Pure Food Politics.


If, as our Republican friends say, the
Progressive party and the principles
for which it is fighting was only
flash in the pan, which has nearly
burned itself out and that the remains
are about to be laid away, will some
one of these kind friends please tell
us, why it is that just as soon as any
candidate for Office in the G. o. P.
secures a nomination for that Office
he Immediately sets forth in state
ment to the voters by which he must
be elected to that Office, declaration
of how he stands on the different issues
of the day, and invariably the state
ment which he makes is made up
entirely of the principles and issues
the Progressive party stands for Now
if the Progressive party and its princi-
pies are no better than the old stand
pat parties why do they appeal to the
voter with these principles and what
has become of the old G. o. P. plat
form? 1t looks reasonable to us that
any candidate knows full we'll that the
majority of voters will elect the man
and he also knows that he has got to
use Progressive issues in his appeal to
the voter if he is to be chosen. Now
under the pure food law an article has
not label Progressive statements to
the voters as Progressive, instead of
hanging to the old Republican label.
which never has been heard of in con-
nection with the principles that were
born with the Progressive party.
