husband and son to vote the Progressive ticket which will glva you free school books. The Progressive Party is also pledged to give you a minimum wage law for women which will also increase the wages of men. It is pledged to do away with child labor, which. 1 will mean more work for father. It is pledged to the initiative and referendum which means you can make and pass on your own laws, it is pledged to the recall which means that officials must give you the best service or step down and out. It means that judges will not allow attorneys exorbitant tees on ditches and estates which you must pay. It means that only competent and efficient lawyers can remain in the practice. The shyster will have to enter some other field. The Progressive Party is pledged to National Prohibition, and William H. Ade pledges himself to use his best efforts to bring about National Prohibition. How do the other congressional candidates stand on the liquor question? MR. DRINKER if you desire to quit, why not vote for Will H> Ade and let him work to do away with your curse?

The Lafayette Courier is in receipt of private advices from the northern end of the district telling of the striking turn of sentiment toward Will Ade, for congress. The information comes not through the usual channels of such information and was not sent out for effect. The information comes merely incidental to other matters. Beyond a doubt Mr. Ade is attracting very favorable attention.

And why not? Why is there anything to be wondered at in the popular sanction shown when a clean, able citizen steps from the ranks of citizenship, at the express call of other citizens, and takes up a candidacy for congress? Irrespective of party, there is a strong prevailing feeling, among all classes of citizens, that it would be indeed gratifying if now and then a capable citizen would offer himself as a candidate, and so make it pqssible for the every-day sort of citizen to e*press himself rather than through the lVofessional political candidates. Surely, in the candidacy 0 f Will Ade the voters of this district have their opportunity. I he larmers of this district especially ought to heed' the opportunity that now awaits them. It is an opportunity, too, that has its bearings on the rising generation. We hear a good deal said of “back to the land.” Not only farmers but all classes are strong for the idea that opportunity awaits the young man on the farm as well as elsewhere. Now this fall, we are to show whether or not by remaining on the farm a young man closes the door of political opportunity. If the farmers of this district, and others as w r ell, should not support Mr. Ade this fall they ,would be virtually saying to farmer boys bj the thousands, “The farm is farm, but it is not a Ayay to honorable political preferment. If you wish to serve your nation politically you must abandon the farm, go to town and become a corporation lawyer and train up with the crowd that makes polities a specialty.” Do the people of this dictrict wish to further the impression that honor--able participation is not open to the boy on the farm; do they wish to further emphasize the notion that political preferment is not a matter for the every-day citizen but is reserved for the professional? The candidacy of Will Ade gives the independent citizen his chance.—Advt.
