OF Its Campaign.
New York City.-Reaffirmin "Thou
shalt not steal" as one of the
cardinal principles of this campaign,
the national progressive provisional
committee has just issued the formal
call for the convention at which 1t is
planned to name Theodore Roosevelt
once again for president.
Chicago is the place and August
the date. Here is what Manager
Joseph M. Dixon described as the
--latest declaration of independence:
Invitation to Everybody.
''To the people of the United states,
without regard to past political differ
ences, who through repeated betrayals
realize that today the power of the
crooked political bosses and of the privi-
legged classes behind them is so strong in
the two old party organizations that no
helpful movement in the real interests of
our country can come out of either;
"Who believe that the time has come
for national progressive movement-a
nationwide movement-on non sectional
lines so that the people may be served
In sincerity and truth by an organization
unfettered by obligation to conflicting in
terests;
"Who believe in the right and capacity
'of the people to rule themselves and ef-
fectively to control all the agencies of
their government and who hold that only
through social and Industrial Justice thus
secured can honest property find perna-
nent protection;
''Who believe that government by the
few tends to become. and has in fact be-
come government by the sordid Influences
that the control the few:
Modern Industrial Evolution.
''Who believe that only through the
movement proposed can we obtain in the
nation and the several states the legisla-
tion demanded by the modern Industrial
evolution, legislation which shall favor
honest business and vet control the great
agencies of modern business so as to en-
sure their being used in the interest Of
the whole people, legislation which shall
promote prosperity and at the same time
secure the better and more equitable diff
fusion of prosperity, legislation which
shall promote the economic well-being OF
the honest farmer, wage worker profess
sional man and business man alike, but
which shall at the same time strike in
efficient fashion-~and not merely pretend
to strike-at the roots of privilege in the
world of industry no less than In the
world of politics;
"Who believe that only this type of
dustrial revolution:
'Who believe that wholesome party
government can come only II there is
wholesome party management in a spirit
of service to the whole country and who
hold that the commandment delivered at
Sinai Thou shalt not steal applies to
politics as we'll as to business;
''To all in accord with these views
call is hereby issued by the provisional
committee, under the resolution OF the
mass meeting held in Chicago on June 90
last. to send from each state number
of delegates whose votes in the conven-
tion shall count for as many votes as the
state shall have senator's and representa-
tives in congress, to meet in convention
at Chicago on the fifth day of August
1912 for the purpose of nominating can
didates to be supported for the positions
of president and vice president of the
United States"
