The people are entitled to facts upon which to make up their minds, par ticularly in regard to the great ques- tions and the issues confronting them, ing people in growing numbers reach conclusions in spite of the press
 ''1t is probably true that the great majority of the people of the state of views and would pursue a progressive course in matters of government if the sFaDaortunity was presented to them. A great many people are for Roosevelt and more will be for him because they believe in the principles with which his name and life work have become identified Thohsands have left the ranks of the Republican party; thousands more will leave be- cause of disgust and distrust; thou

 Roosevelt and F'linn are all right, but it would bring to mind another pie
 ture that isn't all right-one seen
 here for years-and wildly at Chicago
 last June. The picture: Clark and
 Roraback-or Roraback and Clark there is a pair! Clark is capitalizing an old newspapers prestige and power
 for his own purpose, and Roraback is using the money gotten together by
