Convention.

Joseph L. Lewisohn, delegate TO the

a member OF the platform committee ol
That convention. has just returned from
tne cast enthusiastic over the prospects
of Roosevelt landslide throughout Tho
country. Mr., Lewlsohn said last night
When left Salt Lake City for the
convention, | felt that our chances of
success In the present campaign wero
remote, but i am now decidedly OF
the opinion that the Progressive par
~ is morally certain OF success at
the poils In November. This con-
clusion has been reached only after
careful observation in various parts
OF the country and conference with
state In tile Union, Both cast and
west it Is conceded by practically
everyone, except by federal office
holders. that President Taft is vir-
tually ANONYMOUSLY defeated now
and that the real contest is between
Colonel Roosevelt and Governor Will
son. with the Colonel steadily gain
ing ground
The strength of the new movement
in the south is scarcely realized by
most people. All OF the southern
delegates that became acquainted
with. were thoroughly representative
men. and most of them were
formerly Democrats. A good exam
pie was Colonel Colfax, the bearer of
an illustrous name. who was chair
man OF the Virginia delegation, In
deed, generally among the delegates,
there were many lifelong Democrats.
/ believe that | am we'll within the
facts In saying that We are almost
certain to carry North Carolina and
Tennessee and probably we shall
carry Virginia and louisiana
AS one who attended the conVcn-
ton and labored there AT two all
night sessions OF the platform COM
mittee, I fall to comprehend how our
opponents can assert that the Pro-
gressive party Is a one-man affair,
The personnel, the enthusiasm and the
high purpose Of the delegates i'm
pressed our bitterest enemies with the
fact that the new movement is the
inevitable result of American pollti-
col and economic conditions, In
all fields of human endeavor-in re-
art and In state craft-there are,
and always have been, those who be- a
live In standing still and others who
believe in progress
For years past In this country,
there has been no real division along
national lines. The Progressive par
ty Is gathering together, under one
standard. the vast majority OF the
American people who believe In pro-
gress I'm politics and economics, who
believe in having our laws keep pace
with the requirements of American
life. 1t comes direct from the people
or without Colonel Roosevelt. But
it Is fortunate indeed, in possessing
the leadership Of such high minded
patriots and indomitable gentle
men as Colonel Roosevelt and Gov
ernor Johnson.
