Setback to Progressive RepubIcanism

| Senator LaFollette's physical break
down has eliminated him as a pres
idential candidate if not as direct
factor in the Republican situation.
| While his illness may not turn out to
| be as serious as some Of his best
/ friends fear, there is no doubt that
| he is d sick man, and the announce
ment by his manager that he will
probably not be able to fill any cam
paign dates in the near future, COM
bined with the utterances of such
intimate political friends and ad-
visers as George L. Record and Uni
ted States Senator Clapp, leaves
room for no other belief than that
the senator is virtually out of field
as an active candidate for the pres
idential nomination.
This development is a serious set
back to the Progressive Republican
movement Senator LaFollette was
the only candidate who typified this
movement. He was it's natural and
logical leader. He was the only
| Republican candidate in whom the
very spirit of the movement was
embodied. Only under him could
it have in his party the advantage OF
| the aggressive, answering and un-
compromising leadership which is
necessary to it's rapid growth and
| final success. What we mean is ILL

gressive believers are tn"1ing to

Progressive standard. 1t is step
toward compromise and surrender.
Roosevelt sometimes talks in Pro-
gressive vein. He is liberal-minded
on some subjects, but Roosevelt is
is not in any way real part of the
Progressive movement of the day.
On the whole he is not any more
Progressive than President Taft him
self; he talks more boldly once in a
while than the president ever talks,
but Mr. Taft, surrounded as he is
with Tories, conservative as he is by
nature, has really done some few
things as president that Col. Roose-
velt utterly failed to do when he
was president. Unsatisfactory as is
Mr.. Taft's course on the tariff he

matter of fact, Roosevelt was a
Standpatter when a question as to
the tariff was raised.
| Between Roosevelt and Taft the Pro-
gressive Republicans have sorry
choice to make. Many, of course, will

few are likely to support Taft as
against Roosevelt. Thus the progress

Progressive movement lacks adequate
