The Signal has always bcoK nn
advocate of Sunday BChtwlft and

a bath and retire He should
rise early Sunday morning shine
his shoes give two more hours
to the Sunday school lesson and

CONFIDENCE IN TAFT LOST
Renomination of Present Chief Ex-
ecutive Will Mean That Progres-
sive Republicans Will Turn
to New Jersey Statesman
BY HON FRANK G CANNON
Former United States Senator From
Utah
I have traveled In ten states since
leaving Colorado a month ago The
cry of the Progressives In these states
— Texas Oklahoma Kansas Nebras-
ka South Dakota Wisconsin Iowa
Illinois Indiana and even Missouri —
Is for LaFcllette and Wilson The
Progressive Democrats want the Re-
publican party to nominate Robert iI
22
— the People will win
And Progresrive Republicans want
the Democratic party to nominate
Woodrow Wilson so that — If the Re-
publican party shall lose— still the
Peorle will win
You will observe that the Progres-
sive Dove has at last learned wisdom
from that wily old Serpent the Sys-
tem whose favorite plan has been
W L Taylor is expecting his
barber outfit to arrive today and
then he will be ready to do the
shaving act
Red Ervin says he will prob-
t a telect both candidates subscribe to f ably goto Hot Springs for his
both campaign funds and then let j joajjh
the People in deadly earnest fight I
a useless battle Prof H C King was in Hugo
Personally I fear that the Progves- gurday on business
slve Republicans cannot control their
convention Mrs Nelson and children of Wel-
Republicans Playing Politics iinart0n Texas visited several days
The office-holding machine Is pow-
erful lnsiduous and experienced The with her brother Jno Dobbs and
Interests are desperately determined 1 family
to prevent a LaFoliette term la the
White House and their financial aid j gentleman from Ardmore
makes the machine almost resistless ! d
Frankly I do not believe in this talk "':1 thl 'veck lookn OU1' a
of a fatal breach between President location for a hotel we learn that
'iaft and Big Business On both sides 1 j)e purchased a lot and will build
It looks like a calculated quarrel a
melodrama played for national en- ‘A ont’e-
tertainment The need of such aa j Kobortt pr00ncy (f Caddo has
aflectation of battle is too obvious j
Df-spito his earnest work the peo- ( purchased a lot from Imtner
pi© had no faith that President Taft 1 fuul troop and has almulv bo-
would solve our vital problem and re-1 th erection of a neat live
store the government to the custody a
of the people A play was needed room bungalow
It Is being played
But there remains Wilson whose
nomination by the Democratic con-
ventlon can only be prevented by In-1
sanity or perfldy-or both Otter j
candidates are able the bave sin-
cere advocates But the Progressive
Republicans — as well as the mass of
Democrats — want Wilson nominated
and It is the Progressive Republicans
whose votes will decide the Issue
If Taft shall be the Republican nom-
inee Progressives of his party would
turn almost en masse to Wilson—
and Wilson Is the only possible Dem-
ocratic nominee to whom they vouH
thus turn They will not leave Taft
In order to vote for any Democrat I
ally of the Interests They will not
desert their own party to caance any
humiliating experiment with the oth-
er They' want to preserve their self-
respect nnd at the same time per-
form a t'y’i public service

men have been hustling arofind
and maby by next weekthe Dem-
ocrat will be in a position to en-

subject however don’t hold your
