The st. Louis Times, Ostensl-

the election OF Attorney General
Major for Governor and also
several OF lhe other Democratic
nominees for state Offices. the
Times support of these candi-
dates is the best reason why the
voters should turn them down at
the polls. That paper is domin-
ated by the brewery and liquor
interest of st. Lonis, who want
to see the Sunday lid lifted
from the saloons and the town
thrown wide open to the sale OF
booze on all days of the week,
and all hours Of the day and

can only say. Lord save the

bad repute during the regime of

I To the trusts all political par
ties look alike-that is. the lead
ers Of the parties look alike to
them. The significance of this
statement lies IN the fact that

vorite. they hedge II the game
by putting up the stuff for tie
benetl. of all the parties. so that
no matter which wins out, the

for the farmer to save few dol

hundred dollars on his farm pro

PROG OGRESSl\ES NOT FOR SINGLE


We publish the following at the
request OF one OF our auit liItcra OF

the journal has a considerable NUM-
brs on its list:
To the Voters
1t is being said by some. who are

in favor of the single tax. This is All
error, and | am desiroUs 10 correct
1T at once. There is Eot one word
in the Progressive platform. either
state or NATIONAL which favors the
single tax proposition. As the candi-
date OF the Progressive party for

into the matter an, know whereof
| | speak. The single tax question Was
loi brought before the Progressive
State Contention as a whole, and |
did not hear it mentioned among

| formed that some one representing
th4 single takers appeared before the
platform committee OF The irogrtS-
Sive convention and urged that It
| he endorsed in the PlO9r" "sSiVc plat
| form But the committee declined TO
do This, and, therefore. it appears
| that the Progressive convention
through its platform COMMITTEES, re-
| .ectCd the single tax proposition, J
am quite sure that no considerable
number Of the ProsrI ssiVeS favor the
| single tax. for | have never heard it
imentioned in Il Progressive conVen-
tion nor in :. conference OF the Pro-
grCsSiyc leaders in the state.
| houeh there may be few in'tiEid-
