<.,< ■Bwii • ?'^il|^ : H I ;1»* a '« V - > ■■' ' WILLIAM H. ADE Progressive Candidate for Congress Rejects Hays’ Call For Help ForIG.O.P. Spiceland, Ind., Sept. 22, —Clark Cordon, an old resident and lifelong Republican, has formerly notified Chairman W. H. Hays of the Republican state committee, that he has severed bis connection with the old party, of which he was formerly a precinct committeeman. Mr. Gordon tells the Republican chairman plainly he has been sickened by the tactics of the Republican machine politicians and has joined the Progressives. He also assures Mr. Hays that, in spite of all talk of the Republicans and Democrats to the contrary, the Progressives in his township in Henry county are stronger than they were two years ago. Tired of Bosses. “Your letter of the tenth is at hand,” Mr. Gordon’s letter says, stating that the old files of the committeemen show my name as a precinct committeeman in the past and urging my active support in the coming election, as you never needed help so badly as now. Yet you claim certain victory. Yes, I used to serve as committeeman and did the bidding of those higher up and thought they were the greatest bunch of bosses on earth. But the time came when moths ate holes in the drop curtain and the people got a glimpse behind the scenes and footlights and realized that overconfidence and carelessness had caused a sell-out to a few political pugilists and loaded dice gamblers. “Two years ago I moved up with the Bull Moose on the Lincoln firing line.

sixties, it is unpleasant out back iu the reserve among the floaters, or in the convalescent camps where the general health is poor. I am proud of the Progressive party and the able army of good men everywhere enlisted In its cause. “And now, Friend Hays, notwithstanding the reported banishment of the Progressives, I know that in Spiceland township, Henry county, they are stronger than two years ago.” H. W. Huff of Indiana Springs, who received one of the letters of invitation to go back and join the Republican party, has written a letter to Will H. Hays, the Republican state chairman, in which he declines the invitation in the following terms: “When I become heartless enough to stand against a child labor law; mercenary enough to stand against a tariff commission; mean enough to oppose a honest workmen’s compensation law; when I become corrupt enough to assist in blackmailing our country’s greatest living statesman —the people’s , friend—and to attempt to cast a blight on the faire6t names of our country’s history, i shall come back and be a standpatter with you.” Appeals to Indiana Voters. It being a foregone conclusion that the senatorial fight this year in Indiana is between Albert J. Beveridge and Ben F. Shively, voter, before you cast your vote for United States senator in Indiana, stop and ask yourself this question; “Am I voting for the man or am I voting for the party?” If you are going to stick to your party ticket there will be some doubt as to what the outcome of the election will he, but if you are going to vote for the man there will be no doubt as to the result of the election. How did Ben Shively get in the senate in the first place? Was it by the vote of the people? No. Was it b> the vote of the Democratic party? No. You know how he got there; if you do not, ask John W. Kern. He can tell you if he will. Ask yourself this Question: What has Ben Shively done for Indiana or the nation since he has been, in the United States senate? Look up his senatorial record and look up the senatorial record of that great statesman, forpier Senator Albert J. Beveridge. Compare the two with an unbiased mind and there will be no question as to how you will vote. Men, for once in your life, forget party politics and vote for a man who is not only big enough for the United States senate, but who is big enough for the President of the United States. W.
