were so far from the people that they
could not find out. He paid high
tribute to Theodore Roosevelt and de-
clared that he was the closest to the
people OF any man in public life today
He pointed out how both old parties
had centered their fight on Mr.. Roose-

cry method to get something on him in
order to discredit him. "Can they do
it," he shouted. and chorus of mo,

came back from the delegates.
In his speech yesterday, Governor
Otero declared that he proposed to
work to the limit of his ability towards
the election of the greatest leader in
the world today, Theodore Roosevelt.
He said no new party in the history of
the world had ever received such en-
dorsement from the masses, as the
progressive party. He was enthusias-
tically cheered through his speech. He
said the progressive party was one of
principle and the only party where
principle was higher than office.
