An Interesting Campaign

The present contest going in the state of Massachusetts for governor of that conservative commonwealth emphasizes enphatcay the decided vitality of the Progressive party. The cam paign which Charles Sumner Bird Progressive candidate. is conducting in the old Bay State is awakening the and the nation a realization of the need putting action those fundamental principles of the Progressive party industrial and social justice
 MT. Bird is making a clean-cut campaign on these issues. combined with the issue of the sup stitution of efficient business like mana ernent the state for the present inefficient system. The candidates. Augustus P Gardner, Republican, in law of Senator Lodge an educated interest ing but very cratic, individually Walsh, the machine Democratic candidate, and eN-GovernOr Foss who running independently. have all tried to side-step the real issues, but MT. Bird in simple, vigorous direct manner kept the fundamental facts of this campaign clearly be- fore the people, and it is admitted by the opposi- that the Progressive candidate steadily gaining and, whether he wins loses, is making a wonderful campaign.
 An amusing feature campaign which clearly illustrates evolution going political alignment the vigorous support which is being given MT. Bird by Joseph Walker. the Republican candidate for governor at the last election, and the refusal MT. Gardner. in his effort to be pro gressve to accept many of the important features of the sandpat platform of the state Republican machine. Enthusiastically, however, he gain the advantage of his claim progressive by violently attacking suffrage, and it certainly is amusing to note three MT. Birds op- ponents shout IustiIy from forum and the corner rallies that they pure progressives
 Despite that that astute politician, Senator Murray Crane, is understood engineer ing MT. Gardner's campaign that apparently the Gardner war chest is unlimited the people of Nassa chusetts seem thoroughly aroused to the justice and common sense of the issues that Bird is advocating that certain that the Progressives will more votes than the Re publicans, will probably carry the state
 One of the picturesque features of this cam paign is the flying squadron trip arranged by Charles H. Davis three thousand miles by automobile throughout the MT. Davis who is an ardent Progressive is also president of the National Highways association, and perfect has been the schedule which he has arranged that Mr. Bird has spoken time at practically every cty hamlet in Massachusetts
 Massachusetts rom the early days this union has been the battle ground for principles. In the revolution. sam Adams, John Hancock and other fearless patriots fought the fight for inde- pendence from mother country; before and dur ing the Civil war the same splendid fight made for the abolition of slavery by Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner and other Massachusetts men of that period, and today in the fight which the Progressive party is carrying against organized greed, Charles Sumner Bird, aided by of the great American Progressves, Hiram Johnson of California and Albert J. Beverdge Indiana, is carving on the fight which whether wins today or wins tomorrow is bound eventually be cause it is based on justice and human welfare
