most whining tone. He was seri.
ously disturbed.
Another thing that disturbed the
senator from Rhode Island was the
rumor that President Taft had at
last voiced sympathy for the pro
gressives." He is quoted as saying:
Il hope all the progressive mem
bers of the senate will vote against
the bill. The moral effect of such
a vote will be tremendous 1t will
help to get a better bill from the
conference. 1t will help the men,
bers of the house in fighting for
the reductions of the house bill"
The report spread rapidly and
was taken to mean that Taft had
quit his hard and fast alliance with
Aldrich. Those senators who had
helped to make up Aldrich's 50
votes, heard the news with sorrow.
They had supposed that Taft was
on their side to stay.
The words of Beveridge replying
to Aldrich in the senate had a sol
emn sound.
That pledge (for revision down.
ward)," he said, was voiced by our
party's candidate and leader, in the
party's name That promise and
the peoples faith that it would be
kept, was one of the three principal
reasons why the people made our
candidate their president. To keep
that pledge has been the effort of
those republican senators who have
battled against increasing rates.
Our votes shall be cast in harmony
with our party's pledge as voiced
by our partys leader-the nations
president"
So 10 republicans broke over
party lines. The states from which
they came are the states which
hold the balance of political power.
The progressive" members of the
senate-a group very likely des-
tined to be the nucleus of a pro
| gressive party"-are: LaFollette,

kett and Brown. Nebraska; Nelson

Wireless outfits cost lots Of

But their principle was right.
They got that out of a book that

they would send message.

From all sides similar reports

following an overthrow of the re-
publican majority in the house, it
is predicted that there will be a
breaking up of party lines and the
development of an independent
party. The beginnings of this party
will be seen when candidates APP

development will work out when a

"Progressives" on the democratic
side of the chamber who have

sives" are Gore and Owen, Okla
homa; Newlands, Nevada, and
Shively, Indiana.
In sympathy with the progress
sive" movement, but not bold or
strong enough to be with 1t in the
tariff fight, are several republican
members of the senate like Borah

these there is still hope.
In the house of representatives
the 'progressives" are the anti
Cannon insurgents" Victor Muir
dock of Kansas, Cooper and Len
rott of Wisconsin and the others
who made the good fight against
the Cannon rules-these are the
"progressives" in the lower house.
1t will be well for the people to
watch these men. They are coming
right along, all of them.
Shaking his finger in the face of
Aldrich, LaFollette uttered a pro-
phetic warning, when he said:
The clock has struck for the old
order in this senate. The time has
gone by when one man can hold up

time is here when the peoples
voice will be heard and when it

What LaFollette had in mind was
the Aldrich organization. Speak
ing of the tariff act, the Wisconsin
senator said:
''On that day last winter when
Mr.. Aldrich was permitted to name
all the committees of this senate,
this bill became a law"
Today the public pretty we'll un-
derstands this fact. The people
have seen the Aldrich organization
out from under cover. They have
seen how it reaches across the
aisle which is supposed to divide
republican from democrat. and
takes democratic and republican
votes impartially for some special
legislation desired by some spe-
cially favored financial interest.

Rpecial Correspondence to The Press

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 16.-
A new party to bear the name pro
gressive" is taking shape. Every
day sees the old democratic" and
Republican lines more faint.
Every day sees the issue more
sharply drawn between bipartisan
self interest, on the one hand, and
the peoples interests on the other.
The vote on the tariff bill is ire
mendously significant. That 10 re-
publicans-a sixth of the party
strength in the senate-should
have voted against the party meas
ure, came as a shock even to Aid
rich.
A few weeks ago Aldrich turned
with a sneer on Senator Beveridge
and asked mockingly:
What Is 1t that you and your
progressive friends would like?"
He used the term in ridicule.
On the evening of July s, when
the 10 progressive republicans
voted against the passage of the
tariff bill, and used the name of
President Taft as their justifica
ton, Aldrich took a different tone
He said:
THE republican party is a party
of majorities. The senator from
Indiana does not speak for the re
publican party. He has no right to
call here the name of the president
of the United States in support Of
any of the suggestions he has
made. Those of us who are here
representing states and voting as 6
majority in this chamber represen,
