“Thou Shalt Not Steal” Call for Organization and State Convention To the Citizens of the State of Indiana: in compliance with and pursuant to the call issued by the Provisional Committee of the National Progeresive Party for a convention at Chicago, on August 5, 1912, for the purpose of " nominating President and \ ice-Presidential candidates, the Provisional Executive Committee of Indiana Piogressives, authorized by a mass conference at Indianapolis July $, 1912, hereby announces the plan for State District,. County and Precinct organization. ’ ORGANIZATION. t For the purpose of quickly creating an effective organization of the Progressives of Indiana, the Executive Committee has adopted the following plan: County Chairmen will be named in each county of the State by the Executive Committee for each district, by and with the council and advice of known and active Progressives of such counties. Each County Chairman will appoint one member from each percinct in his county to form a County Central Committtee. This plan of organization has been adopted first, because it can be perfected in the shortest possible time, and second, because it insures an organization composed of men who are known to be loyal to the progressive principles that have called into existance this party. It is well known to the voters of this State that members of one political party have participated in the primaries of an opposing political party for the purpose of assisting disorganization, boss rule, and the selection of weak cr bo*s controlled candidates or machine-dele-gates../- ~ ' Inasmuch as poll hooks containing the names l of the Progressive voters of Indiana, for obvious reasons, are not in existence, it has developed upon this Executive Committee to secure the appointment of known and loyal Progressives to take charge of the various county Progressive organizations, to prevent their being ‘‘packed” by those corrupt interests whose pernicious influence will be terminated by a successful Progressive Party. » STATE CONVENTION. For the following purposes the Indiana Progressive Committee hereby invites all citizens of the State of Indiana, who, without regard to past political affiliations, desire to co-operate with and take part in this Progressive movement, to meet in delegate convention at Tomlinson Hall in the city of Indianapolis, Indiana, on Thursday, the Ist day of August, 1912, for the purpose of adopting a platform for the current Indiana compaign, and for the ‘purpose of nominating two delegates-at-lage, and two alternate delegates-at-large to the National Progressive Convention, and also the selection of thirteen other delegates and a like number of alternates, one of each delegates add alternates to the National Progressive Convention, from: each of the thirteen congressional districts, who will be qualified to take the place of their principal in the event of the disability of such elector to act, occurring before said election: all of whom are to be voted for at the general election in the State of Indiana in 1912; also to nominate candidates of the National Progressive Party for the several effects of said State of Indiana, to be-- voted for at the general election in November. .912 ■ The State Convention will elect a Chairman of the Progressive State Central Committtee. The convention will assemble at 10 o’clock A. M. on said Ist day of August. 1912. The convention will be composed of 1,438 delegates apportioned among the several counties of said State on the basis of one delegates for each 500 votes cast by Republican, Democrat. Socialist and Prohibition parties, for their first elector-at-large at the Residential election .held in November, 1908. and one delegate for additional fraction of 250 vctes or more cast as aforesaid. Said counties shall be entitle' t? select an alternate delegate for each delegate so apportioned. ' All delegates to this-convention will be selected in each county of the state on Monday, the 29th day of July, 1912. The hour and place in the respective counties for holding the meetings for selecting such delegates will be fixed by the Progressive Chairman of each county. M . County Chairmen, the press and all citizens interested in this great progressive movement are requested to give this call the widest publicity in their respective counties, to the end that all citizens deisring to affiliate with this movement, may participate in the selection of said delegates to said State convention. BY ORDER OF THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY OF THE STATE OF INDIANA.

HOLD THE KEY DOES YOUR MONEY COME from what you earn each day? And stop coming the minute you stop work? Here is something that will make you independent the soonest of anything into which you can put your savings. It’s a piece of land in the Swigart Tract. I'll tell you why: - .

THIS LAND IS GOING UP every season and after each rise the sales increase over any before. The price advances are not of a boom nature; but are conservative, based on the settling tip of the lands, increased demand for them, and the general development that is going forward there. Men who obtain the land now will hold the key to the future opportunities of this growing district. PRICES AND VALUES are the magnets that are drawing the people to the Swigart Tract, Prices here were once so low as to really keep people away; it’s human, nature to associate value with price. But now that, the land values have become so thoroughly established, there are twice as many sales as five years ago when the land was half the price. For the same reason, five years hence, the demand for these lands will be twice as great as now, and at double and treble the present prices. Oh, yes, there will be later chances, but they will require much more money. Common Sense says, “Buy while you can.”

IN THE RACE for a competency you have been outstripped by some investor who was perhaps not so smart as you, but who pinned his faith to rise in land values. There is no possibility of loss, with great probability of gain, if rightly placed. A little investigation will prove to you the value of the location of the Swigart tract in Mason, Manistee and Lake Counties. Michigan, only 179 miles from Chicago, near the Lake Michigan shore, where water meets rail and trains and steamships transport products overnight to Chicago, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, Detroit and Toledo; with no 1 40-acre piece in the tract over five miles from some shipping point and good wagon roads all the way. THERE IS VALUE in having for local markets Ludington and Manistee on the edge of the tract, which towns require our products for their 30,000 population. You surely rec* ognize the value of the ample rainfall, wonderful supply of purest water in creeks, springs and inland lakes, and the value of the most healthful climate. Have confidence in your own judgment. Add tne judgment of the settlers to your own, which you can obtain by talking with them. It is only a short and inexpensive trip to the lands.

Full particulars can be had by addressing George W. Swigart, owner, 1247 First National Bank Building, Chicago, 111., or his agent C. J. DEAN, Rensselaer, Ind.

See for yourself that the well drained, gently rolling and level lay of the land is perfectly adapted for the harrow, disc and planter. See the growing crops, the building going on, the many families moving in. the good schools and the growing towns. Good values greet the view on every side—land that raises 150 to 300 bushels of potatoes per acre, grows three or four cuttings of alfalfa a year, has as big crops °f rye. wheat, oats, hay and clover as Illinois land, and vegetables of ail kinds in perfection. -Here is the natural home for fruit trees. Nowhere on the continent are conditions better for raising apples, peaches. pears, plums, cherries, grapes and berries. THE SWIGART EASY’ PAYMENT plan is most liberal. Prices slo' to $35 per acre and terms as low as $lO to SSO down and $5 to $lO per month on 40 acres or 5 per cent discount for all cash. A large selection of choice lands at sl7 per acre. If you should die the land will be deeded to your family free from any further payments—a good protection without extra cost.

THERE IS MUCH TO LEARN about these lands. Send me your address and I will mail a booklet that has 38 pages of pictures and descriptions about the lands and also a large map. There are over a thousand 40-acre pieces to select from and many larger and smaller. There are 10-acre tracts, especially well located near towns, just right for fruit, poultry and truck; business and residence lots in two new towns on the main line of the Pere Marquette Railway, and summer resort lots on the Wellston chain of lakes.
