Judge Allen; who comes, as he says,
from the extreme Sunny south,s
dwelt almost entirely on the actions
o. the two old parties, his direct and
blunt attacks on both the democratic
and republican parties met with the
approval Of his hearers, his talk being
interrupted time and again by ap.
applause. Judge Aliens talk In part
follows: d.. -, ~
Il am from the extreme southern
part of the sunny south, and come to
join hands with the people of the
north to help promote the cause Of
the progressive party. la
II believe that the split-up at Chi.
cago of the republican party and the
formation Of new party at this time
was providential. s%.G # il
with the birth and success of the
republican party our country was di-
vided into sections, solid south and
solid north. During this more than
half century of the existence of the
republican party, the south has re-
NAMED solid. With conditions as they
have been and as they are now, the
south will remain practically solid,
for it will be impossible in the future,
as in the past, to build up the repub-
lican party SO as to constitute a con-.
tending force of any consequence
against the democratic party in the
south. Our people realize the neces-
sity for new party. q
"The democratic party of the south,
naturally reactionary, preaching the
same doctrine of states rights and mar
row construction, is divided between
progressives and reactionaries, the
same as the republican party has been
in the north. We recognize the fact
that political bosses largely dominate
and the political machines have been
built up in both old parties, which are
controlled in the interests of corrupt
politicians and crooked business
With the progressive sentiment of the
country divided, with part in the dem
ocratic party and part IN the repub.
lican party, there can be no hope Of
success for progressive principles.

North Dakota, alike, are interested in
