DIR CLEGHORN DISAGREED
WITH.
A Correspondent OF The journal
Says IA Few Things for Benefit OF
Its Readers.

To the Editor OF the Journal
have read the letter In youI
last issue written by Mr. Cleghorn.
II Is very true that close con.
tests between parties always tends
TO the nomination OF better men fol
Office, and 1t Is no doubt true that
the Republican party has nominated
better men In many cases because
OF the expected closoness of cleo.
ton.
The same would be true whatever
virtues or faults of the party re-
sponslble for the contest, SO this Is
no argument to support principles OF
the Progressives.
The statement of Mr.. Cleghorn
that practically every soul who has
exerted himself for better conditions
Is In the roster OF the Progressives
VIII bear some investigation,
10 1t not rather true that the
party is composed largely of men
who have never taken any part il
politics either for better or foI
worse, or who have composed the
grand army of "kickers"
II those same individuals had TAX
en- half the interest In the party
eaucuses Of the old parties, they
could have easily effected the same
result and accomplished some lasting
good.
Take out the sore heads, the kick
ere who only kick, and the discon-
tented who always want chance
and | think the remainder of the
Progressive party will prove to be
office sookers.
This is pretty near true in Yer
mont.
We must no forget one other ele-
ment Of the Progressives, those
who blindly followed the High
Priest of Discomfort. They will
wake us some dya, as did Wallace
Batchclder, but the rest, We viii
always have them In our midst. Per-
haps they are useful, In their way
but, thank the Lord, they are al
ways in the minority.
