ure OF their efforts on the wider field
indicate that the spirit of progress is
still alive and active. 1t is well to
make note of some of these indications.
Their significance is seen in the result
OF the senatorial contest in North Da-
kota. Since the day when that state
emerged from the territorial condition
until this movement for progress set
In the state has been absolutely dom
mated by what we now term the re-
dictionary element. They had met and
overcome successfully the efforts of
men in that state to redeem it from
the spoilsmen. Undiscouraged by
these defeates the movement grew
and gathered in strength and made of
the senatorship this year the decisive
issue. 1t is of good cheer to know
that Mr.. Marshall, who led the move
ment, is far in the lead, with Mr..
johnson, like minded man, but little
behind him, while Mr.. Little, the rep
resentative of the reactionaries, is in
a hopeless minority.
The stronghold of the Interests is
the Senate of the United States. No

gains. In some states they have
simply held their own; in others they
have lost ground. La Toilette dis

NOT DISCOURAGING.

The earnest and sincere advocates
of better conditions to be attained
through wise use of Legislation exper
fenced distinct sense of disappoint
ment bordering on defeat by the
action and the refusal to act of the
Chicago convention. They felt that
whatever Was gained in the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Taft was lost in the selec-
tion of Mr.. Sherman, in the smother
ing with verbiage of the Taft principle
of tariff reform and in the rejection of
the amendments proposed by Senator
La Follette's representatives.
A view of the situation which covers
the entire field tends to remove the
feeling of encouragement and to re-
store hope and courage. While the
reactionary element may have won a
temporary success at Chicago the fail
