Archibold, Republican candidate FOR
shs congressional nomination in the
rixhth district ad iressed the mem
hars of the Seventh Ward Progressive
club last night.
aBeing a progressive Repupneah'
he said, II naturally expect 10 get
The nomination. because only progres-
siye men in politics can hope Tor o.
dee in these days Of advanced METH
DDS.
II am very glad 10 receive the IN
forsement of my candidacy Tor the
congressional nomination of the sew
eutf Ward Progressive Clup. / am
making my campaign upon the pfopo-
sltion that the Republican party IN
order to be successful in the future
must adopt progressive po1eies ana
establish in the party a progressive
leadership. The primary ana e=eetloii
law especially has proved It's Neitii
n. DESTROYING the boss system IN poll
lies and The members OF the seventh
ward Progressive C5ub arc entitled 10
a great share of the credit for the sc-
oomplishment of these great reforms
"But no party can live upon the
mast. There are immense problems
ahead of US to be solved. The aues-
fion of the relation of labor ana cap
i.aj: the question of how far the gov
eminent can interfere with ana fegu-
late business: the question ot now lar
railroads shall be allowed 10 be run
an private Institutions how far they
shall be compelled 10 be run as pup
tic institutions; the question of the
rapid growth of great fortunes IN the
hands of a few people. and the un- I
satisfactory conditions OF labor IN the
qreat industries of the country-are
all questions for the future The Re
publican party must meet these ques-
tions By proposing definite reforms
That party cannot meet these issues
ov supporting a standpat leadership,
.hich simply points 10 the magnlu-
cent history of the Republican party
in relation TO slavery. No matter how
alorious the history o. the Republican
party has been in the past, it can
only succeed In the future by putting
forward a legislative program that
shall help TO solve these new social i
and Industrial problems.
II stand as ! know this club stands.
FOR the leadership of the Republican
party by progressives. and for the en-
ire destruction of the control of that
party by the old 81 ahdpat leaders who
simply represented big business in ,
QuHllCS- lHdl IS nc OiAtg aa4 AZ
which the Republican party can sue
ceed, and this is particularly SO in
this campaign in this particular con-
zressional district. am the only
candidate in the Progressive primary,
and therefore am sure TO be the netni- (
nee OF that party. If | am nominated /
in the Republican primary then those
who are opposed to the Democratic
party will be united in support Of one j.
candidate and there is good chance
OF my election, but if'any OF my oppo
nents who represent the standpat i
leadership of the party Is nominated
in tie Republican party, those 3',lo
arc opposed to the further control OF
our national affairs by the Democrats
viii again be defeated. as they were
IN 1912, and the Democratic candidate
il sire of election. The same reason
ina applies to the nomination Of cam
aidates for county offices.
"The candidates who represent
these ideas will appear in the Repub-
ican primary upon the Republican
primary ticket under the designation
OF Progressive Roosevelt" and all
people who are anxious to see the Re-
publican party controlled by men of
progressive ideas should vote in the
Republican primary for the county
xnd congressional candidates, who are
70 appear upon the ticket under that
designation.
