BY VICTOR REDCLIFFE.


The great irOn-studded gates of the
prison opened and shut and the SOL
itary figure shut out stood like a cast
away landed into a new world. There
had been two years of gloom shadow,
darkness. The unaccustomed brilliant
sunlight daZzled, blinded, confused.
The discharged convict looked down
at the cheap, but new and neat suit
they had given him, then at two I'M
opened letters in his hand. A very
unexpected and unusual circumstance
had greeted him as the warden sent
him forth free man.
Here are two letters" the official
said. 'One came year ago, the 9TH
er within the present month. In both
instances they were Enclosures, with
notes requesting they be delivered to
you only upon the day you were given
your liberty"
Irving DiSloe now turned these over
and over in his hand, thoughtful, rem
iniscent. as he walked slowly along the
path leading from the penitentiary to
the street where the trolley cars ran.
passengers. He sat down and opened
the smaller of the two envelopes. His
face was expectant, rather than hope
full. 1t contained two lines and sig
nature, adele" 1t read:

established yourself, write to me-"
His bosom heaved and his eyes
dimmed with tears as he read and re-
read the brief, screed. 1t was some
time before he opened the second let
ter. Its handwriting was totally unfa-
miliar to him. 1t inclosed S100< bill,

wilderment increased as 1t continued:

will not come home unless time and
isolation and a realization of what
your temptation has brought you have
combined to make you worthy of their
love and respect. shall always re-
spect you, despite your desertion, but
the present toll and deprivation would
be welcome rather than that you
should come back as you were-a drug

the letter and its Enclosure had never

PROGRESSIVE PROGRAM is
OUTLINED-FOR INDUS
TRIAL DEMOCRACY

We unreseryedly endorse the prin-
ciples enunciated in the national
democratic platform adopted at San
Francisco and pledge our support to
Tits nominees.
Administration of State Affairs
| Wisconsin is facing crisis. So
lcialistic, undemocratic and un-Amer-
| lean principles which have been
| translated into enactment in a sister
Estate and are now being advocated for
adoption in the state of Wisconsin
have reused CONSERVATION and chal-
lenge the consideration of all who
have at heart the interests of good
government, the safeguarding of con-
stituted interests and the enacting of
progressive remedial legislation. We
invite the cooperation of all regard
less of previous party utilization to
join us in the fight for good govern
ment based upon sound principles,
representing no class interests and
having for its primary object the good
of all.
Agricultural progress.
We stand ready to adopt any prac-
teal Recommendation that the divi-
sion of markets has to offer to
strengthen and make more effective
the operation of the Marketing Com
mission law In the interest of bet
ter agricultural progress we believe
that thorough and comprehensive
investigation should be made of the
cost of prcdu sion of farm produce at
home and abroad with a complete
publication thereof.
We favor the unrestricted and I'M
hampered right of cooperation and
collective bargaining for agricultural
organizations.
Education.
We favor better enforcement of
compulsory educational laws and de-
mand expansion and Investigation of
both elementary and secondary edu-
cation, so that democratic equality of
opportunity for preparation for the
callings of their choice may be offered
to the children, of our people.
Welfare of the Worker
We pledge state administration
devoted to the principle of industrial
democracy on continuation of the
splendid record of the democratic ma
tional administration by the enact
ment of welfare measures in--behalf of
those who toll. We recognize the
the right of labor 10 adequate COM
pensation, to participate iii the deci-
sions that affect theiT compensation,
hours and general welfare. We stand
committed to the indefeasable right of
the workers to collective bargaining
and Of speaking through representa-
tiTea of their own selection. We stand
for the adoption of maximum
working day of eight hours in manu-
featuring and its allied industries.
Changes in Taxation
We pledge ourselves to meet the in
creased cost of government by such
changes in our system of taxation as
will place the bunder upon those best
able to pay. We stand for a more
liberal exemption in the income tax
law and increasing the rate of taxa
ton on larger incomes.
Regulation of State Boards
Regulation of railroads and public
utilities must be made more efficient
