Woodrow continued to attend school,
but most of his training was under
the direct supervision of his father,
and in spite of his late years to
start at books he soon qualified for
college and at seventeen he was sent

In the autumn of 1875 he entered

Personally, I fear that the Progres-

The office-holding machine is pow-
erful insiduous, and experienced. The
^Interests are desperately determined
to prevent a LaFollette term in the
White House; and their financial aid
makes the machine almost resistless. , , . ....

Despite his earnest work, the peo-
ple had no faith that President taft
would solve our vital problem and re-
store the government to the custody
of the people. A play waa needed.
It Is being played.
But there remains Wilson, whose
nomination by the Democratic con-
■ vention can only be prevented by in-
sanity or perfidy—or both. Other
candidates are able; they have sin-
cere advocates. But the Progressive
Republicans—as well as the mass of
Democrats—want Wilson nominated;

STATE OF TEXAS
COUNTY OF MONTAGUE
To the voters of Harmon
County:
We, the undersigned citizens
of Montague county, Texas, hav-
ing learned that our old friend
and neighbor. I. M. Gibbons, is
a candidate for the offiice of
sheriff of your county, take
pleasure in saying to you that
Mr. Gibbons has lived all his life
in this county, except the. ten
years he has lived in Oklahoma,
and that while here he waa al-
ways a good citizen, ever ready
to buckle on his guns and help
the officers enforce the law, in
fact, in early times here he has
helped the officers and the Law
and Order people rid the country
of more than one band of out-
laws.
While Mr. Gibbons r*ver
asked for office in this county
yet we feel sure that if he was
a candidate here he would be
elected. In fact when Mack
Gibbons says he will do a thing
he will do it, and we voluntarily
on our part do most earnestly
recommend him to you as a
neighbor, citizen and officer,'

known as a scholar, author and pub-
lic speaker, but he was untested as
an executive.
In his presidential office he carried
ont the idea of leadership which he
pronounced in his first book, and has
held ever since, in office and out of
office. He proposed something at
Princeton that was a radical change
from the old way; It was the com-
plete reorganization of the university
in auch a way as to bring Into daily

the faculty The proposal was
against the tradition of Princeton,
for It lent toward breaking up the
self-elective clubs. "It Bounded a
startling note of democracy and point-
ed out broad ways by which the
youth of the country could be brought
up for the service of the country."

At another .Ime he paid thia hu-
morous tribute to publicity:
"There is one very disturbing qual-
