A FUNNY CAMPAIGN. The Machine Democrats Want Taft and the Machine Republicans Want Simmons They All Want to Draw the Line on Progressives Judge Clark and His Campaign The Fools Not All Dead Yet, Hickory Times-Mercury. Judge Clark and Mr. Ward spoke here Friday night, and the folks say both made good speeches. If they did, then Kitchin and Simmons are not good Democrats and have never done anything for the party, for that was the burden of their theme. It's a funny campaign. The Demo crats want Taft, and Republicans want Simmons. The logic is, Sim mons is not a Democrat and Taft is not a Republican. Wilson says he is a Progressive, Teddy says he is a Progressive, Judge Clark says he is a Progressive. Then here comes Taft and squalls, "Me too." Yet some want to draw the line on "progress! vfe." Fools are not all dead yet. Mexican Rebels Commit Depredations Cananea, Mexico, Sept. 3.
