Progressises or ReguIas-wh;oh9

We have, then, three great forces in
the republican situation - Roosevelt,
LaFollette and Taft.
All summer President Taft mas been
engaged in an attempt to harmonize
the progressive wing with the stand
patters. He had sent Senator Crane Of
Massachusetts westward to effect such
harmonization; he had dispatched his
private secretary, Charles Norton, on
the same mission. But the conflict was
as i~nepressible as that which brought
on the civil war; the p~rogressives had
for the time parted company with the
standpatters; and within the republican
party was being fought q war which
mus, inevitably result in the elimina-
non Of lis elements.
Either the ~progressiyes OF the regu-
lars must dominate in the national con-
vention of 1912. There could be no
compromise. The movement for pop
ula government, in which Oregon and
Wisconsin had led the way, had gained
The necessary momentum that some
medium mad to be developed 10 carry
that movement to its full fruition. Il
the p~rogressives won control Of the re-
publican party, probably that party
would De entrusted by the American
people with the task Of governing the
country for the ensuing period. Il the
standpatters procured the ascendancy,
then the forces which mad been gener-
ated for the cause Of popular govern
ment would turn elsewhere. Nor &he
waning Of the popularity Of any man
could stop il. Il had gone beyond the
personal 70 the fundamental, beyond the
hanging on the political fortunes Of one
OF more men to the certainty Of success
with the people in the saddle.-John
Lathrop in December Pacific Monthly.
