The Progressive party lays out its fall campaign program focusing on independence from the Republican party with fusion tickets where needed, policy as the rallying point, and consolidating progressive voters across states.

Roosevelt has not publicly committed, but leaders report clarity emerging from talks with Progressives in Washington and at Sagamore Hill. Greatly improved bank premises in County National Bank are renovated with new walls and ceilings enhancing appearance.
