(To the Editor) ,v It may bo a little late, but not on- 1 tirely untimely to remarK mat ine v vrr.irt-aaaiva'H uuemma in uic .' " wi tQrorum recently unv...s reading ana snoweu me auu be well informed on political condi tions of the day. To some, who never voted the re gressive party ticket, the action of Col. Roosevelt at convention time this year seems a very wise move. Theodore Roosevelt was a Republi- -11 4-1, and fnr him to dlS- regard personal ambition and be will ing to take the abuse sure to be heap ed upon him by disgruntled politici ans, who hope to ride into office and easy money on the Progressive wave, only shows tho size of the man. lno split in the Republican party has been a fairly good lesson to the Eastern bosses, which may last iui years and the nomination of Charles Evans Hughes for president is an un doubted victory for the Progressives. If the homeless Progressives with "small interest in the success of par ties, but a deep and passionate m- i i. ! nomnmifv" cannot stomach lei-eai in v - . .the great "Trust Busier ijub.., f what is the matter witn j . r "" lay of Indiana : Mr. Hanley twice 'Republican uov ernor of Indiana, Representative of the people , in Legislature and Con gress, re-nominated by the Progre ssive party for governor of his state this year, rich in political experience, Vi noweriui witn tongue ' ' wander in the desert when such a man is in the field? If the progressive partv was "founded to give justice to onH onualize the distribution of prosperity," the lonesome voter still has the Socialist ticket to fall back on with just such ideals. Corrupt control of conventions, Wall street po litical bosses and dirty politics gen erally reecived a well merited re buke with a great man as leader, and now what the movement has accomp lished it purposes those who had a different idea of the outcome and have allied themselves with the new party with selfish motives in view Will have to take the quinine. i rrn -,. nonlW nnlv two politi cal divisions of the people of the United States today namely the Liberal and Conservative elements ana sooner or later the present will consolidate on that basis. Ine Progressive element of all the present parties forming the Liberal party and the balance the Conservative. A sad condition of affairs exists with the two old parties today for they are absolutely without a divid ing issuo. Preparedness is not an issue, for the only difference of opin ion seems to be over how much mon- ,;ii ononrl srpttiner ready to t;y we ii e protect our homes. Americanism can not be made an issue, for the man in any party who will not uncover his head; and take a deep breath at sight of the Stars and Stripes has little business on American soil, and the person who' opposes the use of our flag over every school house and church should be mads t., go back where they belong. The calamity predicted under the Underwood Tariff law, has failed to materialize, i.nd the lino between the old parties on tnis oia wom-uui. has faded away. The only burning issue before the American people today is National Prohibition of the liquor traffic, and because the old parties still refuse to recognize it as such men like Hanley, LanJrith, Foss, Sulzcr, Shaw and Poling are coming to the Prohibi tion party-Aand have helped to form tht following platformi tte-t GEO. L. CLEAVER, cooperation in electing the Prohibition party to power. 1'eace ana rrepareanesa We are committed to the policy oT peace and friendliness with all nations. We are unaiteraoiy opposeu , to the wasteful military program of . the Democratc and Republican par- i ties. Militarism protects no worthy institution. It endangers them all. It violates the high principles which have brought us as a nation to the j present hour. We are for a construe-; fi.ro nvnirrnm in nrenarpdness for ' peace. We declare for and will pro mote a world court, to whicn nation al differences shall be submitted, so maintained as to give its decrees bind ing force. We will support a compact among nations to dismantle navies ana uis batid armies, but until such court and compact are established we pledge ourselves to maintain an effective army and navy and to provide coast defenses entirely adequate for na tional protection. We are opposed to universal mili caiMin nnH fn nnrt.ieination in the rivalry that has brought Europe to the shambles and now imperils the civilization of the race. Private profit, so far as constitu- llnnalln nnaaihlo nhnnld 1)6 taken OUt of the manufacture of war munitions and all war equipment. In normal times we favor the em ployment of the army in vast recla mation plans, in reforesting hills and mountains, in building state and na tional highways, in the construction of an inland .waterway from Florida to Maine, in the opening of Alaska and in unnumbered projects which will make our soldiers constructive build ers of peace. For such service there should be paid aw adequate industrial Those units of our navy which are capable of being converted into mer chantmen ana passenger u i ti,l ulth that DUr- pose in view, and chiefly so utilized in times ol peace. .... We condemn tne poimuai tn ....... .i.:v. than thirtv years, have allowed munition and war equip ment manufacturers to piunuer u. people and to jeopardize the highest ri.-i.

A commission, of specialists, iree the control of any party, should be appointed witn power tu information on all phases of the ques tions of tariff and reciprocity, and to recommend such legislation as it deems necessary for the welfare of American business and labor. Merchant Marine The necessity of legislation to en able American ship builders or own- ers to meet ioreign the most favorable terms, is obvious. Materials for construction should . i :u 1 rfvf Hiifv. The purchase of ships abroad, when low prices invite, should be al owd and, when so purchased, should be admitted to American registry. tt i onH Miarires and navi gation laws should not be onerous, ku favninlilA in tha hiirhest degree ... . . i tiL- .j i. iviberal payment snouia d muuo uy the government for the carrying of mails or for transport services. to any of our possessions should be reserved to ships of American regis try. The people should not overlook the fact that the effect of nation-wide Prohibition, on labor and industry generally, will be such as to lower tha orwt nf shinhuildin? Der unit, and at the same time permit the payment of higher wages. The increased vol ume of trade and commerce which will result, when the wastage of the liquor traffic is stopped, will quicken our shipping on every sea aim oeuu ui flag on peaceful missions into every mi This io mo-mi br an incidental effect of wise action on the liquor question, but is none tne less to oe desired and will aid in the solution of the problem of our merchant marine.

Americanism We stand for Americanism. We believe this country was created for a great mission among the nations or the earth. We rejoice in the fact that it has offered asylum to the op pressed of other lands, and for those, more fortunately stuated, who yet wished to improve their conditions. It is the land of all peoples, and oe lones not to any one it is the her Uale of all.
