Show ROOSEVELT'S REVIEW OF CAMPAIGN?; i Theodore Roosevelt's statement issued last night, declaring that the battle of the Progressive party has just begun, will be received with an amen by the supporters of that great nmn throughout thc Unitcd .States. The battle is on for social and industrial justice nnd the Progressives Progres-sives will not rest contented until their program of reformation is written into the statutes of the United States. A very significant paragraph in Col. Roosevelt's announcement is this: "If either of the old parlies will endeavor to put into legislation legisla-tion any one of our plans, they enn count upon our hearty support in so doing; but we will not rest until the entire pint form is enacted into law and becomes part of our political system, national and state' After all, that is the real object of party organization or at least should be to bring about needed changes in government. It matters little what party wins, if the principles guiding that party are aidful and are consciously adhered to. Jf the Progressives can forco the Democracy to enact legislation covering the tenets of the new party, then the Progressive party has won as great a triumph as though successful at the polls. Jn the meantime, however, the Progressives will keep their watchguards on the towers and never for a moment cea.se to prepare pre-pare for battle. |
