Progressive Republican Conference.

tChicago Tribune.1
Citizens calling themselves republic
cans and citizens calling themselves
progressives or democrats should eX-
tend greetings to the progressive re-
publican senators and congressman
who are meeting in Chicago today.
Among them are the pioneers who
first rebelled against the dominance
of the Aldrich- Cannon machine.
Among them are men who were lead
ers in last years fight to put the re-
publican party under the control Of
the people.
They were defeated in that fight by
dishonest parliamentary rulings. dis
honest seating of delegates, barefaced
fraud
AS result the party that repudiated
the people were repudiated by the
people.
Millions of republican voters left the
party, many leaders lief. the party.
Some leaders elected to stay in the
republican party and continue to fight
to redeem it from the control Of cor
ruptionists.
With SO many progressive republf-
cans gone into the progressive party.
the fght will be difficult. But good
fight is the more creditable when
fought against odds and at personal
sacrifice.
And so it is that not only republ-
cans who want TO see their party re-
deemed from shame and again domi-
nant but all patriotic Americans OF
all parties will wish success to the
battling progressive republican.

The fight for an honest state wide
direct primary law is not personal

This Is the beginning Of the end OF

was no. perfect Having to struggle
