the , absurd figures the Republican speakers and press have been trying to hand you. We Progressives do not care for figures but we do care for right principles and right men. Compare our principles with those of the other parties. Compare our candidate with those of the other parties. If you do this and act on it, William H. Ade will have a majority that will not need to be figured. The figures will speak for themselves. IT CUTS TWO WAYS. Mr. Penrose, or somebody for him, is spending a good deal of money in Pennsylvania and spent a good deal before the primaries that nominated him, but no statement of expenses has been filed by the candidate as required by law. Senator Norris of Nebraska, i 3 preparing to offer a resolution inquiring into the Penrose expense account and also the expense account of Roger C. Sullivan of Illinois. Norris is a progressive Republican and a member of the committee on I privileges and elections. His resolution has caused consternation in both Republican and Democratic circles, and the effort is being made by members of the old group of reactionary Republicans who are left to prevent it from coming before the senate, all the tricks of the game being resorted to.

The Democrats would like nothing better than to press the inquiry into the Penrose matter, but when the Sullivan, case is coupled with it, it becomes embarrassing. They hope to n-ake a gain of several senators this year; it is important to them that they should do so, and though it is known that Sullivan is not well thought of by the President, they can not afford to jeopardize his chances on that account. Senator Kern is chairman of the committee on privileges and elections, but he has not indicated when the Norris resolution will be considered, and it is safe to say that whatever influence he has will be in favor of suppressing it. It is not at all likely that any investigation of Penrose’s or Sullivan’s expenditures will be undertaken. Beveridge for United States Senator on State Ballot. William H.
