Kenyon is the Republican Nominee.

4
Marshalltown Times-Republican:
Senator Kenyon is the Republican
nominee for United States senator and
as such announces in political letter
that he is republican and is going to
support the Republican ticket. # this
is going to be an embarrassment to
other republicans running for the leg
islature Mr. Kenyon is willing to-
withdraw He thinks that the "sys-
tenn by which Taft was nominated
was crooked and he knows that the
gang which worked the system is
crooked, but he believes that there is
yet a chance for progressives to re-
form the Republican party and being
the party's nominee he can see no
occasion just now for leaving that
party Few of his progressive friends
want him to leave it in the present
crisis, as it would involve his resig
nation as the republican candidate for
senator But, Mr.. Kenyon says, he
will not hesitate to leave the Republi-
can party when the day comes that
1 the agents of special privilege irrevoc-
ably control it. Just now Mr.. Kenyon
does not propose to be driven out of
the Republican party by the bosses"
/ but proposes to remain in the Republi-
can party and flight there for the
progressive policies of that party
Kenyon, like all the other Republican
nominees who accepted their nomina-
ton before the split came in the par
ty is strictly up AGAINST It. Although a
progressive he can't join the third par
ty without resigning as Republican
candidate and he has done Just as
Roosevelt's right-hand man Senator
Rorah did, he has held fast to that
which he has under his feet
There is large question among pro.
4 gressives as to the wisdom Of third
party movement at this time Cum.
Minis and Bristow doubted it and La.
Toilette is lighting it. Having spent
their lifetime within the Republican
party they hope to accomplish the pro
gressive reformation Of that party but
the porgressives who have been nom
, mated for office by the Republican
party are compelled to stick to the
: party which nominated them or resign
: as candidates and It is not the desir5
of even the majority of Bull Mooss
/ enthusiasts that these men leave thc
/, old ship just now. The facts are thai
! political common sense ought to make
t it clear that it is nothing but embar
( rsssment and first aid to the Demo
r Gratis to be smoking these progress
r sive Republican candidates out at tbs
2 present time. If the Republican vot'
: is to be split asunder on local candi
j dates their democratic opponents vii
+ be elected and it has been the hop'

Wider Wagon Tires Would Mean
Better Roads

The Clinch Valley News has been
contending for years that the authori.
ties OF every county should have the
power to compel every owner of a
wagon to use broad tires. The narrow
tires cut up and ruin roads. The
broad tires pack the' roads and helm
rather than injure. The following art
lcie is taken from the Progressive
Farmer. Editor.
You advocate bonds and direct tax
TO keep up the roads, which is all
very good, but my idea is for the
farmer to revolutionize his wagon
wheel, which will do more good to
keep the roads than anything else.
There is no use to tax the people
to build roads SO long as we run the
present wagon on it.
Il have been studying the road
question good deal of late and the
more l see and think the more useless
have decided it is to try to have n
road with the present wagon wheels.
Our county has spent considerable
money trying to build some up-to-
date clay-sand and sand-clay roads
which was very fine as long as the
weather was dry, but when the wet
weather set in the road was worse
than if nothing had been done on it.
Now if the narrow tire had been

and know the good of it and can tbow

If the farmers would make that
change in their wagons it would do
more good than anything to make
good roads.

Good for Farmers

The grinding machine, which this

work, and demonstrated that it will
do all that is claimed for it The
claim IS that one ton an hour can ba
ground easily. The limestone is fed
into the hopper by hand, and crushed
rather than ground by an oscillatinp
movement of the machine. Not all the
stone is ground as fine as flour. Soma

claimed that this is an ADVANTAGE
The finely ground portion of the lime =,
stone will be sufficient for the i'm.

ser portion will gradually disinte-
