NEW YORK. July 8.-Reaf1rming
~Thou shalt not steal" as one OF the
cardinal principles Of this campaign,
the national progressive provisional
committee has issued the formal
eall for the convention at which 1t is
planned to name Theodore Roosevelt
!. once again for President.
Chicago is the place and August 5
the date. Here is what Manager Jo-
eeph M. Dixon described as the lat
est declaration of independence"
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 organiza-
tions 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
movement on non-sectional lines, so
that the people may be served in sim
cerity and truth by an organization
unfettered by obligation to conflict
ing interests;
fright of the People to Rule"
.sWho believe in the right and ca
pacity of the people to rule them
selves, and effectively to control all
the agencies of their government. and
who hold that only through social in
dustrial Justice thus secured. can
honest property find permanent pro-
lection;
"Who believe that government by
the few tends to become, and has in
fact 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. 80 as to insure Neir being
used in the interest of the whole
people, legislation which shall pro-
mote prosperity and at the same time
secure the better and more equitable
diffusion of prosperity; legislation
which shall promote the economic
well being of the honest farmer. wage
worker, professional man and busi-
ness man alike, but which shall at the
narne time strike in efficient fashion
land not merely pretend to strike
at the roots of providing in the world
Of industry less than in the world of
politics;
Three New Jersey sigpers.
.Who believe that only this type
Of wise Industrial evolution will avert
Industrial revolution;
who believe that wholesome party
government can come only IL there is
~holesome party management in a
opirit 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
n call is hereby issued by the provi-
eibnaI committee under the resolution
az the massmeeting held in Chicago

State a number of delegates whose
votes in the convention shall count
for as many votes as the State shall
