PROGRESSIvES REPUDIATE
 ROOSEVELT
His New York Convention Hay ing Endorsed Taft and the
 Aldrich Tariff
-(By Clyde H. Tavenner.)


 Washington, Oct. 14.-Theodore Rooseve1t's star Of destiny is falling! While he was in the South dickerine 1 for the support of Republican dele gates to the 1912 convention, a vigor- ous movement was started among the Egenuine'' ProgresSives of the WeS' and Middle West looking toward the withdrawal of all support from the former president.
 Some of the leaders of the-Con- quietly talked the situation over and decided not to permit Roosevelt to run away with the leadership of the national Progressive noyement, si II dent from using the Progressive movement for his own personal ad- vancement, these real Progressives will publicly repudiate Roosevelt They will direct public attention to the gross duphcity Roosevelt prac- ticed on the people by proclain1ng himself a Progressive and then straightaWay turning about and al lowing the New York state conven- tion-over which he had absolute control-to adopt a platform indors- ing the Payne-Aldrich tariff jugglery and the reactionary Taft admin1stra- tion.
 The New York platform. squarely describes the Payne Adr1ch law as a fullfllment of Republican prom ises, because it states there was an average reduction of all duties of II
 
 stitute revision downward.
 This is in contrast to the Wiscon- sin Republican platform which states unequivocal1y that @'the Payne-Ald- rich tariff is not a compliance with the pledge of the Republican party" LaFoIlette, Clapp, Bristow, Curnmins and Deliver are on record as saying the Republican promise of downward revision was not carried out There fore if Roosevelt was right, the Pro- gressives who declared otherwise, are members of the Ananias club, which they emphatical1y deny, and which the public does not believe
 The Roosevelt-made platform con- makes T. R. impossible as leader of the genuine Progressives in 1912, to wit: we enthusiastically indorse the Progressive and statesrnanlike lead ership of William Howard Taft.
 The genuine Progressives 'fe11- Taft administration. Progressives like LaFonette condemn Taft for having filled his cabinet with repre- sentatives of the special interests; other Lincoln, Aldrich as the great est living financier and the tariff law as the best tariff bill ever passed; and last but not least, for having counsel from men like Aldrich, Gug- genhein, Stephenson, Dalzell and Fordney, while at the same time re- fusing to give evenArespe eetfu1 notice to the suggestions Of Progressive Re- pubicahs.
 Through indorsing the tariff and Taft, Roosevelt has queered himself with the ProgressiVes. They will not permit him to enter the 1912 Pro- gressive movement, much less to Root, the messenger boy of Wall street.

Conscience Versus Art.

Shortly after Tennyson's poem F@The Vision of Sin'' appeared an eminent mathematician sent the poet letter that ran like this:
 Dear Sir-I find in a recent poem of yours, entitled The Vision of Sin,' the following unwarranted statement: Every moment dies a man, and every moment one is born.' I need hardly point out that this calculation, if cor rect, would tend to keep the sum total of the worlds population in a state of perpetual equipoise, whereas it is an stablished fact that the said popu1a- ton is constantly on the increase. I would therefore suggest that in the next edition of this poem the erroneous calculation to which I refer should be corrected as follows: Every moment dies a man, and one and a sixteenth is born I may add that the exact fig ures are 1.167, but something must of course, be conceded to the laws of rhythm"

hess of the steel trap which surrounds
the bait.
It says: "To show just how illogi-
cal Mr.. Lind is, it can be truthfully
stated that if the next legislature
should have majority of Democratic
senators and representatives, neither
Moses p. Clapp would be elected to
the United States senate, nor would a
county option law be passed.
IF Mr.. Lind is sincere, he would
urge the election of Republican sen.
ators and members of the legislature
and Governor Eberhart has promised
to sign county option bill if one is
passed. But the Democratic leaders
are looking for Republican votes, and
they are willing to use any kind of
bait, if it brings the Republicans into
the Democratic trap.
"On the theory that the Republicans
have not lost their sense of reason
and good judgment, we predict that
even so cunning trapper as John
Lind will have few pelts to exhibit

Easy Problem to Solve

The voters of Minnesota are being
treated this year to the spectacle Of
a candidate, running for governor on
the ticket of party which rejected
county option as one of the blanks
OF it's platform, stumping the state as
county option man and making that
his main issue. We have no obiec-
tlons to county option if the majority
OF the people wish it, but we hone
that they will not be fooled into vot-
ing for man for governor thinking
that thereby they will secure county
option. The men who are sent to the
legislature are the ones who will
made the county option law if it is
made. Gov. Eberhart has promised
to sign any such bill passed and we
do not know what more could be
asked of man. This is all the gov.
ernor could do anyway and the coun-
ty option people could ask for no
more. Frank Day and the rest of
that crowd are trying to work the
greatest hoax of the day on the Min
nesota voters but we doubt very much

Honored by Home Town.


Governor Adolph O. Eberhart has
reason to feel more than pleased and
gratifed at the magnificent reception
that was accorded him in his home
city last evening. The function, al
though political in it's character, cer-
tainly was a strong testimonial from
his fellow citizens as to his standing
and worth in this community. and it
is the best evidence that he will be
given the hearty endorsement that he
deserves by the people hereabouts on
election day.
It was but meet and proper that
Governor Eberhart should have been
rendered the cordial and heartfelt
plaudits of those who have been his
neighbors for years. Most of those
who participated in the welcoming
event have witnessed the development
OF Governor Eberhart from his boy
hood days, his struggles to gain an
education, his coming from college and
entering the sterner activities of life.
his call to the state senatorship, thence
to the second highest position in the
state government, and finally to the
executive chair.
In all these positions of public trust
he has made good" He has met
up with the expectations of those who
have stood firmly by him and has
never betrayed their confidence, has
never committed an act that has called
forth an explanation or an apology.
This being true, it is not surprising
that Governor Eberhart should have
been so well received by his neighbors
at last nights meeting.-Mankato Free

would have given the appointee an
unfair advantage over his competitors

governors tact and diplomacy. It also

Mr.. James Gray, the Democratic can.
didate for Governor, has delivered his
promised Keynote" speech.
In most matters Mr.. Gray sticks
close to the State Platform, but in one
important respect he makes a wide
divergence from it. AS has been ex-
pected, he declared with emphasis for
county option, and, going a step far
ther than Governor Eberhart- who has
pledged himself to sign a county option
bill, If the Legislature passes one-Mr.
Gray promises to recommend the
measure to the Legislature.
This is spectacular rather than i'm
portant. The Legislature is not likely
to be Influenced one way or the other
by a Gubernatorial recommendation
especially if it is Republican and the
recommended is Democratic. Governor
Eberhart has covered in his pledge the
only real way in which the Governor

Eberhart and County Hafion

Will some kind Democrat or near
Democrat give one sound reason why
Governor Eberhart should have pledg-
ed himself to county option at last
weeks convention? There were pres
ent half as many Democrats as Repub-
licans, and fully as many near-Dem-
ocrats as true Republicans, and yet
some people protesting to be Republi-
cans appear to think that the head of
the Republican party in the state
should, in a large measure, pledge
his party to cause dictated by so
mixed a crowd of politicians. The
Governor did the only thing a man in
his position with an ounce of common
sense could do. His pledge to sign a
county option bill, should one be
passed by the legislature, should be
sufficient for the enactment of law, the
fundamental right and the exclusive
duty of the legislatures .-Luverne Her.
