Under Mr. Wilson's leadership, the

Is today better instrument Of pro-
gressive government than in genera

what is more to the point, better
instrument than the Republican party
promises at this. moment to become
under Mr.. Hughes. 1t has achieved a
long series of soundly constructive
legislative measures of historic i'm
portance notable among them the
income tax, the banking and currency

PATRIOTISM ABOVE PARTY.
Confronted by almost as many diff
culties as Mr.. Lincoln faced, Mr.. VIII
son has met every issue with cour-
age and a solution that is little short
of superhuman Honest papers like
the Springfield sheet recognize this
and are patriotic enough to want to

Just and so faithful, and thousands of
patriotic voters, no matter what their
party inclinations, will do likewise.
Before the nominations the New York
World urged that all parties rally to
the support of President Wilson and
thus show appreciation of his great
work for humanity. The suggestion
was not accepted by the Republican
leaders. but the Republican voters
seem to be taking to it with force
that means the triumph of the faith
full Nothing in the future seems so
: sure as the election of Wilson and
Marshall, And the Lord will add his
blessing.
An order has been issued to the
French Army to remove it's whiskers.
If such an order could be enforced
on Candidate Hughes there would be
nothing left of him but feathers, fuss
and fustian.
CAMPAIGN OPENING.
Great preparations are being made
by the people of Clark County for the
State Campaign opening at Winches-
ter, September 9th, and the occasion
is going to be a memorable one. The

County Judge John NJ. Stevenson, are
working to that end with tireless
activity.

people. 1t is going to be a season of
oratory, love-feasts and feasts Of good
things. Everybody is invited and it is
hoped that all who can will accept the
invitation. The Winchester people
want you and you are wanted to help
make the crowd the largest that ever
attended campaign opening.
TO WORK THE PROGRESSivES.
Alarmed over the continued refusal
of the majority Of the Progressives
to be turned over to the Republicans
by Roosevelt and Perkins, the cam
paign managers are securing all the
former influential Republicans they
can to visit the states that give a

gether besides sending prominent
speakers out in every district that
showed Roosevelt majorities. It's a
nice little scheme, but it won't work.
Many of his followers, who honestly
stood for the principles that the
Colonel preached end recanted, cannot
be caught with any such chaff. They
will support Wilson, as large number
OF Progressives are daily announcing.
