Mr.. Vernon seems to think that we
have no right to convictions conflict
ing with his own and TO defense of
them. That is his mistake and wins
no converts among men of fairness
and intelligence. We give the facts
Of the news in this State, in other
states and the world. We draw our
conclusions therefrom and point spe-
cific incidents. AS an example, we
are convinced that the Progressive
party as a whole is disintegrating and
that the votes of Progressives in this
State, when thrown for the party tick
ct, can serve but one purpose--the
encouragement of Democracy if not
the election of men who stand for the
opposite of what we and Mr. Vernon
believe in.
If single vote in Maine since 1912
showed that the Progressive party
could hope to elect it's candidates, we
should believe that they had a moral
right to stand by what they profess in
policies. On the other hand, we know
and are able 10 furnish overwhelming
proof that Progressive ticket vote
this year is directly into the hands of
Democracy. That is why We are at
tempting to convince Progressive
friends of the folly of worse than
throwing away their ballots.
We believe Mir. Warren's advice is
sane and unselfsh. We believe Mr..
Vernon is mistakenly fighting hope

In the above letter Mr.. Irving E.
Vernon chairman of the Progressive
State committee. asks that we give as
much space to his letter as We did to
that of Hon. John Z. Warren. We wish
10 treat Mr.. Vernon with utmost fair
ness but to our mind his letter is not
so important to our readers as was
that of Mr. Warren. for this reason.
Mr.. Vernon, from his position and, we
have no doubt, his convictions, writes
from distinctly partisan standpoint
Mr.. Warren has sized things up from
a Progressive standpoint as he believes
for the best interests of all the people.
We agree with Mr.. Warren, and we are
receiving assurances from many quart
ers that fair-minded, practical men of
unseltish purpose Of all parties agree
with him.
We have no criticism of Mr.. Vernon
for taking the strong stand that he
does. His position requires It and
he believes he is right. But we do not
agree with him in some of his asser-
tons. On others we have not had time
to prove or disprove them. We give
them for what they are worth and
what they may bring forth. Mr.. Peters
is able to defend his position and our
columns are open to him to do so.
The mere declaration that a man voted
for or against bill without giving
the measure itself and it's surround
ings and possibilities, means little. For
instance, the declaration of Mr.. Vernon
that the free canal tolls position OF
Mr. Peters in Congress was .un-A Amer

assertions In our belief the diScour-

Colonel Thomas Griffith, until
Thursday in charge Of the recruiting
station at Jefferson Barracks, st.
Louis, will succeed Colonel j. T. Van
Orsdale in command of the Seven
tenth Regiment, which is due to
leave soon for patrol duty along the
Mexican border, Colonel VanOrsdale
retired Thursday from active service,
under the age Emit clause of the
army regulations.
Major Martin. who has been in
few months. has received word that
Colonel Griffith probably will arrive
in Atlanta Saturday afternoon to take
command Of the regiment 1t is I'M
derstood that he will hold the COM
mand permanently, or, at least, as
long as the TROOPS are on the border.
Owing to the inability of the War
Department to get an army trans
port to Savannah in time. changes
have been made in the plans for
transferring the regiment to Laredo,
Texas, where it mas been ordered.
The plan Of going by rail from At
lants to Savannah and thence TO Gal
weston by water has been abandoned,
and it is now proposed to make the
trip an allrail Journey.
Waiting for Cars.
1t was stated at Fort Mcpherson
Saturday that, in all probability, the
troops will be moved from Atlanta in
three trains Of Pullman tourist and
baggage cars, and from New Orleans
by rail 10 Laredo, provided the local
roads can furnish a sufficient mum
Der of cars.
Friday night there were not more
than a score OF cars in Atlanta avail
able for the troop train, and agents
Of the roads have sent out a hurry
call for rolling stock in anticipation
Of the movement of the troops.
The orders received from the War
Department notifying the officers al
the fort of the proposed movement OF
the Seventeenth were very indefinite.
Thy stated merely that the regiment
would be moved shortly, without civ
ing the destination other than Laredo.
and without telling them the time OF
departure.
Exact Date Not Set.
Captain Bankhead, adjutant OF The
regiment wired his father, United
| states Senator Banl1head, of Ala
bsrla. inquiring the destination of the
I Seventeenth. The Senator replied
| that no plans have been formulated
that contemplate the movement OF the
regiment further than TO the border
/ al Laredo. and that the exact date OF
| the movement has not been set.
| 1t is generally believed at the post,
however, that the troops will be or
dered to leave Atlanta Monday morn
| ing. as the necessity for more troops
at the border is growing every day,
Preparations for departure continued
| Saturday. and the regiment is now
ready to leave at almost a moment
notice. The twelve companies of the
regiment, as we'll as the artiflcers and
musicians, have about completed
packing up the permanent camF
equipment.
