dreds of teachers whom he trained
for their profession. We express
the sentiment of all who know him

IN ALL PARTIES
Should Rally to Support

so SAYS LOUISVILLE POST
Election of Wilson and Mar.
I shall would be Blow to-
Bipartisan Bosses.
A STRONG APPEAL TO VOTERS

The Louisville Post, in an edi-
torial across it's first page of last
Saturday, says:
The Progressive voters of Amer
lea outnumber the Reactionaries in
each party. The Republican Bosses
undertook to stifle the will of the
people at the Republican conven-
ton.
BY fraud, force and corruption
they denied the nomination to Mr..
Roosevelt and gave to Mr.. Taft a
nomination refused him by the peo-
pie.
The Democratic Bosses under
took at Baltimore repetition of
the crime committed at Chicago.
Forewarned leaders of the people
were forearmed, and the Democrat
ic nomination went to that Pro-
gressive Leader, Gov. Wilson, of
New Jersey.
That is but the first battle. The
Bipartisan Bosses hope to divide
and conquer the fQrces of the peo-
pie. Their own followers will unite;
their paymasters are without party
prediction; their one hope is the
election of the Chicago nominee.
Find out what your enemy wants
you to do, then don't do it.
Let all Progressives, all friends
of representative government, all
the foes of corrupt politics, all the
betrayed citizenship in the Repub-
lican ranks, all Democrats who are
loyal to Democratic principles, unite
in the election of WILSON AND
MARSHALL and thus make it i'm
possible for the Bipartisan Bosses
so to manipulate the electoral col
lege or the House of Representa-
tives as again to reverse the pur-
poses of the people.
