Rooseve1t's Message
To Io,va Progressives

Des Moines, July 25.-The following
telegram from Colonel Roosevelt to
Iowa progressives was read at the state
convention Wednesday:
Thru you I wish to extend my very
heartiest greetings to the progressive
convention. There is not state In
this union to which I would rather trust
more than 1 would to Iowa. fight like
this. We stand for principles to which
Iowa has always been faithful when
ever her people have had fair chance
Of expressing their opinions. The Chi
cago republican convention was or
ganized by fraud. The nomination OF
Taft was a fraudulent nomination.
Every action taken by the convention
was taken against the expressed wish
of the overwhelming majority OF the
republican party. 1t represents nothing
whatever but the success of the Barnes.

cheating and overriding the rank and
file of the republican party. Not only
has the ticket thus nominated no claim
to the support Of any honest republican
but hold 1t to be the bound and duty
Of every man who believes in decencF
and honesty and who upholds the COM

motion and perpetuation of those pr1n-
ciples Of political Justice and plain
honesty In the conduct OF public ana1rs
which lie at the foundation OF all gov
eminent by and for the people. We
believe in political freedom and equal
ity, and We hereby pledge ourselves TO
the wholesome doctrine that the rights
OF all are superior to the demands OF
the few. and that human rights should
take precedence over property rights.
Facing National Crisis.
That the time has come for all be-
levers in republican institutions to act
together and promptly If their faith Is
to have fruition. A crisis was forced
upon the American people by the Chi
cago convention in June, which dis
closed the inherent evil of the old boss
ruled and committee controlled con-
vention system. II is a matter Of rec
ord that in the campaign which pre-
ceder that convention in substantially
every case wherever the voters had OPP
portunity they declared themselves
overwhelmingly against the candidate
who ha6 been selected for them by the
Bosses and for a candidate who stands
unreservedly for progressive prin-
ciples: yet a small group of these
bosses by a series OF political misde-
-neanors and crimes made possible by
the survival Of bad political sys-
tenn, reversed the will OF the people

we adop: AS our expression Of his
achievements in the past, the following
from the republican national platform
Of 1908.
In this greatest era of American
advancement the republican party has
reached its highest service under the
leadership Of Theodore Roosevelt. His
administration is an epoch in Ameri-
can history In no other period since
national sovereignty was won under
Washington. or preserved under Lin
coin, has there been such mighty pro-
gress in those ideals Of government
which make for justice. equality, and
fair dealing among men. The highest
aspirations Of the American people
have found q voice. Their most exalted
servant represents the best aims and
worthiest purposes of all his country
men. American manhood has beer
lifted to a nobler sense of duty and OBJ
legation. Conscience and courage In
public station. and higher standards OF
RICH. and wrong in private life have
become cardinal principles of politica
faith: capital and labor have beer
brought into closer relations OF con.
fidence and interdependence: and the
abuse Of wealth. the tyranny Of power
and all the evils Of privilege and ia
voritism have been put to scorn by the
simple. manly virtues Of justice and
fair play.
These are the achievements thai
will make Theodore Roosevelt his place
in history. but more than all else the

VISITING TEAM
KELLY WAS ON MOUND AND
WAS INVINcIeLE AFTER THE
FIRST INNING.

The Simpsons of New Orleans were
the attraction at Maxent park yester-
day, and were easily taken into camp
by the locals, the score being 8 to 2.
Kelly was on the mound for the To-
calls and outside Of the first inning
was invincible. Fucich, the visiting
pitcher, on the contrary, was wild and
was hit freely, while his support could
have been improved upon to consid-
cradle extent. They would probably
play better game Of ball IL they ex-
pended less energy via the lower jaw
route, their senseless kicking disgust
ing most of the spectators.
The visitors started out like world
heaters in the first inning. but seem
ed to lose all their energy in this pc
Rod. and for the remainder of the
game the locals had 1t all their own
way. Renicke, the first batter to face
Kelly, hit to Roach, who fumbled.
Renicke taking first. Persons hit to
left and Renicke went to third. Per-
sons stole second Larkins hit past
Graham, but the ball hit Persons in
the line, thereby preventing a score,
and Persons was called out for being
hit by a batted ball. Hayes struck
out, but Sellinger hit safe, scoring
both Renicke and Larkins This was
the sum total Of their efforts.
Pensacola did not score until the
thirdN when an error, a hit batsman,
four successive singles, another error,
a fielder's choice that failed and a
base on balls netted the locals sever
runs. The entire team batted around
in this inning. Kelly, Graham and
Roach facing the pitcher twice. Pen
sacola's last run came In the fourth,
the result Of a hit, steal, error and
sacrifice ny.
A much better game is expected to-
day, as the visitors will have become
accustomed to the diamond, which, to
some extent. is responsible for their
poor showing.
