The following resolutions were sub

part they read as follows:
The Progressive party of Chelan
county, in mass meeting assembled de-
clares its boundless faith in the integ-
rity, patriotism and clearsighted lead
ership Of that champion of the right Of
the plain people to have full share
in the selection of a candidate for
president of the United States, the
man who has ever stood up for better
citizenship, clean politics, and higher
standard OF living; the man who had
the moral courage to decline to sit at
table with corrupt United States SEN

he invited an honest and distinguished
colored man to sit at his own table.
We honor ourselves most when we do
honor to him who had the magnificent
courage to discharge from the army

soldiers for wrongdoing; the man who
has upheld right without regard to
color or station in life; the man who
left his traducers in the confusion OF
falsehood, his political opponents in
the mire Of corruption and his party in
disgust, to assume the leadership OF a
party which invites men and women OF
all parties who believe in good govern

that fearless, untiring champion OF
popular right, THEODORE ROOSE-
WELT, we pledge the united support
OF the Progressive party OF Chelan
county.
We invite the cooperation Of all
those who are opposed to boss rule, so
apparent in the recent conventions OF
both the old parties; to exchanging ia
vors for large campaign contributions
from corporations; to nullifying laws
with party rules, and the nomination oi
candidates for President by corrupt
convention methods. We request
that you compare the straightforward,
simple language of our platform, ca
pable of but one Interpretation, with
the usual doubtful, ambiguous Ian
guage of the platform of the republican
and democratic parties, which mean:
one thing to the poor and lowly, and
the great unorganized body OF the
people, and quite something else tc
the rich and powerful and the highly
