PROGRESSIVE PARTY COLUMN. All matter appearing under this head is paid for at advertising rates, and The Democrat assumes no responsibility therefor. Republican Leaders of Reactionism, Inviting Support for Reinstalemonf, Appeal to American People in Vain,

Perhaps the best answer to the speech of Messrs. Borah and Miller is supplied by the Maine election. The whole Republican campaign is based on fault-finding with Woodrow Wilson and his administration. This is the situation here. As it was also in Maine. The American people are grateful for Woodrow Wilson’s patience in Mexico and the consequent escape of our land from the horrors of war. They are with him in his ambition for world peace; they honor -and love himforthe perfect courtesy and correct deportment in his reception of German and Belgian complaints. On the tariff it would be as well for Republicans to keep still. The American people will never choose an Aldrich-Payne iniquity in a naked choice between it and the tariff enacted under Woodrow Wilson. Out of Republican malfeasance on the tariff was the insurgent uprising born and the Progressive party conceived. The standpat oligarchies, in Maine or Indiana, can appeal for support on high tariff till they are black in the face, but in vain. Wherever Woodrow Wilson stands resolutely against _ the errors and crimes of later Republican misrule, he has the American people behind him. His foes are the very creatures both in his own party and out of it, against whose discredited domination the Progressive party made its heroic stand. All that is truly progressive in President Wilson’s words and deeds has the heartfelt support of the Progressive masses in this country in all parties. All this is precisely what the Republican leaders implore the nation to condemn, and that is precisely what the American people will never do. The standpat cause is a forlorn hope. It is doomed from the start. -—— :o: The Progressive party is the custodian of the progressive movement for one reason because the Republican party is hopelessly and avow-

Mrs. L. H. Jordan came up from Indianapolis Wednesday and visited here this week with her brother, J. L. Cooke, and family.

Thursday evening at about 4:30 o’clock when Miss Maude Hanson and Miss Sylvia’Keen started for her home northwest of town, the shafts on their buggy came down and the horse ran away. In making the turn east at the Methodist church the buggy upset and threw the girls out. Miss Hudson was thrown on her head on the cement sidewalk and received a bad scalp wound over the right ear. She was taken to Dr. Kinneman’s office where she remained, unconscious for some time. The reports are that she is all O. K. this morning. Miss Keen escaped luckily with a few bruises.

FRANCESVILLE. [From The Tribune.] Mrs. R. T. Alkire visited with her daughter, Mrs. Garfield Burget, near Rensselaer, Sunday and Monday. Paul Munz of Fairbury, 111., is here this week the guest of his sister, Mrs. Lewis Gutwein, and friends in the vicinity. Opha Bishir of Gillam, recently purchased 40 acres of land in Jennings county, this state; and will locate there about March Ist. The farm is well improved. The marriage of Guy Houston and Miss Mildred Weymer occurred Saturday evening in Francesville, at tne home of the bride’s parents. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Houston, living in Gillam, and she the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Weymer.

edly anti-progressive, and /for another reason because the Democratic party’s present situation under Woodrow Wilson is false and Meeting. The Democratic party in Indiana is no more like Woodrow Wilson. than it is like Theodore Roosevelt. At Baltimore the Democratic party was thrown and branded by Mr. Bryan against its will, but it is the same old outfit it was when at the primaries it voted for Champ Clark and at Baltimore it elected Alton B Parker for chairman of its national convention. The idea of supporting men like Shively , for Senator, and Peterson for Congress as representative of Woodrow Wilson is a ghastly joke. Down their rebellious throats the President has rammed the progressive measures of his administration. ——:O:—— Woodrow Wilson is in the Democratic party very much as Theodore Roosevelt was in the Republican party. Each ruled his party against its will to progressive ends. For a time it could ne controlled, but in it were the seeds of hopeless reactionary decay. If ydu take the combined Democratic and Progressive vote in Maine (76,000) and the Republican vote (61,000) you will get a fair idea of the unquenchable uprising in a state that voted 64,000 to 27,000 Republican in 19 04. Out of the Republican and Democratic parties the Progressive movement and the Progressive party have arisen to restore popular government and enthrone humanity in political life. The idea of this band of forward-lookers going back to the Republican party is grotesque. Between the political philosophy and practice of Cannon and Aldrich and that of Woodrow Wilson they would choose Wilson every time. Neither in Maine nor in Indiana can the progressive measures and leadership of Woodrow Wilson be held up successfully as a scarecrow to drive men back to the Republican party.
