ROOSEVELT IN
MINNESOTA
‘■Were Going to Stay Up Until
We Elect You.” Shout His
Admirers.
PT. PAUL. MINN., Sept. 5. —A lusty
b. band awakened Colonel Roose
velt at the union station here at 7
o ock this morning, when his train
arrived from Des Moines. It was ac
companied by an eager reception com
mittee of 200 insistent Bull Moosers,
who kept yelling for the colonel. Half
an hour after the colonel appeared on
the platform of his private car smiling
amiably.
He got a tremendous whoop. Roose
v it observed that Minnesota appeared
to wake up early in the day.
We have been awake a long time,”
came the reply. “We’re going to stay
up until we elect you.”
The ex-president was taken to break
fail at the St. Paul hotel, after which
he shook bands with the Minnesota
waders. He was assured that the Pro
gressives are putting up a good bat-
Te in the state and that the colonel
will carry the state in November.
At 10:30 o'clock the ex-president left
fie- the state fair grounds in Minne
apolis to deliver an address at the agri
cultural building. The day's schedule
calls for luncheon at the West hotel in
Minneapolis, followed by an automobile
ride with a farm dinner at the fait
grounds.

H. C, Bagley Plans a Great “Befo’ de War 11 Plantation
TO RUN FARM LIKE RAILROAD
Experts To Be in Charge of
Each Branch of the 3.200-
Acre Tract.
Running a farm like a railroad, with
heads of departments, cost systems, wel
fare work and everything handled along
strictly business lines is Henry Clay Bag- j
ley's idea of making a farm pay. He is
putting his idea into effect by capitaliz- 1
ing and incorporating his great planta
tion at Oglethorpe. Ga.. and conducting it
just as any big corporation would run its
business. And if anybody doubts that
Mi. Bagley knows business and farming,
look at the Penn Mutual Life Insurance
Company, of which he is general agent in-
Georgia. and the great plantation he built
up and sold at a profit.

Mr. Bagley on his 3.200-aere plantation at Oglethorpe, Ga.
his time to insurance work in Atlanta
and Macon —he has offices in both cities.
He devotes the remainder to his planta
tions. But he long ago learned the secret
of not trying to do everything himself.
He has good men—the best of men—-in
charge of his interests and he lets them
do some thinking for themselves.
The Oglethorpe plantations comprise
3,200 acres in Macon county. Mr. Bagley
has applied for a charter for the company,
with $250,000 capital stock, $150,000 com
mon and SIOO,OOO 7 per cent cumulative
preferred. He expects to sell the pre
ferred at sllO a share, and he shows his
faith in his proposition by taking the
common stock in exchange for his proper
ty at a valuation of SSO an acre.
Experts in Charge.
The system of management already has
been worked out and is under way M.
C. Welch, for years head of the Postal
Telegraph Company's construction de
partment. has been engaged as general su
perintendent. with authority over all. R.
E. Brightwell, an expert construction man,
will have charge of building barns, lenant
houses, wire fences and all bridge and
road work. Robert Wilson, an expert
farmer, will be in charge of all agricul
tural work and Ben Stewart, an expert
accountant, will keep an accurate cost
system, with complete records of expenses
and profits, which will show just how
much profit each department is making.
There will be foremen of the dairy de
partment and the orchard department.
The whole plantation will be directed by
a set of men whose duties are as clearly
defined as those of railroad officials.
That's the Baglev idea.
"And the labor question won't give us
much trouble,'' said Mr. Bagley in his of
fice in the Fourth National Bank build
ing. "My idea is to give the working
force comfort and keep thefii happy. 1
shall try to restore the old conditions of

t “We are planning a combination ehurch

ation of competing baseball teams among '
i the younger negroes, too, and every Satur-
• day afternoon they play for prizes given
by the management.
"In the future we expect to plant 1.000
acres in pecan trees, ’ continued Mr. Bag
: ley. "We shall divide this into five-acre ,
. tracts and sell to bona fide settlers. A j
l five-acre pecan orchard will support a
family in comfort.”
Mr. Bagley is confident of a success •
from a businesslike management of a ,

the road and developed real estate hold

It was Mr. Bagley who laid out the

the junction of the new road and the
Southern he laid out and developed an

His visits to his plantations are to him

soil.
For many years he owned the famous
Bagley plantation near Americus, a 2,600-
acre tract Most of this was bought at
from $5 to sls an acre He sold the prop

years ago he became interested in the de

By GEORGE W. PERKINS
NEW YORK Sept. Mr. Hearst
very kindly offered space in all of his ‘
newspapers for the presentation of ar- '
mentis in fovni'
i -Wm
guments in favor
of the Progressive
party. My sug
gestion. as one

for which the
party stands, was
that Mr. William
Allen White
should. If possi

Mr. White felt
that his dutj - and
his best field of
work were in the
country which has for years been the
scene of his activity, and that he could
not undertake tile additional labor the :

Therefore, at the request of the

undertake to present from time to time '
some of the arguments' and the facts :
which 1 sincerely believe must inevita
bly lead to the adoption by the people
of the principles for which the Pro- 1
gresslte party stands.
I do not pretend to .n:y special art '
of writing. That is s-.-areely xpeeted '
in a man who has devoted his life to 1
business ami besiness eonsti ui tion : but
if it be true that "to convince others
it is unit nect ssary for you yoursell' to
be convinced," I know that my sincere
belief in the Progiossive inuse and my

and the wishes of the American people
and, as they are discussed between now
and November, are bound to find such
a substantial following as to bring
about their indorsement at the polls.
Like First Liberty Party.
The Progressive party, because of
the principles for which it stands and
the character of its leaders, has a most
enthusiastic, earnest and intelligent
following, verj- like that which built
up the first great Progressive party of
liberty, protest and progress that took
this country from the control of Eng
land and gave it to the control of the
people living in the Cnited States. It
was the patriotic following of Wash
ington—those who were called the
revolutionists >f their day—that gave
to the people of America the control
of their own nation and their own gov
ernment.
of late years, gradually but surely
power has slipped away from the peo
ple. and the time has come to bring
that power back to the people onct
more.
One hundred and thirty-five years
ago on our Atlantic eoast our people
declared in substance that, through the
progress and evolution of the human
race, they had reached a point where
they no longer needed, nor was ft any
longer for their best spiritual and ma
terial welfare, to be ruled by a king.
Forefathers Took the Step.
it is almost impossible for us ir
this day and generation to realize the
magnitude of the decision thus rcacher
by oir forefathers, the colossal nature
of the progressive step those men took
tlie complete overturning of the then
existing method of government, the
revolutionary ’ haraetcr of their act
the enormous responsibility—at least
in the eyes of the people of that time—
that was assumed in the name of the
people.
in these one hundred and thirty-fivi
years we have spent millions upon mil
lions of dollais in the United States for
the broadest ami best educational sys
tem known to the world.
What has been the use of all this
expenditure of one hundred and thirty
live years of time and millions of dol
lars if it has not prepared our people
to take on even further responsibih i ?s
in ih< matter of self-goveinment?
I: seems athe; inconsistent for the
very men who have been giving such
vast sums of money for tile purpose of
educating the people to protest now
that the people can not be trusted to
properly use, in the matter of self
government, the very education that
these men have h' iped to provide.
't he boy is father to the man. You
can not spend millions of dollars ed
ucating the boy without having millions
of questions to answer from the man.
