Country Of Roosevelt's Record in

Judge Noah Allen. generally
known as an active Bull Mooser,
leaves tomorrow to take the stump in
some Of the Northern states for the
progressive party. He has completed
arrangements with the national COM
mittee OF the progressive party to
| make four weeks campaign, and a
few days ago received a telegram
from the headquarters of the party,
telling him that he is expected to
leave here today
Judge Allen yesterday received a
letter from Chicago, asking him to
report there. From that city he will
go to North Dakota to begin his
! work Henry F. COchems, of the ma
tional committee, made arrange
ments with Mr.. Allen upon the
recommendation of Co. Cecil Lyon.
who is at the head Of the progressive
party in Texas
Mr. Allen has been prominent in
republican politics in Texas during
the past ten or twelve years, and has
been active in every campaign dur
ing that time. The progressive
party has chosen him doubtless be-
cause Of his familiarity with he
border country, and because he il
well acquainted with the facts in rn-
gard TO the Fort Brown affair, which
has become an important factor in
he Roosevelt campaign.
In speaking of his trip to a Herald
man yesterday, Judge Allen said:
"The only vacations | take are
during campaign times. when
usually give from two to four weeks
to campaign work For the past ten
years / have gone on the stump for
the republican party in Texas every
two years.
This year have promised the ma
tional committee Of the progressive
party to give four weeks in the
Northern and Eastern states in the
campaign for Roosevelt and John
SON | am in receipt of a telegram
that I am expected 10 leave here for
Chicago tomorrow to start on the
work. Just where I will be sent
am not advised and will not know
Until reach Chicago.
II firmly belive that the time has
come when the people who believe
in the progressive ideas of govern
ment must break loose from both of
the old parties. The membership of
one is as badly divided in opinion as
the other, and there can be no real
relief from a party that is divided
within itself
"The progressive party represents
united front. 1t travels with its
face 20 the enemy of the people. It's
candidates were the choice of the
majority 1t speaks in no uncertain
tones as to the principles it advo-
Gates.
"The rennblican marty candid ate
for Dresidert is trying to ride into
the White House again on a stolen
nomination, knowing ii to be stolen
from the people He is a minority
candidate
The democratic party has minor
itv candidate also, whose nomination
was forced by the sandbagging
methods Of Col Bryan. Governor
Wilson had less than a third Of the
duly elected delegates in the cOnven-
ton, while Champ Clark had clear
majority on ten straight ballots. 1t
was strictly minority rule conven-
tion. Both the republicans and
democrats have minority candidate
vet they prate about majority rule.
'In my campaign | shall endeavor
to make these points clear to the
voters. Being from Brownsville |
shall also. when the occasion re-
quires, defend the action of Colonel
Roosevelt in discharging the negro
soldiers who shot up the town.
IT will also denonnce the weak
and vacillating policy of President
Taft in dealing with the Mexican
situation. and his failure TO display
any interest in American citizens m
Mexico. or lack of nerve TO do any
thing if he did display interest
Being able 10 speak from PER-
sonal knowledge of the facts con-
cerning the stealing Of our delega-
ton at large to Chicago. I will give
come attention TO that subject. The
receiver of stolen nomination is no
better than the men who perpetrated
the theft and is unfit to be president
| Of a great people.
II shall endeavor to maintain a
good record for Texas. and hope to
return with good reDor's. and wit
ness a sweeping victory for Roo7e-
Welt and Johnson"
