E SEATTLE STAR 9400 and Independent 44! . Star Publishing bo aoe matter Bia monthe T It’s Reasonably Improbable The way that man La Follette is growing in the popular imagination of the common people of this country is little short of miraculous, Six months ago it is doubtful whether even the most hopefully optimistic progressive in the land thought it within the range of human possibility that La Follette or any other republican had a chance for the presidential nomination as/ against Taft Notwithstanding Taft's complete eclipse as a popular leader, the power of party control by the standpatters, especial ly in the Southern states, was thought to be such that his re nomination seemed to be a foregone conclusion Today the situation has such an entirely different aspect that it is probably within the facts to say that Taft's renom- ination is not only uncertain, but that it is reasonably im- probable. The growth of progressive sentiment among the common people of all parties during recent months has been one of the most remargable phenomena of our political history. Along with this growth of progressive sentiment has been the growth of the conviction that Taft hasn't one ounce of progressive flesh in his entire 325 pounds, and the realization by nearly every leader of his party, even the rankest stand- patters, that his renomination, even could it be forced, would result in certain defeat for the republicans. : In the opinion of the vast majority ot the wisest leaders in the republican party, the one hope for republican victory in the national election next year lies in an ultra-progressive candidate These leaders, many of whom are more interested in vic tory than they are in principles, realize that economic and po litical conditions are such that the great mass of voters sim ply cannot again be fooled into electing a man of the Taft stripe to the presidency.

To the Editor: I have read, with a great deal of interest, the speeches by ex-President Roosevelt, the speeches by President Taft and the sermons of Dr. M. A. Matthews, in which they advise the young men to go back to the farm. It has occurred to me, knowing something about farms and farm- ing, to ask the question, whose farm would they go back to? It they are to take a farm, whose farm will they take? I have talked to farm hands from the South, from the Kast and from the West. The wages pald to farm hands, ordinarily for six months in the year, are $10, §15 and $20 per month. I have wondered how many farms a farm hand could buy with his wages, and how many thousand years it would take him to get a good farm at $10, $15 and $20 a month for six month» in the year, and the balance of the time no wages at all. fi Being of a somewhat curtous disposition, I interviewed, at differ- ent times, the soldiers stationed at Fort Lawton and some that were sent to Alaska—nice-looking young men. I said: “Where are you from?” “From Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia and other states.” I said: “How much pay do you get in the army?” “About $16 per month and board.” 1 said: “Can you afford, young man that you are, to spend your time in the army?” They answered: “Wages in our states upon the farm are $10 to $12 per month six months of the year, and we can make a great deal better living in the army that we ean to work as a farm hand.” 1 now submit that Col, Roosevelt, President Taft and Dr. Matthews, in advising young men to take a farm, should tell them whose farm to take, Even to take a homestead will require $2,000 to locate upon ft and prove up.
