"Rrluhten Iris Corner

"Brighten the Corner Where You
Are" is one of the songs OF the great
Sunday campaign II has its applica-
ton to the present political situation.
When the political historian comes
to account for the fact that Poindex-
ter, a Progressive who was showed
out Of the way by the standpatters,
carried Washington by $4,000 for the
! u S. Senate, and at the same time
| Wilson carried the state by 10000:
| that LaFollette was elected to the
Senate by the largest majority ever
given in the state of Wisconsin; that
Capper, liberal Republican, carried
Kansas by 10000 for governor while
| Wilson had 10000 lead; that Johnson
! carried California for Senator by
100000 while Wilson had the state by
5000, it must be written that the
election was lost to Hughes because
the Old Guard undertook to run the
campaign and to ignore and humiliate
the men who dared to stand against
the rottenness of 1912.
In California, the standpat leaders,
while acting for Hughes, openly OPP
posed Johnson. They would not per
NIT a Progressive to get near the
nominee so bitter was their hostility.
No man of liberal tendencies was al
lowed to have a word TO say as to the
campaign About the same attitude
was taken in this state by the gang
of little politicians who are running
the state.
The past election has shown the
people that the great West is truly
progressive. Standpatism is dead.
Its opponents must be driven out of
public life. If this is not done, and
the incoming governments of the var
ious states refuse to recognize the
progressive element and the prin-
ciples for which it stands, the Repub-
lican party will be out of power in the
nation for a generation. Woodrow
Wilson is working a miracle. He is
making the Democratic party progress
sivc
Now majority of the men who
are liberal thinkers prefer to affiliate
with the Republican party because
they went out from that party. and
still believe that it can be made an
organization of progress. Let the in
coming administration in this state
show the way to reunite the factions
of the once great party of Lincoln.
Gov. Gates was appealed to to do just
that thing, but he passed the oppor-
tunity without action because OF pres
sure, and Immediately proceeded 70
appoint men to Office who were obnox.
ious to the progressives of the state.
We have great confidence in Gov
elect Graham aud we honestly be-
lieve he will do all he can to brighten
this particular corner OF the United
States. ~-Londonderry Sitter
