NEW NATIONALISM
NEEDS NEW DEFINITION

DENVER, Col. May S-"Progres-
sive politics. the readiustment of both
political and economic conditions to
coincide with the actual facts-these
I take will be the vital issues on
which the next national campaign
will be fought"
This was the statement today of
Governor Woodrow Wilson, Of New
Jersey.
Combinations of capital are in con-
troll Of politics, therefore, the organi-
zation of politics and it's methods
must be changed" continued Wilson
"I have no doubt that the tariff will
be an issue, for tariff nowadays means
nothing but a system of favoritism
and patronage. In the next political
presidential convention the democracy
will undoubtedly have the power OF
position"
The question of who will likely be
the national standard bearers of the
two great parties. the Governor would
not discuss.
As to this new nationslism," he
said, that is theory that needs def
milton anew. The phrase is ambiguous
and is all the more so from the fact
that Colonel Roosevelt has defined Il
in more than one way"
