SAYS OLD PARTIES
ARE NOW RADICAL
Osborne Declares c. o. P. aad
Democracy Have Caught Up
With Progressives.

BRIDGETON, N. j., March H.
Speaking at the first annual dollar
dinner given by the Progressives of
Cumberland County, Saturday night
Edmund &. Osborne said in part:
The Progressive platform doesn't seem
nearly so radical as II did six months ago
We thought we were long way ahead
then, but the country has almost caught
up with us-we can't expect to lead II
Ne merely keep abreast with the senfi-
ment of the country.
The old parties are agreeing to so much
Of that platform that we are not going
to have enough left to make another big
fight over.
Neither the Democrats nor the Republi-
cans will dare risk another campaign
against the minimum wage Or shorter
hours for women, or conservation, or di-
rect primaries, and hateful as 1t is to The
feaetionnries, they will not, In my judg-
nienf. dare to fight openly against the in
tative and referendum-they know it's
coming.
The fight for popular government Is
practically won in New Jersey. Expert
enee has already showed us a good many
necessary improvements, but we can
make paramount campaign issue of the
improvements and rehnements we pro
pose..
We understand poverty now better than
ever before. We used to think about the
soVefty of the worthy poor as a part OF
The scheme of things, 'rhe will of God.
We have improved our theology aud We
know now that the undeserved poverty
Of The world is not In conformity with the
y Ill of God, but is the result OF viola
oiiS Of the will of God.
The great underlying cause of poverty
among the honest workers who are not
cNtravagant is special privilege which
leNies tolls upon the producers of wealth.
and, through extortlonate prices Oh the
necessities of life, takes away from them
all the fruits of their labor except bare
subsistence. All the great fortunes that
have not been earned by service TO so
c.ety have been taken away from the real
producers Of wealth through the exer-
else of legalized special privilege
We have no quarrel with the Size of
fortunes that are earned by service to so
ciety-the bigger they are the better II
5hey are earned by service. The welfare
of our country demands that the facil-
tiles for getting wealth without earning
1t Should be reduced to the very minimum
and that the facilities for getting wealth
My really serving society shall be in
creased In every possible way. The in
variable source of the unenrned fortunes
Is privilege. We propose that the Pro-
sressye party shall ''set SAIL for priv
ilege III New Jersey to overthrow and
completely destroy II.
