safe leadership.
"Progressives should support Wilson,
not only in order to secure his cleo
ton, but in order to enable him after
election to carry out those Progress
sive policies which he has so much at
heart. His nomination ranks among
the most encouraging events in Amer
lean history Under the masterful
and mastery leadership of Col. Bryan
the ideals of American Democracy
triumphed over the reactionaries of
their money bags; the will of the peo-
pie prevailed over the devices of the
machine.
THE Democratic party has purified
itself and has been purged of its as
sociations, so far as it is possible to
accomplish this end by the action of a
National Convention. But the strug-
gle of privilege for privilege is unend-
ing and omnipresent That struggle
is as subtle as it is determined. The
struggle will not close when Wilson
is elected We may be sure that every
effort he may make as President to
carry out the Progressive policies will
meet with stubborn resistance from
the possessors and apostles of privi-
lege. Without loyal support from the
Progressives of the country Wilson's
war upon unjust privilege must be
futile. The Progressive cause can
succeed only if it has loyal support
from the Progressives. 1t can fail
only if the Progressives fail in their
duty of giving to Wilson that full sup
port"
