HARMONY ASSURED.

Kansas City JOURNAL. ""'~
Bull Moosers, led by George W.. FER
kins, we're giving out from New 1o'"
last Saturday that their reports from
every part Of the country show con-
clusiyely there lis no sentiment
amoug progressives for any k'nd OF
marty amalgamatiOn," the executive
committee OF the republican national
committee was in session In Washihe'
ton considering the proposal for re-
uniting the party submitted by such
progressive leaders as Senator Cuhi-
minis, chairman OF the concillatlon
committee: Senator Jones, Senator
Crawford and Representatives Grams
ton and Rogers, and joined in by Sen
ator La Toilette, Senator Borah ana
former Governor Hadley. In Kansas
and half a dozen other states the pro-
Gressive masses are electlng dele-
gates to state harmony conferences
and in every quarter regular ana
progressive republicans are co-operat'
ing together to put the party into ef'
fective condition to s the coun'
try from democratic rule.
In spite Of all this the Perkins
following in New York shuts its eyes
tightly and solemnly declares there
ia mo sentiment among p~rogresslVes
for any kind of party analgamauion."
The republican executive committee
acted so tremendously upon the varl'
GUS PROPOSALS submitted by the pro-
gressive conference that there can
be no longer any intelligent doubt
that the republican party nationally
and in the different states will get
togther successfully on a basis OF
mutual good faith and compromise
Calm reflection shows that there is
no real basis for serious differences
between thes republican elements.
The quarrel over Taft and Roosevelt,
the main cause of division, is now a
thing of the past. The basis OF rep
r%esentation from the southern states,
which was a source Of serious com
plant, will be changed, in accord
ance with the wishes OF both pro-
gressives and regulars.
The meeting Of the national re-
publican committee was wisely post.
poned until sixty days after the ad-
journment of congress. There Is no
need of hurry in the technical work
Of reorganization, and after the dem
ocratic tariff has been in effect for
sixty days the country in all prob
ability will have been brought to a
full realization of the need of republi.
can rule. After the meeting Of the
national committee. it is planned to
hold early next year an extraordinary
republican national convention, where
all differences within the party will

in working order for the next presi'
DENTAL campaign.
1t Is apparent from the vicious an
tagonis1n OF some of the radical Bull
Moose leaders that a strong effort will;
We made to put a national third party
ticket into the field in 1916, in an
effort to defeat the reunited republic
can party. Some of these Bull Moose
leaders declare frankly that this is
all they hope to accomplish. But it
is extremely doubtful if the embit-
tered Bull Moose bosses will be able
to master any appreciate following
among the rank and file of progress
sives after the work of reunion is
completed. The reorganized party will
belong quite as much to the progress
sives as to the regulars, and under
the inspiration of a common great
purpose all republicans will march
on to the big victory in 1916.
