MERE POLITICAL. DEVICE,
SAYS CHARLES .. HILLES

lison, all members of the stand pat"

ator Spooner has resigned And the
places of these men have been taken by
those who are known as Progressives.
In the house similar changes within
the Republican party have taken place
Mr.. Cannon has retired from the speak
ership but even before he was retired
by a Democratic majority he had been
stripped of his power by Republican
Progressives, foremost of whom was
Representative Gardner. Of Massachu-
sets, one of the staunchest support
ers of President Taft Representative
Dalzell has failed of denomination.
President Taft although he did not
deem it proper for the head of one
branch of the government so far to in
terfere with another coordinate branch
as to compass the defeat of Mr.. Cannon,
who was a candidate for re- election
and whose reelection President Roose-
welt had never cared to oppose, did lend
encouragement to those who opposed
the reelection of the speaker, and he
gave his cordial support to those who
the house rules whereby the speakers
power was Curtailed.
Nor has President Taft ever opposed
any progressive movement in the SEN
ate. The charge that he sought to dis
cipline certain senators by Withholding
patronage because they were progress
sives is false. He did bring pressure to
bear on senators who, calling them
selves progressives, sought to block pro-
gressive legislation for purposes of their
own and who did hesitate to misrepre-
sent the administration and the railway
rate bill it sought to have enacted.
OF course, the defeated insurgents lost
no opportunity to misrepresent the ad-
ministratiOn and the bill but the people
have been enjoying the benefits of that
bill just the same, and only recently
were the express companies of the coun-
try ordered to reduce their rates under
provision of that very bill.

frail political barque which has no mo-
tive power but the ambition of its cap
tain, no compass but the whims of a
political opportunist.
Neither is it progressive to attempt to
launch a new political party with such a
platform as was adopted by the Third
Termers at Chicago. That pronounce
ment is not "a confession of faith" 1t
is merely a collection of disconnected
propositions, each of which may be ad-
vOcated by some progressive, but none
of which is advocated by all, and which
was concocted solely for the purpose of
tempting the fancy of wide variety of
economic thinkers.
1t includes fragments of so many
varying and even differing schools of
economic thought that it viii never

No man can be at once a Socialist
and an anarchist, a single taXer. a pro-
tectionst and free trader. But the
Third party platform contains its bid
for the support of each. 1t is the inge-
NOUS device of politician who under
estimates the capacity Of the people to
think for themselves.
Then, too, the Third party has no
reason for being other than the over
weaving ambition of one man again to
enjoy the power and prerogative of the
highest office in the land. Its candi
date is not a progressive at heart. Had
he been he would have eliminated him
self and devoted his energies at the Re
publican national convention to nomi-
mating some well known Progressive
like Governor Hadley or Senator Cum
Minis. But he wanted only the nomina-
ton for himself, and even the sugges-
ton that he deliver his support to an
other aroused him to an almost insane
fury
And once President Taft was nomi-
mated there was no excuse for seeking
to disrupt the Republican party, for 1t
was and is the party of progress. 1t
