The Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, 287 Fourth Avenue, New York City.
Dear Sir:—
Indiana County Progressives send you congratulations on your safe return from your epoch-making journey to South America.
Ours is the Pennsylvania County that gave you six hundred more votes than Taft and Wilson combined received. I hereby make a special plea that you honor us with a campaign speech when you tour Pennsylvania. Indiana, the county-seat, is situated at the center of the county and is entered by rail-roads and trolley-lines leading to different sections. When you come thousands will greet you, and in no uncertain tones.
Progressivism is a live issue here. We are in the fight to stay. We want no fusion or amalgamation with the Republican party, the party of Penrose and his ilk.
I am,
Sincerely,
J. Day Brownlee, Jr. Chairman of Washington Party in Indiana County, Pa.
