less saw what was coming, for they all
announced last spring that they would
not be candidates for reeIection to the
senate
Representative Poindexter, one OF the
original progressives, swept the Wash
ington primaries, and will be the Re"
publican candidate TO succeed Piles.
Flint of California will probably be sue
ceedcd by progressive, as the progress
sive victory in the primaries in that
state was almost landslide
Johnson of California and Bass of
New Hampshire are the two progress
nominations in the face Of determined
opposition. Six months ago the state
ment that they would win their fights
would have been laughed at
All eyes are now turned toward New
York and the Republican state conven-
tlon next week at Saratoga. The line
has been drawn distinctly between the
progressives and regulars in the fight
to control the convention, and the re.
far reaching effect on politics through
out the country Former President
Roosevelt is in command of the pro-
gressives, and that in itself would as
sure widespread and intense interest in
the contest. Roosevelt is q mighty fac
tor in political affairs Just now, and
promises to continue one for the next
two years at least. Victorious at Sara
toga, it will no longer be a question
whether the former champion can
"come back politically, while defeat,
unless it be veritable rout, cannot
put him in the down and. out club, SO
peculiar and so strong is his position
before the people.
Prophecy as to the result is idle, with
the issue go near at hand, but il is
manifest to everybody that what trans
pires at Saratoga during the next three
or four days will be Of the greatest mo-
ment to the progressive movement
Much as the movement has accomplished
to date, there is long and hard road
to travel before the progressives can
hope to dominate the Republican party,
and victory or defeat in New York at
this time is of the greatest Importance
to them.
And, then, there are the elections in
November The progressive element has
not been really tested, at the polls, and
it remains to be seen. whether il can
carry elections as well as primaries and
conventions.
