THE PROGRESSIVE CONyEN-
TI0N.
For months The Transcript has
given It's support 10 the National
Progressive movement. and II u
our intention tO continue this
course throughout the campaign.
But we wish 10 say most emphaii-
cally that The Transcript win not
support the movement now being
discussed for full Progressive
state ticket. I'm our Judgment The
men responsible for this move
ment are throwing away their op-
pormnlty TO carry the staie for the
National Progressive ticket In N0-
Yember.
We have In this community q
large number Of Republicans who
will vote for Theodore Roosevelt.
but these same men are loud In
their protest against the State
ticket proposition. aud should II
he named next Wednesday, there
may he a general revolt against
the whole moyement-both Ma
tlonaI and State.
There are many Republicans In
New Castle County who viii not
cast their votes for Wflllam
Howard Taft, but In this number
are hundreds who are loyal TO the
Republican party, and VIII not
ioln In an attempt 10 defeat The
Republican State ticket
We slncerely hope that those
who are leading the fight for this
ticket IN the State vdll not per,
II nit their personal likes or de,
likes 10 rDn away with their bet
ter judgments; but give the mat
ter thorough consideration. and
