titular manager of the malordorous campaign for the renomination of Taft last year and who lost his seat Tn Congress as result, is another of the real Republican leaders who do not feel the need of party reorganization. He has already announced his intention to put the temper of the people or ms district to another test next year D! running again for Congress.
 q should run," he said, recently, "eyen if I were positive that l shoulc be beaten, but I don't believe that shall be-"
 The standpat Republicans of Kansas have called a netting to be held Tn Topeka on June 3rd which they are advertising as harmony meeting and the ostensible purpose of which is to bring about, if possible, union of Progressives and Republicans. The ef- fort has been under way for several weeks and has met with no favorable response whatever from ProgreSslVes, Despite this fact, the standpatters have endeavored to create the impression that a number of Progressives would attend the meeting and would join in plans to effect the union so heart fly desired by the Republicans. The only attention which Kansas Progress can scheme was in the assembling in Topeka on May 12th of sixty of the prominent Progressive leaders,-men and women,-of the State who unani- mously adopted resolutions declaring against the participation by Progress sives in the Republican meeting and also that there is no doubt whatever that the Progressive Party in Kansas will nominate candidates for Govern or, United States Senator, Congress men in every district, and a complete list of State, county and township officers in 1914"
 Special significance attaches to this action from the presence in the confer ence of J. N. Dolley, the Republican State Chairman and author of the famous Kansas "Blue Sky" law. MT. Dolley made a vigorous speech de nouncing the proposed ''get-togetheI meeting" and declaring that the stand patters in the State have nothing in common with the Progressive Party He urged the Progressives to pursue the path marked out last fall, fight ing for Progressive principles and let ting the standpat Republicans go it alone.
 These old machine men," he said, cannot realize that new life has entered politics; new thing is being enacted They believe yet that the people are only interested in tradition and party names. They think that the voters of Kansas have no other thought of politics than that there is an office to barter for.
 ''The Progressives have nothing to do with the old theory of politics. If they did have, there would be no need of a Progressive Party. You have a fight to make which the old bosses like Albaugh and Mulvane and Curtis and that crowd cannot under stand. Go ahead and make the fight
 q firmly believe that the Progress sives will sweep Kansas in the next election, and that not even a combina tion of Democrats and standpat Re publicans can beat them"
 Mr. Dolley's denunciation of the standpatters is the hardest blow the Republicans in Kansas have received since the split of last year. He con ducted the fight for the Republican ticket last fall and the standpatters were counting on him, because of his we'll known progressive ideas, to brins the Progressives back to the party.
 The standpatters got another jol through the presence in this con ference of Joseph Mercer, chairman of the Chase County Progressive com mittee. The standpatters had been ad vertising that Mr. Mercer had deserted the Progressives and would return tC the Republicans. MT. Mercer told the conference that he was proud to bt chairman of the Progressive committed in his county and that he knew O no Progressive who had the slightes idea of attending the "get-together' meeting in Topeka or of making all, other effort to go back to the stand patters.
 Telegrams were received by the con ference from a score of county chair men who were unable to attend. Vic tor Murdock, Progressive floor lead CT of the House of Representatives sent the following message:
 "The Progressive party is on it
