ssSince the day of Governor VIII

sng telegrams an dletters from I'D
eral minded Republicans assuring
him OF their support. We are CON
stantly receiving like assurances
through Democratic committeeman
and nominees in various states The

to call for organization The senti'
ment will he accelerated by the re-
cent penrose- Roosevelt-Archbold dis
closure. These disclosures fit in with
the Perkins life insurance contribu-
tion OF $4,000 and the Hartman con
tribution of $240000.
"These circumstances have led
many honest, earnest. patriotic pro
gressiyes who think that President
Taft is too reactionary, to douol
whether the cause of real progress
and reform can be subserved by the
election of Mr.. Roosevelt. They are
beginning to reflect that Mr.. Roose
veit is more progressive out of office
than in office. They regard Senator
La toilette as the great apostle of
reform, the great pioneer OF progress,
the real pathfinder in the Republican
party. They remember that La Fol
lette is progressive in office as well
'as out of office. that he has always
karne fruit: that he has borne fruit
IS governor of Wisconsin: that he
has planted the tree of reform in the
Senate: that it has budded and BIOS
soned there. but thai the fruit has
not ripened because it has been with
cred by reactionary influences in the
senate and i'm the White House.
