Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 53, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 October 1912 — The Wisconsin Progressives. [ARTICLE]

The Wisconsin Progressives.

If the Progressive Republicans of Wisconsin are to maintain the integrity and efficiency of their movement,

they will not only continue to follow Senator La Follette in utter disregard of any false god, but they will vote, as the senator has frequently voted, for principle irrespective of artificial party lines. The hope of the Progressive Republican cause lies in the stanch, uncompromising leadership of men like Senator La Follette, of men Who for the mere sake of gaining office will neither change principles as they would a suit of clothes, nor will profess one thing when they really believe another. In the coming campaign the fight is one of principle. Principles are unreal. The fight is not between this party and that party; it is between Tories and Progressives regardless of party. Among the presidential candidates there is only one man who has shown by deed as well as by word that he Is a thorough-going Progressive, with ability to do things. That man is Woodrow Wilson. He deserves the support of every voter, Republican, Democrat or independent, who believes in interested public service and desires the general welfare.—Milwaukee Journal.
