Progressive party, ardent admirer OF
Theodore Roosevelt and personal friend
Of Clifford Pinchot, has come out in
favor Of Woodrow Wilson. and, in an
interview. promises to the supporters OF
the President any assistance he can rem

a platform strongly progressive, while
his success in securing the passage OF
much progressive legislation brought ur

proof of his ability to keep his promises .
