SPEECH NEXT WEEK
Former President, in Ohio
Address, Will Tell His Idea
of ProgresSiveness.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14-Colonel Roose-
velts keynote speech, his definition OF
Republican progressiveness, and the nu-
Cleus of the platform on which he will
rake his race for the Presidency, IL
nominated, will be sounded at Column
bus, Ohio, before the State constitu-
tional convention one week from today
The fact was made known today by
the progressive leaders, who have been
working with Colonel Roosevelt for sew
oral days on the subjects TO be dis
cussed.
Colonel Roosevelt will not announce
himself as a candidate, but will confne
himself TO a statement of the princi-
rles upon which the Republican stan
dard- bearer OF 1912 must, in his opinion,
take his stand.
During the last two weeks Mr.. Roose-
Welt has had as visitors political lead
crs and newspaper men from all sec
tons of the country. IIC has sounded
out each one not only on the subject
of Republican strength. but more espe-
CiallY as to the extent to which the
progressive ideas have been absorbed
by the people. IT is said that the
colonel has been surprised at the ex-
tent of the interest in the so-called rad
zeal ideas.
Several Of the Western progressive
leaders nave assured MN that only pS
a stand of uncompromisinS progressive
less can he hope to obtain the La Fol-
Ictte supporters. who openly state that
they will support a progressive Demo
Crat Of the Wilson type rather than a
compromising Republican.
After conference with Roosevelt,
Col d. c. Collier, of San Diego, was
asked what the Roosevelt platform
would be. He replied:

Of the prngre ssives, but it may not meet
