Embarrassment in New York.
The situation in New York
State is equally alarming to Mr..
Hughes campaign managers.
There Governor Whitman, ig-
noring the regular Republican
organization, has opened up in
dependent campaign headquar-
ters; and the primary fight for
United States Senator between
VIM. N. Calvin and Robert
Bacon has further disrupted the
party. Further embarrassment
has been caused in New York
State by the announcement of
the New York Tribune, which
boasts Of its history of fifty
years as a Republican journal,
that it would bolt the renomina-
nomination of Governor Whit
man, who it will be recalled led
the fight for Mr.. Hughes nmina-
ton at Chicago and made the
speech placing his name before
the Republican Convention.
Commenting upon the stitua-
ton in New York state, the New
York Herald, which is support
ing Hughes, announced that the
Republican managers admitted
that the Progressives were
slipping away" from Mr..
Hughes.
A contrast to the Progressive
revolt and fractional strife within
the Republican ranks is furnish
ed by the vigorous campaign
which cambridge Colby is con-
Quoting in Maine in behalf of
President Wilson as zone of the
sincerest and soundest Progress
ives" and propounded this ques-
ton to his audiences: "How can
any true Progressive hesitate
to support President Wilson for
reelection in the face of this
impressive and illustrous record
of consistent devotion to the
ideals Of Progressives? :"

How to Give Good Advise.

The way to give advise is to
set a good example. When others
see how quickly you get over
your cold by taking Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy they are
likely to follow your example.
This remedy has been in use for
many years and enjoys an ex-
cellent reputation. Obtainable
everywhere.

Constipation the Father of Many
Ills.
Of the numerous i'll that affect
humanity a large share start
with constipation. Keep your
bowels regular and they may be
avoided. When a laxative is
needed take Chamberlain's Tab
lets. They not only move the
bowels but improve the appetite
and strengthen the digestion.
Obtainable everywhere.

Attempted Alliance.

Attempted Alliance.
From California to Maine the
Progressives are now in open re-
volt against the domination of
the Hughes presidential candi-
dacy by reactionary Republi-
cans. The break between the
Progressives and Republicans
which started in California has
swept to the east and is now a
menacing actually which is con-
founding the Hughes campaign
managers. Uprisings against the
present campaign methods of
the Old Guard Republican organ
ization of alarming proportions
have broken out in practically
every western state visited by
Mr.. Hughes upon his present
tour.
Within the past few weeks the
split which had been develop
ing in the east has become wide
open in Pennsylvania, Delaware,
and New York; and during the
past few days cambridge Colby,
Of New York, one of the fore
most Progressives of the nation,
has been stamping the state of
California with a stirring mes
sage to the Independents and
Progressives of that state in
support of President Wilson's
reelection.
Colorado Progressives COM
plain that they are being ac-
corded the same kind of treat
ment which was melted out to
Governor Johnson of California.
to wit: that they were excluded
from all official participation in
the Hughes speechmaking tour
of that state. Angered by the
attitude of the stand-pat Re-
publican machine, Governor
Carlson, candidate for renomina-
ton as a Progressive Republi-
can, refused to attend the
Hughes meeting in Denver.
PrOgressives Think for Them
selves.
= Commenting upon the treat
ment being accorded the Pro
. gressives by those in charge of
l Mr.. Hughes presidential candi-
dacy, the Los Angeles Tribune
sums up the situation in this
fashion:
For some time it has seemed
quite certain that our reaction
r airy friends and brethren could
| not be happy with the Progress.
ives either in or out of the Re.
publican party. With the Pro.
/. g%ressives in the Republican
party the reactionary element
constitutes a decided minority
and the Progressives are not
tolerant of dictation by the old.
time bosses. Citizens holding
progressive ideals have acquir.
ed the habit of thinking fol-
themselves and are not easily
led, commanded, controlled, ca.
joled or fooled.
In Pennsylvania the oper
break was largely precipitateC
by an editorial in the Philadel
phia Inquirer, a pronounced
Hughes supporter, which charg
ed the Progressive party o.
-
California with stealing the Re
publican party in 1912 and &C
cusing Governor johnson O
now posing as a Republican
and as such allowed to contes
for the senatorial nomination
in California. To this attacl
the Philadelphia North Ameri
can (Progressive) retorted wit
an editorial unsparingly con
demning Mr.. Hughes attitud
toward Progressives and de
handing that the Republiea
candidate tell the voters of tn
country what he means nv hi

BUILD CONCRETE ROAD
Plans for Highway in Mississippi County are Approved-Cost
 is 20 Gents an Acre.

Blytheville, Sept. 22-The plans and specifications for the 32-mile concrete road out of Blytheville have been received from the state high way department at Little Rock, as approved, and the work of securing signatures for the road has started The road will extend east from Blytheville to Armorell and Garfield thence in a northernly direction to the state line near Huffman, thence east to Yarbro and south to this city, covering 32 miles of the richest part of this county.
