WHAT LaFOLlETTE AND PRO
GRESSivES HAVE FOUGHT
FOR AND ACCOMPLISHED

LaFolette's forty years fighting for reforms has
meant much for the people He has shunted off the bur-
den of unjust which others would place upon them
Re has exposed corruption He has been fearless in the
demands for Clean efficient government He has forced
through program of legislative enactments in states and
nation which gives the people power to secure justice He
has had the courageous wisdom of builder.
Read this record of what LaFoette and Progressive
have fought for and accomplished These the meas
es upon which Wall Street bases the claim that LaFo
late is radical"

dress congress during debates re-
specting their special departments.
In all these points they are advocat-
ing rational modification"
Upon one amendment. however
they are reticent. Supreme court de-
cisions should not be tampered with
Whatever amendments are passed
should be so timed as to insure spe-
cial aid to the Republican machine
and the interests which sustain IL.

more and Brooklyn.
Everywhere the Wisconsin senator
goes he leaves a trail which smaller
politicians take up in vain attempts
to defect the rising tide of votes
which are surging toward the Pro-
gressive party.
Only 10 days more of campaigning
and then the ballot. Progressive lead
ers are a unit in claiming that Fight
ing Bob will poll tremendous vote.
Many Of them are growing more and
more optomistic and predict his elec-
tion. LaFoilette himself appears
confident.
The Tribune tChicago), says ELECT
JONES'" in answer to criticism OF
that paper virtually charging it with
being two faced. Give the Tribune
credit for consistency, at least. 1t
opposed Governor Len Small stren-
uously and succeeded in nominating
him in the spring primaries by an
overwhelming majority.
Now it advises Republicans, if they
are good Republicans, to vote for the
Democratic candidate, declaring that
Small has read himself out of the
Republican party by his platform.
This is the first consistent thing
noticeable in the Tribune since the
opening of the campaign. For this 1t
should be commended.
But what of those Champaign coun-
ty Republicans who worked every
kind of scheme to defeat the governor
in the primaries, and are now cater
ing to him? Would the Tribune class
them as traitors to true Republican
ism?
While Coolidge appears to be the
favorite in straw balloting it is a
noticeable fact that LaFollette is a
close second and as the campaign
draws to a close the distance between
the Republican and Progressive can
didates grows less. If LaFollette con-
tinues to gain within the next ten
days as he has in the last two weeks
the election will hold few surprises
for the old line parties.
The probability of the election go
ing into the house and senate is be-
coming more of menace to the Re-
publican party every day. There is a
real probability of worse disaster
than that of which the Republican
dreams.
They may carry the election this
year; but what of four years to
come? Without doubt a strong Pro-
gressive candidate of the Johnson,
LaFollette type will be able to crys-
talize the sentiment then in strong
er party union than America has seen
since the election of Abraham Lin
coin. The hand writing is on the
wall.
Republicans are now talking about
the danger of having an election
thrown into congress and are suggest
ing a constitutional amendment max
ing such an election impossible.
They are talking of amending the
constitution to extend the presiden-
tial term to six years instead of four.
They are beginning to believe that
there should be an amendment to do
away with an independent electoral
college. They even suggest that

ma. If you whip me I'll yell and
wake the baby" In substance TINS Is
what Judge Gary and other American
manufacturers say. They mean that
if we elect LaFollette they will pro-
ceed to start panic.
In 1896 they were more bold about
it. Manufacturers in many cities pla-
carded their factories with signs read
ing: "lf Mckinley is not elected this
factory will close down." The threat
was ominous and Mckinley was
elected. large majority of the labor
vote going to him in preference to his
free silver opponent, William Jen-
nings Bryan.
Now the American manufacturers
are saying that panic will surely
come if LaFollette is elected. They
mean to intimidate the labor vote. Can
they do it?
The Judge says: IF the majority
Of the people are wise, we shall see
big business coming on pretty fast
after election. If unworthy politi-
clans have their way business will not
be as good and idleness will in
crease"
Walter Thomas Mills exploded the
Gary theory in his speech recently by
pointing out that manufacturers VINO
threaten a panic are insincere when
they predict business disaster in case
Latollette is elected.
They do not want LaFollette be-
cause they know he will not permit
them to quit, and that If elected he
will see that their profits are not ex-
horbitant and that the wage Garner
will get his share of the returns of his
labor
1t is not panic the interests fear,
but diminishing of their profits.
Republicans make counter charges
in answer to Bob LaFollette's demand
Tor a showing with respect to cam
palgn contributions.
This is the old fashioned way OF
saying you're another" 1t is way
OF covering up the consciousness OF
guilt.
An honest man will not be content
to say: You're another" He will
proceed to prove himself innocent OF
the charge.
A dishonest man or a coward wells
MS moral corruption by a counter
charge while at the same time at
tempting to cover up his dishonesty
or eowardice by much talking.
"slush" fund is a fund drawn
iiom corrupt sources. There are no
corrupt sources in the LaFollette
ranks, or if there are they are too
poor to dig up campaign contributions
In large amounts.
1t Is the people who have grown
wealthy while others have grown
poorer, or have marked time, who are
aole to create a slush fund.
On the face of the charge the Re-
puolcans are merely saying: You're
another" and the phrase is empty OF
nghtlng spirit. 1t is nothing more
nor less than a smoke cloud.

OUT UNDER FIR" OF
OIL LEASE SCANDAL
Had Repeatedly Declared He
Would Not Leave Cabinet
During Investigation
DAUGHERTY MAY GO, TOO
Rumors That Attorney General
Is To Resign Are Revived
By Denby's Action

WASHINGTON, February 49,
Edwin w. DENLY has resigned as
secretary of the navy and his resig+
nation has been accepted
After having repeatedly deelar-
ed he would never quit the cabi-
net, under fire Of those who have
criticized his part in the oil leas-
ing program, the secretary noti-
fled President Coolidge this morn
ing that he was ready to step out.
His decision followed a telephone
consultation between President
Coolidge and DENLY, in which all
the latest aspects of the situation
were talked oyer in the lignt of
information passed on to the White
House by Republican leaders in the
senate.
Not only is he a party to the
oil leases, but lie has repeatedly
defended his part in the proceed
|fngs and has declared publicly that
he believed the contracts were le-
gal and he would be willing to
pursue the same course again.
1t has been pointed out to
President Coolidge that it might
appear inconsistent to have mem
Der of the administration hold
ing the same views to remain in
office while the administration it
self, through its counsel, was NOV
ing in courts to annul the leases
on the ground that they were made
without authority of law. For the
same reason there have been re-
ports that Theodore Roosevelt al
so would retire as assistant secre-
tary under DENLY, Roosevelt also
having had part nj the framing Of
the leases.
/ The resignation of DENLY reviv-
ed rumors that the resignation of
Daugherty would follow within a
few days.

CITIZENS START MOVE
To PROTEST ALLEGED
EXCESSIVE CHARGES
City Attorney To Receiv ePro-
tests From Residents AS
Basis Fer Action

A committee of citizensl called on
City Attorney w. T. Lane Monday
morning to protest against alleged
excessive charges being made fer
gas and electricity by the South
Georgia Public Service Company.
As a result of the visit Of this
committee, Mr.. Lane requests al
citizens who have complaints to
make by reason of increased charS-
es for gas and electricity to bring
their bills to him at his office IN
the Allison Building.
MIR. Lane would like to have the
bills for the last few months and
also the bills that citizens have
paid for some months past, before
the present company took over the
management of the gas and elec'
trio service.
IL is bhG Pun pOoC - WY S'NJi -
torney he says, to use these bills
from a large number of citizens
as a basis for the complaint to be
filed with the Railroad Commission
at Atlanta. 1t is desired to have as
many bills turned over as possible
to in an effort to show that the
overcharges are general throughout
the city. Bills already in hand show
in some instances a veriation from
$3.50 a month about year ago to
$500 at present.
Where considerable number OF
persons refuse to pay these alleged
excessive bills, the question of ask
ing for an injunction against the
company will be considered, it is
declared.
1t is desired that all citizens who
have been iovercharged for gas and
electricity bring in their bills
promptly as Council meets next
Friday night and the City Attorney
