The nomination of Taft is entirely in

The nomination of Taft is entirely in
place. As stand.pat candidate he
fits the scenery admirably. He is
kindly, courteous, well-intentioned.
The man who believes in things as they
have been will find in him fit leader.
And whether that mans party label
heretofore has been Republican or
Democrat, matters nothing-he now
belongs by right of party realignment
to the party of conservatism, the party
of "let well enough alone.'
Out of the Baltimore convention
comes newborn Democracy. After
sixteen years of struggle the progress
i've principles has swept it boards clean,
written it's virile platform and nomi-
mated candidate whose record is that
of a reformer. And in passing be it
said that if the new Democracy is to
sweep the nation and restore govern
ment to the people, that to William j.
Bryan belongs large part of the cred
it. By laying aside personal ambition
he has held together his party. estab-
lished its course for the coming days,
and written himself into current his
tory as the one man of our time who
does not need the presidency to en-
nance his power or his fame. He has
fought good fight. He has kept the
faith. And in spite of his failings,
which are many, and because of his
passionate adherence to the elemen.
tary principles of democracy, he has
won victory out of his own triple de-
feat. Nor may any man dare say that
he has finished his course.
In the Democratic platform and nomi-
nee, Privilege can find little of kinship
and sympathy. But in both these the
average voter will find that new spirit
of reform demanded by the progress
i've mind. To the Ryan's the Bel
mont's the McCormick's the big and
little believers in Things As They
We're, this candidate and this platform
will appear as menace. And such of
these as have carried the badge of De-
mocracy must seek shelter behind the
sentry lines Of the opposing camp,
their natural confederates and allies.
There is no room in the new Republic
can party for progressive; there is
none in the new Democratic party for
for stand-patter. While the division
may not be made complete during this
campaign the parting of the ways has
come, and new era in politics is al
ready here.

New Party Lines Forming.

Never has there been time in Am.
erican history when fundamental prin-
ciples of economic and social justice
stood out clearly before men as they
do today. Never before has the indi.
vidual been so dwarfed, and the cause
for which he has stood so mastered the
people. In this Cay of asserted "per-
sonal LEADERSHIP" men are great or small
as they espouse or deny the principles
for which men are striving.
Bear this in mind in this hour of the
death Of the two old political parties,
and the birth of conservative party
on the one hand and progressive par
ty on the other. Taft, Roosevelt, sLa-
Toilette, Bryan, Clark, Wilson-these
names are but pawns with which men
deal in large concepts of government.
They are not for Taft, the man; but
for Taft as embodying the undying
principle of conservatism, and essen
tally the same mon are for Harmon,
and Clark and :Roosevelt-for Wall
Street and the Uuited States Steel,
Standard Oil, and the Established Or
der. On the;other hand, men favor
La Toilette, Cummins, Bryan and Will
son, because in them they see embod-
led those ideals of progress and justice
for which they long have been looking,
and some time striving. The former
naturally group about conservative
center; the latter seek for and have
found progressive leader ship. Both at
titudes of mind are understandable, le-
gitimate, necessary. Both cannot long
continue in the same party at the same
time. Sooner or later the re-grouping
of progressives and conservatives had
to come. 1t is taking place!
The Republican party of 1S6O-l912 is
no more. The name exists, but the
divided councils and vaccillating lead
ership have ceased to be. 1t is now
reactionary. 1t has declared itself the
reactionary. 1t has declared itself the
party of stand patism. 1t has sloughed
off certain element, another large
faction will leave later on. 1t must
take to itself the homeless stand-pat
tiers of the old Democracy. Like Gaul
of old it's voters today are divided into
three parts-those who believe in the
principles of which Taft is the fitting
exemplar; those who are ructionary,
rather than reactionary or progressive;
and, finally, those whose purpose it is
to support certain definite principles
of progress, irrespective of party label.

of Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt says
he is for progressivism. 1t he means
what he says, he Willie must-with-
draw his third party candidacy and

Bryan a progressive? Roosevelt can
not consistently lead a progressive
party of his own without meeting the
cherge that he has abandoned princi-

success.

You'd that it means nothing save per-

selves in the new Democracy with
those who stand for and may achieve
the thing they themselves profess.
If they desire TO do so, Roosevelt,
La Toilette, Cummins, Bristow. John

the progressive faith, may make the
new Democracy vital and living

Let them at this time spouse its

ner, and help to share its future. If
they, like Bryan, forget themselves in
the great need of this day of rebuild
ing, then in truth new party of the

they fail to measure up to the demands
