
the date.
ITO the people Of the United States
without regard to past political differ
ences, who through repeated betray-
ais, realize that today the power OF
the crooked political bosses and OF
the privileged classes behind them Is
so strong In the two old party organi-
cations that no helpful movement In
the real interests of our country can
come out of either;
who believe that the time has
come for a national progressive move
ment--a nationwide movement-on
non-sectional lines, so that the people
may be served in sincerity and truth
by an organization unfettered by OBJ
legation to conflicting interests;
Who believe y the right and ca
pactty Of the people to rule them
selves, and effectively to control all
the agencies of their government, and
who hold that only through social and
Industrial justice, thus secured, can
honest property find permanent pro
lection;
who believe that government by
The few tends to become, and has In
TACT become, government by the sor-
did influences that control the few;
who believe that only through the
movement proposed can we obtain In
the nation and the several states the
legislation demanded by the modern
Industrial evolution; legislation which
shall favor honest business and yet
control the great agencies of modern
business so as to insure their being
used in the interest OF the whole peo-
Pile; legislation which shall promote
prosperity and at the same time Sc
cure the better and more equitable
diffusion Of prosperity; legislation
which shall promote the economic
we'll being of the honest farmer, wage
worker, professional man and bust
ness man alike.
Who believe that emily this type OF
wise industrial evolution will avert in
dustrial revolution;
who believe that wholesome party
government can come only IL there is
wholesome party management In q
| spirit Of service to the whole country
and who hold that the commandment
| delivered at Sinai, Thou Shalt Not
Steal applies to politics as well as
/ to business.
ITO all in accord with these views
call is hereby issued by the pro
visional committee under the resolu
| ton of the mass meeting held in Chi
Ncago on June % last, to send from
each state a number Of delegates
| whose votes in the convention shall
count for as many votes as the state
shall have senators and representa-
/ tives in congress to meet In conven
ton at Chicago on the 9th day OF Au
gust, 1912. for the purpose OF nom
mating candidates to be supporte'
for the positions Of president ant
vice-president of the United States"

TAD Of society women in London and
some other cities to give tiny bits of
the metal as Christmas presents.
These cost from SO to $50, although
the speck Of radium was hardly large

It was mounted in a spinthariscope,
