Roosevelt has. issued cal. for a con-
vention, to be held in Chicago August

To the people of the United States,
without regard to past differences,
who, through repeated betrayals, real.
ize that today the power of the crook
ed political bosses and of the privileg-
ed classes behind them is so strong in
the two old party organizations that no
help in the real interests of our coun-
try can come out of either.
''Who believe that the time has
come for national progressive move
ment-a nation wide movement-on
non-sectional lines, so that the people
may be served in sincerity and truth
by an organization unfettered by OBJ
legation to conflicting interests.
"Who believe in the right and ca
pacity of the people to rule themselves
and effectively to control all the agen-
cies of their government, and who hold
that only through social and industrial
justice, thus secured, can honest prop
erty find permanent protection.
Who bellevue that government by
the few tends to become, and has in
fact become, government by the sordid
influences that control the few.
| "Who believe that only through the
movement proposed can we obtain in
the nation and the several states the
| legislation demanded by the modern
industrial evolution; legislation which
shall favor honest business and vet
control the great agencies of modern
business so as to insure their being
used in the interest of the whole peo-
/ pie; legislation which shall promote
prosperity and at the same time secure
the better and more equitable diffusion
of prosperity; legislation which shall
promote the economic well being of the
| honest farmer, wage worker. profes-
sional man and business man alike,
but which shall at the same time strike
in efficient fashion and not pretend to
strike at the roots of privilege in the
world industry no less than in the
world of politics.
| "Who believe that only thi" type of
wise industrial evolution will avert in
dustrial revolution.
- Who believe that wholesome party
government can come only if 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 well as to
business.
