It favors advanced labor loirislation. Jucludinp: the-s»!ortenin?r of hours, the protection of employees, employers’ lia- Idlity laws and restriction of child labor. It believes that platform pledges should be kefit. In a word, the progressive moveraent propo-ses to make jiovcrnnient more re- eponsive to all the people and I^s re- TBponsive to crooked bosses and privi- lepre seeking trusts. Projjressives are convinced that the I»resent hijrh prices are artificial for the most part and are caused by tariff favoritism and trust combinations. They would eradicate both causes. While there has been no national fleclaraiiion of proprressive principles, Ihis in the main covers the points fcd- vocate^l in the various states. Is it not a prt-tty good American platform? Is It not one which all pro gressives. in whatever party they hap pen to be. should support? There is one way in which every man who believes in these principles can make them effective in this caiu- paijrn. Here is the way: Vote for no man for congress who is not committed to these progressive ideas. Without regard to party sup port the most progressive candidalo:t for ail offices. If all progressives follow that course on the 8th of November it will lie f»os- sible for them to win a smusliing vic tory all along the line.

It v/as said that Aldrich feared him more than any other in surgent, not only because the Iowa m;*n was trenchant in de bate, but because he had been on the inside in making former* tariffs. Dolliver was originally a sta/^dpatter, but when Iowa went progressive he went with her. He was only fifty-two at the time- of his death and had served in the'tewer house eleven years and in the - .fenate ten years. It was because ~of a let ter to Senator Dolliver that Gif* ford Pinchot was dismissed by President Taft. W. B. DUCKWORTH, \TTO R N E Y-AT-L A W. ■looms 1 and 2. Piekelain.oi- lluik.ii.rr H. G.
