Senator Dixon intends to stay in Chicago, Illinois until the Progressive National Convention in order to maintain close contact with the “western situation.” Running full Progressive tickets in state and county elections has created new enthusiasm for a national party. The state convention in Michigan was very successful and Dixon requests that Theodore Roosevelt write a letter of encouragement to Illinois progressives who are organizing county conventions.
