not talk much about salvation because
the word Is associated with ideas for

A WORD TO PROGRESSIVES.

IL is Oelng SalQ OF US, 1Or pOlltlcal
effect that we voted, the Progress
i've ticket last fall to show our
admiration for Theodore Roose-
welt.
While this is true in a sense, We
voted as we did, for far more CO.
gent reasons. than mere admira-
ton for a man. Admiration for
Roosevelt is born of appreciation
for his fearless leadership wherever
he has appeared in a public ca
pacity. AS Moses, who was chosen
of God to lead his people out of
bondage and as Washington, and
Lincoln were raised mp and put
forward as leaders in a National
crisis so the progressive spirit in
National politics recognize in
Theodore Roosevelt the ideal
champion of people who believe in
Square Deal" for the man
Lower down as well as Higher
up A champion of the masses
aud not the tool of the protected,
and privileged classes.
We voted the Progressive ticket
because we believe in true
democracy, which means a
Government of the people, by the
people, for the people We give
up nothing in our adherence to
the fundamental principles, that
were dominant and adopted, and
won, by the republican party, in
the civil war.
We claim these as common
property, achieved at the cost of
the best blood of the Nation shed
by those on both sides of the
conflict.
We assume to go a step many
steps further in National afa lrs,
and assert that the telling millions
male. and female do not receive
a Just recompense as reward, for
producing the wealth of the Nation
wherein the favored classes pro-
tected by discrimination in leglsla-
ton and administration Ievel.
My fellow citizens who stand
identified as you and l Stand, this
is The one reason why We voted
as we did. You and | can give q
reason tor the hope that is in us,
Tgood substantial reasons why we
voted the progressive ticket, and
why We shall continue to vote 1t at
every opportunity offered to US.
One among the chief reasons
why we vote as we do, is because
of the Steam Roller" adopted in
the district, State and National
Convention that nominated pIeSl-
dent TAFT. In contrast with that
convention we point with pride
J to that orderly body with proceed
ings said to have been more like
a prayer meeting than a con-
ventiOn that nominated Theo
dore Roosevelt.
Finally we feel proud of our
achievement in smashing the
political machine that directed and
propelled the steam roller heie
and elsewhere, but We fee
specially honored in being identified
with over tour millions of voters
in the great republican States O
8 the union who glory in the APP
pellation of Bull Moosers".
In conclusion let US assure
those who want Office that thes
lines were not dictated. suggested
nor authorized by any, secretar,
or chairman Of any political part,
mol written by an aspirant for an.
office but simply our answer t.
: those who suggest that We votet
: Just because, we wanted TO, or a
though we had no special reasons
:. for so doing. We suggest tina
none of US commit ourselves t
any man of any organization ii
we know what we are driving at
