THE STATE TICKET

THE TRANSCRIPT has several
times sounded a warning to the
Republican Party of this State
that the voters would no longer
tolerate the evil, Boss-dictated,
nominations of former years.
Since it spoke its last admonl,
tory words, the machines OF
the bosses have been smashed IN
almost every state in the Union,
including even so old and power
full a gang of thieves as the Pen
e.McNichol "machine" in
Pennsylvania! In fact, the
people everywhere, in National,
state and municipal elections, are
demanding clean men, unpledged
to the Bosses and the dominating
Special Interests that have
hitherto in this as in other states
corruptly shaped legislation for
their own selfish ends-men who
will serve no one but their true
and lawful masters-the People.
And now that a champion for
the people has arisen in this
State, the Progressive Party,
THE TRANSCRIPT feels quite at
liberty to assure the old Repub'
lican party machine that it will
have ample cause to rue any
further blunders of the olden
sort
We warn you to offer for the
peoples consideration, candidates
pledged to enact into law several
important measures which the
people have long been demand
ing.
1st.-In furtherance of a free
and honest ballots the repeal OF
the Infamous "Voter's Assistant
Law, a measure designed and
used for the sole purpose of per-
mitting the corrupt boss to de-
bauch the ballot.
2d.-The enactment of a fair,
practicable statewide primary
law, modelled after some success
fully tried measure like that of
Wisconsin and applicable to all
national, state aud municipal Of
fees.
3d.-The sentiment of a very
large majorityof the people OF this
state, two thirds of which already
has local option, favors the re
striction Of the liquor traffic, and
most certainly demands the re
peal of the Bottle Law, a
wretched artifice that ties the
hands of honest salOOn-keepers
who would not sell to drunkards,
and allows the lowest groggeries
to vend their cheap, bottled stuff
wholesale.
We know that the aroused
temperance sentiment of the de-
cent citizens all ever this State
will hold any party sternly re-
spcnsible in this matter. -
Our able representative, Hon.
Frank R. Pool talked and voted
for this repeal in the late Legis-
lature.
Then the State also wants a
man of brains and character for
Governor, one whose patriot Wis
ion can see something besides
the wants cf Big Business-the
needs of the people, for instance.
THE TRANSCRIPT will, of
course, await the announcement
by the Delaware Progressive
Party at its forthcoming Con-
vention of its policy with refer
ence to the question of separ.
ate or fusion, State ticket. We
wish however, to state now, if in
the best judgment of the good,
representative citizens who are
in absolute control of that party
in this state, it be deemed expe-
dent, after securing the Progress
i've Party electors, to join in
the support of unimpeachable
made by the present
State organization, THE TRAN.
SCRIPT will give such action
its hearty cooperation.
