TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. IL
THE progressive sentiment is very
pronounced all over the western and
southern states, and there is no doubt
that SO far as Roosevelt and Taft are
concerned the latter is entirely out
of the race declared Eugene v. Debs,
socialist candidate for president, to-
day.
THE old Bourbon democracy found
ed on prejudice and the republican
party, bossed by office-holders, are
facing the hardest shake up In their
history. The progressives in the
south are strong. OF the republican
party there is but shell and large
inroads have been made in the demo
cratic pa v. This progressive senti
ment is bound to tell at this election,
and the solid south Of other years
looks to be doomed"
