titled to the Chicago nomination. then
they should in consistency insist that
they still constitute the majority of

and revOlutionized it's basis of repre-

possession of their own again at the
next republican nominating conven-
ton.
There is no doubt that the progress
sives were in the majority among the
repu blicans in 1912, and were unable to
make that majority effective at the
nominating convention in Chicago partly
on account of the unfair representa-
tive basis on which the convention was
however, equally responsible with the
conservatives for this inequitable ap-
portionment of delegates. The radical
progressives made their point against
cago convention. They bolted and de-
feated the candidate of that convention.
If, then. the next republican cOnven-
, tion is formed on equitable lines. fairly
representing po e n / a republican
strength in the states before the Chi
cago disruption. why should they not
resume the commanding position in
the organization to which their num-
bers entitle them, if they are not barred
from returning by those who have re-
NAMED technically regular? And the
same considerations which would bring
them to the. republican camp should
cause the progressive regulars to give
them a hearty welcome.
The republican progressives now di-
vided between Taft and Roosevelt
camps are entitled in natural combina-
tion to possession and control of the
republican banner. and ought not to
permit themselves to be denied it by
Roosevelt or Taft or both men COM

gressiyes are thus divided into hostile

tested and that only one-fourth of the
scales are inspected in any way at all,
