'The old parties are husks,
with no real soul in either, boss
ridden and privilege controlled.’’
*'Our fight is against both of
the old corrupt party machines,
for both are under the dominatipn
of the plunder league of the pro
fessional politicians, who was
controlled and sustained by_ the
great beneficiarie^ of. privilege
and reaction.”
“Neither the Republican nor
the Democratic platform cohtains
the slightest promise of approach
ing the great problems of today
^either with understanding or
good faith/’
“If this country* is really to go
forward along the path of social
and economic justice, there must
be a new party of nation-'Wide
and non-sectiorial principles, a
party that shall represent in the
nation and the states the cause
of woman rights and governmen
tal efficiency. The old parties
represent government of the
many by the professional politic
ians in the interests of the few.’'
“The first essential in the Pro
gressive program is the right of
the people to rule. I do not mean
that we shall abandon representa
tive government, but that we
shall devise methods by which
our government shall become
really representative.”
“The nomination of Mr. Taft
was a fraud upon the rank and
file of the Republican party, and
such fraudulent action does not
bind a single ^onest member of
the party.”
“The American people, and
Bot the courts, are to determine
their own fundamental policies.
I deny that the American people
have suiTendered to any set of
men, no matter what their posi
tion or their character, the final
right to determine those fanda
mental questions upon which
free self-government ultimately
depends.”
“We stand for a living wage.
Wages are subnormal if they fail
tp provide a living for those who
devote their time iand energy to
endiistrial occupatiops.”
‘ It is abnormal for any industry
to throw back upon the commun
ity the human wreckage due to
its wear and tear, and the ha
zards of sickness, accident, in
voluntary unemployment and old
age should be provided for thru
insurance.”
“The pure food law must be
strengthened and efficiently en
forced.”
’ Our aim is to control business,
not to strangle it, and, above ail,
hot to continue a policy of make-
believe strangling toward big
' concerns that do evil and con
stant menace toward both big
and little concerns that do well.”
‘The antitrust law, if inter
preted as the Baltimore platform
demands it shall be interpreted,
would cause practically all in
dustries to stop. A national
industrial commission should be
created which should have com
plete power to regulate apd con
trol all the great interstate in
dustrial concerns.’---From Theo
dore Roosevelt’s speech.

Washington, Aug. 11.—Reji>-,
resentative William Roienbarg.
of illnois, machine politician^,
special privilege representative
and supporter of Taft and Sher
man, has been busy compiling
figures to show the probably ele
ctoral vote which will be won by
each of the presidental candidates
in the coming election. .
The result of Rodenburg’s cal
culations throws the election into
the house of reoresentatiVes.
He gives Taft 216 electoral votes
Wilson 210 and Roosevelt 95.
The only significance to these
figures is that so ardent an adv
ocate of. machine and_ special
privilege domination as is Rod-
enburg should concede at this
juncture that Taft’s electioh is
an impossibility and that Roose
velt is certain to carry seveiral
states.
' The Taft vote, as figured out
by Rodenbuig, will include the
soil votes of New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio, Illinois and
most of the New England states,
with a sprinking of western
states. To Roosevelt he giyes
Calfornia, Orgen, Kansas, North
and South Pak>ca and1)ther wes
tern and middle western sta~
tfSS,
Wilson’s strength, he figured,
is chiefly in the south, with New
Jersey and some of the western
states thrown in.
The Rodenburg figures at this
time are necessarily absurd. No
