Socialists Revolutionary; Progress
sives Evolutionary.


Ray Staunard Baker, writing in the
July American Magazine, says in part:
THE Socialist party places its main
lemphasis upon its economic program,
which it has worked out with extraordi-
nary comprehensiveness. Where the Pro
gressive is often hazy in regard to his
economic views the Socialists admits no
doubt. Where the Socialist would leap
at once to radical economic changes, the
Progressive, on the other hand, would
build his political machinery very care
| fully before he attempts to produce
economic results. Where Socialism is
revolutionary. the Progressive movement
Lis evolutionary.
Thus we stand to-day in the midst of
/ great thiugs-a great time-a time of
immense vitality. growth, change, devel
opnent. 1t is true that there is a large
class in the country-those who are Sc
cure. those who wish To enjoy without
labor, those who are old or those who i
lteinpranlentaily fearful OF new and adj
venintons ways--who look npon the
situation asSnensring and oninous

unquestionnbly look upon ihe> presen,
lsitnation not Only without fear but with
hopefulness. To them ii means awaken.

life II means that antigua, ed forms are
breaking up, that the soil of orr common
life is fertile fer the growth of new ideas,
thatsnew leaders are taking the field. II
is the opportunity that new age offers to
an adventurous youth.
1T is just as certain as anything can
be that the spirit of progressiveness is
going to win in the country--that there
Is going to be finer scientific attitude
toward public affairs, adeeper desire for
truth, that we are going 10 be far more
sensitive to human rights. that we are
going to work for better relationship be-
tween men and nations, and that our
vision is going to be incidentally wild
ened. And with such spirit prevailing.
there must be more real democraev. the

tendency TO be looked for not with ter.
ror, but with the highest hope and the
surest faith.
1T is easy and cheap to dismiss Pro-
gressive and Socialist leaders by calling
them demagogues and agitators, but the
stubborn fact remains that they represent

FRIDAY, JULY s, 1912.

notwithstanding the Democratic
National Convention at Baltimore has
been in session for more than week, at
this writing, Tuesday morning. it seems
no nearer nominatian than when the
balloting first began. At that time
Champ Clark was in the lead, as far as
the vote of delegates was concerned,
with Woodrow Wilson good second.
and Wilson sentiment in the galleries
strong. Since then the New Jersey Cover
nor has passed Clark in the vote, and the
candidacy Of the Speaker of the House
now seems hopeless. While the Wilson
sentiment has steadily grown it is impos-
sible TO forecast the outcome Of the dead
lock, after forty-two ballots.
From the outset it has been strng-
gle for supremacy in the convention OF
the Ryan-Belmont-M Murphy combination,
representing the Wall street Influences,
and the progressive democrats beaded by
William Jennings Bryan, whose ability.
courage of convictions, uprightness aud
unfaltering stand for the peoples inter-
ests cannot be successfully impugned.
The distrnst and suspicion under which
the Ryan Belmont Murphy combination.
which controls the New York dele.
cation. is held, is clearly shown frouitiie
fact that the candidacy Of Speaker Clark
has not had the popular support Of the
people from the time this New York con.
tingent cast its ooSvotes in his column,
the fear Of deal with the predatory in
terests of the country going with every
vote cast by the delegation, proving a
detriment rather than help TO the can.
