THREE POLITICAL OPINIONS.
Republican, Progressive and Demo
cratic Chairmcn State Respec-
tive Notions Concerning
Party Matters.

This is what Frank p. Woods, re-
preventative from Iowa, chairman OF
the Republican congressional cam
paign committee, has to say about the
situation:
Il believe the people are dlsap-
pointed with the Democratic admin
istratlon, both legislative and exc
outiye. II has afforded none Of the
benefits promised and has certainly
wrought much OF the damage feared.
II has injured agriculture everywhere
and stagnated all productive and in
dustrial activity. 1t has been destruc-
tive and dlscouraging and not con-
structive and encouraging. Both Its
foreign and domestic politics have
been vacillating and un-American; It
has cared for the interests OF every
body except the American citizen. |
feel sure that the American people
will show their disapproval this fall
by electing Republicans to congress
in many districts now represented by
Democrats"
William II. Hinebaugh, represen-
tative from Illinois, chairman Of the
Progressive congressional campaign
committee, said this of the sltua-
ton:
"The Progressive party is pursuing
a straightforward course, perfecting
It's local and state organizations In
every northern state and in many
OF the southern states. It has become
a national party rather than a sec.
tional party, and after the 1914 cam
pnlgn will at once clear the decks
for action In the greater battle Of
1916.
Reports from our various State
organizations largely indicate that
our delegation in congress will be
more than doubled In the next con
gress Hundreds Of Progressives will
be elected to legislative and county
offices throughout the nation, and
our organization will then build from
the bottom. upward Since1910, the
Republican party has lost 1876 mem
bers Of the lower house Of Congress.
II Is conceded by all who know the
facts that the Republicans are bound
to lose five senator's In the coming eli
ection from the states Of Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Illinois, Kansas and
California. A political revolution is
on and revolutions never go back
ward"
Frank y. Doremus, representative
from Michigan, chairman of theDe-
congressional campaign
committee, has this to say:
THE revision Of the tarin, the new
and currency law, the in
come taN, the development and ex-
tension Of the parcel post, and num-
bers Of other constructive measures
have increased the confidence Of the |
people In the Democratic party. and |
have formed a record Of constructive |
legislation. unparalleled In the history |
lf this country.

What constructive program has It

"How~much Of the great work Of
his administration will II undo?
THE American people have con
idence In Woodrow Wilson. They re-
dice in his patriotism and unselfish
ieyotion to duty. They will in the

congress to support him in his con
