Chicago, Aug. 26. - Colonel Roose-
velt, burned almost as red as the des-
ert Indians among whom he has been
sojourning, arrived here. He spent less
two hours in the city before TAX
Ing the Pennsylvania special for Oy-
ster Bay. :.
He was met at the Santa Fe station
Chicago Progressive Club, and dele
CATION of members, and later took a
Standing" luncheon conducted on a
help-yourself basis at the club.
On the way to this function, in an
automobile, the colonel was recognized
by many persons, and waved his wide
brimmed hat in response to the greet
Ing.
He said he had enjoyed his vacation
and had profited by his studies of In
dian character and custom.
Roosevelt said he spent the first
fortnight hunting and that the party
killed three mountain lions. He said
he shot one and his two sons killed
the other He said the only fresh meat
the party had on the hunting trip was
the mountain lians, and that the meat
was delicious.
He spent two weeks among the
Navajos, and visited the great natural
kcsJ 4 hinh hn
which he described as "triumphal
arch of nature" He closed his visit by
attending the snake dance of the
priests of the Hopi Indians, which, he
said, was extremely interesting.
Roosevelt declined to discuss the
Mexican situation, saying he was not
familiar with present conditions.
He made five-minute speech at the
Progressive Club, in which he said:
There would be no woman suffrage
in Illinois today If it had not been for
the work done by the Progressive
party last year. Never in the history
of the country has a political party
accomplished whaea the Progressive
party has in it's brie9 history.
"In regard to woman suffrage, l al
ways insisted that woman's duty as
voter would not interfere with her do
mestic duties any more than 1t does
with mans business. There are some
fool men who neglect their business
for politics, and supposes there ~
be some feminine fools OF me same
kind. God made woman fools to match
the men, The average man and wo-
mans first duty is to their home. Poll
ties comes second.
There has been great deal of talk
about political parties coming togeth-
er. They can get together any time
they wish by joining us. But they must
adopt al ofl our principles, even the
judiciary plank in our platform. 1t has
been said that | have condemned the
Judges. have never done anything OF
the kind I never used anything like
the language which Abraham Lincoln
used in criticising the United States
supreme court l believe judges are
a high class of public servants, but |
do not believe in the right of any pub
lie servant to become public mas
ter.
"If an official does not do what the
people wish him to do he should be
recalled even if he is judge. If we
don't get the laws we want we should
have the initiative and referendum to
give us the desired relief. We intend to
do injustice to no man.
1--WE are the only party that has
adopted a rational plan for handling
both big and little business. We do
not believe in strangling business. We
favor a policy that will compel busi-
ness to serve the public. Our wish is
to apply the principles of Abraham
Lincoln to the issues of the present
