PLAYING DOUBLE.

Now that Prof. Wilson has the
democratic nomination for president
he feels that he can with impunity
snub Tammany leaders in New York
and he did snub them during his
recent visit to the Empire state, re-
fusing to talk to Gov. Dix and re-
fusing to be photographed in the
company of Dix and Murphy. The
New York Herald contained the fol-
lowing headlines the day after Prof.
Wilson visited New York:
Governor Wilson Snubs C. F.
Murphy at State Fair; Chills Mr..
Dix's Hopes-Democratic President
ial Nominee at Syracuse Evades
Tammany Attentions and Tells Com
mittee That a Strong Progressive
Must Be Named
Prof. Wilson has not always felt
so towards Tammany. Only last
July he wrote as follows in response
to an invitation to attend a celebra-
ton given by Tammany:
81 think it must be matter OF
congratulation on the part of all
lovers of America that the Society
of Tammany should, through SC
many years, have maintained its
celebration of the anniversary which
is crowded with so many memories
of the inspiring kind, not only for
the people of the United States but
for the people of the world. 1t is up.

EnR REVENGE.

There had been considerable diff
ference of opinion among the COM
mittee as to the advisability of this
course (the nomination of a state
ticket) until Senator Kenyon's de-
cision to stick to Taft and the entire
republican ticket was announced,
while the committee was in session,
and the sentiment instantly crystal
lied into a unanimous decision to
cut loose from all semblances of adj
herence to any candidates whatever
on the republican ticket.-Suther-
land Courier.
So the committee decided to put a
state ticket in the field merely be-
cause it was angered at Senator
Kenyon, did it? Geo. w. Clarke and
the other candidates nominated by
the votes of the people must be sac
rificad merely because Senator Ken
yon had the courage to state his po-
sition like man and that position
did not happen to suit the state
committee. Talk about principle!
Revenge is the word! The Suther-
land paper Is the only one in Iowa,
so far as the Freeman-Tribune
knows. that is supporting Roosevelt
and wanted state ticket in the
field, hence it may be presumed that
it speaks from a knowledge Of the
facts in the matter referred to.

WILL GO MARCHING ON.

Some people, and especially many
Of the politicians, have little con-
ception of the real meaning OF the
so-called progressive movement in
our national politics. The slogan Of
the square deal in governmental af-
fairs in the last analysis is the
human cry Of the brotherhood Of
mans one of the great movements
which has come as a result of the
onward march and evolution OF our
Christian civilization. Whether
Taft, Wilson or Roosevelt is elected
president in November, does not ser
iously matter as to the final success
of this evolutionary process in polit-
ical affairs. The result OF the COM
ing election may retard or hasten
the cause for the time being, but
the policies which are desired BY a
large majority of the American peo-
pie are bound to be put into effect
sooner or later.
No president can stop it, even If
he SO desires, much less senators or
congressman. The large moneyed
interests which seek special privi-
leges In governmental legislation
will be futile in opposing the square
deal-the principle of Righteousness
and justice and helpfulness In con-
Quoting the government which
should be extended to all our citi-
.ens-rich or poor, weak or strong
the principles the American peo-
lie are now demanding in their pub
ic servants as they never have de-
handed them before. He who sneen

A DISCOVERY.

The Freeman-Tribune has been
carefully watching it's exchanges
since the progressive state conven-
ton to discover Roosevelt newspa-
per that is also supporting the pro-
gressive state ticket and it has fin
ally been rewarded with success.
The Courier, published at Suther-
land, O'Brien county, is doing that
very thing. Now the search will
begin for No. 2.
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1912-09-24

teen years and who now feels like
standing by the ticket the people
not convention-nominated by
majorities ranging from 10000 to
10000 majority. 1t is plain to SEN
ator Cummins and other astute Pc
litical leaders that the movement
for third party state ticket lie
movement to defeat Senator Kenyon
and elect a democrat.
If Mr.. Della will name the several
men in this city that declared they
would not support Roosevelt unless
a third ticket were placed in the
field the chances are he will name
opponents to Kenyon whose chief
desire is to defeat that gentleman.
The average progressive repubif-
can believes that the movement for
a third party ticket in Iowa is the
result of the activity of republicans
who are disappointed Office seekers.
The chief Snstigator in the move
ment here in Webster City was not
for Roosevelt until some weeks af-
ter the nomination of Taft and un-
til after the Iowa delegation refused
to support him for federal posi-
ton. The Freeman Tribune has all
ways been a Roosevelt paper. It has
no axes to grind, no favOrs to ask.
and it proposes to speak it's mind
freely upon the indefensible action
of the politicians in the progressive
movement in trying to defeat pro-
gressive leaders not only in Iowa
but in Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska
and other states merely because
they will not pledge support te
Roosevelt when they were nominal
ed in republican primaries.
If Mr.. Della will get out among
the Roosevelt supporters In the
northern part of Hamilton county
he will find the sentiment against
the third state ticket almost unani-
nous and he will also find that
many former enthusiastic Roosevelt
supporters have lost their zeal and
are now Indifferent
There is little doubt but that the
state ticket will cost Roosevelt 25,-
900 votes in Iowa That is not alone
the Judgment of the Freeman-Trib-
une, but it is also the Judgment Of
Senator Cummins.
Here are couple of clippings
from Roosevelt papers that are pat:
Marion Register: 1t is a safe bet
that the Sd state ticket in Iowa will
not receive ten per cent of the
Roosevelt vote. 1t ought not to be
one third that many.
Cedar Falls Record: The solici-
tude of the democratic Waterloo
Times-Tribune for the third county
ticket Is 1aughable indeed. With
cartoons and editorials roasting
Roosevelt to turn the political
manipulation department devotes
ten hours day in encouraging the
nomination of as many tickets as
will materially assist in electing
democrats. VIII the people fall for

so WAS JUDGE STEVENS.

How the Progressive state con-
vention at Des Moines last week
came to nominate E.. ]. Stason, OF
Sioux City, for supreme court judge
rather "gets our goat" as Stason
has all along been very active In OPP
position to the placing of state
ticket in the field, and was the mem
Der Of the resolutions committee
elected in the first state convention
in opposition to this writer's hard
fight to get man chosen who would
favor the state ticket plan. If it
was done as a joke, it is surely one
on Stason, but if the gentleman has
been converted to the straight party
idea, the Courier welcomes him to
the ranks with a hearty good will.
Sutherland Courier.
Judge Stevens, the progressive
nominee for governor, was also OPP
posed to putting state ticket IN
the field up to within very short
time of the assembling of the state
convention. In fact nearly all pro-
gressives, except the down-and-outs
the gentlemen who had been un-
able to land jobs in the republican
party-were against third ticket
until outside influences got busy and
converted them.
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1912-09-24

There seems little doubt but that
Roosevelt will carry California, Ne
braska, Minnesota, Oregon, Illinois,
South Dakota, PENNSYLVANIA and
Kansas, with fighting chance in
the other republican states. But if
he carries only these states it will
defeat Taft. Moreover, the split will
take from Taft such states as New
York, New Jersey, Massachusetts,
Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire
Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and North
Dakota From any viewpoint the
reelection of the president seems
out of the question. The fight is
really between Roosevelt and Wilson
and a majority of voters will prob.
ably see it that way before election
day. y~s@s

OUCH.

The Iowa bull moosers have nom
mated state ticket by the back
room-caucus-c method
which they have condemned for
years for the purpose Of defeating
the candidates who were nominated
under the provisions of statewide
primary election law, which for
years they have loudly campioned.
-Des Moines Capital.
Such criticism as the foregoing
hurts, because it is the truth and is
deserved The action of the progress
sive party in nominating a third
ticket in this state is indefensible
from every point of view. In the
first place, it was shown by the mass
meetings held in the different parts
of Iowa that the rank and file Of the
Roosevelt following were opposed to
it. Second, the fact that 1t was
deemed necessary for Medill McCor-
mick to come to Iowa from Chi
cago to influence delegates to favor
a state ticket smacks of boss dicta-
ton and cannot be endorsed by al
tree people nor explained away by
he few politicians who wanted a
bird ticket for causes best known
o themselves. Third. Nine-tenths

THAT THIRD TICKET.

Editor Tribune: l see
the Freeman-Tribune quoted in the
Register and Leader as follows: ut
is our deliberate judgment that the
third party state ticket in Iowa will
cost Roosevelt at least $4,000 votes.
That may be sufficient to give the
state to Wilson"
1t seems to me that yours, and
the Times-Republican are the only
two papers in the state that can't
forget, but must be continually rap
ping at the third party state ticket
idea. We know that in the start as
well as now, you were opposed to
the third ticket idea. But mas
much as some six or seven hundred
delegates to the state convention,
some going instructed for, some in
structed against, and others not in
structed at all, saw fit to place a
state ticket in the field by major
ity vote of three to one, think it
is time for you fellows that are pre-
tending to be Roosevelt followers to
get your shoulders to the wheel and
push, instead of trying to pour wat
er on the proposition as such quota
tions as the above tend to do. Such
conjectures are merely guess work
and with no foundation at all. You
fail to see the other side of it, I
can mention several men in your
own city, that declared that they
would not vote for Roosevelt # that
was all there was to be to the new
party. The only thing left for the
progressives to do, il we are going
to follow Roosevelt at all, is to fol-
low him all the way. The main OBJ
ject of the state ticket being to give
birth to the new party, and the
primary object, to get the goats Of
some of these Standpatters at heart
that were nominated at our last
primaries under the progressive
cloak. r. w. Della.

According to what seems reliable
