In an address before the state com

concern of the people should be to
prevent Tammany from obtaining
complete control of the state,'' and
that "to this the lesser Issues must
give way."

which the state finds Its public af

legislature pledged to the carrying out
of progressive policies. In voting

ever. Colonel itooseve,lt urged Ue
voters to' support the progressive party
candidates to the end that they might
"defeat Tammany without enthroning

After emptiastxlng that the prog

you to consider whether you prefer

"No intelligent and honest nfan
doubts that the attack upon the gov
