ALL MISREPRESENTATION"

n AofEh, Wyo., Feb. 1.-THE
campaign OF misrepresentation
merrily continues, declared
william h. Cadmus, national organ
Yer addressing the conference OF
wyoming Progressive here today.
They are taking full advantage of
the fact that they have the press and
the Progressives have not. Instead
OF changing their principles to meet
the popular demand of the times.
republican leaders prefer to de-
ceive themselves into thinking they
can deceive the people by false news
concerning fashions. by misrepresen-
tation OF Progressive principles, by
impugning the sincerity of Progress
sive leaders"
Mr., Cadmus cited the article by
former President William II. Taft
in the current issue of the Saturday
Evening Post as case in point, and
continued:
what u Lie.'
He charges the Progressives with
trying To create socialistic democra-
ey' when our purpose is to create
social democracy. With artistic mis-
representation he charges us with
attracting to our party indictments
who want to take from those who
have and give to those who have
not; TO redistribute the property OF
the country. What a lie?
In the past eight months | have
spoken to thousands of Progressive
In thirty states and | have not met
a man who advocated such anarchy.
2 Tor aisrreereancs in noe keeping SOL
emn pledges upon which he was
elected in 1905; to his egotism and
stubbornness in demanding in 1912
a denomination which his record did
not merit. Mr. Taft now adds such
statements. the deliberate act OF
demagcgue.
Cheap in Bar Loafer.
our party does advocate new
measures of social and industrial
Justice. now actual laws throughout
much of Europe and progressive ISL
lands like New Zealand and Austral-
ia: measures already used by many
industrial cooperative concerns in
America, without impairment of their
profits and with immense increase OF
mutual good will. Is it anarchy for
the Western Union to pension its
aged employees? Neither is it an
archy for political party by some
sane method, adapted to American
conditions. to pension aged working
men. to secure him from the misfor-
tunes OF accident or unemployment.
Nor is it anarchy to prohibit child
labor, or the discrimination against
sex. either in industry or at the bal
lot Because We advocate sane hu-
man justice to charge us with an
archistic assaults against the integ-
rity of property and the security of
society. would be cheap demagogery
in bar loafer let alone former
President of the United States.
II. a.I 10
ments represents in virulent form the
disease of his party. 1t is the eter-
nal fight of privilege against pro-
gress. Wyoming knows whereof
speak. The Republicans of your last
legislature fought Governor Carey
and his progressive measures at ey-
cry turn in the road. Had it not
been for democratic support the feet
of your governor would have been
hobbled and your state would have
made no progress. Led by Senator
Warren the Republican party of wy
oming is hopelessly reactionary. 1t
does not even put up the cheap pre-
tense of being progressive. Just as
Senator Warren's vast holdings OF
grazing land are used to keep back
the small settler. and the increase OF
your population; are SO held that you
are denied proper roads by which you
can get out of your cities. so the con-
sentative Republican party in its ma
tional policy would increase the vast
holdings of few. and would stop the
roads by which the American multi
tudes may reach the free fields OF
common justice and life"
MIR. Cadmus is well known to
most Mesa county Progressiyes.
Aside from his activity as a national
organizer %here he has been a prom
inent leader of the new party. Mr..
Cadmus spent an evening in this city
last summer in conference with local
members of the Progressive league.
The Treating speech quoted above
is considered by local Moosers TO be
the beginning of warm campaign
of speeches and press press articles
between the old-line Republicans and
the Rooseveltians-
