The "HoIy Alliance

Senator Gore in his speech In this
city declared that there was "prac-
tically no difference between a pro-
gressive Republican and Democrat"
A reorganized and reunited Democ-
racy means an alliance between hun
cry Democratic office-seekers and dis
gruntled Republicans
The Democratic party has been shot
TO pieces. Its few surviving leaders
know this. They know also that their
only hope of resuscitation lies through
an alliance with n.alcontent Republi-
cans. The bouquets they are handing
to these progressive" Republicans are
very beautiful and fragrant Their
love for Republican citizens is touch
ing in more ways than one.
This alliance BODIES no good to the
country. BY practically aligning them
selves with the remnant of Democracy
the progressive Republicans show
how little they care for party ties or
party organization or party principles.
To gain power they will ally them
selves with their old-time foes and
wreck their own party, IL need be.
They raise a hue and cry when Pres
ident Taft declares for party organi-
cation and party loyalty, and try TO
make the country believe that the
President is reading them out of the
party"
The fact is they are reading them
selves out of the party as fast as they
can They do not attempt 20 conceal
their JOY if they are able to thwart
the work of their party They are
doing all they can to wreck the admin
istration and cheerfully ally themselves
with the enemies of their party when
necessary to gain the power they seek.
This is the alliance the Republican
party must face and fight.-Milwaukee
