ROOSEVELT OPENS CAMPAIGN

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONSl
REVERE BEACH, Mass, Aug. IL
Coupling the name Of Taft with that
of Lorimer, and referring TO the
'apathetic attitude" of Wilson to the
Democratic platform, Roosevelt
opened his Massachusetts campaign
today.
He declared both the old parties
were hopelessly corrupt and impotent.
He claimed the Progressives are free
from affiliations with either old party
and said: I'VE invite to our ranks
men and women, regardless of former
political creed, birthplace or color OF
skin The first essential in securing
the right of the people to rule is the
condemnation of dishonesty in nomi-
nations and elections. To steal a noIn-
ination is worse than to steal purse,
for 1t is the theft of personal rights" 4"
He declared Wilson's speech of ac-
ceptance was merely an apology for
the Baltimore platform, adding: 1--WE
ProgressiveS are not forced to apollo
gize for our platform or refer to it in
language so carefully guarded as to
convey the impression we are endeav-
oring neither to suppress nor repudi-
ate"

Los ANGELES REPORTS
INFANTlLE DISEASE ENDING

DR.. Virgil McCombs returned this
morning from quick trip to Los ALI
geles to make further investigation of
the contagion of infantile paralysis
which has been prevalent there, and
brought back most cheering reports.
For the week ending last evening
- new cases had been reported, 80 fer
the corresponding days the week be-
fore, 80 the week before that and 81
for the previous week.
At the health Office he was told the
disease was disappearing as rapidly
as it had come, and the health officials
believe they will have the disease
wholly under control by the time
school opens.
1t appears that there has been a
great deal more apprehension regard
ing the disease in this valley than in
Los Angeles itself, though no case has
yet developed here, and now that the
disease is getting so we'll in hand it is
hoped the valley may escape its in
