team. the American committee which has
the details In connection with the sports
In hand finds itself confronted with sew
eral serious problems in connection with
the forwarding OF entries for the games
This state OF affairs rs occasioned by
the rule OF the Swedish olympic commit
tee. which has specified that no entry
can be considered unless received by the
dates specified In the program for entries
for the various competitions, provision
being made. however, that for nom
European countries the entries win close
eight days after tho time specified. viz,
June is. which would make 1t incumbent
upon the committee To get the American
entries off In order to have them received
In time before the tryouts are held.
To meet this contingency II Is proposed
to put Into operation the scheme OF having
the various sections. Pacific west. central

VIII SONS AVAILABILITY
CAN HE BE ELECTED
BY S. r. Cannon.

It is not a sufficient claim that
Woodrow Wilson is a great Democrat
to warrant his nomination next June;
nor that he is the most intellectual
political leader of recent times; not
even that he is admirably Mt to be
president. The final test Of his can
didacy is his availability. Can he
be elected?
1t is a foolish optimism that leads
one to believe any Democrat the con-
vention may nominate can be elected
next fall. What sort of Democrat,
then, can be? A careful analysis Of
the situation gives the answer.
To every candid observer 1t is plain
that the old party lines are only arti-
fetal, that a re-ahgnment is inevita-
bly, taking place The real division
in politics is now between ProgFessives
and Conservatives or Liberals and
Tories. AS Wilson has himself ex-
pressed It: The great division Is be-
tween those who see the things that
ought to be done and are ready to do
them, and those who do not see them
and therefore do not do them, or, see
ing them, are unwilling to attempt
them. The cleavages OF politics are
now beginning to cape just there be-
tween those who will and those who
those who stand pat"
The issue is as clear as the divis-
ion is complete. One side stands for
government responsible to the people
directly: the other, for all the old
Federalist caution and suspicion OF
popular government. One side stands
for the elimination of machine control;
the other tolerates II and benefits by
its support One side includes the in
terest of all the people; the other con-
siders first the interests Of a special
class. In both the great parties are
these two irreconcilable elements, each
seeking to control the party policy and
the next administration.
But there will be Progressive party
IN America, as the natural evolution OF
our politics; and that party which
proves worthy and fit to execute a
wise progressive program will be the
Liberal party Of the nation. 1t Will
be the party closest to the people, and
it will be the party they will entrust
with power.
Enthusiastically the controlling temper
of the country today is Progressive.
Whether or NOS the demand can be
satisf1ed-which the Democratic con-
vention will determine-the demand is
urgent for a Progressive administra-
ton to succeed President Taft. II is
this stern fact which keeps Republi-
cans wake of nights. Every indica-
ton gives assurance that If the Demo-
cratic party is in position TO pledge
to execute a progressive administra-
tive pohcy-which can be secured only
by the choice of a candidate in whom
a progressive program can find full
