PROGRESSIVES SHOULD BE
DEMOCRATS

Mr. Wilson received the votes in November OF
yuore than million persons who favored nc
other Democrat It is to this element that he
appealed at the dinner to Chairman No COrmick
when he urged all Progressives, as duty to the
country and to themselves, to ally themselves
with the Democratic party.
The attempt to liberalize Repubiicanism is a
demonstrated failure With it's leadership un
changed and undisciplined by the great revolt OF
1912, the organization had candidate this year
in Mr. Hughes as reactionary as Mr. Taft, and II
never stood more resolutely in the way of pro-
gress. At the very time, however, when Repub-
Iican Progressives were making their unavail-
ing effort to subdue standpatism, the Democracy
passed under the leadership of it's most advanc-
ed elements and has SO remained, with legisla-
tive and administrative achievements without
parallel
Unless the people make intelligent use or po'
Iitical organizations with whose aims they are
in sympathy, popular government must work
at cross purposes. The original Republican
party became powerful because the Free-Soil
Democrats and Conscience Wings filled its
ranks. These recruits had to abandon party
names and Traditions, but they found that easier
and wiser than continued association with re-
actionaries Their help was necessary to the
creation of the new political instrument which
later fought the war and preserved the Union.
progressive party is now in control at
Washington, and it is the only organization of
the kind in existence. The one sure way to
maintain it's present character and prevent its
own evil influences from regaining the ascen-
dancy is, as the President says. for all forward
looking men to co operate with it. AS between
Democratic advance and Republican retreat,
sincere Progressves ought not long to hesitate.
New York World.
Mr. Wilson sticks to his text. He
keeps the main end ever in view. Back
in 1911, when people first began to look
to him as a presidential candidate, he
said that the line up he most desired In
American politics was a line up of
Liberals, or Democrats, against Tories.
He is doing all in his power to accom-
plish his hearts desire; and the fates
are working with him.
The Old Guard, the old musty
crew." as one Progressive speaker call
ed them, are now even more strongly IN
control of the Republican party than
they were when they operated the
steam roller in the Chicago convention
of 1912 They are in full command
and stand athwart the path of prog
Tess.
On the other hand, the historic, al
though regenerate Democratic party,
under the Wilson leadership, is going
forward in right direction 1t is fulfill
ing its true mission: the working out
of better democracy. 1t is in truth
the party of forward looking and for
ward going men.

PRESS POINTS


Burlington Standard Democrat: Governor
Philip has lost many friends through the state
by his continued efforts to NEEDLE with the
national guard on the Mexican border. He has
on different Oc .asions sent men to Washington
to ask their release and has been met with
proper rebuze. The men on the border joined
the national guard of their OWE free will and
the unjuSifiable efforts of meddlers like
Cover nor Philip tend to breed dissatisfaction
and injure discipline among the men. Governor
Phillip seems to be working against the best
interests of the nation at large.
Chiffon Times: Socialism is as much an ex-
treme as is high protection, which gives the
manufacturer the coin and he hands it to the
man in the factory-when his memory doesn't
fail him. The golden mean is democracy.
Chiffon Times: Editor T. J. Cunningham in
an editorial in The Chippewa Falls hide Nendent
gives the railroads some wbomesome counsel

Advertising would pay, for many people who
miss their trains, return home and give up a

cases of the kind in this city.
