She met Fred Menhard. He's a

never talked about.
A boy was born to them. He
stands higher than his mothers knee
and is learning to talk. His father
and mother were getting proud of
the way he could say the family
name.
Then came the Chicago Tribune
and spattered a smear of blood and
shame across the family name. On
March this year the Tribune re-
ferred to will left by distant rel
ative of Lucille Mcleod Menhard and
made the statement that she shot
and killed Nieman" in 1905 and was
''repudiated by her relatives"
These allegations were attacked
by Mrs. Menhard in libel action. The
jury returned a verdict of 81 dam

Four straight days this week the

Maryland as Road Builder

Maryland's roads are being accepted
BY nationwide experts as models.
The last demonstration of this fact
was given Monday when Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, in
charge of public road construction, and
Austin Fletcher, consulting engineer
of the department, and chief highways
engineer for California, called up
Chairman Zouck, of the State Roads
Commission, over the phone from
Washington and asked that they be
conveyed over the states improved
highways on the Eastern Shore. Mr..
Zouck arranged to give them the OPP
portunities Wednesday to inspect what
are said to be the best public roads in
the country, those on the Eastern Shore
where the country is level and where
no grades are encountered. The party
left Baltimore at nine o'clock Wednes-
day.
Another demonstration that Mary
land is on the map as road builder is
furnished by the forthcoming visit of
inspection by the heads of the New
Jersey Department Of roads. They

WILSON A PROGRESSIVE
BEFORE PARTY WAS BORN

Eighteen months before the
birth of the Progressive Party,
Woodrow Wilson, then Cover
nor of New Jersey, gave this
definition of a Progressive and
so classified himself in an ad-
dress before the Kansas Society
of New York, January 20, 1911:
"By Radical understand
one who goes too far; by
Conservative one who does
not go far enough; by Re-
dictionary one who won't
90 at all. suppose ! must
be a Progressive, which
take to be one who insists
on recognizing new facts,
adjusting policies to facts
and circumstances as they
arise"
Under Democratic influences
during the six-year period since
standpatism was overthrown in
the House of Representatives in
1910, ninety per cent of the pro-
gram of reform advocated by
the Progressive Party has been
enacted into law. Invisible
government" which is now max
ing desperate efforts to "come
back" has been driven from
power under President Wilson's
administration and will have no
place in Washington SO long as
he is in the White House.

APPEALS TO VOTERS AS PARTY
OF SERVICE

Comnlete review Of tn e
achievements and public service
rendered by Democratic admin
istration at Washington under
President Woodrow Wilson is
contained in he Democratic
National Textbook, which has
lust been issued.
No such large story OF legls-
lative and executive deeds, at
fecting both domestic and inter-
national affairs of the highest
moment, has ever in the history
of the country been treated with
in the restricted limits of a pollt-
ical handbook.
Upon ''The Record of Achieve
ment'' the Textbook chiefly
bases Woodrow Wilson's claim
to reelection. But vigorous at
tack upon the candidacy OF
Charles E. Hughes is made. A
multitude of reasons why Wilson
should be elected and why Hugh
es should not be elected are set
forth. AS to the former the
gist is in the introduction to the
Record Of Achievement, which
says:
This is the summary of re-
suits wrought by mastery lead
ership of the Democratic Party.
TT is the plain review of fact
which demonstrates that not
since the first years of the Re-
public, when everything was to
be done, has SO much of real
public moment been done during
a single Administration.
1T is the condensed story of
domestic regeneration, material
and moral; Of peace and clean
prosperity; of high honor for his
country won by Woodrow Will
son.
1T bulletins victory won
again and again for popular,
progressive measures and poll
cies in the face of the forces of
organized selfshness and reac-
ton, now aligned solidly with the
Republican Party and behind
the candidacy of Charles Evans
Hughes.
"Ihe Record of Achievement
proves the Democratic party the
greatest agency of political re,
form and progress entrusted
with National power in genera.
tons.
1t also proves the Republi.
can party incompetent and crimi.
nally negligent because, during
sixteen consecutive years, the
Republican party had full op
portunity to enact the long bill
of popular rights made operative
under Woodrow Wilson in little
more than three years and no
only failed but refused to do so. ,

thus: Your efforts are appre-
ciated here and should be COM
mended by every citizen in the
country"
1T has been just one Big Thing
after another with Wilson, "
says Thomas A. Edison, the
famous inventor; and though a
lifelong Republican, Edison de-
clares, Il am for Woodrow VIII
son."
If there are two Americans
who above all others have the
fame of making good in business
and of discovering the road to
the highest efficiency, they are
Henry Ford and Thomas A,
Edison. For maximum efficien-
cy in the chair Of the nations
chief magistracy, they declare
for Woodrow Wilson.
Edison admits as to Hughes,
that his capacity for hindsight,
as we learn from his speeches,
is highly developed; bat for
courage, sanity and foresight,
Edison finds that Wilson holds
the record. and. he adds, Il do
not think it a logical or sensible
thing to change to an inexperi-
enced and untried man just for
sake of a change"
AS these men think, so the
nation is thinking. Woodrow
Wilson'S majority is getting big
ger every day.
