In a recent speech Senator

publican and a vigorous support
er Of President Roosevelt's ,ad-
ministration has denounced Presl-
dent Taft in flaming words for
his veto of the bill admitting to
Statehood Arizona and New Mexi-
co, which was vetoed simply on
the ground that Arizona had the
recall' provision in her constitu-
ton. They have gone so far as
to chrage that President Taft is
trying to turn the Presidency in

prive the people of self-govern-
ment for our Judges, if they can

Insurgent Organization.

The insurgent republican or
ganization which controls nearly
all the important states west of
the Mississippi is vigorous one
which as now perfected is being
extended through other parts of
the country in an effort to defeat
the denomination of President
Taft next year.
1t would be to the interest of
the Democrats to have Mr.. Taft
re-nominated because he could
be defeated about as easily as
any man in the Republican party
whereas the nomination Of a man
like La Toilette of Wisconsin or
Cummins of Iowa would cause
more than a substantial fight by
the Democrats, but, however,

WISCONSIN SWINGS into
FOLK COLUMN
Noted Editor Of Madison State
Journal Says Missourian is
Democracy's Chance
DECLARES HIS CANDIDACY
is GROWING
Former Associate Editor of Col
lier's Counts Nebraska, Min
nesota, the Dakotas and
Other States for Folk.

Madison, Wis. Richard Lloyd
Jones, editor of the Wisconsin
State Journal and for many years
associate editor of Golfers Week
ly, has come out squarely in his
influential paper for Joseph w,
Folk for President.
In the former Governor of Mis-
souri,, Mr.. Jones sees Democra-
cy's chance to supplant the Re-
publicans in the White House.
Discussing the presidential situa-
ton, the State Journal says:
The party in power is the par
ty that always commands public
attention. The newspapers of the
country, and particularly the Re
publican newspapers, are inter
esting themselves these days in
discussing Republican party
problems and Republican oppor-
tunities. The State Journal has
taken it's share of lively interest
in this problem and has repeated
lly expressed it's conviction that
| the Republican party is sure to
meet with defeat if it assumes
the burden Of asking the people
to endorse President Taft's adj
ministl alton by favoring him with
a second term. The only way the
Republican party can save itself
from ignominious defeat in the
next national election is to nomi-
nate one of the able leaders of
the fast growing progressive
wing Of the party. And of these
Senator La Toilette is the clearly
and logical candidate. Should
the Republican party, however,
nominate Mr.. Taft the Democrat
ic party has it's opportunity. Not
that the Democrats, as a party,
have anything specific to offer the
people, but because the Demo
cratic party is the only alterna-
tive which the people have tc
that which has been tried and
found wanting. Will the Demo
Gratis use wisely this opportunity

Governor Woodrow Wilson O.
New jersey is one of the great
est men in the Democratic party
He was a great teacher. He was
too great a college president tC
satisfy the trustees of Princeton
University. He is great COVER
nor, a clean, clear, scientific and
conscientious student of govern
ment, and a man with the cour-
age of his conviction. The bosses
of both parties in New Jersey
have been offended by his insist
ency upon the principles of. De
mocracy and the rights of the
people. These bosses have united
to beat Woodrow Wilson, to de-
feat him by electing a legislature
that would rob him of support,
and they haye succeeded. This
union of the bad is the best proof
that Governor Wilson'S good. It
will elevate him in the minds of
thinking people, but whether or
not it augments his political for
tunes at this particular time, is a
matter of serious doubt and we
are interested now in the battle
that Immediately engages us.
When Massachusetts, Repub-
lien Of Republican states, re-
elects a Democratic administra-
ton, when Mr.. Taft's own state,
through the spirit of righteous
ness discomfort and distrust,
elects ten Socialist Mayors as
many Democratic Mayors and
completely licks the gang of both
Toledo and Cincinnati, it is time
for the Democratic party to seek
with cautiont and conscience, a
leader who can successfully lead;
a leader who with the highest
sense Of patriotism can do.
In Missouri the Democrats
have such a man. At this hour.
he is the most logical candidate
for his party in the field. He has
been honored by his state because
he honored the state by serving
the integrities of his state.
He was the pioneer in the De-
mocratic party to awaken public
to twentieth century
standards of national integrity
and political ethics. AS circuit
attorney in St. Louis, he pros
ecuted the crooks and the boodl-
ers, the grafters and the corrup-
tionists, and HE JAILED THEM.
He landed them in the states
penitentiary where they belong
ed. He did not toy with sweet
rhetoric or banquet logic. He
got on the job as a peoples offici-
al and he SERVED. With the
same efficiency, force and stub
born honesty he worked for the
interests of the people of Miss
ouri through his four years of gov
ernorship. Joseph w. Folk has
demonstrated. He is not pro-
liability; he is a proof. The Dem
ocrats of his state have endorsed
him for the presidency. His can
didacy is growing. it is growing
in Nebraska and Kansas, in Min
nesota and the Dakotas, and in
the states between this platoon
of commonwealth and the Pa
cific sea; he is the Democrat who,
if called upon, to run against Mr..
Taft, will not only win, but will
so deliver that the Democratic
party will be recognized for the
intelligence and the integrity of
it's principles as is the insurgent

Two incidents of this week throw
revealing light on the character OF
