some telling arguments why he was

nearly all Progressives who supported
him four years ago are with him in
the support of Governor Eughes and

vocating more to their satisfaction than
does President Wilson and the Demo-
cratic party.

election as state treasurer. who spoke
with Mr. Martin. gave his hearers
many facts relative to state matters,
