AKRON, Ohio, March Leading

address delivered here last night al
a banquet of Republican progressives
by Clifford Pinchot, could only De con-
strued as the inauguration OF
movement to overthrow Taft ana 10
secure the nomination In 1912 OF a
progressive Republican candidate iof
president.
The most significant part OF Pm
chot's address was his description OF
the man who must be the Republican
candidate for president in 1912, In
which he said: 80,
I'm 1912 the nominee himself will
be more than half the platform. II
Ia obvious, therefore, that the Re
publican candidate should be selected
with peculiar care, and that he must
have certain indispensable qualihca'
tons.
First, he must have wisdom,
courage, and genuine devotion to the
welfare of the people.
Second, he must be progressive,
and stand for popular government.
Third. he must be a leader, whom
the voters will follow with enthusiasm.
Fourth, he must offer the party
he Is to lead a fair chance to win.
These requirements are not un-
reasonable. No man not a reaction
airy can object to the simple standard
they contain. And no man whatever
can doubt that unless the next Re.
publican national convention nom
mates a man who meets this test,
the party is sure to suffer. For In
these days the independent voters are
increasing by leaps, and bounds"

seem useless here to try to make plain what

Become OdjOuS :?

Convention was, that the delegates from the
rural communities would thereby be prevented
from knowing that our constitutional rights
were being taken away from us.
Great as was the outrage inflicted upon the
Joe Brown men, that which was committed
on the Hoze Smith men was greater. The
followers of Brown were the minority; and
partisan rancor might palliate the brutality
of putting the steam-roller to them. But the
worst steam-rolled crowd in the Conven-
ton were the HoI1e Smith men, for they
acere the majority, and had q right to CONTROL
This right was ruthlessly taken away from
them by their own leader.
Hoke Smith men, from the small counties
were used as instruments to perpetrate a
wong upon themselves. Every county that
has but one member of the Legislature, as
we'll as the 26 which have two, were sacri-
feed to four of the six counties which have
three
Would the men of the small counties have
done this thing consciously? Would they
have done a permanent wrong to over a hun
dred counties, to crafty the spleen and self
esteem of one politician? Of course not.
Hoke Smith knew that his own partisans
from the rural communities would oppose
that plank in his platform: hence the refusal
of the time-honored rights of free speech
and amendment.
The Committee which served Smith in this
unheard of manner, is still serving him in
