The indications in Mitchell are that

his strength is materially increasing.
What I specially admire in the life
and character of Governor Kitchin is
his devotion to duty. His chief concern
seems to be not whether a thing is ex-
pedient or popular, but whether it is

EXPERIENCE-ABILITY-

If Governor Kitchin is sent to the
Senate the people may rest assured that
they have sent no new hand at the bust
ness, but one of experience, ability, and
prestige. He served twelve years in
Congress as a member of the House OF
Representatives, and he will have been
absent only four years. Many with
whom he served are still in the House
and quite a number of them are now
in the Senate. If there ever was a
time when mans influence in the Sen.

ANSWERS DEMAND OF THE Pro.
GRESSIVE SPIRIT IN THE
PARTY.

Interview of Hon. A. H. Eller IN
State Press, August 81, 1912.
Upon being asked what he thought OF
the senatorial contest, Mr.. A. II. Eller
said in effect:
Governor Kitchin is making another
victorious campaign. This is hard for
some people to realize, but it is plain
enough to those who understand and
sympathize with the aspirations of the
Democratic masses.
There is and has been a considerable
number of men in and out of the party
who would shape and PREJUDICE public
sentiment against him, no matter when
or to what public position he aspires-
these men always have him "beat'' until
the people are heard from.
His services to the public and to the
principles of Democracy stand out IN
brighter and holder light the more they
are carped at by his critics, or con
trasted with the records of those who
have opposed its platform and its
policy.
The progressive spirit in our party
today is manifest purpose OF the PEG
pie to have leaders and public servants
responsive. not to special interests, but
to the general good. W.. w. Kitchil
answers this demand.
No vote or act of his, contrary t.
the declared principles of his party, viii
ever call for labored defense or exper'
explanation. A discussion of his public
record will never be construed by hi:
friends as reading him out of the party
Where he leads the rank and file car
follow with confidence. He is able, tru'
and courageous; his heart is pure ano
always with the people. and they ar
not tired of honoring him.
Indeed he seems to me
None other than an ideal leader.
Who reverences his conscience as hi
King
