The more the question as TO
who is really the progressive man,

the better it appears TOR Cookson.
II has developed beyond the per-
adventure Of a doubt that Cookson
is better equipped in the way OF
education, that he has been equal
ly successful as a business man,
his credit is just as good in the
financial world and his political
record is far better and he repre-
sents cleaner and saier element

candidate however much we may
