.'Jnder these conditions you alone
deserve the support Of true progress

voting and working for your election,
since the candidate Of the republican

serves to divide our progressive

the deepest qualification and encour.
asement. The action you and your as

"We have grown to look for leader

are waking up in the east.
I'm this district or In any other dis
trict the only way in which the repub-
lican party can show itself true to
Abraham Lincoln is to support tho pro-
9ressive party.
"Penrose, Barnes and your own Vic
tor Rosewater were engaged at the
Chicago convention in scuttling the
republican ship. They cared not bit
for the principles of the party. All
they wanted was to accept the power
for their own purpose and IL they
could not keep 1t without running the
party they we're glad to ruin the party.
"The bosses know that Mr.. Taft is
a dead cock in the pit and they
are turning to Mr.. Wilson. will
admit that the bosses don't like me.
What's more will make them not
like me some more before l am

We carried Nebraska and Victor Rose
water cast the vote of Nebraska

ton, Mr.. Rosewater allowed the nine
ty contested delegates to vote on
each others right to seats.
How long would you have crtnin-

tentiary are no worse offenders than
Mr. Rosewater and his allies for the

Chicago, Sept. 20.-Woodrow Wilson
and Colonel Roosevelt are the targets
Of attack in the announcement that
Andrew p. Kelly, member OF the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers
and Firemen, and q former democrat,
has taken the stump for President
Taft Mr.. Kelly gives out an inter.
view setting forth that he is opposed
to Governor Wilson on account OF his
alleged attitude toward trade unions
and against Colonel Roosevelt because
of his alleged indifference to the In
terests Of organized labor.
Il was one Of the thirty-eight inter.
national officers" said Mr.. Kelly
who made a formal call upon Presi'
dent Roosevelt in April, 1908, to ask
his good offices in behalf OF labor
legislation, which was much desired
and most Of which we have since
secured under President Taft. Mr..
Roosevelt told us it was a matter with
which he had nothing to do, and that
II we wanted legislation we must go
to congress.
"The interview showed utter lack
of sympathy with us. Other facts IN
the record of Mr.. Roosevelt are well
known to organized labor. OF course,
Mr., Wilson's utterances put him out
of the running with the workingman.
Mr.. Kelly says he has made special
study of President Taft's decisions
while on the bench and asserts the
president has done more than any
other one man to place the rights OF
labor on a firm basis.
1T was the decision given by Judge
Taft in the Cincinnati, New Orleans
and Texas Pacific case" said Mr.
Kelly, (which afforded Judge Adams
a foundation for dissolving the inJunc'
tion temporarily granted the Wabash
railroad in st. Louis at the time OF
labor troubles In that city some years
ago."
