PROGRESSIVES, SUPPORT
YOUR CANDIDATE

AS the campaign devslopes one point
in the assembly race becomes evident
that the Vernon County Progress
sives are practically united in their
determination TO support the conven-
tion candidate, August E. Smith. The
Progressive cause in this county-or
in this state-can be defeated only by
division in the ranks. Those who
preach such division are aiding the
opposition, and everyone so under
stands the situation in this county.
Sincerity in their convictions and 10y
atty to the Progressive movement and
to its great leaders, should impel every
other candidate to withdraw from the
race and aid the united party. Yer
non county voters want results and
are not interested in personal ambi-
ti0ns.
Over 1000 invitations were scattered
/ broadcast over Vernon county 70 mem
bers of the Progressive wing of the
Republican party, calling upon them to
assemble in convention for the purpose
of placing in nomination man for
the Office of Member of Assembly up
on whom all progressives could unite,
and urging them to bring their friends
and neighbors interested in the Pro-
gressive movement, They came, more
than two hundred, for that purpose.
| They came uninstructed. with the idea
of selecting man who could lead
them 10 victory uppernost in their
minds. They knew that two candidates
were in the field, and upon arriving
some of them learned that pressure
was being brought upon A. E. Smith
to make the race. His name was not
even presented to the convention, yet
such was their confidence in his abil-
| ity, his integrity and manhood, that
he received almost majority of the
votes cast, and four times as many
votes as the next highest candidate.
Had a formal ballot been taken he
would have received practically every
vote, but instead the informal ballot
was made formal by a rising vote
and all present except two or three
stood up and promised to stand by the
convention nominee. The convention
was neither packed, steam-rolled or
stampeded. Every man was free to
vote his ehoiee-and did.
| August f. Smith did not seek this
! endorsement but was drafted from the
ranks. His selection was practically
Unanimous. He accepted the COM
mand to serve and is giving freely of
his time and ability to tour the dis
trict in behalf of Progressive princi-
piles and Progressive candidates.
| There is but one Progressive candi-
date in the field-August E. Smith.
Every true Progressive will work for
| him and vote for him.

John F. Schmidt has on his home
quarter. few acres OF low-lying
ground just west Of. and adjacent to
his barn and corrais. Three or four
years ago, nothing grew on this
piece OF land except fox-tail and
maybe some small amount OF native
grass; at least It furnished but very
little pasture. About that time. Mr..
Schmidt drilled into that patch.
