Why Waste Your Vote :?

The following editorial from
the New York World should be
carefully considered by the peo-
pie of Worcester. 1t is honest,
forceful and convincing:
Every vote for Woodrow Wilson is a
vote for progressive government. Every
Progressive vote against Woodrow
Wilson is vote thrown away, or worse
than thrown away.
Why waste your vote?
Mr.. Roosevelt cannot be elected As
between him and Mr.. Taft the contest
IS merely question Of which will run
third. This may be interesting. but IL
is not important 10 the welfare of the
American people. Even If Mr. Roose-
welt could by any possible chance be
elected, his victory would result only in
a deadiocked Government. He would
have hostile Congress to deal with,
which would not work with HIM. His
election would mean merely four years
Of turmoil without profit TO the country.
Governor Wilson can be elected and
he will be elected. But this is not
enough. He should be elected by a
majority so great that there can be no
mistake as to the meaning of the peo-
pies mandate. He will 20 into Office
with a Democratic House, and il his
majority is large enough he will have
Democratic Senate as we'll This will
make President Wilson the leader of a
united party in full control Of both
branches Of Congress and in a position
TO carry out all the progressive policies
20 which it is pledged
The country will have immediate re-
vision of the tariff TO reduce the cost Of
living. with as little disturbance to
legitimate business as possible. IL will
have an honest enforcement Of the law
against predatory Trusts and monopo-
lies.
II will have a free Government eman-
cipated from boss rule and from corpo-
ration rule. twill have a sane, progress
sive administration of public affairs
from the day of Woodrow Wilson'S in
auguration.
That is what the great mass of the
American people want. whether they
call themselves Democrats or Republi-
cans or Progressives. That is what they
will get if they act intelligentlv. The
way to get it is 10 give Governor Will
son majority so overwhelming that il
will be, indeed, the voice of the people.
Why waste your vote?-New York
World.

n. Winslow Williams. a
chronic office-holder, out of a
Job, has been in Worcester
County this week, trying to
convert Democrats to the cause
of Roosevelt, the man who took
Booker Washington to his
bosom, and who placed a negro
in the Charleston Custom
House to lord it over white men.
We do not believe there are
any WHITE Democrats, who
will so forget themselves as To
vote for a man who believes in
the social equality of the races
as practiced by Roosevelt.

The Republicans are saying.
ga vote for Roosevelt is a vote
for Wilson," and the Progress
sives are preaching. "a vote for
Taft is half a vote for Wilson. .
Then, according to their own
