The absolute absurdity OF the claims
made by the Bull Moose chairman OF
the continued growth Of that party in
Lewis county is shown up by the fact
that the Progressive candidate for
Congress In the election last year only
mustered 234 votes in comparison with
1874 votes cast for the Presidential
candidate one year before. Yet we
were told last year that the Progress.
sive party was growing and absorbing
the membership OF the Republican
party. IL is simply the old game OF

the contingent of the 1912 division.

continued opposition is well known
