THINKS THEODORE A CINCh

This country stands on the brink
of a terrific revolution the turning OF
a hand might start it and Theodore
Roosevelt is the only man who Is big
enough to handle the situation. saad
Miss Juliette Arden. national organ
izer and speaker Of the Progressive
party, VIII ocame to Richmond yester--
day. Her work in Richmond and in
Virginia is to assist the Progressives
here to form a definite organization
and in the local organization she par
ticularly hopes to enlist the support
Of Richmond women whether they are
sunragists or antisufragists. The Pro-
gressive party does not permit sepa-
rate organizations of women progress
sives: they and the men must be IN
the same organization.
Miss Arden. who has been settle
ment worker in New York for de-

adopting the popular abbreviation She
wilt confer to-day with the leading
Progressives Of Richmond and hopes
that a definite organization can be
speedily formed so that mass meetings
may be held. She has been organizing
in New Jersey and Delaware. and af-

Only Man to Stop the Mob.
"A very famous New York fnancier.
declared Miss Arden. said the other
day, Roosevelt is the only man who
could stop the mob from moving up
Fifth Avenue If 1t started" According
to Miss Arden. the reason that men OF
the Perkins type are supporting MT.
Roosevelt is that they realize that a
fearful crisis is impending and believe
that he is the only man who can stave
off social revolution. Wilson she terms
"a very nice man." but she Is OF the
opinion that interests are behind him
which would tie his hands from reform
in the event OF his election. THE Pro-
gressive party is not formed to put
Theodore Roosevelt in the White
House." she said. but to prevent revo-
luton"
AS an illustration Of her belief that
Roosevelt will sweep the country. Miss
Arden told a story Of a man In q Fifth
Avenue Hotel who wagered friend
that a majority of its guests were for
Roosevelt. A poll was taken and out
of the total 1ss men guests. Miss Ar
den says that 1913 were for Roosevelt
She also says that in conservative Del
aware where the people are somewhat
afraid to speak out at a moving pic
ture show lately the pictures Of the
three candidates were shown and that
there was no applause for Taft, a lit
tie for Wilson. but that pandemonium
came when IT RS" picture was
shown. A wilson man Is the authority
she cites in this case

In her settlement work in the East
Side. Miss Arden took last spring a
poll of all the fathers OF children with
whom she came In contact In her work.
and they were overwhelmingly for T.
r." In the East Side there are 100
voters for every one up town. because
Of the great congestions of population
in the former section. Miss Arden
says that she found out in the New
York presidential primaries last spring
that the instructions Of the machine
Republicans to their election watchers
was to repeat every time Roosevelt
man voted and when Roosevelt man
repeated to have him arrested and then
repeat with a machine vote The peo-
pie in the factories and the people
Of the West are overwhelmingly for
IT. R. in her opinion Her prediction
is that Straus will carry New York
overwhelmingly. His nomination has
made the Progressive party even
stronger in New York. Sulzer will
have little affect upon the masses" she
said. Z.
THE great moneyed interests con-
troll an overwhelming number OF the
newspapers" Miss Arden charged. and
OF course, they are against Roosevelt
but they are not fooling the people.
A poll of the newspaper readers in the
New York street cars or trains will
show plainly that Roosevelt Is the
man"
