His po- sition was so well grounded; he was so thorough and painstaking as to facts: he was so manly and cogent fin reasoning. and in word and act he was SO free from cowardice or self-seeking, ambiguity or evasion, that it is not to be imagined that be would have proved weak or tricky. Above all. he appealed to and aroused the newly enlightened conscience and intelligence of his party with such impressive sheer ity, courage. and confidence, he held so deeply the movement toward jus tiee and common sense in which he took the lead, that we think of him as the man of the future. not of the past. We cannot picture him as tempted or scared into turning back or even halting.

 The plight of the Progressives. so far as they personally are concern ed, is of slight interest to the Amer ican people.
