TO REPRESENT THIS DISTRICT
Kenosha Man Named as Delegate to
Convention to be Held in Chicago at
Which New Roosevelt Party Will be
Formally Launched Next Month.

James Cavanagh, well known Keno
sha attorney has been named as one
of the Wisconsin delegates to the con-
vention of the Progressive party to be

made on Monday afternoon by Henry
Cochems and Charles K. Lush, the pro-
visional committee Of the "Bu1l
Moose party, and it is understood
that the delegates so named will be
seated in the Chicago convention.
There was no call for state conven-
ton in Wisconsin, but the Roosevelt
men were DESTROYS Of having Wiscon-
sin represented at the convention and
the provisional committee was named
by the leaders of the movement to
select delegates to represent the vari-
Gus districts in the state. Under the
call for the convention Wisconsin is
entitled to thirteen delegates and the
full quota has been named.
Attorney Cavanagh who will repre-
sent the first district in the conven-
ton has been active in politics in
other years, and he has been one of
the most active supporters of the
Roosevelt candidacy. Mr.. Cavanagh
has not been associated with the Pro.
gressive movement in Wisconsin, but
has been a representative Of the con-
servative element of the Republican
party. His support of Roosevelt has
been very outspoken and he is expect
ed to be leader in the Wisconsin del.
egation at the Chicago convention.

Accompanying the list Of delegates
is a circular addressed to the voters
of Wisconsin which says:
1T is only when men are free and
unbound by machine party ligatures
that there can be a full representation
of the popular will, although the cohe-
sion of party may be necessary to
make this will operative.
With new will, a new party NAV
be necessary to achieve results, by
reason of subversion of the old party
to principles counter to the public will.
10 give expression to the progressive
will in accordance with certain funda-
mental principles of the Republican
party, convention will be held in
Chicago on Aug to nominate a Pro-
gressive Republican candidate for the
and popular progressive
platform
Associated with this movement are
all progressives of the country-out-
side of Wisconsin. In spite of an
agreement on principles clash of per-
sonality has cut Wisconsin off from an
onward and upward movement which
was born on her soil and nutured by
her legislation.
TO give to the voters of Wisconsin
equal suffrage with the voters of other
states it is essential that the parent
state of the progressive movement
should be represented in the national
progressive convention. To restrict
the Wisconsin progressive to a choice
between Republican reactionarv
with a stolen nomination and a Demo-
cratic candidate of personal purity but
questionable affiliations, is not in full
accord with either the theory or prac-
tice of representative government.
"To give the progressive voters of
this state the same equality of oppor-
tunity afforded to other states we
have taken the steps necessary to have
Wisconsin accorded her just represen-
tation in the first convention of the ma
tional progressive party.
Those who clalnor for regularity.
we point out that regularity is an at
tribute OF maturity; new born con-
dition precludes regularity, which is in
itself the problem of the age
