LINDSEY our For WILSON,

Ben Lindsey, the lighting judge ofeDsnNsr, charac-
terizes as ridiculous claim OF the republican ma
onaI committee, that cent Of the progress
ses of colorado have returned to the republican party
under the harmonizng influence of Mr-Gharles T.
Whews' candidacy. ON the contrary Judge Lindsey
saws that the republicans get break in the
distribution of the progressive Colorado, and
he added with emphasis its a cnch for Wilson IN
Colorado
Judge Lindsey. who is one of the leading progres-
sves the country and who urged by Gov. Hiram
johnson Of California as Col Roosevets running mate
as the presidential candidate of the progressive
party in 1912 has given this statement:
1T is beyond me to understand how any sin
cere believer the principles of the progress
sive party as enuncated in the platform of
ls1. can support the candidacy of Hughes
lWhews). He is aligned with the reacuonary
influences OF the republican party and the
stand pat bosses whose conduct was responsible
FOR the birth of the progressive party The
enort to elect Mr.. hughes Cwhews) is eff
fort TO tur the government over to the same
old crow. "a the progressives west Will
not be paI to any such scheme
The situation Colorado typical
Steve. otherwise A. NJ Stevenson, is in control
of the republican campaign-'Ris steve who
stands for an that is bad in politics is in charge
the hsht TO elect Air. Hughes CVvhews). who
is supported also by the Guggenheim and
Rockefeller interests.
Everybody in Colorado knows Edward p
Costigan, who was twice the gubernatoriaI can
didate Of the progressive party. He is a lead
er the ranks of the progresstves and ne
AGAINST air Charles Evans Hughes Cwhews)
for the presldeRcy-he is strongly against him
I expect him to support Pres't Wilson and he
will prove a tower OF strength. Mr. Costigan,
like other progressfves. is not deceived by the
candidacy OF Mr.. Hughes CWhewsj any more
than he is about the blatant claims of the
republican managers that ninety per cent of
the prosresslves have returned 10 the republ-
can party.
1T is a cinch that Pres't Wilson will carry
Colorado He is stronger than his party with
the voters of the state. He has tremendous
strength with the independents and progress
syes and with AN classes OF people generally.
The people are prosperous they are happy and
the country is at peace. The progressiyes. es-
peciaIy. realize and appreciate that under the
presidents administration many legislative
enactmeuts and reforms for which the pro-
gressive party stands are accomplished facts.
There are. in fact. many republicans who
mire the course Of the president and who con-
denim the republican leadership OF Colorado
who Will vote for Mr.. Wilson as against Mr..
Hughes Cwhews)."
Judge Lindsey true TO his reputation is not afraid L
talk He just one of thai socaIled silent vote o
the country that the republicans have been countin
upon. ne anally boiled over. He follows Amo
Pinchot Harry A. Garfield and numerous others Tn
nrs thing the republicans know their false claim to tn
silent vote viii drive it out solid FOR the president
It's coming.
