gressive ticket, in Chicago, today. on

that the defeat was merely an incident
of tine Progressive fight and "of little

cess of earnest men than was the miss
ing OF a train"
Tined with his campaign but with
determined bearing and undated
force, he sounded what he character
lied as a new call to the moose" and
then gave the call to his followers to
BERN a fight for 1914 and 1916.
I'VE might express our determine
ton in the words of Abraham Lin
coin" he said.
".All we have to do is to keep the
faith. retain steadfast to the right;

your guns and victory, complete and

THE lasting and permanent victory
was won by Progressives, Tuesday, in
the capitalization of a great public SEN
timent founded upon a moral concep-
ton.
THAT immediate success did not
come to the candidates is of no con-
sequence. The big thing has been ac-
eonplished. There new party IN the
nation that has come TO stay, new
spirit in Americanism that means ul1-
rnately real progress; new lie IN poi=
itics that marks a better national eX7

their baptism of fire. They are unairald

tion everywhere.
