Robert M. La Toilette today pre-
dicted that the Progressive ticket
would poll as heavy q vote in the
East as In the West. where admitted
" 1t has gained strong momentum.
The response he has received from
his recent Atlantic seaboard speech
es has convinced him, La Toilette
said, that the Progressive movement
is not sectional.
am confident that the vote cast
for the Progressive ticket in the
East viii surprise even the most en-.
thusiastic supporters Of our move
ment," added the Progressive Presl-
dental. candidate.
His decision to turn eastward frorn
Omaha, Neb., rather than to con.
tinue on to the Pacific coast, as
originally planned, already has been
empty justified" La Toilette de-
clared. 4g
Momentum Gaining. 4
"The Progressive campaign in the
East has gained tremendous mo.
mentum,' he said. There Is no
essential difference between the peo.
pie OF the East and the West. All
are eager for our message.
The only difference between the
political viewpoints OF the people &c
the East and of the West arises oIif
OF the fact that for thirty years the
Progressives have centered their at.
tention upon the West" added ~.
toilette. But, wherever the neonle
pf the East have had the opportunity
to hear the Progressive messare
they have responded enthusiastic
cally.
They see, as clearly as do the
western people. that the monopoly
system is making it harder and
harder Tor them to make ends meet.
AS soon as they see this they realize
that their only hope for delfverance
from economic slavery lies in the
Progressive cause"
Wind-up I'm Cleveland.
After his speech in Schenectady
today, La Toilette will go to Boston
and then head into the Middle West
to close his campaign with addresses

Fact That Only Fifteen Were
Defeated indicates General
Satisfaction, Expert Says
BY WILLIAM HARD.

By WILLIAM HARD.
The composition and character
o. the next Congress has received
perhaps less attention than il
deserves.
Public attention has been
focused upon the Presidency. Yet
essentially and ultimately the
Congress is more important than
the Presidency.
The President enforces what
laws we now have. In the mat
ter of new laws--and of new
treaties-he can make only recon-
tnendations.
He cannot in any way himself
change our institutions or even
our tiniest statute in its tiniest
detail.
The real initiative in changing
anything in the Government Of
the United States rests with Con-
gress; and only Congress can en-
act the laws and ratify the
treaties and start the constitu-
tional amendments which might
make the United States a diff
fefent sort of country.
Prospects for Congress.
Therefore, it becomes basically i'm.
portant to examine the prospects
Tor the next Congress.
1t is said in some quarters that
IN the electorate at large there is a
strong desire for governmental
change. Some people applaud this
desire. Other people deploee it.
Applauding it, however, or deplor-
ing 1t, very large number Of peo-
pie think and claim that a great. de-
sire for a new and different era
IN government is widely prevalent
throughout the country.
This surmise seems to be only
Justified by the results apparent so
far In this campaign year. One
thing has happened which already
has produced and displayed political
results and lessons. 1870.
That one thing was the primary
elections in which the new .candi-
dates for the House OF Representa-.
tives and for the Senate were
chosen.
What was the outcome Of those
elections?
Outcome of Primaries.
A survey of them, from the total
national standpoint, shows that In
the case Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives an overwhelming major
ity OF the present members Of the
House were re-apprOved by their
constituents and re-nOminated.
The exact situation in this mat.
ter is as follows.
In the House under present law
there are 435 members.
Three members Of the present
Thirty-one members did not seek
reelection.
Fifteen members were defeated
In the primaries.
Three hundred and eighty.fiva
This. would not seem to indi.
cate any especially alert active
dissatisfaction with the present
members. It would not seem to
indicate any widespread determine
ton to throw out the present sort
Of members and to bring in some
fresh and more revolutionary sort.
Voters Not Seeking Changes.
In fact, the returns, If further
analysed, would seem to indicate
that theS voters in their various
parties are taking an extremely
calm view Of the situation and are
not particularly eager to make any
great changes either forward or
backward or toward the left or
toward the right.
Consider, for instance, the re.
turns with regard to the Republi-
can members. The Democratic
party in the present House. of
Representatives has been fairly
consistent and harmonious within

Dr.. KiImer'S SWamp-Root

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy il
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take fsr

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
20 many people claim, that it fulflls almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

Tree Resembles Map

Trees sometimes assume very gro
tesque shapes and one can trace in
their branches the outlines Of animals
or birds, says London Tit-Bits.
Occasionally, too, the monarchs Of
the forest may resemble the giants
and monsters Of legendary lore. But
not often do they grow in such way
as to give the idea Of geographical
formation.
Such tree. however, can be seen
growing in 1.-THE Lady of the Lake"
