SENDS OUT CALL
TO PEOPLE.
FOR NATIONAL CONVENTION
To be Held IN Chicago August S,
For the Purpose of Nominating
a Candidate for President

New York, July IA call TO the
people of the United States who are in
sympathy with "the national pro-
gressive movement" TO send delegates
to a national convention to open in
Chicago August 5, was given out this
afternoon by United States Senator
Joseph M. Dixson, of Montana, Theo-
dore Roosevelt's campaign manager.
The call is signed by members of the
committee chosen at the meeting held
in Chicago and also includes signatures
of Roosevelt followers in forty states,
"The territories have no place in a
national convention and will not be
considered" declared Senator Dixon
in commenting upon the signatures.
GAS for the missing eight states, the
most of them probably will send dele
gates, although they have not taken
part in the call.
"Maine, for instance, postponed any
definite action because there is now a
strong fight on in the primaries with
the sympathy running in favor of the
progressive movement. North Caro-.
lima, Delaware, Arkansas and Nevada
probably will take part in the conVen-
tion. Mississippi and South Carolina
may possibly be unrepresented. The
call lays down no rules as to the
methods of choosing delegates, since
each state will be expected to select its
delegation by its own paraphernalia.
The representation will be cut down TO
just one-half of the previous conven-
tions. This was considered advisable,
since this convention is to be notably
a deliberative body and will certainly
be com posed of class of men altogether
different from those who usually
attend conventions. In all probability
the convention will adopt the name
''national progressive" for the new
party, but / cannot say definitely
what will be done. Thus far no issues
have been authoritatively stated and,
of course, the platform itself will have
to be decided upon by the delegates /"
Text of Call.
To the People of the United States
Without regard to past political
differences, who through repeated be-
trayals, realize that today the power
of the crooked political bosses and OF
the privileged classes behind them is
so strong in the old party organizations
that no helpful movement in the real
interests of the country can come out
of either;
Who believe that the time has come
for national progressive movement
a nation movement-on non
sectional lines, SO that the people may
be served in sincerity and truth by an
organization unfettered by obligation
to conflicting interests;
Who believe in the right and ca
pacity of the people to rule themselves
and effectively to control all the
agencies of their government and who
hold that only through social and

election on the 5th Of November, l9lZ
| have twice served as Governor OF
Tennessee, under peculiar difficulties,
in what was probably as stirring and
eventful as any period in the civil
history of the state. While may nave
made mistakes, no man ever brought
to bear upon his public duties astronger
and more devoted purpose to serve the
people and advance their interests.
During my administration the credit
of the state was sustained and large
amount of its bonded Indebtedness was
retired The gross income from the
penitentiary was greater than IL mas
ever been since its establishment, ana
the revenues from all other sources
were increased.
Itwas my constant aim to strengthen
all the departments OF the state
government. That of agriculture,
which had Jagged, took on new life
and meaning. An Experimental
Farm was established in West Ten
nessee. Lectures courses for the
farmers were given and wholesome
laws were passed to protect them from
impure seed and their live stock from
misbranded an. aduIterated feeding
stutfs.
A Department of Mineralogy and
Geology was also created to explore
and develop the mineral resources ol
the state.
The inspection of the mines was IN
every way satisfactory. Few ex
posions of any character occurred
and an important act was passed re
peaing the law which denied a righ
of action to minor or his persona

out of the negligence of the foreman

roads-realizing their value in promot

MoWry declared the representations
OF Hawthorne and Freeman prompted
him to buy silver and iron stocks. II
was Freeman, he said, that told him
of the "Organist' buying stock.
DO you think a mere church or
ganist has got enough money for that2'

ARIZONANS ONLY
PAY FOR GAS USED
Minimum Rate Charge, Regardless Of
Amount Used, Is Declared
Illegal and Abolished.


Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 27.-Au public
service corporations in Arizona are to
be notified at once that minimum
are illegal, being in conflict with law
The county attorneys are to be nutified
that the law must be enforced.
This action was taken by the corpor-
alton commission at an executive ses-
sion. in line with a resolution intro
duced by commissioner z. A. Jones. At
the same meeting the commission de-
cided to institute a determined cam
paign to determine where rates are
discriminatory and to have such rates
di discontinued.
There is no question that the anti
minimum rate law is being violated
every day in many cities of the state.
In Phoenix the gas and electric COM
pany discontinued minimum rate
charges September / Now no Gus
toner pays for more gas OF electricity
than he actually uses. The city owns
the water plant and has a minimum
rate, but municipalities are not under
the control of the corporation commits
sion.
Numerous instances of seeming dis
elimination in rates have been brought
to the attention of the commission. It
is alleged that in some cases persons
are given lower rates, sometimes half
rates, because of political or other in
fluence.
The investigation into discriminatory
rates will result in a vast number of
hearings that may extend through most
Of the year
