finally came TO believe that whenever
he said thing, 1t was SO.

gressive. 1t is true that my enthus-
iasm for some of the planks of the
Progressive platform was SO moderate
that had no trouble in controlling 1t.
I was not scared to death by the pro-

of our Republican friends seemed to
be, but had my reasonable doubts.

leadership af the Progressive party
and l tried to be loyal to the organ

Of the party was beginning to crumble.
The Progressive party had to keep
growing or go out Of business. The
logic of events restored the Republt-

NO TIME FOR A CHANGE.

For his success in keeping this
country out of war, President
Woodrow Wilson is due debt of
everlasting gratitude from the
people of the United States.
Few will ever know the trying
hours he has spent in bordering
over the momentous questions
daily arising. And, it must be
added, the officials and public
men who have backed him up by
counsel and other assistance are
to be equally congratulated.
The fact that he has had almost
unanimous support from men,
bers of Congress was a great
help to Mr.. Wilson. AS the sit
/
uation has daily become more
complicated, the more imper-
alive is it that he should have
the same friends and supporters
in Congress and his official fam
lily. No member of the House
has been more loyal to President
Wilson than has our represent
ative, Harvey Helm, and we
doubt if there IS a member of
Congress who is more ready and
willing to support the President.
AS the country is right now in
the midst of one of the most
critical conditions in it's history,
we fail to see how any one can
for a moment consider the idea
of making a change. Mr..
Helm is thoroughly familiar with
every detail of our relations
with foreign countries. He has
his convictions and is brave
enough to assert them, but we'll
balanced enough to never go off
half-cocked and vote to plunge
the country into complications
from which it would never in
this generation recover. All the
talk about defeating Mr.. Helm
is absurd, and it is fortunate for
this Congressional district that
he will be not only re. nominated,
but reelected. -Danville Mes
