l have travelled in ten states since

cry of the Progressives in these states
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebras-

The oftice-holding machine is pow
erful, insiduous, and experienced. The
Interests are desperately determined
to prevent LaFollette term In the
White House; and their financial aid
makes the machine almost resistless.
Frankly, l do not believe in this talk
of a fatal breach between President
Taft and Big Business. On both sides
1T looks like calculated quarrel, a
melodrama played for national en-.
itertainment. The need of such an
Eaffectation of battle is too obvious.
Despite his earnest work, the peo-
pie had no faith that President Taft
would solve our vital problem and re-
store the government to the custody
of the people. A play was needed.
1t is being played.
nomination by the Democratic con-
vention can only be prevented by in
sanity or perfidy-or both. Otter
candidates are able; they have sin
|cere advocates But the Progressive
Republicans-as well as the mass of
Democrats-want Wilson nominated;
and it is the Progressive Republicans
whose votes will decide the issue.
If Taft shall be the Republican nom
inee, Progressives of his party would
turn almost en- masse to Wilson
and Wilson is the only possible Dem
ocratic nominee to whom they would
thus turn. They will not leave Taft
in order to vote for any Democratic
ally Of the Interests. They will not
desert their own party to chance any
humiliating experiment with the 9th

respect and at the same time per-
form high public service.

THE FARMER AND THE EDITOR.

land and has sense enough to till il,
makes the lot of country newspaper
men look like the last sad remnants
OF Dutch lunch. The farmer has
the best of it all around He is as
Independent as an express company.
He doesn't have to write a soulful
obituary over some peakheaded fell
low that keeps on display an exhibit
of cut plug profanity that would
make the efforts of a steamboat mate
sound like the meeting OF the Ep-
worth League. He doesn't have TO
go into rapture over the beauty of an
open face bride with a cast of cOun-
tenance that would blow out the gas
The farmer isn't required TO lie un-
til his back teeth fall out about the
sterling manhood OF a groom VITA
ears like caulnower plant and the
brain power of yearing shoat. He
doesn't have To run a contest for the
nost beautiful young lady in the

and then print a seventy-five cent
