is to say, instead of fixing the number of dele
gates by Congressional districts, it would worl
out better, everything considerable South
ern delegate situation in particular considere'
TO base the number of delegates on the actua
number of the combined votes cast in the va
rious States for Roosevelt and Taft.
In this way, the convention would consis
of delegates actually representative of the Re
publican and the Progressive voters of th'
country, and this is as it should be. To do eff
cent work, the national conference should bt
kept down to the smallest number of dele
gates that would give representation to every
State.
The men in the Republican and Progres
sive parties who put party name ahead of prin
ciples and policies doubtless will not take kind
ly to this suggestion, or to any similar sugges
ton; the men who put principles and policie:
ahead of name will perhaps see in it way to
the clearing.
Naturally, | should not expect Barnes and
Penrose and Gallinger and Crane and others oi
their type to take kindly to this plan, or to any
other plan looking toward liberal and advanced
ideas. They and Wall Street are conservative
TO the last degree, and are indulging in the Wis.
ion of seeing the Republican party re-estab.
listed on ultra-conservative lines, reactionary
lines.
But it is not within the scope of possibili-
ties to do this The spirit of progress is in con-
troll today in every phase of life and endeavor,
and nowhere more so than in politics. 1t is the
verest folly to indulge in illusions of reaction
ary triumph. .... ... ~.
Moreover, it is not likely that machine
leaders who are in politics for their own glori-
fication, or for what they can get out of it,
would favor any move that would and should
put them out of business. This is the voters
problem to solve 1t is for him to determine
whether he will think and act for himself as a
free man, or will remain puppet in the hands
of the bosses.
A mere name is an empty shell. The col
lective heart and soul and brain and force with
in this shell are the party. The Republicans of
character and sincerity, under another name,
would still have the same ideals and the same
quality of citizenship as they now have. This
is equally true of the Progressives.
The important thing, all else made right, is
a name that would make possible nationwide
party. But nationwide party is not possible
to the Republican men and women of America
under the Republican name.
The name Republican has not been accept.
ed in the South in half-century, and would
not be accepted in half-century to come. The
prejudice there is too deep-rooted-prejudice
both because of the memories of the Civil War,
and because since the war the party has failed
to get a footing in the Southern States as a
white mans party. No party can live and be a
useful political instrument in the South except
it be a white mans party.
The complete dominance of section by
one party, as has been the case in the South

as has been the custom.
1t is very big and tremendously seriou:
undertaking to write with intelligence ane
broad knowledge the platform of big, nation
wide political party. 1t is an instrument oi
craftsmanship, business, humanity, and uplif
to the whole nation.
The platforms of the Republican and the
Progressive parties are in many respects much
the same. On economic policies they substan
TALLY agree. The Progressive platform is freel
from the slavery of tradition, and goes further
in the direction of social justice and industrial
evolution. Moreover, it urges many good poll.
cies not covered by the Republican platform
But the difference between the two would not
seem to be insuperably great if the representa-.
tives of each, meeting on neutral ground,
should try earnestly and honestly to harmonize
them.
Two-thirds of the voters of the Republican
party are as advanced in heart and idea as the
more serious and substantial men of the Pro-
gressiye. party. These men, officially in diff
ferent parties see things in the same way.
Forming decided ajority, as they do, of each
party, they should, in the interest of efficient
legislation for the common good, get together
under one banner. Divided, as they are, into
two organizations, they have no political
power.
"The Liberal party" would be very COM
prehensive and appropriate name for the new
holding party. 1t would be quite in harmony
with the spirit of the day. 1t is well-known
name for political party. 1t signifies an att-
tude that is popular, purpose to treat people
and policies with liberal consideration.
States should send an equal number of
Republicans and of Progressives as delegates
to the national conference. This does not mean
that all States should send the same number,
but that of the total number sent from any
State there should be like representation from
each party.
The fact that the Progressives cast a larger
vote in November should not justify them in
expecting a larger number of delegates than
their opponents. While the Republicans are
numerically weaker, they are at the same time
stronger in their established organization, and
in their avenues of publicity, through an excess
of newspapers favorable to them. On the other
hand, the Progressives are stronger in that they
are essentially unit, whereas the Republicans
are divided into conservatives, reactonarieS,
and practical Progressives.
Moreover, the Progressive party is espe-
cially strong in its youth, its ZEAL and its spirit
which is the spirit of duty and of triumph
These qualities in themselves are tremendous
power in political organization.
But beyond the question of which party is
the stronger is the vital fact that no satisfac-
tory results could be worked out in the ma
tional conference if one party could outvote
the other. With equal representation from
each, neither would have any advantage over
the other.
The number of delegates from each State
should be in proportion to the combined Roose-

Wv lect is wholly as suggestion, moth
ing more. ! am throwing out the
thought for what it is worth, throwing it out
for consideration by those of the Republican
and Progressive parties to whom an efficient
and powerful amalgamated organization would
mean more than party prejudice, or prejudice
in favor of an empty party name.
Wilson was elected President in November
by total vote of 6,3o3,o63. The combined
vote of Roosevelt and Taft was zoos, S,oo6, or
plurality over Wilson of i,3o5,o33. A COM
bination of the Republican and Progressive
parties if it could be brought about, would
make the amalgamated organization the domi-
nant political force in the country.
As independent parties, each is in hope
less minority as compared with the Democratic
party. To continue as distinct entities means
to continue for an indefinite time in the minor
ity trenches, perhaps for very long time. !
say perhaps" because in politics nothing is
certain The drift of individuals from one to
the other of the minority parties, or from the
majority party to one or to both of the minor
ity parties may before the expiration of the
incoming Administration change the relative
position of all. 1t is not probable, however,
that the enormous lead of the Democratic
party over either the Republican or the Pro-
gressive party will disappear. The margin of
nearly two to one is far too great.
A quick, sure way of overcoming the DEM
ocratic supremacy would be through an alli-
ance of the Republican and the Progressive
parties Indeed, this is the only apparent way
it is likely to happen in the immediate or near
future But is it possible to bring about such
a union?
don't believe it is, if it is a question of
either party going over to the other. 1t is
practical certainty that the ProgreSsiVes with
their numerical strength as shown in the re-
cent election by popular majority over the
Republicans of Si9,81S, will not 60 over to
the Republican party. 1t looks to be about
equally probable that the Republican party will
not as body come over to the Progressives.
Neither party has any love for the other. In
deed, the Republicans are bitter against the
Progressives for splitting the party and rele-
eating it to third place in the popular vote of
the country. The Progressives are equally bit
ter against the Republicans.
They claim, and with every evidence to
sustain the claim, that if Mr.. Roosevelt had
been placed in nomination at Chicago, he
would now be PreSident-elect of the United
States instead of Mr. Wilson. With this con-
viction deep in their hearts, it is not unnatural
that they should feel as they do toward the
party that defrauded them of this victory.
But all this is history, it is water over the
dam. 1t cannot turn wheel today. We must
face what is, and not square ourselves to what
might have been or should have been. AS re-
suit of the political unwisdom of the Republi-
can leaders, the Democratic party has swept
into power with plurality bigger than that
ever received by any party in the history of the
country

since the war, is good neither for the section
nor for the party itself. 1t is menace to the
rest of the country. Any solid section, be it
North, South, East or West, is menace to the
other sections Of the country. Political senti-
ment should not be divided upon geographical
| lines.
In view of the importance of party being
| nationwide, it is clear that if the Republican
party, as at present dominated, could swing
loose from clogging and archaic conventions,
and could regenerate and vitalize itself with
modern ideas and modern ideals, it would still
fail short of meeting the requirements of the
day. 1t would fall short by reason of the fact
that it cannot be, within the vision of this gene
ration, party of any consequence and stand
ing in the South.
What am saying is said wholly on my own
initiative and absolutely Independent of any
man or men in either the Republican or the
Progressive party. have purposely avoided
discussing the subject with Mr.. Roosevelt or
with any one else. wanted to be able to state
as fact that neither the Progressive nor the
Republican party, nor any leader of either, is
putting forth this idea under cover No such
intimation or purpose has ever reached me
from any source, nor have anywhere heard
the idea broached.
In this discussion am not considering Mr..
Roosevelts interests, or the interests of any
other man in either party | am considering
now, as did in the campaign, the interests of
the hundred millions.
In general way, know that Mr.. Roose-
welt has taken very firm stand against the
Progressives entering into any fusion with the
Republicans. His stand in this respect has not
been more pronounced or positive than my
own, both as an individual and through my
publications. Direct amalgamation with the
Republicans would be practical elimination.
The Progressive party, with its wonderful start,
its high purposes, and its splendid ideals, has
far too important work to do, as an independ-
ent party or in combination with men of its
own kind now enlisted under different banners,
to consider any step that might result in self
effacement, except upon some such plan as
have herein suggested,
With unyielding opposition to direct
amalgamation with the Republicans, would,
however, both urge and indorse move that
would bring the two parties together on neu-
trail ground, bring them together with dignity
and mutual good feeling, taking over and weld
ing into a single instrument the best policies
and purposes of the two organizations. 1t
would be common-senSe, business-like, two
and-two-make-four scheme of meeting the
situation.
One word more. This suggestion for bring
ing the two parties together does not mean,
and must not be twisted to mean, that my re-
latons to or interest in the Progressive party
are in any way changed. Emphatcally they
are not. But clearly the same methods should
prevail with regard to politics that prevail in
the wisest and most intelligent realms of busi-
The Washington times., 1913-01-08

Gibraltar, the diSlodgement OF the Democratic
party looks to be long way off, except
through union of the Republican and the
Progressive forces There is one way that this
union might be effected. Here it is:
Form new party, holding party, to take
over the Republican and the Progressive par
ties as holding company in the business
world takes over and amalgamates competing
concerns. The Republican and the Progressive
parties, politically speaking, are emphatically
competing concerns, and in competition with
the big Democratic party they are powerless
The scheme of holding party>as means
of getting the two parties together makes an
easy way of approach, and one from which the
sting of prejudice on either side is removed.
Neither party would 60 over to the other. Both
would meet on neutral ground.
Of course this does not presuppose that
the holding party would continue merely as
holding party, with the Republican and Pro-
greSsive parties still maintained as constituent
organizations With the merging of the latter
into the holding party, it would become con-
crete, closely amalgamated political organiza-
ton, quite as much so as either party is today.
As independent entities, the Republican and
Progressive parties would disappear.
The scheme of the holding party could be
worked out in some such way as this:
Let the voters of each party in the several
States call conference, Statewide confer
ence, to discuss the plan and to appoint
delegates to a national conference. These
State gatherings would not be joint con-
ferenceS. Each party would hold its own
conference made up of its own men. The
national conference, on the other hand, would
consist of an equal number of delegates from
the two parties.
The work of the national conference would
be to get together on principles and policies,
and to select name for the new holding party.
Such conference would have very important
and very far-reaching piece of work on its
hands. 1t should have sufficient time for such
an undertaking-weeks,o or months, if need be.
1t would not only embrace the, problem of har-
monizing, but would have to work out policies
and principles that would be representative of
the best thought of the day.
This conference might we'll take on the
scope of a constitutional convention, such, for
example, as the recent constitutional conven-
ton of the State of Ohio. A thorough study by
the conference of the problems of government,
both State and national, would be business
like way of arriving at sound basis for ANAL
gamation and for fixing upon the policies and
principles of the new party.
The old way of writing political platform
amid the stress and storm of a national con-
vention, when all is excitement, and interest
is almost wholly centered on the nominations,
is ridiculous. There isn't serious note in it;
there isn't bit of common sense in it.
Too much time cannot be given to piece
of work that means so much to hundred mil
lions of people, and that means so much to
party. Three months should be given to the

that S-he season has been divided
whether the locals hang on at the bo.-

that the local pitching staff has been
