Oh Real Estate No Cause for
Recession of Contract.

The placing of an excessive value ion on
real estate which is to figure in a trade is
not Misrepresentation that will entitle a
dissatisfied purchaser to sue for recession

agent in making the deal, and that the
valuation of $4,000 put on the yelling.

excessive. The bill prayed for an ac-
set aside and the properties be retrans-
ferred to the parties previously hold
ing them.

evidence that Moore & Hill were the
agents of Wardman in the transaction.

chaser who has equal facilities for ascer-
tanning what the market va'ue Of the
property is. constituted a misrepresenta-
ton.

party through which all who believe
with Us can work with us; or rather
We declare our allegiance to the party
which the people themselves have
founded.
FOR this party comes from the grass
roots. 1t has grown from the soil Of
the peoples hard necessities. It has
the vitality Of the peoples strong con
victions. The people have work to BE-
done and our party IS here to do that
work. Abuse win only Strengthen n,
rldieule hasten its growth, falsehood
only speed its victory.
@The Progressive party believes that
the constitution is living thing
growing with the peoples growth,
strengthening with the peoples
strength aiding the people in their
struggle for life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness permitting the peo-
pie to meet all their needs as condi-
tons change. The opposition believes
that the constitution is a dead form,
holding back the peoples growth,
Stacking the peoples strength but
giving a free hand to malign powers
that prey upon the people. The first
words Of the constitutions purpose Is
4to form a perfect union and to pro-
mote the general welfare TO do
just that is the very heart Of the pro-
gressive cause.
eThe Progressive party asserts
anew the Vitality of the constitution.
We believe in the true doctrine Of
states rights, which forbids the nation
from interfering with states affairs,
and also forbids the states from inter-
fering with national affairs. The com
bined intelligence and composite con-
science Of the American people is as
irresistible as it is righteous; and the
constitution does not prevent that
force from working out the general
welfare.
From certain sources we hear
preachments about the danger Of oul
reforms to American institutions
What is the purpose Of American in
stitutions? Why was this republic es
tablished? What does the flag stan.
for? What do these things mean?
They mean that the people shall b'
