Viewing the political situation from this standpoint, The Star believes the progressive party, headed by, welt, will carry this state by an overwhelming majority over Taft. Considering that ago defeated Burke by over 30,000 votes at a time when women did not have the ballot, it is fair and nable to say that Roosevelt will beat Taft by double that many votes, or 60,000. “With Roosevelt as the head of the ticket leading Taft by that many votes, behind Roosevelt, IF IT IS MADE UP OF THE RIGHT KIND OF MEN WHO STAND FOR THE KIND OF PRINCIPLES, WILL DEFEAT THE TICKET BEHIND TAFT BY EQUALLY AS MANY dexter two is a certainty that the full The Star says this without any desire to injure those few-good men who, for personal or other reasons, VOL. 14.

They are unfortunately in bad company and they will have to suffer the penalty. The contest in this state and throughout the nation lies between Roosevelt, the progressive, and Wilson, the progressive democrat. This is admitted by practi cally all of the eastern papers that have supported Taft in'the past. Strangely enough, it seems to be admitted by Taft himself and by everybody else except a few on papers in this state that never admit anything. e political situation being as it is, the necessity for voters to choose with care the nominees of the progressive party next Saturday becomes apparent. Progressives should lay aside personal friendship, forget narrow partisanship and think only of the man and the principles he stands for, whether he be a candidate for governor or for county coroner. There are good men, capable men, men who have been tried and found not wanting, offering them- selves for the various offices. If these men are selected next Saturday, the progressive party can face the November test of strength with confidence and with every hope of success. Progressives of this state have fought a long and sometimes a desperate battle to free themselves of the Be element. They are free now. They alone can make or mar the new party.
