MRS. ANTOINETTE FUNK.

In his refusal Mr.. Robins indicated
that he would decline all offers to
match logic with opponents on the
question of Progressive activity in the
presidential campaign.
Mps. Funk is a lawyer in Chicago
and was one Of the prominent leaders
Of the Progressive movement so long
as Colonel Roosevelt remained at the
head Of it. She and Mr.. Robins fought
side by side for Progressive principles,
and she was one Of the most active
campaigners for Mr.. Robins in the
senatorial campaign In Illinois two
years ago.
Mrs. Funk now is q member OF the
Associate Committee of Progressives
cooperating with the Democratic Ma
tional Campaign Committee. She put
her challenge to Mr.. Robins on the
high ground Of public service. asking
that her former associate submit the
case Of Wilson versus Hughes to popu-
lar juries.
In her letter to Mr.. Robins Mrs.
Funk said:
'1n 1912, endorsing the Progressive
party with my whole heart, / left be-
hind me a tradition Of middle western
and New England Republicanism, and
when the end came in the Auditorium
last June 1 followed Theodore Roose-
welt to the door of the Republican
camp with faith that the Republican
party Of 1916 was in somewise differ
ent from the Republican party of 1912
that he and you and condemned, and
waited for sign that would point
the new way.
1t did not come, but events mo-
mentous in their import did transpire
and against my inclinations and ira
d11ons and against my associations
ana preJud1ces was forced in honesty
to myself to admit that Woodrow Will
son, greater than his party, a leader OF
his party, had in large measure kept
for the ProgressiVes their contract af-
firmed by them and entered into with
the people.
Il am inviting you now, Mr.. Robins,
to join me in series of debates. the
question to be resolved and the ar
engagements to be made through our re-
spective committees, such debates to
be held during the campaign. it being
understood that the resolution Of the
question shall comprehend all matters
properly at issue in the minds of Pro-
greSsives seeking their political affilia-
ton for 1915"

A WelI-Defined Issue

The Chicago Tribunes special cor
respondent, z. c. Hill, who followed
Candidate Hughes in his campaign of
the middle west, reported his Milwau-
kee speech in the columns of the Trib-
une as follows:
Throughout Mr.. Hughes address
the applause, filed to hairtrigger
speed, exploded constantly like gun
volleyS. The first burst of applause
came when he said in the principal
city of the state of LaFollette that the
LaFollette shipping bill must be re-
pealed; the next, when he said that
the Underwood tariff must be replaced
by a protective tariff; the third, when
he declared that the whole democratic
legislative accomplishment must be
wiped off the books for the good of
the country.
At last We have clear and well-cut
issue. All who favor the repeal of the
LaFollette shipping bill, all who favor
the repeal of the Underwood tariff, all
who favor the repeal of the Federal
Reserve law. the Rural Credits law,
the Income Tax law, the Agricultural
Extension act, the Child Labor law,
and the other labor legislation of the
Wilson administration, the Alaskan
Railway bill and the other progressive
and conservative legislation of the
Wilson administration should vote for
Mr.. Hughes. Those who do not favor
the wiping out of the whole demo-
cratic legislative accomplishments
should vote for President Wilson"

LETTER FROM X. S. MARKsTRUM
Bessemer, Mich, Oct. 1


Editor Pilot:
AS / have no doubt an occasional
line from I'D here will interest your
readers, and politics just now being
the leading topic, the recent somer-
sault of Candidate Hughes, as exhib-
tied in his now speeches in New York
state. where the labor vote counts,
comes as another sorry example OF
how the G. o. P of the past has be-
come but the "Bourbonism" of the
present.
In his recent speech at Binghamton,
an exclusive manufacturing town, the
now seeker for votes becomes ex-
uberant for an eight-hour working
day. but strenuously objects only to
the method, the "duress," as he puts
it by which it was obtained. And so
did the "Copperhead" in civil war days
effuse himself as strong for the I'm
ion, but opposed only to the method OF
"coersion" by Abraham Lincoln.
And but for that "coersion," where
would our Union be today?
The true friend of labor now, as the
| friend of the Union then, cares little
about method so long as results are
| had. Eight hours in every twenty
four only is the modern idea of pro
lection to American labor" and Mr..
Hughes will wake up after November
| 18th, next, to realize that standing pat
as the copper-riveted party scold and
in opposition to everything and any
| thing accomplished by the Wilson ad-
ministration of today, is but history
/ repeating itself, and progress will pro-
coed.
And of interest to Wausau and nor
| thern Wisconsin readers will come
| some local developments here. The one
time "Bullmoose" of these mining sec
tions of Michigan is thing OF the
past and he is practically, in fact, en-
tirely, absorbed by this labor move
for Wilson and his modern school
The four years ago elected" Bullmoose'
congressman, VIM. J. Mcdonald, OF
Calumet, is now the democratic can
didate for the same position and his
| success is most probable. Wells M
Ruggles, former we'll known politl-
cal character in the old Wisconsin
district and who ran for Congress
against Alex. Stewart, the second tern
as the 'free silver" republican, anc
four years ago an ardent stumper fol
the Bullmoose, is now located in the
copper country and making the can
vass with Mcdonald for Wilson anC
his revived democracy of the Thomas
Jefferson stamp. The two together
are now stumping this district ant
will take in the Gogebic range as wei
by another week.
1t is thus seen how right and JUS
tice are coming to it's own and the
lion and the lamb lie down together
under the assured peace and prosper
ity of four years more of Woodrow
Wilson. X. S. Markstrum.
