LONG EXPERIENCE
Candidate for County Super
intendent Of Schools on
Democratic Ticket.

Miss Anna Keogh, candidate for SUI
perintendent of schools, bearing the
Endorsement of the Democratic party
and the Taxpayers league, is woman
of long experience in rural school work.
She was raised in Illinois. where her
mother was left a widow with a fam
lily to rear and educate. The family
moved to Kansas, where Miss Keogh
completed her education in the normal
school Of that state. In that state she
established the remarkable record of
teaching IL years in one district and
left her position only to move west.
Settling in Ada county 13 years ago,
she has taught constantly in the rural
schools and has been employed in all
that time in but three school districts
of the county, the last five of which
has been in Union district, where she
is held in the highest esteem and where
she enjoys the confidence Of trustees,
parents and children.
The sentiment for Miss Keogh is
strong in the country precincts, the
people of that section feeling that they
are entitled to have the superintendent
inasmuch as her duties relate exclus-
lively to the country or rural schools.
In order to emphasize their desire
for the election of Miss Keogh, petit
lions have been circulated throughout
the country precincts and very gener-
ally signed by taxpayers and voters,
irrespective of party affiliations. These
petitions are as follows:

White House can Unite the pro-
gressives OF both parties and win. For
the progreesivees Of both parties will

who must 90 no further than the
Democratic caucus. there can be no

but In helping men, will only throw
1t away II he puts 1t in the same int
with the spite votes from Taft the or
ganization votes from the Democrats
and the timid votes from the band
wagoners.
The only vote that will count is
progressive vote-a vote for Roosevelt
and the Progressives all up and down
the line It has been nearly 60 years
since the country has seen such an
other movement-a movement ini-
PEELED by a great moral purpose. This
movement cannot lose. It is here to
stay. Until the Progressive platform
is our national law, the Progressive
party will be dominant factor In
American politics. 1t represents Il
great cause. 1t offers humanity On
this continent its only political saliva
ton. 1t promises to do for labor what
the Republican party did for the slave,
and like the Republican party 1t can
only help labor by broadening the
powers of government-by strengthen
ing the union. States rights cannot
solve the labor problem. 1t could not
solve slavery. Wilson is as helpless as
Buchanan, the Democrat who thought
that slavery was a local problem.
States rights cannot solve the problem
of conservation, nor will free trade
policy help the national economic
situation in America. A national tariff
policy: a national trust policy; a ma
tional labor policy: a national conser-
walton policy all these are needed TO
remake our economic status ana "
give men more exact economic justice.
A national party and not group of
state parties must solve our national
problem.
To vote with Wilson, and have one 8
ballot confused with spite. fear and
habit ballots will not count. 1t may
elect Wilson--but what then? What
will his election mean? 1t will mean
partly states rights; partly southern
conservatism: partly Tammany do
mination: partly Republican spite and
partly an academic yearning for prog
ress. Why should not a man vote al
for progress? Why should man
waste his vote? Why not cast IT
where 1t will count, not in one little
election but in the formation of a
great party, that must be the redemp-
ton of a great nation?
Only the Progressive votes will count
this year. No matter who gets the
majority-only Progressive majority
will be really and Enthusiastically de-
cisive.
