NEXT PRESIDENT,

Progressives to Reason
Chicago. Oct. 2. William Jen
nlngs Bryan today wired Lincoln j
Dixon, western democratic cam-1
paign manager, after a tour of fif-i
teen western states, that "our cause;
is growing and will continue to
grow,TF and added that m tne eiec-
toral collf-ae the fight is between
John W. Davis and President Cool-j
idge. i I
"The logic of the situation is with;
us. New factors created by one'
trend of events are arising daily to
help us. It Is unfortunate that there
are two tickets representing a pro
test against the republican record
cnJ the republican candidate, but
the logic of the situation ?s with the
democrats.
"However much as Mr. LaFollotte's
followers may dosiro to see him
president, they know that he has
not the slightest chance in the elec
toral college. Ho cannot hope for
even half of the necessary votes to
give him a majority in the electoral
college.
"In the electoral college, the fight
is between Davis, a progressive, and.
Coo'idge, a reactionary. The demo
crats have uearly enough votes at.
present to fleet, and the republicans
nearly enough. with a few states
now tied between the democrats and
the republicans.
Mr. LaFollette's strength is very
small and the uncertainties of the
situation are many. No one can fore
tell exactly what the result will bo,:
hut c ither Mr. Davis, a progressive, '
or ?.!r. Coolidge, a reactionary, will
be elected if the electoral college
le" ts at all. :
"It is the part of wisdom for the
progressives of all parties to unite I
on Mr. Davis and thus make his elec
tion in the electoral college certain, j
It is much better for the people to!
elect in the electoral college their
own president and vice president'
than to permit congressmen elected .
two years tco to decide the presi
dency for the next four years. This
tiitt will become more and more evi
dent as November draws near."

LOUISVILLE IS TO

Railway Comrnissiorier and Road Of
ficials Hold Conference To
Make Survey of Area.
C. II. Randall, member of tho
State Hallway commission, accompa
nied by the oScials of the IJ'irling
ton and Missouri Pacific, were In
town Monday morning inspecting
the condition of Mill creek with a
vljw of providing better m'-aiif; of
drainage and if po3.iblo lcracn the
danger of a repetition of the disas
trous floor! which caused death and
destruction of thousands of dollars
worth of property in Louisvi!!e just
one year ago last Sunday, Septem
ber 2Sth. The Missouri Pacific of
fieial asked for three weeks' time
in which o make a survey of the
decided aiea and submit plans to the
rf.iiv.ay commission. Thi3 was
granted.
It is a well known fact that the
pile bridge maintained by the Mis
souri Pacific had imvh to do with
causing the flood on the above date
as well as a lesser visitation of flood
waters in June of this year. Louis
ville people believe that much of the
damage might have been averted had
there been a span bridge across this
stream, the as maintained by the
comfy and the Burlington. The pil
ing act? as a dam for driftwood and
d bris of ell kinds and it Is sincere
ly hoped by Louisville people that
this condition may be remedied at as
early a date as possible.
MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS
AVOID ELAN AND BOOZE
Grand Rapids. Mich., Oct. 2. The
democrats of Michigan yesterday
buried their differences for the good

tained just enough like to fizzlo
weakly out before a resolutions com
mittee that promptly stampeded 0:1
it and cast it aside. The wet and dry
i:;sue died without a struggle.
The assembly adopted a platform
that attacked the administration of
Governor Alex G. Groesbeck; censur
ed the state police; went mildly on
record in favor of a gasoline tax and
lauded the democratic policies and
candidates.
