ALL TO SOME IN PARTY EOUALLY Roosevelt Tells Followers New Movement Is To Be One Lit erally of the People. NEW YORK July 23. -Theodore ‘Roosevelt served notice upon his fol lowers today th.it they are assuming a grave responsibility in forming a new party and that careful organization will be necessary to wrest victory from their opponents He met 100 loyal sup ;• porters, including the county chairmen of New York state, nt the party head quarters today and made a short ad dress. "I can see that the Bull Moose Is a pretty big animal," said the colonel in opening his speech "I am not going to make a speech I came over here to greet you because you are the men behind the gun. No man knows better than I do that en thusiasm and high principles can not be made effective without organization and work. "You are undertaking the organiza tion of a new party—a party which is to stand for a square deal democracy - which is to be literally the par ty of the people; a party which is based on live issues and not on dead Issues; a party protesting against cor rupt and insincere quality of both the old machines: a party into which ex- Democrats and ex-Republics ns, men without regard to what their political past may have been, are to come in on an exact equality and to have each the same share in the party management. People to Share Party Powers. "When we get this started this is to be a party which will not only r< pre sent the people, but a party which the people will have a share of th" management. "We are going to see to it when this pew party is organized that it will not be possible for an; 53 men chosen four years before by politicians to announce tha' they stand superior to all the voters in a great, state, like California and if that state has not chosen to shape Its lines according to t’Ar will of the 53 individuals the state shall be disfranchised. "Nov. my own judgment is that Messrs. Bttrnes, Penrose, Guggenheim and company made a mistake when they took two stolen delegates from Cnliforn i in pi, ■■ of the electoral vote of California. And they were not con tent wll h that, they swiped the elet torate of Massachusetts for two more stolen delegates I think it was about as expensive a piece of sham practice as I ever saw indulged in and no good will come if we merely substitute one Bet of bosses for another. There is nothing that the bosses of both parties wish so much as to see every decent man vote alternately for each patty with the vagi" idea that he is rebuking the other. "No doubt Mr. Barm s and Mr. Mur phy would like to have everything all the firm-, but they ar> perfectly willing each to take half instead of the whole. But <\ don’t care .anything about di viding the state equally between them instead of giving it to one. “Will Take Both From Them." "Now what we intend to do is to take It from both and we Intend to take the nation from both. "In this party we Intend to build a government without and within the party, on the lines of genuine popular rule and asocial and Industrial justice for farmer, wage worker, busim s< man and professional man alike to be achieved not through th. b m t through the indirect control of the par ty organization by special privilege but to br reached through general ami not merely nominal rule of the p.-.q.'. themselves " I me woman.
