TO SELL BUTTONS
FOR MONUMENT

The Soldiers Monumental associa-
ton met last night at the court house
and laid plans for completing the fund
with which memorial 10 the veterans
of the country's wars can be erected at
Chippiannock cemetery. About $4,000
is needed all told of which amount
$1,000 has already been subscribed. A
plan to sell souvenir buttons in an eff
fort to raise the remainder was adopt
ed last night. The buttons will contain
a likeness of the monument and will
be attractive. The sale will occur
Aug. 3 and will be a well organized
one with workers similar to those en-
ployed on the annual tag days. But
tons will be offered for sale by young
ladies, a fixed minimum price prevail
ing and the maximum being whatever
the purchaser sees fit to give.

worthy of a great cause and great
people.
THE democratic party has purified
itself and has been purged of its cor
rupt associations, so far as it is
possible to accomplish this end by the
action of national convention. But
the struggle of privilege for privilege
is amending and omnipresent. That
struggle is as subtle as it is determin-
ed. The struggle will not close when
Wilson is elected.
I'VE may be sure that every effort
he may make as president to carry out
the progressive policies will meet with
stubborn resistance from the posses.
ors and apostles of privilege. With
out loyal support from the progress
ives Of the country, Wilson's war upon
unjust privilege must be futile The
progressive cause can succeed only
| if it has loyal support from the
! progressives. 1t can fail only if the
progressives fail in their duty of giving
to Wilson their full support"

BRANDEIS COMES
OUT FOR WILSON

Louis D. Brandeis, an attorney and
leading progressive, in a statement
given out at Boston, calls upon both
republicans and democrats to give
Woodrow Wilson, the nominee of the
democratic party, enthusiastic support.
Governor Wilson's nomination. he
thinks, ranks among the most en-
couraging events in American history.
Mr.. Brandeis' statement follows:
"Progressives. irrespective Of party
affiliations, should, in my opinion, sup
port Woodrow Wilson for the presi-
dency, should support him fully,
actively and enthusiastically, for he
possesses in a high degree the quail
tiles of an effective progressive leader
Governor Wilson is thoroughly
democratic in spirit He recognizes
that all of the people are entitled to
equal opportunities and appreciates
/ that the development Of all the people
| is essential to the attainment of Am
erican ideals. He understands the
dangers incident to the control by a
| few of OUT industries and finance. He
sees that true democracy and social
justice are unattainable unless this
power of the few be curbed. and our
democracy become industrial as well
as political.
He can meet the demands properly
made upon a present-day executive, to
be able to lead in constructive states
manship as well as to administer
efficiently; for Wilson's character
intellectual power and previous train
ing fit him peculiarly to take an i'm
portant part in progressive legislation
He is courageous and frank, able anc
firm, and always open-minded, quail
tiles indispensable to safe leadership
"Progressives should support Wilson
not only in order to secure his election
but in order to enable him after cleo
ton to carry out these progressiv,
policies which he has so much at heart
His nomination ranks among the mos
encouraging events in American his

comes every year more rigid, it's en-
barrassing side. But the governor of
Indiana had no hesitancy in sending
his regrets, nor in explaining his rea-
son.
A true knight is the spare, little
executive of the Hoosier state. When
he goes campaigning Mrs. Marshall
goes along. She shakes hands with
every one and chats about anything
and everything, except politics and
her husband. She is recalled here as
young looking matron, tall, with a
well-proportioned figure, a pretty COM
pleXion, and blue eyes.
Both Governor Marshall and his
wife are natives of Indiana. They
were brought up in the state and edu-
Gated at local schools and colleges.
Their tastes are one. and their mar
riage has been described as ideal
Both are fond of books, and usually
spend their evenings together in the
library of their home, which, wheth-
er at Indianapolis or Columbia City,
is its most attractive apartment. They
make many friends and have the Sc
cret Of holding them, yet they care
! little for society in its formal signif.
canoe. They have guests frequently,
and entertain with simplicity, yet
with genuine hospitality.
! Mrs Marshall is a woman of cul-
! tivated mind, and though her tastes
are literary, she is yet keenly inter
ested in present day problems and
questions.
Brought up in too conservative a
school TO be attracted to the suffrag-
gist cause, or to take an active part
in political or other public issues,
Mrs. Marshall is yet credited with
having been a potent factor in the
