Plana were made for demonstra tion in food preservation to be given at the Chautauqua . This will I Cumtnings the Humorist In 1912 the Progressive wing of the Republican party and the so-called regular wing, by splitting their votes for two candidates, Mr. Roosevelt and Mr, Taft, brought about the election of Woodrow Wilson for President of the United States. In 1 9 1 6 the Progressive element of the party in Cal ifornia and in a few other states was ignored or insulted by the state organizations and voted for the Democratic candidate, resulting in his eelction by a very small ma jority of the electoral vote. The Progressives, normally identified with the Re publicans, have demonstrated that they hold the balance of power, and with this thought uppermost in his mind, Mr. Homer S. Cummings, national Democratic chair man, has invited them to vote, in 1920, for the Demo cratic nominee, whoever he may be, on the ground that the Democratic party has been responsible for the en actment of some progressive legislation. Here, indeed, is a pretty bait for votes, long in ad vance of the election. Whatever progressive legislation passed by congress was put through with the combined votes of the progressive element in both parties, with out regard to party lines. The country was at war with Germany, and practically all of the important legisla tion was based upon war needs of the country. It is an incontrovertib e fact that the Republicans in congress supported President Wilson, in his demand for war measures, to a greater degree and in a larger proportion than did his own party. This condition in congress was recognized by the country to such an extent that in the general elections of last November the people rejected the Democratic party from control of congress and re turned Republican majorities in both the House and Senate. Mr. Cummings knows that the people have register ed at the polls their dissatisfaction with the Democratic administration, and he knows that without the votes of a large percentage of the progressive Republicans, the Democratic nominee for President in 1 920 will meet with the same fate as did the Democratic congressmen in the recent election. , t All of which shows that Mr. Cummings ranks as a near-humorist. Whether he can fool the Progressives of the country with his propaganda remains to be disclosed. O esasRassj be In charge of Miss Marie Anthony, home demonstration agent The state fair exhibit subject wa discussed. Dave Long, of ilazella, suggested that county fair officials should have assistance of the county agent and Mr. M. C. Young suggest ed committees might do this work.
