the men in the mills, and in the sweat
shops. and on the farm and on the rail-
road section are Joining with US by

Of thousands.
Recognize Female Equality.
1t is because we recognize that the
women who bear the men of the ma
ton are fully as worthy as the sons
they rear that we have wakened the in
terest not only of the women. but Of
every broad minded man who has
thought at all upon human equality
You can read our platform from one
end to the other. You will find no
empty phrases in 1t; no lodging of any
both sides Of a lineup by steering an
evasive middle course
In favoring the initiative and the ref
erendum we would give the people the
power to legislate directly If ii becomes
necessary for them to do So
Our advocacy Of the recall is due to
our conviction that men sometimes
lief that such men should be taken out
of office and replaced by men with a
higher sense of their obligations
The awful horror Of child labor Is a
thing on which there can be only one
opinion. Yet with every opportunity to
stop it neither the Republicans nor the
Democrats have done so We will stop
It, and at once, if the people intrust
our party with the direction of Iegisla-
ton.
Reduced to its simplest terms our
platform is but Photographed common
sense. 1t is scientific, but it is not com
pick. 1t is easily understood easily ap-
piled. And yet because 1t will divert il
legal gains from the pockets of few
crooks who have intrenched themselves
behind archaic statutes it is denounced
by their kind as sociaistic

later in this present century there must
be progress, as there has been in every
century since the first group Of men
established the first primitive govern
ment.
Either this progress will come stead

For several days rumors have been
current In the Federal building that Mr..
Jackson's trip TO Washington was for
the purpose of removing the postmas-
ter, the district attorney and United
States marshal He also is said to
have been using his influence to pre-
vent the nomination OF Clark Grier az
postmaster at Dublin, Ga.
The same attaches of the Federal
building who have put these reports be-
fore the public have been open in their
declarations that Mr.. Jackson was
seeking the Office of postmaster for
himself and that c. p. Goree, promi-
nent lawyer and Republican leader,
would be made district attorney. John
Martin. assistant revenue agent was
named as the man to succeed to the
office OF collector OF internal revenue

slow in stating his personal opinion oil

ly with the planks of our platform, and
bring it about. or it will come vio-
lently. Damned up public opinion, like
damned up water, is dangerous. There
comes a time when the dam will break.
Later | hope to deal more particular
ly with the planks of our platfor. and
more intimately with the course of the
campaign. Today | will content my
self by prophesying that within a very
few weeks leaders of the two old par
ties will be astonished and dismayed by
reflections from their ranks to ours. For
| know that the voters OF this nation
are long suffering; but ! know that they
are tired and disguised by promises that
are never kept, and when on election
day they find the recall in their hands
they will use it to good purpose.

By SENATOR J. M. DIXON.
Chairman of the National Progressive
Committee

NEW YORK, Aug. Ell welcome
this opportunity to tell the readers OF
The Georgian the truth about the Pro-
gressive party. This campaign Is I'M
like any campaign in the history Of the
republic for the reason that the Pro-
gressive party is unlike any other po-
litical party that has taken part in a
presidential campaign.
What we are seeking 10 do is not only
to elect to office man and a set of
men, bat to, solve by the application Of
scientific principles the problems that
are behind that unrest and dissatisfac-
ton with conditions which, if left alone,
will eliminate in socialism, or even
anarchy.
Our platform is more than a reaffir-
nation Of the commandment Thou
Shalt Not Steal 1t is an assertion of
the doctrine that the people are fit to
rule, and ought to rule this country.
And it undertakes to remove from their
path the obstacles raised by law writ e.
ten by men who lived in a day when
our present problems did not exist. and
could not even by inspired eyes have
been foreseen.
Would Make Platform Law.
We mean to write that platform into
the statute books of this country, and
to make It the law. We mean to make
it possible for men to be humane, to
consider their fellow men, and their
fellow women without violating the
constitution of the United States We
mean to enable honest business to pros =
per by making the other kind Of bust
ness not only dishonest, but illegal We
mean to return to the government of
the founders of the country-that is. a
living, practical government OF the Iiv-
ing by the living; not a government of
the living by the dead
1t is because our purpose is so plainly
expressed In our platform that we are
meeting with a response that is almost
universal
IT is because We propose to raise la 70
Dor, in its broadest sense, to its due

ARREST 81 RESORT KEEPERS
SUBPOENAS FOR PRODUCTION OF
"KEY" TO REPORT.
States Attorney Wayman Asks Aid
of Preachers in the
Campaign.

Chicago, Oct Z. The crusade
against vice in Chicago, conducted by
States Attorney John e. w. Wayman,
took startling turn when at the re-
quest Of states attorney, Judge Henry
G. Moran of the municipal court, is
sued subpoenas duces tecum, or the
production of the key" to the report
of the vice commission which was
made public about two years ago. The
key has since remained in the ar
chives Of the commission.
When the report of the commission
was published it contained much in
formation of a startling nature regard
ing vice conditions in the various le-
wee districts of the city. Many In
mates and resort keepers furnished
most of this information, their iden-
titles being concealed through the me-
dunn of numerals in place of names.
In order to have the benefit of this
information the subpoenas were Issued
against Dean Walter +. T. Summer Of
st. Peter and Paul cathedral, and Ed
win w. Sims, former United States
district attorney here. Mr.. Sims was
the secretary of the commission.
In response to the subpoen Mr..
Sims appeared in Judge Moran's court
and made vigorous effort to prevent
the productions of the vice report
key. He explained that when the
commission disbanded in 1910 the
key which virtually is a directory Of
all the owners, keepers. disoreerly no.
tells and their inmates in the city, was
placed in the hands of committee of
five of which he is a member.
Mr.. Sims went on to explain that
the information was not obtained for
the purpose of prosecution but that
the commission made a private in
vestigation to ascertain vice cOndi-
tions in the city. 1t finally was agreed
that Mr.. Sims should speak to the
other members of his committee 10 see
if they are willing the key" should be
given to the prosecutors Office.
States Attorney Wayman sent let
ters to 20 preachers, asking them 20
cooperate with him in his attempt to
stamp out vice by having them an
nounce in their pulpits that he will
be glad to receive any complaints re-
garding disOrderly places. Thirty.
four resort keepers were arrested by
the police as a result of States At.
