Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 63, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 November 1916 — BUT ONE PROGRESSIVE PARTY [ARTICLE]

BUT ONE PROGRESSIVE PARTY

Mr. Wilson did well in the* last days of his campaign to call attention to the fact that there is only one progressive party left. Four years ago there were two and £ man could vote for progressive principles and still make a choice of men. This year there is but one progressive party, the other was killed by Perkins and Roosevelt in the interest of the old line of stand patters. Hughes, Smoot, Penrose, Goodrich and Watson. Many of the things that the Progressive party advocated have been made into laws and they have not hurt us. We are prosperous, the federal reserve law will prevent future panics. but less than 4 per cent of our commerce has to do with the European war and peace may see it increase instead of diminish, as our commerce did with Europe after the Civil war ended. Mr. Wilson is looking forward. Mr. Hughes is looking back. Let you and I, neighbor, do our part for the future by voting for Wilson and a continuance of present conditions.
