Mansfield Enterprise:

Mansfield Enterprise:
Mr.. John NJ. Parker, the wheel
horse of the Progressive party, seri-
ously declares that the organization
is much stronger today than it was
before the withdrawal of Colonel
Roosevelt as it's presidential candi-
date. We believe that he is correct
in his idea, for the opinion prevailed
that the party was composed only Of
the blind followers of Colonel Roose-
welt, and now it is recognized as a
broad-guaged national party, that can
appeal to the people Of every section
of the nation. Under present condi-
tons the Democratic party is irwin
chile in the South, just as the Repub-
lican party in the North, and each
will so remain, and glare at each
other across the bloody chasm unit

phenism and oil other isms, calculates
