dictionary.
In the recent primary the total vote
cast for Clark and Wilson was more
than thirty-four thousand and the vote
cast for Harmon something more than
twelve thousand, showing that the party
is now more than three-fourths Pro-
gressive, or about threefourths Pro-
gressive. The Republican party IN Ne
braska is Progressive in about the same
proportion.
And the situation in Nebraska is
not materially different from the situa-
tion throughout the country west Of the
Alleghanies. In the recent Republican
primaries fully two-thirds of the Re-
publican vote was cast for candidates
representing Progressive policies. In
this convention the Progressive sentt-
ment is overwhelming.
Every candidate has proclaimed him.
self a Progressive-no candidate would
have any considerable following In this
convention If he admitted himself out
of harmony with Progressive ideas. BY
your resolution adopted night before
last you, by a vote OF more than four
to one, pledged the country that you
would nominate for the Presidency no
man who represented or was obligated
to Morgan, Ryan, Belmont or any other
member of the privilege-seeking. favor
hunting class.
This pledge. il kept. will have more
influence on the result Of the election
than the platform or the name of the
candidate. How can that pledge be
made effective? There is but one way
namely, TO nominate a candidate who Is
under no obligation to those whom these
influences directly or indirectly control.

When we were instructed for Hr.

Clark's representatives appealed for sup
port on no other ground. They con-
tended that Mr.. Clark was more pro-
gressive than Mr.. Wilson, and indlg-
nantly denied that there was any CO.
operation between Mr.. Clark and the re-
dictionary element of the party. Upon
no other condition could Mr.. Clark have
received a plurality Of the Democratic
vote Of Nebraska.
