OKLAHOMA CITY.. July 10-At a
conference of more than forty prom-
inent "progressive" republicans held
jbere today, it was decided to csll a
state convention for July 25. In Ok-
lahoma City, The announcement was
mad.* that no effort would be made
to put a state ticket In the field, and
It was also stated that seven "pro-
gressive" republicans, nominated as
republicans would vote for Theodore
Roosevelt, If elected.
An effort will be made to get six
others to follow that course.
The convention will consist of 1.160
delegates. Frank Frantx, former ter-
ritorial governor and Rough Rider,
presided at the conference.
Instead of naming a state ticket.,
the progressive republicans will vote
for the candidate which they believe
Is the most progressive, whether he
be republlcsn, democrat, socialist or
independent. This was decided al-
most unanimously at the conference,
which was composed of resl leaders
among the progressives, snd they will
endesvor to get sit "progressives
to follow that course.
Call Per State Convention.
To the People of Oklahoma:
A csll Is hereby made for a dele
gate convention for the state of Ok
lahoma, to be held at Oklahoma City,
on the 24th day of July, 1912. for
th* purpose of the election of ten
delegates from the state of Oklaho
ma to the national convention Aug
ust 5, 1M2. for the nomination of can
dldates for president and vice pres
Ident of the United States and to
transact such other business aa may
in the discretion of such state con
ventlon, properly come before It. by
all citltens In sympathy w'lfh the na
tlonal progressive movement, and
who believe that the deliverance from
the wrongs that oppress the people
may no longer l>e expected from the
enemies of rlghteoua> government to
win control of the old political partus
Political parties are sacred only
they sacredly serve the people.
The new movement to be organ
Ixed In Chicago la not merely a pro-
test against the flagrant thefts and
Iniquities that brought about the al-
leged nomination of William H. Taft
in defiance of the wishes of an over-
whelming majority of republican vot
ers In every state where.they were
given free opportunity to expresi
their choice of candidates for the
presidential nomination. The new
movement appeals to every man in
this nation to unite with bis neigh-
bors. regardless of religious creed
«• past party affiliations that aec
tlonal lines of whatever kind may
be obliterated; that control of our
national ggovernment may be wrest-
ed from a vicious, unpatriotic, de
struct!ve minority and restored to
the people; that the square deal may
become a fact. Instead of a splendid
vision, snd that In a land of plenty
It shall be no longer possible for any
man to be deprived of the fruits of
his Industry and reduced to the struit«
glee of poverty, merely to Increase
the vast and useless wealth of thoae
who have usurped control of our

behind the walla of special privileges

Editor World: As the original re-
publican "insurgent" in Oklahoma
and as a progressive republican and
Roosevelt supporter In the recent con
test I am asking for space to tell wh
I shall support Taft in the coming
campaign. I do this ln the belief
that proper discussion will result in
most progressive republicans finally
deciding to be regular.
In the first instance, assuming that
Mr. Taft and his policies are gener-
ally unsatisfactory to progressive re-
publicans. it may be well to discuss
the alternatives offered. There are
but two alternatives offered, nume-
ly, either the support of Colonel Roos
evelt's third party movement or an
outright support of Mr. Wilson. Of
the latter I will have nothing. In
that my decision is prompt and final.
Frankly. I had one experience of
that kind and I entertain no sort of
notion of repeating that experience.
A republican cannot become a demo-
crat and feel at home. As well at-
tempt to put square plugs in round
boles, in basic principles of govern-
ment and In tradition as well the
chasm Is too wide, the difference too
rsdlcsl for one to attempt such
change. One's whole nature rebels
and that means, "lost condition Is
worse than his first."though he be
not altogether ln harmony with his
party. 1 anticipate that few progres-
sive republicans will become demo
crats. Experience tells me that those
who try will regret the move. Were
it true that (Lionel Roosevelt gave
promise of a party which might unite
all progressives, and. by the aai_
token all conservatives might be ton
ed Into one conservative party, there
would appear to be much logic
supporting such a movement Still,
there are reasons arguing strongly
against such a course even under the
ideal conditions Just mentioned. How
ever, no such condition is possible.
The great rnsaa of the democratic
party is progressive and these people
are satisfied with conditions In their
own party. They will not Join
the new Roosevelt movement. To
organize the Roosevelt party, there-
fore, means that It must draw Its
support entirely from the republican
party. Thus we will have two pro
gresslve movements, and an effort
at concerted action faila. under these
conditions, a Roosevelt party can be
only a party of "retaliation.'' and no
party or no business founded upon
such a spirit can succeed. Unless
the logic of events led. Irresistibly to
a consolidation of all men of progress-
ive tendencies into one party,
third party movement could live.
Further than thla, the Rooaevelt
lovement is too much like the cru
sadea of the middle ages. The peo
Pie seem lo have all been agreed upo
the end wished for — that (he toiub
Christ might be snatched from
the Infidel, but none seemed to have
well defined Idea of the means nec
isnry to accompllah that end. The
reault was that under the impulse
aroused by the fiery oratory of lead
era these people set off blindly, un
equipped for the campaign, without
detailed policy, to redeem the tomb.
History records that their bonea
bleached on the plains of Baitern
Europe
Are we of the Twentieth Century
to proflr nothing by such folly? Are
wa listen to the paaeloa stirring ut-
teraacee of a great crusader aad with
oat equipment aad wtthoet a fixed
policy to act out on a journey toward
must be proposed, argued, amended
and enacted Into law. They may
remedy the evil and they may not.
Personally I think tbey will go far to-
ward relieving conditions. On the
other hand It la still only conjecture
whether or not they will develop evils
greater than those now suffered.
Msdison. Hamilton and Jefferson
warned us In the Federalist papers
that the greatest danger to our new
republic was In following the man
who began as demagogue and finish-
ed as tyrant.
The progressive movement was
doing well before Colonel Roosevelt
usurped the leadership. The people
were gradually being educated to-
ward an intelligent effort to relieve
themselves. The remedies proposed
were being debated and converta were
being made. This was as It should be.
Suddenly, this man with the most phe-
nomenally compelling personality thla
generation haa seen, flung himself
Into the controversy. He added
nothing to the remedies proposed, ad-
ded no new argument to those be-
ing pressed, but whipped the people
to an unthinking frenzy of hostility
to the great financial lntereats.
This will not do. We oa a people,
are the Jury. Between all the t reat
conflicting Interests we must d<clde.
Vet we are parties to these conflicts.
We are, by the very nature of our
ly and in the heat of pasalon, decide
ors ln our own cause. Shall we blind-
government, compelled to sit as Jur-
tbese cases ln our own Interest, with-
out regard to other men's rights?
When we do we bid good byo to our
form of government. We invite a
kingdom or an empire where king
or emperor holds a deciding band.
We should move steadily, calmly
and Intelligently toward a solution of
our problems. Let us not gather so
much momentum that It carries us
beyond tbe limit of fairness
Mr. Taft 1s not aiding the atrong
to oppreas tbe weak. He may not
resist It ss strenuously as we wish.
He Is. perhsps, too s-tutlous, but he
Is honest, sincere and upright.
The "stolen delegates" at Chica-
go only polut out a weakness In our
system. Delegates hsve been stolen
before We do not overturn govern-
ments because our horse is stolen, but
we do therefore lock the door. We
can bring about a condition where
delegate* are chosen st direct primar-
ies and where new national commit-
teemen take their seats before the
national convention. Then the will
of the peopl.e cannot be subverted in
this manner, unless new methods are
devised.
Great principles of government un-
derly the republican party. In thcee
I believe. The party Is strongly pro-
gressive whenever we get a chance
to express It.
Let us work out our salvation In
our own party Let us do It calmly
and Juatly. Let us never take that
which is not fairly ours but let us
work toward the day wh«re the oth-
er fellow cannot tuke that which Is
fairly ours.
Mr. Taft is no reactionary. He Is
only cautious. We can cure all our
Ilia within the limit of the party
which haa In tbe past fifty years
made our country glorloua.
Remember, that as wo build, we
are building for our chlldreu and our
children's children. Let us not ceaae
to build but let us build atralght and
true. Let us not become Impatient.
Our republic, like Rome. Is not built
In a day.
When we adopt new pollclea let
them be matured and ripened, not
force-grown In a hot house of poli-
tical passion
1 am a progressive, within tbe
bounds of my party. I shall fight
un, knowing full well that that par-
ty will soon be In the hands of pro-
grvaSives — progressive* who demand
Justice to each, Justice, but nothing
more.
