Voters who have been waiting
to see the Progressive platform
before enrolling in the new party
began visiting the Progressive
headouarters in the Midland
Building yesterday.
1T was the biggest days en-
rollment since the movement
first started, said A. +, Perkins,
assistant secretary of the state
and county committee. Fully
two-thirds of the newcomers are
laboring men. They say the
platform regarding laoor prob
lens is ideal. Many working
men carried petitions away witk
them ard declared they could ell
roll nine out of ten men IRON
labor's ranks, Practically every
man who signed the roll today
said so mething about the new
partys platform or the Roose-
velt speech. Business men said
it suited them. laboring men said
it suited them. Among the
signers were several men who
are interested in social welfare
societies.

| hpadouarters yesterday was &.

The things that Colonel Roosc-

read the platform of the Pro
gressive party yesterday and
were iubi'ant over the prospects
of better things. The old parties
had failed to meet for them the
requirements of the hour. The
labor plank in the platform re-
lating to means of amellorating
conditions of the toier met with
unanimous approval. Several
widely known labor men eE.
pressed themselves as having dc
serted the old ORGANIZATIONS and
joined the Progressive party.
The platform of the Progress
sive party contains these words:
I'VE believe that the issuance
of injunctions in cases arising
out of labor disputes should be
prohibited when such injunctions
would not apply when 10 labor
disputes existed.
We pleGge ourselves tp work
