Chicago, Jan. 11.--Theodore Roose-
velt in message of greeting read at a
meeting Of the national committee of
the Progressive party here, emphasized
the need Of preparedness, not alone in
material ways. but. of the soul and
spirit Of the. citizens of the nation.
1--WE as a country are facing a
great world crisis in which for the
last 1S months this nation has fallen far
short Of it's duty both to it's own people
and to the law abiding and justice low
ing nations of mankind" he said.
There is a crying need that we shall
cast aside all purely partisan consider
ations and disregard all but the vital
issues affecting the national life and
shall strive whole-heartedly for a
sound Americanism which shall insist
that every man who is within our
borders shall be an American and
nothing else.
We must do Justice to our own
E1eoRss at home. ia must Insist upon
the most thorough 1going preparedness
TO protect our rights against all pos.
sible attacks by an aggressor. Such
preparedness is the best guarantee oi
any honorable peace. We must ever
remember that there cannot be much
preparedness in things material unless
thereis also that preparedness OF soul
and spirit which alone renders nation
fit to perform it's high and difficult
duties in national and international
life" r... ~. ....e

Last night and today the locating
committee for the North Dakota So
ciety Of Equity. which is composed
of c. ]. Lee Of Valley City. Anthony
bon and which Is vested with the
power Of locating a great Equity
packing plant in North Dakota, was
comforting with the executive com
mittee, Sec. ]. P. Hardy and Traffic
Commissioner + o. Gibbs relative to
Fargo as a possible site for the great
institution, which without a doubt is
has ever been proposed for North Da-
kota.
The conference Of the location COM
mittee and the commercial club off,
cials is not so much for the purpose OF
advancing the claims Fargo has as a
possible site as 1t is for the purpose
of the commercial club representa-
tives getting an idea as to what the
locating committee deClres In the way
of site, ct cetera and Of assisting the
locating committee In preparing fol
the Investigations that are to be
made in the other towns Of the state
which are after the big institution.
Later, the Fargo commercial club
will be in a position to make a speci-
fic offer for the plant. although al
this time the club has received options
on IdIlQ " LHt
Equity people with ali they will re-
quire for the plant.
This land is the Alex Stern farm, on
Thirteenth street, just three miles
north from the intersection of that
street with Twelfth avenue north--the
Agricultural college corner and
options have been secured on enough
to supply the Equity society with al
that will be required for the great
plant.
This morning the committee was
busily engaged at the commercial clut
rooms in the auditorium consiserine
the matter Of railroad rates in and out
of Fargo to all parts Of North Da-
kota,v and Montana and this afternoon
in making trip to the Stern farm
to look, over, the lnpd and ascertain

While Fargo is not in position at
this time to make it's full offer for the
plant the committee has been assured
that all the land necessary will be
supplied, and concessions will be made
in the matter of street car connec-
ton with the plant as we'll as in the
matter of water supply and electric
connections.
At the conference last night Sec. ].
p. Hardy of the commercial club out
lined briefly why Fargo considered
itself the logical location for this great
plant following short talk by Mr..
Lee of the locating committee who told
what the intention of the North Da-
kota Society of Equity is. Mr.. Lee
made it clear that it was assured that
the Equity people of the state were
going to build a great packing plant
somewhere in this state, Just where
it would be located depending largely
on the advantages for the operation
of the plant as a strictly business prop
osition and where it would be hand
lest to the greatest number Of the
Oh LIiG SL1lSs ILIs 1eS oNdL-N
that the plant would cost at least
$500, 600.
Just when the committee on Ioca-
ton will complete its work in the state
is now known at this time, all depend
ing on the time it will be necessary
to spend in each place securing the
data required in making the final de-
cision. The indications are that the
visiting of the towns can be completed
by shortly after the first Of the month
while after this considerable time viii
be necessary In compiling for COM

Gus points. -

next presidential election unless the
European war continued and made the
presidents "sagacious and irrn" hand-
ling of foreign affairs the overshadow-
ing Issue.
Although he. characterized the gen.
eral trend Of democratic legislation as
commendable, the senator asserted that
the party was too radical and express
ed the conviction that no political
party can hope to remain in power
which adopts radical instead Of evolu-
tionary methods of reform.
The danger Of democratic defeat in
the congressional elections Of 1914, he
said, was averted only by the Euro
pean war, which brought into sudden
contrast the presidents policy OF
watchful waiting regarding Mexico
with the mad haste of the European
nations as they rushed into war and
which made that policy as popular as
it had Heretofore been unpopular"

prudence would keep us out OF Euro

as the result of the general prostra-
tion Of business, popularity attributed
to our economic legislation.
'Tt would not do to charge this to
the European war. first, because the
war, though injurious to our produc-
tion and trade in its inception. has
since become a stimulant to produc-
ton and export, and second, because
the commencement Of this depression
antedates the European war and was
contemporaneous with our legislation
regarding the tariff. banking and
trade.
I'VE are about to face united re-
publican party. chastened by adversely
and eager to persuade and the ques-
tion is whether the democratic party,
having done much under this adminis-
tration in the interest of genuine re-
form is again to be thrown out OF
power and deprived of the opportunity
OF continued usefulness, simply be-
cause an intervening period Of depres-
sion subjects us again to the charge
of democratic hard times with it's ac-
companying loss Of votes"
