 George E. Winton read a letter which he sent to Roosevelt. The text or this letter will be found on page g.
 With last nights meeting stimu- .lating activity the Bull Moose sym pathizers, swung into working line to- day and report is made by the corll- rlittee on permanent organization that many additional names have been secured today. One man who is a Roosevelt adinirer claims to have 200 names already put down o1i paper, which will be turned o'ter to the committee. <. Many of those who attended Hast nights meeting were busy today gathering signatures to pledges of support to the Progressive party movement.
 Pledges for the party will be put in printed form immediately and will be in readiness for distribution to- morrow, among those who will cir culate them Many calls have been made to the Committee for the peti- tior1s, indicating that there is an en- thusiastic response to the call for workers.
 There is. some speculation as to who will be selected as leader for the movement, now that an organization is assured, and many names have been put forward John H. Flood as a man who would be of material help. He is one of those interested in the movement and ready to chip in all the help possible. MT. Flood is business man, well known local ly and the fact that he hasn't in the past become tainted with local poli- tics, comments him to the. choice, E said one of the leaders today.
 The name of John Taylor, chair man of the Audit committee, is strongly advocated. Fred w. Towne's name is likewise spoken of. Any one of these gentlemen would make, good leaders, said the committee man.
 It is probable that instead of mak- ing any one man shoulder the re- responsibilities of leadership, an execu- tive committee will be elected from the floor, this executive committee to be merely a working body to carry out the desires of the organization as these desires are expressed in open meetings. This matter will be talked over at the meeting of the commit tee on permanent organization to- night.
