Senator, sab, and as big a man in the
councils of the Democratic party of
the country as he is big physically
The Hon. Ollie, though young
man, has had long years of service
in Washington, having served in the
House of representatives for mnay
years before being elevated to the
Senate. He is the pride and joy of
the Kentucky Democracy, a great
stump orator and a wit of no mean
pretentions. The people of Maine
will be treated to his sparkling
speeches from now till the campaign
closes up there, for Ollie is consid-
cred one of the big Democratic guns
and the battering the Republicans
of Maine will receive from him is
confidentially expected to bring their
early surrender to the attacking
Democrats.-Boston Hibernian.

Kansan . Vice Presidential
Possibility for 1915, Report.
FOR PRACTICAL LEGISLATION
~Mann and Murdoch Stand for
Progressive Efficiency"
Stand for Square Deal With No
Political Fear.

= without so much as consulting the
Judgment Of Roosevelt. Congressman
Anderson H. Walters of Pennsylvania
has announced set Of Progressive
presidential possibilities for 1916 and
would name James r. Mann of Illinois
as presidential nominee with Victor
Hurdock OF Kansas. the third party
candidate for vice president. Walters
Who publishes a newspaper IN johns
town. his home town. is really serious
about the matter and has launched the
Mann Murdoch combination without
consulting either Mann or Murdoch or
securing the unanimous approval of
Bull Moose leaders.
Walters looks at the future OF the
Progressive party from the angle that
tie party must offer some new men In
the coming presidential campaign. For
this reason. 1t IL urged by the Penn
oylvanian. the Mann-Murdock combin-
alton would bring to the support OF the
ticket thousands OF votes OF men ana
women who hope for progressiveism
through practical legislative enact
ments.
3 Discussing his proposed national
ticket for 1916. Congressman Walters
admitted in Washington that he had
not consulted Victor Murdoch about his
plan. Then he added that Murdoch
would probably haul .si him over Wst tine
congressman from. the scene OF the big
Pennsylvania flood is apparently seri-
~ about the matter Discussing the
proposed Progressive ticket to WASH
angton correspondents few days ago.
Walters declared: 80 So 80,

posed to the Democracy depends upon
the attitude of leaders who might, II
they would, carefully analyze the poltt-
zeal events of the past few years. The
trend away from Democratic policies

had It not been for the natural anxiety
Of a few Republican leaders to reassert
a control which is an intolerable bur-
den to the party.
Progressive Efficiency.
"--he ide of Mann and Murdoch
is progressive efficiency in govern
ment No man in or out of congress
has the grasp upon or understanding
of the many perplexing problems of
the administration of the federal gov
eminent possessed by James r. Mann
True, he is, at times. intensely parti-
san. but ne rises, when occasion de-
mands, to the height of non-partisan-
ship. Under him red-tapism and bu-
reaucratic domination would find their
between the three coordinate
branches of the government would be
restored.
Victor Murdock's experience in
congress and his close touch with the
people OF this country would not only
spell availability, but would bring to
the support of a ticket carrying his
name the support of the millions of
voters who hope for progressiveism
with practical legislative enactment.
Those who have served in congress,
even for short period. with Mann
aid Murdoch, must recognize the
practicability. not without proper
need Of sentiment. of James r. Mann,
and the same qualities. in slightly diff
ferent proportions. Of Victor Murdoch.
Both of these men stand for the
square deal and are not afraid of
