PROGRESSIVE PARTY COLUMN,

All matter appearing under this head is paid for at advertising rates, and The Democrat assumes no responsibility therefor.

WILLIAM H. ADE

Progressive Candidate for Congress. Whom do you wish to represent you in Congress? Ask your party paper to print the life and record of it’s candidate for congress, and tell how he stands on the tariff and tariff commission, on the elimination of saloons from politics, on national prohibition, on equal suffrage, on a child labor law, on better rural credits, on a minimum wage for women, on protection to working men. If you wish to know how William 11. Ade stands on any question ask him by letter or by newspaper. He will answer. William H. Ade stands for a protection tariff and a tariff commission .that will be for the best interests of Business, the Farmer and the Laboring Man. Remember that you can vote direct for Albert J. Beveridge for the United States Senate. Republican and Democratic papers are slow to spread the news that you vote direct for Senator this year. Hundreds of Democratic farmers are joining the Progressive party and are making a special fight to elect Will Ade to Congress and Albert J. Beveridge to the Senate. They are doing this because Beveridge and Ade are right on the Tariff. The citizens and also the politicians of the Tenth District are seeing and talking of the drift of voters to the Progressive party. If it keeps up it will result in a landslide. Hon-

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Former Rensselaer Lady Writes From Billings, Mont. Billings, Mont., Aug. 3, 'l4. Editor of The Democrat:—Will you please change the address of my paper from Lavina, Mont., to Billings, Mont., 310 North 26th street. We have moved to Billings and Mr. Shumaker is traveling for the J. I. Case Co. It is very warm here now and we are needing rain zery badly; have had no rain since July 4th. My sister, Mrs. W. F. Reynolds, and children, Qertrude and Billy, of Kenosha, Wis., are here on a visit. Took an auto trip of 150 miles to see the hills and old Indian trails and stage stops of twenty years ago, but now all settled up by the homesteaders, and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and Northern Pacific railroads have taken their places. But with all the beauty of the west, could not prevail upon Mrs. Reynolds to stay away from Wisconsin, where they raise cabbage and sugar beets and milk 85 cows night and morning. Regards to all old friends. MRS. RALPH SHUMAKER.

est, independent Democrats are joining Progressive forces and honest "rank and file” Republicans seeing the trend of affairs are determined not to waste their votes by voting the Republican ticket. “Rank and file” Democrats and Republicans, tired of Democratic rule, are turning to the Progressive party. Senator Gavitt, of Lake county, is touted by all parties as a sure winner. The fact that he championed free text books in our public schools should re-elect him even if he did not have a multitude of other good points in his favor. Do not forget that you can vote directly , for Beveridge for United States Senator. John Bower, of Benton county, candidate for State Treasurer on the Progressive ticket is the father of fourteen children and the guardian of thirteen others. He is a successful farmer and a former Democrat. Although he is not a public speaker, he will add great strength to the state ticket as he is widely and well known over the state. John is worrying how he will handle those children when he takes his office in Indianapolis. Who is running for United States Senator on the Republican ticket? You can vote directly for Senator. The initiative means that if the Legislature will not pass a law which the people want and need, then the people themselves may go to the polls and repeal the law. Who is running for United States Senator on the Democratic ticket? You can vote directly for Senator. If you vote the Progressive ticket it that you vote for a reasonable protective tariff and a tariff commisison, that you vote to take the tariff out of politics and place the business men, the laboring men and the farmer on a stable business basis that will not be disturbed every two years. This is worthy of every voter’s serious ebnsideration. We invite you to turn the searchlight on the life, character and record of William H. Ade, farmer, business man and good citizen who is making a winning fight to represent the Tenth district in Congress The election of Will Ade will show the farmer boys of this district that farm life does not mean obscurity or political oblivion. Help swell his majority. —Advertisement.
