the only conservative party in
the country would be completely
extinguished.
A fourth possibility is that the
Socialists may increase in num-
bers enough to force all nom
Socialists, under whatever party
name, to combine against them.
That is what the Socialists them
selves predict.
Finally, there is the possibility
that all the parties may be COM
pletely reorganized, whether
their names are changed or mott
The chance that this may haps
pen rests on the anomalous cir
cumstance thatin all Of the par
ties except those of which social
ism is the avowed aim, there are
two distinct tendencies and two
factions. The Republican split
is evident. The division in the
Democratic party was as clearly
revealed, first, by the revolt of
the conservatives against Bryan
lin 1896, 1900 and 1908; and
second, by the revolt of the radi-
Gals against Parker in 1904. 1t
is possible that there may be
gradual exchange of members
between the two that will give
the country two great parties,
the one radical and the other con-
sentative.
The country would certainly be
far better governed if the next
contest should be between two
parties each fairly united in ten
dency and opinion; but reorgani-
cation has seemed inevitable
more than once in the last quar-.
ter of a century,, and has not
yet been effected.

Friends Of Governor Hall both
in New Orleans and over State,
are criticising him for the in;ec-
tion of politics in affairs in New
Orleans which should be entirely
free from such. The action Of
Governor Hall in asking for the
resignation of certain members
of the dock commission was
prompted by no desire nor inten.
ton of supplanting these gentle
men with men more capable or
trustworthy. He was prompted
solely by a desire to hand out
these salaries to men whom he
believed could be relied upon to
enhance his political prestige in
the Crescent City-men who
would serve in helping to COM
plete a machine he has been so
consistently working to build up
ever since he was elected gov.
ernor.
Governor Hall, of course, can
force the resignation Of these
men, but in so doing he is accom-.
plishing nothing for the benefit
OF the city Of New Orleans and
is at the same time losing the
friendship of many who have
heretofore held him in high es-

The Future of Parties.

What is to be the future OF our
partiesno one would venture to
predict. All that even the most
diligent student of our history
and politics can do is merely to
mention and discuss such posi-
biIities as he sees.
This is the situation: The Re-
publican party, which is in con-
troll of the government today and
will remain so until next March.
has split into two factions, the
regular Republicans and the
Proaressives, each of which In
the recent campaign warred far
mere vigorously against the other
than it did against the Demo-
Gratis. The regular Republicans
were 0utyoted by the seeding
Progresslyes, both in respect to
the popular and to the electoral
vote, and today show a weak
ness comparable to that of the
Wing party in 1852. The Pro-
gressives, on the other hand,
flushed with their success IN
dividing the party to which they
until a few months ago, promise
to continue their organization.
That is what makes the pres
ent situation so puzzling. Bear
in,mind that the Republican party
Was the conservative party,
and that the division that
created the Progressives was
brought about by the secession OF
those who, under the lead Of Mr..
Roosevelt, had subscribed to rad
ical principles, and who now
form new radical party. For,
although the Progressives take a
Hamiltonian rather than a Jeffer-
sonian view Of government, they
have so much in common with
the Democrats especially in
their program Of social and po-
litical reform that they might
be expected, if not to join the
Democratic party, az least to ally
themselves with it. That, how
ever, they do not de-. Now there
are three other parties, the
Prohibitionist, the Socialist and
the Social-Labor party, each OF
which, although it has principles
peculiar to itself, urges the con-
stitutional changes demanded by
the Progressives and the Demo
Gratis. Thus there are five par
ties that advocate certain radical
measures, and one only, the Re-
publican party, that holds mod
erately conservative views.
The situation is extraordinary,
and suggests several possibilities
One is that the existing align.
mant of parties may continue
during the next four years al
least. In that case the Demo
Gratis will again be successful in
1916, for they will be arrayed, a.
they were in the last election
against one conservative party
and four more or less radica
parties, which, although substan
tally agreeing with them il
principle, yet forfeit their due
share in the administration by
refusing to join them.
Another possibility is that, il
spite of its present purposes, thu
Progressive party may gradual!
dissolve. That has been the usua
fate Of third parties. Tht
Greenbackers, the Populist'
and the Silver Republicans wer'
each in turn strong for a time
but lost their members to tn
two stronger parties when thu
issues to which they owed thei
origin were decided. But agains
the probability that anything
tike that will happen in the cas-
of the ProgressIves must be Sc

Despite the attempts of police and
firemen to clear the aisles and at
tempts of Chairman Beveridge to be
heard the demonstration continued 81
minutes. 1t was unmarked by spor-
adic cheering of a planned demonstra-
ton, but was a continuous roar Dur
ing the bedlam Funk, Progressive
candidate for governor of Illinois, ap-
peared on the platform and literally
threw his hat into the ring.
Mrs. Roosevelt sat in a stage box
and cheered as the colonel threw
kiss to her.

nit a picture to be taken.

AS the shouting continued the
chant, I'VE want Teddy" becae gen
eral throughout the building. Roose-
welt stood shaking hands with the
Grand Army drum corps on the plat
form. At thi juncture a Confederate
from Tennessee shook hands with the
colonel and slapped him on the back
while the southern delegation cheered
wildly.
Mrs. NJ E. Ferdinand of Detroit,
wearing a huge placard reading,

through the aisles on the shoulders of
the Michiganders and Roosevelt
shook hands with himself, as a greet
ing to the woman, whom he couldn't

Roosevelt with prespiration stream
ing from his face, mopped it with a
huge red bandana and tramped back
and forth on the stage. When a doz-
Ell Confederate veterans rushed to the
platform TO shake hands, giving the
rebel yell, Roosevelt shouted like a
school boy and permitted himself to
be pushed about and pounded on the
back by the elderly southerners.
When the Texas standard, a huge
flag attached, was brought
to the stage, the demonstration be-
came so great the firemen offered TO
forcibly clear the aisles, but failed.
Beveridge then led Jane Adams
to the stage, where, blushing, she
shook hands with the colonel, who led
her to seat near his.
Miss Kate Sutherland of Los An
geles, aged "A, was carried to the
platform by the policemen and others.
Roosevelt warmly greeted Mrs.
Davis, who started the Hadley demon
stration at the Republican conven.
tion, and was escorted to the railing
by Lissner, where Dixon led her to

The delegates then discovered Mrs.
Roosevelt and gave her the "Chau-

knowledged it.
