A GREAT FUTURE

last night bearing Upon the election and
the future Of the Progressive party. I'M
line with previous expressions Of his
own and Of his colleagues. he reiterated
that the Progressive party has come

He regards the party's showing In
polling more than 100000 votes in the
face of numerous obstacles naturally
in the path of new movement as 'lit-
orally unparalleled in the history Of
free government"
The statement follows:
II congratulate the Progressives Of
the country. That is, I congratulate
those good men and women who. with
sincerity Of purpose for the common
good, had the vision to look into the
coming years and see what the future
has for us who work in this fight.
What the Progressive party has
done since the theft of the Republican
organization by the Republican bosses
at Chicago last June is literally unpar-
alleled in the history of free govern
ment, worked under Republican insti-
tutions. Three months have gone since
a few hundred earnest men and women
gathered to found the new Progressive
party.

THE most serious problem the Fai
Association has to contend with Is
that of transportation. Thursday, this
matter received united condemnation
by hundreds present because many Of
the motor cars charged so cents each
way Women came with only
enough to pay the usual twenty-five
cent trip fare to discover they did
not have the money required to pay
the fifty-cent rate. One year The
Alton ran shuttle trains over the
South Branch to the grounds. Per.
haps some arrangement could be
made next year with the railroad
for similar transportation. Unques-
tionably, the crowds would be larger
II the cost of reaching the grounds
did not become excessive. The Fair
Association could make arrangements
with the railroad. no doubt, provided
they would make guarantee The
motor car owners say outside of the
$35 license they pay for days, the
expense OF running Thursday was un
ually heavy especially ais most Of the
machines ruined rear tires, which
means lors of $40 tire. With a
clnder walk from the Alton tracks to
the Grandstand at the Fair Grounds,
the railroad would do well at five or
len cents each way, running train
every 80 minutes.

The County Court ordered a war

out Of the Special Road and Bridge
fund for two concrete culverts. Mr..
Johnson had two made near his Co

was $4oO. According to the road
law, he was entitled to get back a
certain portion and consequently the
5000 was allowed of which 100000
comes from the State and 500 from
he County. f
Last year Audrain spent $500 on
PERMANENT good roads. The county
gets one-half back from the state, or
