erenee. TO the matter. but most OF
those who attended the convention
took it for granted no such course
was in contemplation.
All the speakers declared for fight
along distinct new party lines and all
such expressions were enthusiastically
applauded.
The convention call issued by the
committee that conducted Col Roose-
velt's primary campaign invited all
who entertained progressive princi-
pies ami favored the nomination of
TrheC doro Roosevelt, and the meet
{ ing was an open one. The big hall
was filed. about half of those pres
emf being summer visitors, including
many women.
| The convention adopted without dis
| sent the platform recommended by
| tie committee of arrangements. A
straight woman Suffrage plank arous-
ed prolonged applause.
The frequent mention of Col Roose-
| velt's name called for a series of

had been urged to attend. He gave
his reason for not doing SO in tele-

| /, through you, extend my heartiest
good wishes to the convention. They
are engaged in the task of bringing

people in the interests of the people.
| The old party organizations have be-
come SO hopelessly corrupted as to
make ii impossible TO do anything
with them as they now are, and this is
largely due to the fact that party

the people to the best of our ability
