Question Of Individual Rights
Separates the Two Parties,
Declares State Chairman.
DEMOCRATS WILL DIVIDE
Progressive Doctrine Would
Lead to Frightful Injustice,
Leader Warns at Al
bany Dinner.

Albany. Feb. G.-"The Republican
party and the Progressive party in
their public expression on the question
Of individual rights are as wide apart
as the North Pole and the South Pole.
Otherwise there is no great difference
in the concrete proposals Of the two
parties"
William Barnes. jr. chairman of the
Republican state Committee, made tins
assertion tonight at the annual dinner
Of the Albany County Republican or
ganization I'm reply TO the suggestion
that the Republican and Progressive
parties amalgamate.
AT its convention in Baltimore said
Mr. Barnes. the Democratic party. eN-
pecting victory through the assault
upon Republicanism by a part OF IT'S
former membership. was discrectly
silent on the question Of individual
rights but there are thousands of men
who voted for Mir. Wilson who think az
we think on that subject and also
thousands who think as the socialistic
mind thinks.
NO man can foretcll when the De-
mocracv must undergo the same treat
ment that the Republicans experienced
at Chicago in 1912. But il is a matter
Of time only when the Democrats Will
insist upon knowing for what they are
voting. as the Republicans and Pro-
gressivcS insisted i'm the last campaign.
While necessary division in Democratic
thought is impending. il is rather
strange to hear of the proposal that the
Republican party and the Progressive
party amalgamate.
"Th" Republican party and the Pro-
gressive party in their public express
sion on this one point are as wide apart
as the North Pole and the South Pole.
We believe that the Republican posi-
ton Of security TO individual rights IL
the cornerstone Of our governmental
cdiGcc. and that the Progressive posi-
tior is destructive Of individual rights
and must lead 10 friehtful injustice.
