ROOSEVELT'S GOODBYE TO HIS FOLLOWERS. To Work For Upbuilding of Progres- sive Party on Return From Trip. New York, Oct. 3—On his return from his South American trip Colonel Roosevelt tonight told the progressives gathered to> honor him on the eve of his departure, his best endeavors would be extended toward the up- building of the partv. The party is solid, he declared, and he added that it was the firm determination of the rank and file as well as the leaders to preserve its political entity, its soli- darity and intesrity. Speaking of the work he had mapped out for him-= self on his return, Colonel Roos: velt said that ‘“we shall enter un- daunted as a national party on an- other national campaign.” The colonel said that he would never rest content until every single princi- ple enunciated by the progressivi party is put into practical operation by the nation. “It is emphatically a fight for our country,* he declared. “T would continue to fight even if I stood en- tirely alone.” Colonel Roosevelt began his speech by sayfhg that he wanted to take this means of saying a word to all men and womed of the progressive party. All his 1, he-said, he has been engaged in work that culminated in the last eighteen months to which he looked back with the most satisfaction. This was his_compliment to the men and women who have worked with him in the organization and first campalgn of the party which he termed a move- ment for “social ad industrial justice to be achieved in a spirit of brotherly g00d will and of the broadest social consciousness.” “I believe that all of us who have worked in this movement to have gain ed thereby the inestimable advantage of a finer an¢/ higher. outlook on life.” He continued: Toreover, friends, we have kept the faith wherever, and to the extent that power has been given us. We have striven to make £ood every promise of the covenant with the people which our platform represents. There is no principle to which we have not striven to live up to | in spirit and in letter alike, We have so driven our principles home that | each of the old parties In place after place has been obliged to pay at least lip lovalty to them.” Colonel Roosevelt predicted that the | progressive party would never go back and he declared “I warn our oppone: that the fight has only just bezun.
