Colonel Roosevelt supplemented the

With telegram to William Allen
White, of Kansas, in which he said:
Roosevet's New appeal.
,7be titular national Republican
marty today is not the party of the
Republican voters; it is not the party
Of Abraham Lincoln, but purely the
party of Messrs. Barnes. Penrose, Gug-
genheim and company, who have stol-
en- the doorpate with the name, but
have no moral right to the name or
anything else.
our appeal nationally is. of course,
to all men of progressive principles,
regardless of past party differences. The
action locally must be guided by the
needs of the local situation.
In any state where there is no real
Republican party l am entirely content
that the local organization should call
itself by the title of Progressive Demo-
81 cratic. if that is the local desire and
if they support the national progress
sive electors.
Where as in New York, New Mexico
and Colorado, the local organizations
of both the Republican and Democratic
parties are hopelessly boss ridden and
reactionary, then we must have a
straight progressive ticket from top to
bottom Independent of both the old
parties.
Where as | understand to be the
case in Kansas, South Dakota, Califor-
MIA and other states. the local Repub
d lean organization is progressive and
represents the principles for which we
stand l hope that they will be able to
make the fight locally>for good govern
ment in whatever effective organiza-
tons they have.
Expects Republican Support.
Il feel that this year in the pro-
gressiye Republican states we should
s have the support of the organization
itself Moreover, l feel that every
Where / have right to expect the sup
q port of the entire rank and file Of the
d Republican party.
vention represented nothing but the
successful cheating and stealing of the
BOSSES at the expense of the honest
and overwhelming majority OF the Re
publican rank and file. l hold that
every honest Republican who.is true to
Lncoln's memory and principles must
vote with us.
Under such conditions the entire To-
cal Republican organization in a state
like Kansas can rightly continue as
such and yet is in duty bound loyal
TO support the National Progressive
electors, OF course, ! feel that in ev-
cry such Progressive Republican state
Yne Progressive Republican candidates
lor any office should openly support
me National Progressive electors and
90 IN the same column on the ticket
with them"
Roosevelt Plan on Tickets.
Here is Colonel Roosevelt's program
lor making his ticket the regular Re
publican ticket in states where the
progressive Republicans are in con-
troll
IN such states as Taft controlled the
ehtlons or primaries the president
- entitled to have the names of his
GUINNESS for electors on the ballot in
Vie republican party column.
IA such states as Roosevelt carried
'ne conventions or primaries he is en-
u'led to have his electors on the ballot
N me regular Republican column
Wherever Roosevelt carried the state
lay must nominate electors by petit
uon Wherever Taft won Roosevelt
"lLI name his electors by petition
mat there may he no confusion
aHohg voters as to what ticket they
are supporting and in which column
are voting the Roosevelt manag-
F's purpose TO have the Roosevelt coll
