the declaration of faith of a nationai
party it is unique and inspiring in
it's enthusiasm for progress and hu-
manity. 1t takes it's stand in favor
of Justice for those who labor and
equality of opportunity for business

Wisconsin Idea nationalized. Here
for the first time the things for which
Wisconsin Prcgressives have fought
for years are now vital issues in
nationwide campaign. 1t is as like
the Republican state platform or tWo
years ago as two peas. The Re)ub-
lican state platform this year IS in
harmony with both. How can we
who have sacrificed for these ideas in
Wisconsin oppose them now in the
nation? For one / shall not attempt
the role.
1t is true there are Progressives
in Wisconsin who do not admire
Colonel Roosevelt. They say he is
insincere. | do not believe this
charge can be substantiated. Colonel
Roosevelt's character and qualihca-
tions for public Office are well known.
His fitness to lead the progressive
movement has been submitted to the
voters themselves from Maine to Cal

the new party has called Governor
Johnson of California whose splen-

is almost without parallel. Allow
ing all fair deductions that may be
claimed--and nothing human is per-
fect-here is a ticket, political plat
form and party personnel which FOR
high purpose, genuine patriotism
and political courage challenges the
support of every thoughtful citizen.
II is not neasy thing for a Repub-
lican candidate to withhold support
from even the nominal head of his
party. But it is easier than suffering
the feeling OF standardization and
loss Of self-respect inseparable from
an attempt to go through this cam
paign appearing to support men he
does not respect and lodging issues
that should be squarely met. And
after all, "a was said of old THE
letter killeth, but the spirit giveth

names or labels, that count. No Re-

ticket need leave his par
ty in this state on that account.
I shall support the Republican
state, congressional, legislative and
local tickets and vote for Colonel
Roosevelt and Governor Johnson.
