In your issue Of the list INST [ note an arti-

Of the political doinss ana situation mere on
Monday, the 9Th inst. ana Of the speaking OF
Hon. Robert Turrbull. and Judge Walter Wat
son, candidates before the Democratic primaries
for the congressional nomination Of The Fourth
congressional district of Virginia
This account states that Hon, Robert Turn
bulls friends Were In the majority and that
he had the greater reason to be pleased. This
il different from the View Of the situation,
as Il presented itself to most Of the unbiased
spectators and listeners here on the occasion
referred 10, that beg YOU will allow ms through
yoar columns to say that while IN the beginning
Of the meeting. the Turnbul folk were in greater
evidence the crowd, the personnel and sentiment
Of the crowd changed steadily throughout the
several hours occupied by the speakers, and
that when the day was done, it was. and is Still
generally recognized, that there had been great
gains in the Watson ranks. not only by the de-
cison Of many who were uncertain To how

Influence For Good Roads,
Speculation as TO the number of au-
tomobiles in the country has always
been an interesting topic with auto
lists, the effect of road Improvement on
the number being also a factor n
this speculation. 1t will never ne
known exactly what part the incrsas-
Ing use of automobiles have had IN
improving the conditions of roads or
how much the Improvement OF the
roads has increased the number OF fi3-
toYnohiles, but 1t is q fact that thu
advancement in road Improvement,
and the growth In the number OF MS
chimes in use have been coincide II.
Which is the cause and which ia the
effect is a difficult question. and prob
ably most people would settle IT by
claiming that both are causes, and
both are results.
Industry increasing.
In the United States the automobile
industry has increased tremendously.
and in Virginia az elsewhere. For IN.
first five months of 1912 the total
registrations in the United States
showed an Increase of twenty-four per
cent over the entire twelve months
of 1911. or course. there are dupli.

Progressives to Wage Active Fight.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 0.-Theodore
Roosevelt made it plain to-day that
the program of the Progressive par
ty does not contemplate making
terms with the Republican party as
a party. He said in effect that the
new party had come to stay and ex-
pected eventually to attract to it's
banner the Progressives who still
gave allegiance to the Republican and
Democratic organizations.
AS to the leadership, Col. Roose-
Welt said the events of the next year
or two could be trusted to develop
the best men, who must be chosen
without reference to their own de-
slres but solely with regard to the
needs of the people.
Progressives in Congress and in
the State Legislatures were urged to
get together and push progressive
legislation, but they were also coun-
seized to support legislation that
would carry out the principles of the
new party, regardless of what party
might introduce it.
Addressing the Progressive Ma
llonal Committee and other leaders,
MI. Roosevelt congratulated them on

efforts Of the reactionariex to turn /.
into a fetish for the obstruction of
justice The Constitution vas created
to secure justice. and We refuse 10 a.
low IL TO be so perverted - to be-
come barrier between the people
and justice. Every proposal we have
made for applying and adapting the
Constitution TO our present needs is
proposal 10 save the Constitution By
making IL a more efficient instrument
for securing justice for ali the peo-
pie.
Il believe that the Progressive
party. and all good citizens and all
believers in genuine popular rule.
should heartily support the proposed
constitutional amendment recently
introduced By Senator Bristow to Sc
cure the people of the United States
proper control OF their own govern
ment.
These amendments embody the
fundamentals OF the Progressive po-
sftion on popular rule. III adopted in
principle, they will secure the right
TO appeal to the people OF the country
when important legislation is blocked
by adroit political manipulation and
the right of the people. after the de-
liberation and without Unnecessary
and long-drawn delay and procrasti-
nation, TO make, and TO interpret the
purpose of their own constitution.
The adoption Of these Bristow amend
! ments, including that providing for
| the direct election of United States
Senators, will make it comparatively
easy to ',ecure the passage of desir-
| able laws, and to keep them in efici-
ent shape on the statute books.
Matter of Leadership.
| I'm the matter of leadership, both
local and national, we may trust the
events of the next year or two to de-
velop our ablest and most resource
full men; and for every position the
leader must be chosen, not in the
least with reference to his own de-
sires, but solely with regard to the
needs of the people for the Progress
sive party is the servant of the PEG
pie. No man should come into thi!
party with the idea that he can estab
lish a claim on it; he must be con
tent with the opportunity it offer'
for service and for sacrifice"
