vation Association, arrived here from
a long tour Of the middle and far West
to attend the annual convention Of the
Brotherhood Of st. Andrew. When
asked for his views on the political
situation in the country he had just
traversed, Mr.. Pinchot said:
"The essential facts in the West, as
l see them, are the weakening Of par
ty ties, due to q genuine interest In
popular government and the spread OF
progressive ideas.
"The defeat Of such men as Hull. In
Iowa, and Tawney. in Minnesota, and
the Overwhelming victory OF LaFol-
lette in Wisconsin; the successful
fight California is making against the
political domination Of the Southern
Pacific; the demand for direct popu-
lar government in Arizona; the repu.
diation Of Ballinger by his own city,
county and state, and especially the
fact that the conservation idea has
swept the .West-all these are typical
signs of the progressive advance.
