they want to get the public swim

more than benefting the common
people. Many OF my Democratic
friends solemnly pledged me on cleo

This Progressive party is the
Joshua to take up the cause of the
people where Moses. the Republican
administration. has failed to obey, or
serve all the people with equal JUS
tice and fairness; but like Moses, the
Republican party did do a great work
In liberating thousands OF shackled
slaves from bondage, together with
many other good things; but as ev-
cry dog has his day, or every reform
and invention have a partial end by
reason of better things learned by
men, 30 sensible men reject the old
adopt the new. and better things.
This Is in keeping with common
sense. But the fool refuses to make
change, and sticks to the old habits
and customs of his ancestors.

majority over both Taft and Wilson,
and would have given the same In
many more places but for the great
array of able Democratic speakers
who were promised good jobs to de.

: any yarn they could hatch up, and
they did not fail to do their part in
the yarn business; and l am sorry tC
say that many of our people who
, were not informed, took them al
their word and walked up to the
polls on election day and cast Their
votes straight, but many of the more
informed or less prejudiced Demo
Gratis cast their votes for Roosevelt
and the Bull Moose ticket Mr.
Roosevelt, with all the opposition
against him, made a wonderful run
and all the Progressives everywhere
are cheerful and hopeful for the sue
cess of the Progressive party in fou
years from now, for it is general,
conceded by all intelligent men tina
Mr.. Wilson cannot redeem the prom
ises he has made to the people, ant
> should he fail to do so, and ever
hold the present prosperity intact
he would not be entitled to re-elec
ton, for he has solemnly pledged hi
faith that he will improve the condi
tions OF the country, give to the work
+ ing thousands cheaper food, cheape
I clothes (and he ought to have added
cheaper wages). He has promise'
also to not interfere with legitimat,
business of any kind, but to promot,
it.
Now, in conclusion, l want to re

every liberty-loving taxpayer, t.
watch the result of the incoming
