We do not presume to tell any
one how to vote, but a great many
have asked us for our honest opin-
ion and to those seeking informa-
ton we will say a few words.
The election Of next Tuesday
represents three tornered fight.
President Taft has practically no
chance to be elected. His failure
to uphold the Republican
principles and the Ballinger bun
der lost him so many friends that
he Ia out of the race.
Woodrow Wilson and his f'tari I
for revenue" platform does not in
spire confidence AMI hi, electio, ,
Is possible only by the division OF
the opposing votes.
The Progressive party has come
out on a platform OF so9ial and
industrial justice and fearless
stand for right in all natter.
while this party is con ,erei ligh'
ly, the people from ocean to
ocean have flocked to its stand
ards and there will be surprises
next Wednesday. While this
party has largely absorbed the
Republican party il should APP
peal more strongly to the Demo-
Gratis. The Democratic party has
been so badly mismanaged and in
complete control OF bosses from o ,
to bottom that fearless Dem 3crats
should welcome n chincs to Jon
move which will bring them to-
gether with men OF their kind and
rid them OF customI AMI bogsps.
not to mention pr,juiices, that
tend to bad governman'. To max ,
this palmer II ~ only necessary to
look at the management o some O
our old Democratic counties and
notice how they are In the grasp
and under the control OF a few
narrow minded politicians whose
sole aim Is to work on the pre-
iudice OF their followers white iiv-
ing off the fat OF the land.
Fortunately Siline ha hon ast o.
ficials, yet the extr,vagant eu5-
toms are here. Any Dem ocrat wi o
has his own and his country's In
terest at heart will find II safe to
vote the Progressive ti-ket. Thers
Is nothing to compel you to keep
on voting one ticket.

Second DEPUTY Commissioner George

Second Deputy Commissioner George
:. Dougherty is willing to lend all pos
sjble aid % the District Attorney, re-
gardless of where the graft trail leads.
He talked with Mr.. Whitman yesterday
for half an hour before he went before
the grand jury. II is understood that
his appearance before the grand jury
was simply in a routine matter Of cor
roborating the evidence of Rose and
Weber as to the statements they made
TO him Dougherty), and II is under
stood that Dougherty's long talk with
the District Attorney was concerned
with the broader aspects of the case
in its relation TO the police inspectors
who are now sure to be implicated.
In spite of the fact that a commits
sioner-or even more, second deputy
cOmmissioner-is said to be only an
incident in the life of a police inspect
or" it is known that Dougherty can
be IF great aid to the District Attorney
when the trail of graft leads to the
high places in the departments uni
formed force. His powers OF COM
mand over the uniformed force, even
though limited by the fact that
he is the second deputy and not
the Commissioner himself, will give
Mr. Whitman lever within the
Police Department which may be made
of incalculable benefit In going beyond
the four inspectors now known to be
implicated, and in reaching through
them for all the others, either of equal
rank or below them in official standing
whose names become involved.
This new and greater lead into the
Police Department graft has not yet
even been introduced to the grand jury
and it is understood TO be Mr.. Whit
mans purpose to finish up with his
work on the Rosenthal murder before
taking up the graft inquiry In detail.
As to the indictment of the four po-
lice inspectors now disclosed as men
who are finally involved in the graft
mesh. that is not expected in much less
than two weeks. II was said yesterday
that no investigation Of police or mu-
ncipal corruption in this country ever
before received such tremendous and
unsolicited aid as the move OF the New
York bankers yesterday brought to
District Attorney Whitman.
The story Of graft. which up to this
time the police officials involved be-
lieved would be the uncorroborated
story of gamblers and confessed ac-
completes, became through this move
Of the bankers a story which Will be
backed by figures and bank records-a
story which, as a high police official
told the District Attorney last night,
will probably drive some Of these men
TO their death. either from worry and
nervous strain or by suicide"
