PROGRESSivES WILL INCREASE

From the far east end of Montana,
Colonel Sam Gordon surveys the
stu alton in this state with the erudi.
tion Of q scholar and with the exper-
fence of a mar who has seen more
campaigns here than almost any other
man who Is now engaged in newspaper
work. In his Yellowstone Journal,
Colonel Gordon gives US the result of
his observations, in these words:
That machine-made politics have
seen their day in Montana is very evil
dent to the careful observer of politi-
cal conditions within the ranks of the
republican party of the state. In all
counties, the progressive republicans
are organizing, and when it comes to
delegates to the republican state con-
vention will be found to be men who
are in sympathy with the progressive
republican movement.
The old line republican finds him
self very much at home in this new
order of things, for the party of his
choice has always been q of prog.
ress and reform. and he will not stand
for the grand old party to be gobbled
up by the interests aud the party ma.
chine prostituted for the benefit of a
favored few.
No mere handful of crafty men can
dictate everything politically in this
state. The republicans want reform,
and the progressive principles as pro
posed voice the true sentiments o.
seventy five per cent of the voters O
the state.
Progressive republicans will con
tinue to increase In numbers as tn,
broad, general principles of the move
ment are understood by the voters
and II the party Is to come into it

THE VOTE.

A striking fact revealed 10 every
republican state which has had q
pre- sidential primary thus far is that
the republican poll maintains its old
ascendancy. There is no indication
nywhere that the party is losing
ground, comments the St. Louis
Globe Democrat. This is q welcome
manifestation to all elements OF the
republicans. The supporters of Taft,
Roosevelt, LaFollette and Cummins
can all rejoice over this revelation OF
the strength of their party on the eve
of the greatest national plebiscite. 1t
means that il the ticket, whoever
heads it, gets q fairly complete vote
of the party it will carry the country.
Nobody will be surprised that the
republicans held q long lead In the
prim aries in Pennsylvania, nor is
there any cause for surprise at their
ascendancy in Illinois, although the
democrats have been claiming that
state for Novem Der. But the republi-
can lead in the primaries in Nebraska
and Oregon is something which many
republicans did not look for. Both
Of those states have been claimed by
ats all along. The democrats
have half of Nebraska's congressional
delegates In each house, as chosen In
1910, and they have a majority in the
legislature. They have one of Ore
CONS senator's, and they carried that
state for governor in 1910. But in the
prim aries 10 each state a few days ago
the republicans showed q good-sized
lead.
There is a reasonable certainty, as
indicated by the votes for delegates
this far, that the verdict of 1910 for
congress will be reversed for both
congress and president in 1912. This
is Just what democrats as we'll as re-
publicans had q right to expect. While
the result ia 1910 was a republican de-
feat, it vas not a democratic victory.
Enough republicans ia all the close
congressional districts remained away
from the polls in that year to give the
democrats a majority In the house.
No republican swung I'VE to the dem
ocratic side. The aggregate demo-
cratic vote was much smaller in that
year than 1t was for congress or pres.
ident two years earlier. The interest
shown in the primaries in the past few
weeks, however. indicates that there
will be no republican sulking in 1912.
AS shown by the votes in the states
which have held their primaries thus
Tar, all the republicans are likely &c
go to the polls in November, which
will mean that the party which has
held the presidency in recent years
will oct AN extension Of its mand ate.

is the subject of timely comment by Q
writer in the Outlook. Rsce NJ public
speeches by the rival aspirants for the
republican presidential nomin alton
are used az q text for the article,
which says in part:
Against this change from discussion
of public questions to controversy
over hidden motives the public opinion
of the American people ought to set
itself like q wall of granite. It may
satisfy the i'll temper Of come subordi-
nate politicians, it may supply with
headline news some newspaper editors
who ~gleefully enjoy any quarrel that
does not endanger themselves, but It
does no good to the country, it en-
lightens no voter as to his duty at the
polls. 1t contributes nothing to the
cause of public Justice and social
welfare.
Alteration in public over questions
of personal motive 10 to be resisted
on three grounds:
First, it ia not given to any man to
read another mans heart. Those
who pass judgment on other mems
motives are not thereby given proof
OF being actu ated by high motives
themselves. Certainly, neither any In
dividual nor any company of men has
been initiated into that place where
the secrets of all hearts are revealed.
Second, in a public alteration e
hidden motives the controversial ad.
vantage is always with the man who
has least scruples about violating
condolences. It is an never game,
with the odds against the most con-
scientious. Public opinion should
discountenance q contest of that sort.
Third, public controversy over pri-
vate motives is of no service to the
public. 1t 10 often necessary to pass
judgment upon o mans actions in the
light of his public record. But this is
very different from passing judgment
on a mans character and motives.
The issue before the country should
be kept clear. 1t 10 twofold. On the
n hand, 1t is an issue between two
t~endencies-the tendency to c%onserva-
tism and the tendency toward pro.
gress: the tendency toward ~distrusting
the popular judgment and the tend.
ency toward giving the popular judg-
ment larger play: the tendency to-
ward restraining democracy and the
tendency toward curing the Ills OF
democracy by more democracy.
The people of the country should
make 1t clear that what they wish is to
study the relative merits of these two
opposite methods of administration
undistracted by useless alteration
over personalities.
