The republican party claims to be
the party of the square deal, yet it
permits one republican from Geor-
gia to have as much power in nom
mating a republican candidate for
president as ten republicans from
Iowa have. The progressive repub-
licans oi the nation ought to attack
this evil and keep up the attack un-
til 1t is corrected.

the democrats captured Ohio. Presi-

Democratic papers in Iowa are al
most unit in opposition to presi-
Dental preference primary because
they fear it will help unite the re-

democratic paper sees. They wanted
the Oregon plan because they
thought 1t would injure the republi-

When Col. Young takes q vote on

certain that the result will be ex-
3actly as the colonel planned in adj

about various kinds Of polls. He
took one by letter, ostensibly for the
purpose Of ascertaining the prefer

he takes is on the square. It-all de-

conclusion. The administration Of
Taft was on trial in that campaign
and the people Of the great republi-
can states that must be relied upon
to furnish the republican majorities,
wavered in their allegiance to the
party wherever representatives OF
the administration asked endorse
ment at the hands Of the electorate.
Look at the way New York, Ohio
and Indiana acted, and even Maine
"fell outside the breastworks. Yet
In the face Of this avalanche and
upheaval, Robert NJ. LaFollette. the
man who has stood unfinchingly
and undismayed for the interests OF
the common people, pulled out ire
mendous Victory. The people Of the
4 \. < 4 5aEt 4
United states. the plain people-the
men who work In the field and the
shop, behind the counters and the
mines will regard LaFollette with

now regard him when they come to
know him. and they would know
him thoroughly at the end Of q
presidential campaign in which he
was the standard bearer Of the re-
publican party. With him as the
nominee victory would perch upon
the republican banner and It would
be victory that would mean some
thing.

charge Of the Creston Advertiser
that the LaFollette movement is q
conspiracy to defeat the republican
party. 1t is In fact movement to

In the campaign in Wisconsin
last year Robert M. LaFollette met
all the forces opposed to him In a
concentrated effort to defeat him.

enlisted In the fight against him.

they don't count for much when it
