During- the present campaign we have heard a great deal about the schoolmaster in politics, many ol the west informed citizens con tending that the schoolmaster is invariably impractical and for that reason unfitted for an administra tive office. It is significant that both of th leading candidates for the demo cratic nomination for President are ex-schoolmasters. Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey and Speaker Champ Clark of Mis souri have both served as presi dents of institutions of learning and both have demonstrated tn the world that intellectual men are not necessarily failures in the great game of politics. Governor Wilson has dem.-'-strated to the people of New Jer sey that he is of an exceedingly practical turn of mind, haung. forced the enactment of more genuine progressive legislation during his two years tenure of of fice than has been placed on the statute books of that slate by any of his predecessors. Speaker Clark has also proved himself a constructive statesman as well as a schoolmaster. His leadership of (lie majority mem bers of congress lias never been equaled. The record made by the democralie members of that body irudcr the leadership of Clark and the record made by the New Jer sey Governor effectually proves the fallacy of the claim the school master is unfitted for leadership. If the writer were permitted to 'name the republican nominee for President, we should unhesitat ingly choose Senator i.a Follclte of Wisconsin. A born lighter, inherently lion est ami endowed with unusual menial vigor, .a Fulletle would in our judgment, make an ideal candidate. Unlike Uoosevelt, he has al ways been consistent. I le has not only preached progressive repub licanism but has invariably prac ticed it in his own state of Wis consin, lie has never wavered from llie course of plain duty, or compromised with the special in terests to advance his own politi cal fortunes. If our republican friends would nominate a genuine progressive. Iliev need look no further than the state of Wisconsin. Kcononiy in the expenditure of public funds is not a popular, slo gan witji the gentlemen who deal r;t state contracts, but the tax payer is registering no serious complaint against the economy program as outlined bv Governor West.
