There is more truth than poet
ry in the following from the
Pueblo Indicator: Colonel Roose-
welt is a big man wherever he is,
but he doesn't always stay put,
and he made the biggest po.
litical blunder of his strange ca
reer when he went back on the
splendid convention of progress
ives who honored him so highly.
AS a leading political factor he
is done for. He cannot deliver
the progressive party to Hughes
nor to anyone else, and what is
more, he can never get it's sup.
port again even for himself. It's
too bad, but it is so.

One Of our g o p exchanges says
that, It's a fact of striking signi-
ticance that both of the candi-
dates of the great national par
ties this year are representative
of what is commonly called the
progressive" wing OF their re-
spective parties. Wilson was
nominated by the progressive
wing of his party and Hughes by
the reactionery wing of his par
ty. If that puts Hughes in the
progressive class, then should
we put Penrose, Smoot, Barnes,
ct al also with the progressive
wing of their party?

Congressman Keating'S Letter

A few days ago | encountered
one of the best known of Wash
ington's brilliant corps of Wash
ington newspaper correspond
ents. He had just returned
from a tour of New York state
undertaken for the purpose Of
ascertaining public Ssnti'n' mt
on the preside tial campaign.
His views were given addt tional
value by the fact that, prior to
taking the trip. he had Deen
loud in his predictions that
Hughes wonld be the next presi-
dent of the United States.
"If the election were held to-
morrow" he said, Wilson
would carry New York by tre-
mendous majority. My trip
was an eye.opener for me. l
had been sitting around the lob
bies of Washington hotels listen
ing to the gossip of politicians
and had been persuaded that
Wilson was a dead one" But
bless your soul, when you get
out among the People, he's the
liveliest corps. you ever saw.
Talk about Hughes carrying
New Yerk is all nonsense. He
will be mighty lucky if he car
ries the ribbed republican
counties upstate, but lie hasn't
the ghost of a show in the big
city.
"Of course, down in Wall
Street you hear the stock gam
blers swearing at the adninls-
tration but they don't cast many
votes.
why is Wilson popular? He
kept us out of war! That's the
answer, You hear it every
where.
1.-The democrats might as well
shut up their headquarters
right now. Wilson dosn't need
headquarters.
His headquarters are to
found in the heart of every
mother who has a son, every
wife who has a husband, and ev-
cry girl who has a sweetheart.
He has kept US out Of war;
Republicans Support Admin.
Thirty-nine republicans voted
with the Democrats to pass the
administrations new revenue
/ bill. This ir face of the efforts
of the republican leaders to in
duce their followers to present
solid front in opposition. The
democrats were united and jubi-
liant. The bill apparently salts
fed every faction in the party.
In some respects it is the best
revenue bill ever submitted to
congress. AS I have stated in
previous letters it meets the
cost of Preparedness by in
creasins the income tax and
levying a tax on inhcritances
and munitions of war.
The republicans who voted for
the bill came from the middle
west. Many of them endeavor-
ed to emascuIate the measure
while they had itin committee OF
the whole, where it is impossible
to secure a record vote. but
when the roll was called they
changed front and made bid
for the favor of their consti,u-
ents.

That the democrats of the
