roads to pieces, destroying industries
and driving capital out of Wisconsin,

icies of destruction and socialistic
dreams-goes to the grave of our la
mented deceased Roosevelt and there
takes, carries away, and appropriates
to his own use the word progressive
He places it on his banner, and at the
head of a motley mess of communists,
socialists, l. w. WIS and Bolshevists,
marches forth to engage again in bat
tie with legitimate industry, hoping to
paralyze the same, that he may gain
political success.
