1t cost Perry Sheldon two cents to
make the race for lieutenant COVER
nor on the Democratic ticket in Iowa,
This expenditure was for a postage
stamp to mail his credentials to the
secretary of state. Commenting on
this the Clinton Herald says: "This
extravaganza is accounted for by Mr.
Sheldon's recent illness, which made
it impossible for him to walk to Des
Moines and back"

THE LOUISIANA REVOLT

The Louisiana Democrats have call.
ed a council of war about the Pro
gressive revolt in that state.
They need to. According to Mr.
John M. Parker, the switch from De.
mocracy to Progressivism now in
cludes three former members of the
Democratic state central committee
and seventeen members of the lower
house of the legislature. Two Wilson
electors are now Progressive county
chairmen.
The Democrats, in their first panic
introduced two bills aimed at the re-
volt. The first compelled voter
upon being challenged, to swear that
he was voting at the primaries the
ticket he voted at the last election.
The second required that a party af-
filiation must be changed at least two
years before a primary vote can be
cast.
The purpose of these proposals was
evident. They aimed to put a hoop of
law around the Democracy and to
keep any voter from hurdling it.
Which might have worked very
well in the immediate present. But
after the laws were once established
they would make it just as difficult
for Progressive to get into the De-
mocracy as it would be now for a
Democrat to enter the Progressive or
ganization.
ITO punish political independence
and perpetuate the Progressive party''
was the hostile summing up of the
two proposals given by leading
Democrat.
The council of war will try to work
but some other device which will
strike at the new party's burst of
strength and yet leave the future
open for the Democrats to resume
their ancient undivided control.
These defensive moves show clearly
the extent of the detection in the DEM
acratic ranks. And disturbing ru-
mors are beginning to come to the
effect that Alabama is thinking of
emulating Louisiana's determined ef.
fort to give the south two national
party expressions instead of but one.

friends would certainly be paying 2
high price for lean aggregation Of
statesmen.
But it seems that it wasn't true, af-
Ter all. Mr.. Causey asks the Rocky
Mountain News to say today upon its
front page that he made no such
statement. But the News claims that
somebody made it and they thought
Causey said it during the heated de-
bate. Probably no one said it-at
least, no one with any political sense
or judgment. It's absurd on its face.
The one thing that is almost ludic-
Gus about the Progressive party in
this state-what is left of its that
| it seems to be in constant terror lest
someone shall kidnap it; every time
there is a meeting this bogy man is
trotted out, and it is gravely an
nounced that some malign individual
or corporation is trying to seduce the
Progressive party from the straight
and narrow path. It's all buncombe.
The Progressive party isn't worth
stealing; it isn't worth making po-
litical dicker with because it has moth
ing to deliver. It is dead one, with
only enough followers left to fill the
offices.-Colorado Springs Telegraph.
The Telegraph is rather severe on
the Progressives. Hundreds of thou
sands of Republicans Joined the new
party to see if better conditions could
not be obtained but it only aided the
Democrats and we believe a large
majority are back in the fold again
because in Colorado the Progressives
have fallen into rut, the kind that
befell the Denver News. The story
of the News that $4,000 had been
offered as bribe is in line with
statements made by that paper to dis
credit the law and order movement
and to keep Costigan to the front.

Therefore, it is said, the president,
