“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.

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.
