The Movement Already As.
suming Large Proportions

row Wilson thinks the young man IS
going to play more important part
In the election in November than he
ever did before.
The progressive end of the Demo.
cratic party is honeycombed with men
under 40 years of age. Dudley Field
Malone, son-in.law of Senator James
A. O'Gorman of New York, has been
appointed National Chairman Of the
Young Mems Woodrow Wilson move
ment. Headquarters have been opened
at Room ia, Fifth Avenue Building,
New York City, and John II. Rafter is
National Secretary.
Mr.. Malone, who has gained coun'
try-wide reputation as an orator, Is
making q tour of the middle West.
The plans call for the organizing OF
more than two score Young Mems
Clubs in New York state alone.
The following statement of Mr.. Ma
lone sets forth the lea of the Young
Mems movement:
"We are sounding call to the
young men of the country to stand
and fight with Woodrow Wilson. We
are organizing Young Mems Wilson
Clubs throughout the nation. Morgan
Davies has opened headquarters at
Chicago and is canvassing the West.
Senator Frank Quigley, Of Massachu-
sets, is in charge of New England,
and Lee Douglass, Of Nashville, Ten
nessee, Is Chairman for the Southern
States. We shall personally supervise
the remaining states from the New
York headquarters.
Enthusiastic support meets us ev
erywhere. Over fifty thousand young
men have already volunteered their
services for this fight. Woodrow VIII
son has captured the young men OF to-
day. He Is a fighter and a leader. He
understands the schemes by which the
Industrial and political combinations
cOrruptly Obstruct the door Of oppOr
tunity, and he can hit hard enough to
clear the obstructed way.
Young men do not want Presiden,
Taft. He ratified the war-drum foul
years ago and We assembled to fight
only to learn that he intended to sur
| render.
"We do not want Roosevelt. We
want a man of truth. No man In
America can stand with Cannon ant
Aldrich for seven years without a sin
gle protest against their blockade o
tariff reform and now rightly claim
that he hates the bosses. The figh
against these national bosses was no
won until Roosevelt went to Africa
He Is a shrewd politician, but yount
men do not want shrewd politicians
They want true leader, big enough
In heart, conscience and brain to rep
resent and guide ninety million peo
Pile We want a genuine progressive
like Woodrow Wilson.
1--WE are calling for volunteers. be
