SPEECH LAUDS / R.
Says Progressive Party APP
peaIs to Women in Second
ing CoIoneI's Nomination.

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-The speech OF
in seconding the nomination ,ot
Colonel Roosevelt. was as follows:
Measures of industrial ameliora-
ton, demands for social justice, long
discussed by small groups in charity
conferences and economic associa-
tons, have here been considered in a
great national convention, and are at
last thrust into the stern arena of
political action.
"A great party has pledged itself
to the protection of children. to the
care of the aged, to the relief of over
worked girls, to the safeguarding of
humane undertakings, it is inevitable
that such a party should appeal to
women, should seek to draw upon
the great reservoir of their moral
energy. so long undesired and I'M
utilized in practical politics-one is
the corollary of the other a program
ofehuman welfare, the necessity for
women's participation.
I'VE ratify this platform not only

convictions and formulates our high
hopes, but because it pulls upon our
faculties and calls US to definite ac-
ton. We find it a prophecy that
democracy shall be actually real
lied until no group of our people
certainly not 0 900, 900 of them so sadly
in need of reassurance-shall fail to
bear the responsibilities of self-gov-
eminent and that no class of evils
shall lie beyond redress.
The new party has become the
American exponent of a worldwide
movement toward more just social
conditions. a movement which the
United States, tagging behind other
great nations, has been unaccount-
ably slow to embody in political ac-
ton.
"I second the nomination of Theo-
dore Roosevelt because he is one of
the few men in our public life who
has been responsive to the social ap-
peal and who has caught the signlfi-
canoe of the modern movement. Be-
cause of that, because the program
will require "A leader of invincible
courage. of open mind, of democratic
sympathies. one endowed with power
to interpret the common man and to
identify himself with the common
lot, l heartily second the nominal
ton"

SHE VOTES TWICE FOR
TWO ABSENT FRIENDS

STRATFORD, Conn, Aug. Sat a
meeting here last night to consider an
addition to the Washington school,
about thirty women came to vote,
headed by Mrs. Rosamond Winton,
leader of the suffragettes.
Mrs. Winton favored an appropria-
ton. After her speech the balloting
commenced. The tellers notified Judge
Charles H. Peck, who was presiding,
that some one had dropped in three
ballots folded together. Judge Peck
remarked appropriately on the virtues
of honesty and righteousness, ever in
voting, and ordered a second ballot.
Again the tellers found the three
ballots. Mrs. Winton smilingly in
formed the meeting that she had put
in three ballots each time because
two dear lady friends had been un-
able to come. Her Indignation was
noticeable when they were thrown
out.

nestle supply, water power and tbs
prevention of floods.
The Panama canal. built and paid
for BY the American people, must be
used primarily for their benefit. WI
demand that the canal shall be sc
operated as to break the transporta-
ton monopoly now held and mis-
used by the transcontinental rail
roads by maintaining sea competition
with them; that ships directly or in
directly owned or controlled by
American railroad corporations shall
not be permitted to use the canal,
and that American ships engaged in
coastwise trade shall pay no tolls.
Tariff Revision.
We believe in a protective tariff
which shall ~equalize conditions OF
competition between the United
States and foreign countries, both for
the farmer and the manufactures,
and which shall maintain for labor
an adequate standard of living. Fair
dealing toward the people requires
an immediate downward revision OF
those schedules wherein duties are
shown to be unjust or excessive.
We pledge ourselves to the estah-
lishment of a non-partisan scientific
tariff commission. We condemn the
Payne-Aldrich bill as unjust to the
people.
The Republican organization is IN
the hands Of those who' have broken
and cannot again be trusted to keep
the promise of necessary downward
revision. { The Democratic party IS
committed to the destruction of the
protective system through a tariff for
venue only, a policy which would
inevitably produce widespread indus
trial and commercial disaster. We
demand the immediate repeal of the
Canadian reciprocity act.
Inheritance and Income Taxes.
We believe in a graduated inheri-
lance tax ' 5 and pledge our
party to enact such a Federal law as
will tax large inheritances, returning
to the States an equitable percentage
of all amounts collected. We favor
ratification of the pending amend
ment to the constitution giving the
government power to levy an income
tax.
We pledge the party to use its best
endeavors to substitute judicial and
other peaceful means of settling in
ternational differences.
We favor an international agree
ment for the limitation of naval
forces. Pending such an agreement,
and as the best e of preserving
peace, We pledge ourselves to main
tain for the present the policy of
building two battleships a year.
We pledge our party to protect the
rights of American citizenship at
home and abroad.
Through the establishment of In

I. R. MEN, ON WAY
HOME, PLAN FIGHT
To Wage Greatest Campaign
Progressives Have Ever Con-
Quoted in Jersey.
BY LESLIE Il. FORT.

CHICAGO. Aug. 7.-Enthused with
the great speeches delivered in the
closing hours of the first convention
of the Progressive party the New
Jerseymen, who took an active part
in the gathering, left here late last
night on a special car. They will
arrive home via the Pennsylvania
Railroad Friday morning.
Before leaving the plans for the
campaign in the State were infor-
mally discussed. 1t was decided by
former Governor Fort, after a con-
ference with a dozen men of the
delegation, to call the State commit
tee together next Tuesday afternoon
at Trenton to arrange to make h
greatest fight which Progress1ves
have ever made in the State.
The campaign will go into every
county and there will be candidates
for, practically every office that will
be in the gift of the people this fall
Authority for calling the committee
was given Mr.. Fort by the recent
Asbury Park convention. No man

When they left there was not a
man in the party who did not
express himself as satisfied hat with
the two fighters chosen today, and
the splendid reports received from
other States, Mr.. Roosevelt. they say,
has more than an even chance to win
the election.
Both Colonel Roosevelt and Cover
nor Johnson will campaign in New
Jersey. This is assured, and Cover
nor Johnson told the Jerseymen last
night that he looked forward with
pleasure to coming to them later in
the campaign and renewing acquaint-

Words Express Confidence in
People and Belief in Their
Loyalty.

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-The acceptance
speeches of Theodore Roosevelt and
Hiram w. johnson, following their
nomination by the convention OF
Progressives, were short. That of
Colonel Roosevelt was as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and men and
women who in this convention repre-
sent the high and honest purposes of
the people of all our country: /
come forward to thank you from my
heart for the honor you have con-
ferred upon me; to say that, of
course, / accept; that l hold it-and
now I am measuring my words-l

and known much of life-and l hold
1t by far the greatest honor and the
greatest opportunity that has ever
come to me to be called by you to
the leadership for the time being of
this great movement in the interests
of the American people.
And, friends, / wish now to say
how deeply sensitive I am to the way
in which the nomination has come to
me and to tell those who proposed
and seconded my nomination that [
appreciate to the full the signih-
canoe of having such mel and such

having given me the running-mate
whom it has given.

people to sweep away old abuses, to
build a new and nobler common
Wealth.
This declaration is our covenant
with the people. and we hereby bind
the party and its candidates In State
and nation to the pledges made here
in.
In particular. the party declares for
direct primaries for the nomination of
State and national officers, for nation
wide preferential primaries for candi-
dates for the presidency, for the di-
rect election of United States sena-
tors by the people; and we urge on
the States the policy of the short bal
lot with responsibility to the people
secured by initiative, referendum and
recall.
State and Nation.
The Progressive party, believing
that a free people should have the
power from time to time to amend
their fundamental law so as to adapt
it progressively to the changing needs,
of the people, pledges itself to provide
a more easy and expeditions method
of amending the fundamental consti-
tuition.
Up to the limit of the Constitution
and later by amendment of the Con-
stititution if found necessary we ad-
vocate bringing under effective ma
tional jurisdiction those problems
which have expanded beyond reach of
the individual States.
1t is as grotesque as it is intoler-
able that the several States should by
unequal laws in matter Of common
concern become competing CONNER
cial agencies, barter the lives of their
children, the health of their women
and the safety and well-being OF their
working people for the profit of their
financial interests.
