The safety q country, is declared, be assured only under the guardianship of the which dom the period it's greatest growth and advancement
 It is by literature that the party made fatal error when, in moment of temptl- tion and under the domination of machine bosses last year. it dsregarded the will of the majority The extraordinary plea offered that the repub- Ican party not alone in it's offending; that the democratic party at Baltimore also nominated a minority candidate. That true but he nom mated according established rule however unyyise might have been. The propreties not disregarded and decency not outraged
 One letter issued by the republican national committee that what happened at Chi cago q year ago last June will happen again; that early meeting of the committee at tempt will be made readjust the representation that the committee would be powerless to peat it's crime know. it is asserted, whether the committee really has authority safe guard majority against further crime by the committee but that matter will be threshed at the meeting.
 The indications are everywhere that the ganizaton will have to proceed without the aid or the presence progressives. and there be one longing the flesh pots but for every one who becomes "reorganzed" there will be many republicans and democrats to take his place in the progressive ranks.

Certainly this: "The reorganization of the republican party-for 1t will amount to that-means that progressive policies will become republican principles just rapidly as a majority of republicans be convinced of their wisdom" This is elusive and shadowy. It is SO transparent conceal the fact that progressive party work more effectively alone for principles than it could work handi- capped by waiting be convinced of the wis those principles, and already doubtful of their wisdom that will require proof to remove the doubt That is, the republican leaders are in that state mind which units men to serve as jurors justice is to be done.
