their Vaccinations ruthlessly exposesisss

Colonel Roosevelt, that enthusiasm
and high principles cannot be efrectiVaS
without organization and work. As

state shall not be disfranchised. ss
My own judgment is that MessrsssS
Barnes, Penrose, Guggenheim and 4
Company made poor swap when they
took two stolen delegates from CALI
fornia in place of the electoral vote
of California. They were not content
led With that. : ! = ! : -Y55y74nr
Bosses Given a Rap Ss8s
They swapped the electoral vote IL IS
Massachusetts, for the vote of two dele N
gates. think it was about as expen-I b
siVe swap as was ever made by po- &
litical managers. -.....'. =. !, ZIG
mo good will come if we merely
substitute one set Of bosses for an
other. There is nothing that thes8
bosses of both parties wish so much d
as to see every decent man vote aEsess
ternately for each with the vague
idea that he Is reducing the other. ISs
Now, no doubt, Mr., Barnes and Mr.
Murphy would like to have everything
all the time, but they are perfectly 81
willing each to take half rather than II
nothing. .'a...s s:sy,a@
But we do not care anything about
dividing the state equally between
them. What we intend to do Is t1g4
take it from both, and we intend ,to;
take the nation from both. ES
And in this party we intend toEs
build government without and With
In the party on the lines Of genuinsa
popular rule and of social and indus
trial justice for farmer, wage worker. @
business man and professional man
alike, to be achieved not through the
boss, not through the indirect control q
Of the party organization by special
privilege, but to be achieved through
genuine and not merely nominal rule
Of the people themselves" S.
Reports Highly Optimistic, S,
The reports of the County Chair
men all were highly optimistic, and &
the Colonel beamed with pleasure At
various predictions Of an ovefwneinn-3 q
