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

ONLY A MONOTONOUS CRY OF VOTERS “GOING BACK”

Day in and day out for months we have been told by standpat politicians nothing except that those who believe in Progressive principles, policies and measures have deserted their faith and gone back to one or the other of the two old parties. This is their whole campaign. Not an argument do they make, not a helpful suggestion do they offer in the public interest, but only the false and monotonous cry that “The Progressives are going back!” Yet the men and newspapers who have done this know that the Progressive party in Indiana has been and is making gains by leaps and bounds. They know that careful polls show that a large number of Progressive county tickets, and at least three, probably five, and possibly seven Progressive candidates for congress will be elected.

They know that these polls show that the Progressive state ticket will win over the Taggart-Fairbanks-Bell-Roberts so-called Democratic machine ticket unless the 30,000 or 40,000 pretended Republicans wiio voted the Taggart-Fairbanks-Bell-Roberts so-called Democratic ticket in 1910 and 191 “2 do the same thing again in 1914, as Mr. Taggart now is trying to get them to do. They know that the enrolled membership of Progressive clubs all over Indiana, personally signed by voters, proves that we have tens of thousands more supporters now than we had two years ago. They know that whereas two years ago at least 40,000 votes cast for the national and state heads of the Progressive tickets were not counted because the election officials belonged to the standpat Democratic and Republican Tammanies. This year all votes will be counted as cast because in every county the Progressive party this year names half of the election officials who will be incorruptible men of character, substance and standing.

We speak of the great hopes and sore needs of the people, and the standpat oligarchy answers only with abuse and the silly cry, “The Progressives are going back.” We tell the people that at least they can have the new constitution which they so long and sadly have needed, and the standpat clique respond that “The Progressives are going back.” We declare that such labor as murders the bodies, minds and souls of American children nuust be ended, and show how it can be done; and the standpat gang retort only that “The Progressives are going baek.” We prove that the bipartisan boss and machine system is running the country for anti-public interests and we point out tried and successful methods of destroying that disloyal system, and the standpat cabal ex claims only that “The Progressives are going back.” Ury Always the Same. We say that there must be an honest protective tariff, that the tariff and other business laws must be taken out of politics, handled as business questions, so that American business shall be continuously steady and the American people permanently prosperous, and the standpat conspirators reply only that “The Pro-

is progressing rapidly and the brick are nearly all laid. When completed this building will be one of the finest of its kind in this section. Mrs. Dan Lathrope and Mrs. Chas. Leavitt went to Blue Island to visit Mrs. Lathrope’s neice, Mrs. Elmer Pierson, a few days. Mrs. Leavitt will visit relatives in Chicago before returning.

GOODLAND. [From The Herald.] Col. S. C. Spoor shows no improvement at thia time. X Emory Constantine was a business caljer in Monon Monday. . Miss Belle Lochwood of Frankfort, is here the guest of her sister, Mrs. George Fox, and family. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Clark of Kewana, Ind., were guests at the homes of Charles and Frank Hancock Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Smith of Cincinnati, Ohio, are here the guests of their niece, Mrs. W. J. Stewart, and husband. John Cochrane, Sr., and Mrs: Charles Fagan his daughter, who is visiting here from Seattle, Wash., went to Chicago Thursday evening. T. C. Carlock went to Monticello on Thursday to look after his interests there. He has recently traded for a restaurant and hotel in that city and will place it in charge of a competent man, as he will be unable to leave his large bakery business here.

gressives are going back.” We declare that liberty can be strengthened only by broadening and deepening its foundations and therefore that women shoud be equal with their husbands, fathers, brothers at the ballot box, and the standpat crowd only shout the inspiring slogan that “John Doe, a former Progressive, has agreed to work with us.” We prove that presidential primaries would place the nations chief magistrate out of the reach of those deals and trades which have disgraced national conventions, put presidential candidates under binding obligations to designing politicians and made him merely a party chieftain instead of the head of a great people; and the standpat group only declare that “Richard Roe of somewhere or other, a former Progressive, has accepted a standpat nomination for a township 'offio4.” We present statistics to show the economy, wisdom and sheer humanity of a minimum wage, of limited Iftbor hours, a national employment bureau and our whole program of industrial justice which has called forth the applause of the world; and the standpat tricksters only answer with a few signatures of those who they say have deserted humanity’s colors.

If, in the face of all this evidence, honorable Republicans who believe in the Progressive program consent to be fooled, they will deserve all they get and they will get all they deserve. As Lincoln said on a like occasion: “If the people like that sort of thing, then that is the sort of thing the people like.” But as Lincoln believed that the people did not like “that sort of thing,” then, neither do we believe that the people like that sort of thing now.
