EDITORIAL OPINION

pendent public is coming to have less
and less respect for the little political
lheelers and it is coming to more and
more decline to be led by their little
political "frame-ups." That public is
not going to respect or tolerate the
man or set of men who show them
selves actuated only by the smallest

who are likewise Indifferent to the

OLD PARTY is HIT
BY PROCRESSIvES

Springfield, H., April 30.-Ad-
dresses delivered last night at the
state arsenal by former United States
Senator Albert J. Beveridge of In
diana and former Governor Stubs of
Kansas brought to a close the state
wide conference of the progressive
party, which opened Monday in this
city.
Different speakers during the day
denounced any harmony plan which
would have the effect of uniting the
progressive and republican parties
and in resolutions adopted at the
morning session, the conference as
whole goes on record as unalterably
opposed to any such amalgamatiOn.
In this connection the resolutions de-
clare: We oppose unequivocally and
unreservedly any amalgamation with
the discredited republican party which,
under recent dishonest leadership has
failed to carry out the precepts of
Abraham Lincoln and the other hon
orable founders of that once re-
nowned party"
Wall street interests and politi-
clans representing them are prOmot-
ing the harmony plan" declared for
mer Governor Stubbs. Continuing,
Mr. Stubs said:
The character OF the politicians
now in control of the republican party
and their relation to the corporate
wealth OF the nation is an important
consideration in the harmony pro-
gram being promoted by standpat re-
publiCans. II the progressiVes should
90 back TO the republican party the
very same national committee who
robbed them of an Overwhelming vic
tory at the national convention last
year would have exactly the same
power to control the convention in
1916 and the standpat republicans
who waged bushwhacking campaign
against all progressive candidates on

cratic ticket where progressive repub.
icdns have been nominated"
