RUSSELL APPLIES
L|KC0LN'S APPEAL
TO PARTYS FIGHT
Progressive Candidate for
Congress Calls on Hesitat-
ing Voters to Stand To-
gether for Victory.
By Ebert RUSSELL

"Our cause, then must be entrusted
to and conducted by its own undoubt-
ed friends-those whose hands are
free, whose hearts are in the work,
who do care for results. Two years
ago the Republicans Of the nation
mustered over thirteen hundred thous-
and strong. We did this under the
single impulse of resistance to COM
mon danger, with every external cir
cumstance against US. OF strange,
dtscordant. and even hostile elements,
we gathered from the four winds, and
formed and fought the battle through,
under thes constant hot fire OF a dis
ciplined, proud, and pampered enemy.
Did we brave all then to falter now
now when that same enemy is waver-
ing, dissered. and belligerent? The
result Is not doubtful. We shall not
fail. If We stand firm, We shall not
fail. Wise counsel may accelerate or
mistakes delay it; but sooner or later
victory is sure to come"
The above paragraph from Lincoln's 8
Springfield speech in 1858, fits so ex-
actly the present situation in the Pro-
gressive party that it is only neces-
sary to change Republican" to PRO
gressive" and thirteen hundred thous-
and to -four millions to make it
read like an extract from Q speech in
1914 by Beveridge or Roosevelt To
cling to an organization that has long
since forsaken Lincoln's principles is
not to follow Lincoln today In 1858
as in 1914, old party leaders professed
a tardy interest in measures they had
discussed and asked the voters to
trust them to lead the new move
ment. Lincoln's reply is as good to-
day as in 1858. "Our cause must be
entrusted to and conducted by it's
own undoubted friends" To the sug-
gestion that the Progressives go back
to the old parties now, Lincoln's reply
is spirited: Did we brave all them
only to falter now?" To wavering Re
publicans in 1858 and to wavering
Progressives now Lincoln has but one
word: "The result is not doubtful. II
we stand firm, we shall not fail. Wise
counsel may accelerate or mistakes
delay it, but sooner or later the VIC
tory Is sure to come"
The true followers of Lincoln are
not to be found In the dead shell Of
an organization he once led, but which
has long since lost his spirit; nor are
they the leaders who delight to honor
him and his contemporaries with their
lips, while with their hands they deny
the principles of liberty and national
power and government by the people.

Robert G. Tucker. Indianapolis po-
litical correspondent for the Cincinnati
Enquirer, a strong Democratic paper,
in his article appearing in the Sunday
issue of that paper, frankly admits
there is an excellent chance for the
election Of Elbert Russell, Progressive
candidate for representative in con-
gress from the Sixth district. He pos
itively asserts that the fight in the
Sixth district is between Russell and
the Republican candidate, P. J. Lynch.
He sees no chance for Gray, the Demo
cratic candidate for reelection for a
third term, being returned to congress.
Russell Has Chance.
fuckers observations are based on
first hand knowledge Of political affairs
in the state and from information he
has received from the state political
leaders of all three parties.
Referring to the situation In the
Sixth district, Tucker says:
I'm the Sixth district Ebert Russell.
the Progressive nominee, is factor.
At Richmond many voters are OF the
opinion that Russell stands a good
chance Of being elected to congress.
"Beveridge had a tremendous meet
ing at Richmond, indicating that his
party is as strong there as it was two
years ago. However, there are reports
indicating that it is not as strong In
other counties in the Sixth. Russell's
strength, while 1t may be sufficient to
land him in front, may prove the un-
doing Of the plans Of p. J. Lynch, the
Republican nominee. Lynch has made
a fine race, and some of the Republi-
cans figure him to win, but the odds
are the other way"
