Asbury Park, N. J., July 23.
New Jersey led the Eastern states
in the Progressive party movement
to-dsy when a mass convention of
Progressives launched a separate
politicel organization and decided
to nominate a full state ticket for
the November election, The con
vention voted to put on ' the ticket
a set of presidential electors sup
porting Theodore Roosevelt and
send to national Progressive con
vention in Chicago che same dele
gation that represented the state
at the Republican national conven
tion, pledging them to vote for
Roosevelt.
The convention arranged for
the appoiotment of a state com
mittee which will settle details of
party organization. It suggested
no name for the new party and
agreed (o leave that detail and
others to the national convention.
The possibility of alliance with
either of the other established par
ties was denied in vigorous terms.
‘All the speakers declared for a
fight along distinct, pew parly
lives and all such expressions
were enthusiastically applauded.
CHEBRS FOR ROOSEVELT,
The convertion adopted, with
out dissent, the platform recom
mended by the committee of ar
rangements. A straight woman
suffrage plank arqused prolonged
applause.
The frequent mention of Col.
Roosevelt's name called for a‘
series of demonstrations and his
picture was everywhere in the
hall. The colonel had been urged
to attend, but in a telegram to
Chairman Fort, which was read to
the convention he expressed regret
because of his inability to attend
and said:
“May I through you extend my
heartiest good wishes to the con
vention. They are engaged in the
task of bringing this government
back to what it was intended to
be, a goverament by the people
in the interest of the people. The
old party organizations have be
come so hopelessly corrupted as
to make it impossible to do any
thing with them as they now are,
and it is largely due to the fact
that party fights are not now
fought along genuine lines of
cleavage. Our organization is in
very truth the people’s organiza
tion and we are trying to belp the
people to the best of our amlity
and we are fighting not only on
real issues, but upon the issues
most vital to the welfare of this
republic.”
HERE IS HIS PLATFORM.
The platform presented to the
convention declares for Roosevelt’s
presidential candidacy and sets
forth these “‘articles of faith:”
Nomination of party candidates
for President and Vice President
by direct primaries.
Election of President and Vicg
President by popular vote. '
Direct election of United States
senators.
Simpler methods whereby the
people may amend state and feder
al constitutions.
. Initiative, referendum and re
call, : ; 1
Referendum and woman suf-j1
frage. |
Government ownership and ope
ration of express, telegraph and
telephone service.
Protective tariff limited to the
difference in cost of production
tere and abroad and a downward
revision of the present tariff,
Where competition has been de
stroyed by monopoly and the tanff
is used to exact unjust tribute
from the people it should be
abolished.
THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1912
Tippens Bill Spells 1
Increase of Taxes
Which Will be Necessary to
Make Up Deficit in
Treasury
Atlanta, Gsa., July 25.—The re
lation of the Tippins bill to taxa
tion and the state treasury, as well
as to the purse of the individual,
is the thing that has made it of
vital interest to everybody in this
state regardless of views on the
prohibition question.
The announcement has been
made that in the event the legisla
ture over-rides the governor’s veto
and makes the bill a law, bureaus
will be organized in every county
for the equalization of taxation,
and that the burden of taxation,
falling heavier on all will catch
beneath it many classes of persons
who have here-to-fore been exempt
or nearly so.
That a large additional amount
of taxes will have to be raised to
cover the deficit if the Tippins
bill is enacted, is now admitted.
One of the first moves to this end
[will be the taxation of farm lands
at their proper value, including
lauds cow turned in as' wild lands
but in truth lmproved. Personal
property which has here-to-fore
escapea taxation wili be taxed.
The bulk of the increase will be
made ug it is believed in the coun
trz. and outside the large cities
which are already carrying prac
tically all the burden of taxation
of the state.
The term reverend was first ap
plied to a clergyman in 1657.
Solution of the trust problem
by strict government regulation
and control through a commission
and by the abolition of all special
privilege.
Oppesition to the Aldrich finan
cial scheme.
Unrestricted competition in

Insarance Is
Growing In. South
Legislature Si\ows “Active
Interest in Southern
Companies.
Atlanta, July 25.—N0 previous
legislature in the history of Geor
gia has taken the active interest
that the present one is showing in
the development and regulation of
insurance in the south, The re'a
tion of ipsurance with its pre
miums and investments to the
general weltare of a section is be
ingemphasized in several measures.
The geueral importance of in
surance drvelopment in Georgia
msv be reduced from the facy that
at a meeting of representatives of
southern fire insurance companies
held here recently, a capitalization
of fully fifteen’ million dollars was
represented. Reports showed a
steady growii of all companies.
Perhaps no other organization
of southern business men is doing
more to urge the patronage of
home industries than this one.
They have advocated the princi
ple of keeping money at home
constantly, and this advocacy has
bad its etfect not only in bringing
patronage to southern insurance
companpies but to other lines of
business. The home merchant
and local industries have profited
by it in no small degree,
While the southern companies
are making a strong bid for pa
tronage, they are not fighting
foreign competitors, They simply
ask for their share of business,
which have not received during
the past few years. :
It is a noteworthv fact that
proposed legislation in southern
states, particularly m Georgia,
requiring insurance companies to
invest part of their profits at home,
is just as fair to foreign corpora
tions as it is to those organized in

Tried for Treason
London,— Frederick Crowsley
was to-day arranged at Aldershot,
the biggest British Army post,
acused of inciting the soldiers to
fraitorous conduct., Crowsley dis
tributed a leaflet appealing to the
soldiers, if ordered outagainst the
strikers, to disobey the officers’
commands. The appeal began:
““Men, comrades and brothers,
you are in the army; so are we.
You are in the army of destruc
tion; we are in the industrial army
of construction. When we go on
strike and you are called upon by
your officers to murder us, stop.
Boys, don’t do it. ‘Thou shalt not
kill,” says the Good Book; it does
not say unless you have a uniform
on.”
