NATIONAL POLITICS

THE voters must make decision whom to sup
port fer President Possibly before have the elect
been confronted with conditions demanding SO much
thought such reaching effects Before the Ma
tonal conventions hope high that at least of the
great parties would present genuine progressive ticket
But Big Business had willed and arranged differently
They determined that both tickets be safe and
sane for Big Business.
The nomination of Mr.. Davis met with their approval
and they cared not cent whether he could appre
ciably good not Their whole interest was
tered in Silent CAL They knew progressive like McAdoo
would wipe up the earth with him and to a
stalking horse in his stead to their plan ideal
Mr.. Davis nomination fell with the effect of a wet
blanket progressive hopes. Then La Toilette
with his stalwant running mate, Mr. Wheeler and the
people began to flock that standard The that
all the guns trained that uicket emphasizes its
Importance Not half is being about the elec-
tion of either Coolidge Davis as is being shouted
about the danger of La Toilette One almost laughable
argument about him is his age They awfully
afraid that he will die under the strain of holding the
position Well there is fine democrat running
president With him who does NIT have reached
where death is at all imminent They afraid
the election will be thrown into Congress. WE'LL that
what lot of desire to do if La Toilette be
elected outright Congress will be practically certain
elect Charley Bryan if it chance he demo-
crat in whom all have confidence.
The people stand entirely defeated if either the
Republicans Democrats win this election The com
win only by either the election the La
Foletee ticket throwing the congress
Why hesitate about trying to win? Colorado
out of the republican ALL that required to
the La Toilette for President and support
the balance democratic.
1t seems to the logical, the patriotic and proper
thing to do We have given the problem much Thought
and satisfied it nearly fits with present condi
tons than other Two weeks ago not paper
could be found that would admit possibility of
La Folettes election Today panic has SO many
that good many speculatng that possibility
host admit that the election thrown into Com
gress at least continuation of the sentiment toward
the third ticket for the sixty days equal to the last
thirty and Mr. La Toilette is practically sure winner
On our first page reprinting compilation of
opinions regarding this remarkable man. We invite all
our readers to those opinions great care and
then tell US if that the we need at the
head of the nation this time For life time La Fol-
lette has fought grand peoples battle He has never
1atered he has turned frivolus issues
with MS eyes forever set the of human equality
ne mas continued his efforts through such sell
DOM if ever have ragged around personality
70 his standard have spontaneously the serted
ranks OF organized labor the cruced farmer the tire
1nendous Scripps Howard and chains of naners
supplemented by perfect avalanche of country press
w. u McAdoos brother accepts responsible position
with his campaign headquarters AL Smith refuses to run
for Governor of New York he clearly sees is
losing ticket Spreckles of California comes out for a
Toilette senator's by the dozen flock to his support
Friends the progressive tide is right this time Rio
business has ovepayed its hand and going the
most sublime licking of their life Labor and the nroduc
ing class may come into their own 1t appears to rs In
pe the plain duty of those of who sympathze with
mem 70 give what aid we to that result 1t
