done likewise after the election
returns are in on the ninth day Of
November. Progressive Republi-
canism and aggressive democracy
are destined to route the stand
patters root and branch in the
coming conflict. The Taft brand

the onslaughts of the combined
opposition to C~annonism, Aldrich-

strongly asserting itself in repub-
can primaries and general state
and district elections in various
parts of the country, where the
people have recently spoken.
Vermont, New Hampshire, Wis
consin and Michigan have this
week dealt blows to the regular
republicans that are already fall
clear around the country. On
November 9Th the tidal wave of
progressiveness will demonstrate
its force down here in North Car
DINA by administering a deserved
rebuke to the three republican
representatives, so-called, from
this state, who have been doing
the bidding of trusts and monop-
olies in Washington, instead of
standing for the rights of the
people who elected them. Speak
ing of the wonderful spread of the
insurgent movement and the posi-
tions taken by Grant, Cowles and
Morehead the Charlotte Observer
very pertinently remarks:
Zone standpat Jonah after an
other is bing swallowed up by tn,
waves. In the last session of Cou-
gress Democrats and progressive
Republicans together were strong
enough to GUST Speaker Cannon
from the committee on rules and
force upon the administration
no more than nominally progress
sive program a really progressive
character. 1t has been an inspir-
ingly successful fight against those
who xploit the government in
their own private interest
against tarif-making and similar
acts by trusts. Some of the Re-
publican progressives are wild in
some of their talk; this feature is
to be expected in almost any re-
form movement and it will not, we
trust, detract from the desirable
ness of the final outcome. But
what has been the attitude of
North Cardinals three Repubil-
can representatives while moral
zeal for the public interest were in
quickening and newly awakened
progress. All three have stood by
the upholders of public Dunder,
by moral corruption, and above
all, by the feshpots of Federal
Office desired on any terms. The
internal reformation in the Repub-
ican party has left them untouch-
ed. They voluntarily choose as
their political associates men of
the lowest ideals; by their actions
they confess a political affinity for
such men.
Processing to offer North Car
DINA voters. a Republicanism
which is progressive, Representa-
tives Morehead, Cowles and Grant
really stand for a Republicanism
which is being rapidly discredited
before every ones eyes. As
Southern men they are musn l'e-
hind the time, not ahes1 of it.
Representative Cowles has even
gone so far as to attempt a revival
of the force bill. When they i'm
port campaign speakers they i'm
port, naturally, their own political
kind, for example, Vice President
Sherman, who in the things he
stands for is a grounding of the
groundlings and who has been DIS
tected in the act of suppressing a
telegram from President Taft to
the New York State Republican
committee that he might misrep-
resent the President attitude
without hindFance.
Representative Morehead has
