second session Of Its convention In the

The convention proper was made up
OF about 1000 delegates and alternates
and their friends from every State and
Territory. The remainder OF tho gigAn-
tic assemblage comprised personal fol-
lowers Of Roosevelt in many States and
adherents Of the Progressive cause as
illustrated and illuminated by Roose-
welt and the men who surround him
and who have brought about the for
nation Of the new party.
1t was q great assemblage of en-
thusiasts. 1t Is safe to say that the
vast majority had been Republican. Yet
on all sides were Democrats and inde-

mass of voters and would be voters who
are opposed to the two old parties.
