at the Santa F'e station by Thomas
d. Knight, president of the Chicago
Progressive club, and delegation of
members and later took a standing
lunch. conducted on heip-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
brmmed Panama hat in response to
occasional shouts of greeting He said
that he had enjoyed his vacation and
had profited by his studies of Indian
characters and customs.
IN speaking of his outing in 'Arl-
zona, Colonel Roosevelt said he spent

the party killed three mountain lions.
He said he shot one and his two sons
killed the Others He said the only
fresh meat the party had on the hunt

ing the snake dance Of the priests of
the Hopi Indians, which he said was
extremely interesting
Colonel Roosevelt declined to dis
cuss the Mexican situation, saying he
was not familiar with present condi- !
tions.
He made five minute speech at
the Progressive club, in which he ad
dressed the guests as Friends, Ladies
and Gentlemen, Voters ALL"
In referring to the talk of merging |
the Republican and Progressive !
parties, he asserted that the only pos
sibility of such plan would be for ,
the Republicans to adopt every prn-
6 iple of the Progressives, including
the judicial plank, In his brief
speech, Colonel Roosevelt said:
There would be no woman suffrage T.
n Illinois today if it had not been for
he work by the Progressive party last
year Never in the history of the
has a political party accom-
1lished what the Progressive party .
las in its brief history.
"In regard to woman suffrage, ! al /,
Ways had insisted that woman's duty |
Is a voter would not interfere with |
Ter domestic duties any more than it
loes with mans business. There /
ire some fool men who neglect their S
,usiness for politics and ] suppose {
here will be some feminine fools of
he same kind. God made woman
ools to match the men. The average |
ran and woman's first duty is TO their q
ome Politics come second
There has been a great deal of talk
bout political parties getting to !
ether They can get together any q
ime they wish by joining us. But
hey must adopt all of our principles, :,
ven the judiciary plank in our plat :
orm. 1t has been said that | con /
judges. | never have done
nything of the kind. never used q
nything like the language which a
lbraham Lincoln used in criticzing g
he United States supreme court. c
elieve judges are high class of pub a
C servants, but | don't believe in the
ght of any public servant to become "
public master. n
"lf an executive does not do what t.
le people want him to, he should be S
ecalled, even if he is a judge. If we r
ont get the laws we want, we should Il
ave the initiative and referendum to
i've us the desired relief. We intend g
' do injustice to no man.
1--WE are the only party that has y
1opted a rational plan for handling h
9th big and little business. We don't ;,
sieve in strangIing business !,
1--WE favor a policy that will COM W
81 business to serve the public, not N
vindIe 1t. Our wish is to apply the Al
'inciples of Abraham Lincoln to the
sues of the present day" 81
