PROGRESSIVES BUY ADVERTISING

Republican Sells Space to Be Used f in Late Effort to Help Third Party Ticket The progressives have the money this year and they are spending it very liberally. Of course, we don’t know where the get it, not for sure, but it is quite probable that George Wf Perkins and J. Pierpont Morgan and Bill Flynn and that gang of .Roosevelt and Beveridge puritans are putting up the big end of it. It is safe to say that not for many years has as much money been spent by a party in Jasper county as the progressives are putting into this campaign. The Republican today received an order through Lord & Thomas, reputable advertising agents of Chicago, for a good sized chunk of advertising in The Evening Republican of today and Friday. It proclaims In big type that “Taft is out of it” and then devotes itself to arguing against Wilson. Republicans should refuse to be influenced by the people who tell them that Taft is out of it. There are entirely too many steady, honest, rightseeing men to permit .an advertisement paid for by money given by the trusts to influence them. Taft is still in it, good and strong, and will be in it to the finish, and if he goes down in defeat, it will be with the support of thousands of loyal republicans, who are proud of their party .and their leader. Be firm, stand by Taft and prosperity, and progress, and help to return him to the presidency.
