WITH COLONEL GONE.
THEN WHAT'S TO DO?

not ask any Progressive you might
meet to-day, for he would not know.
He would be asking himself the same
question. He would probably tell you.
in the course of his conversation, that
before long the country would SEQ q
lineup between the Progressive ele-
ments in American life and the stand
pat or conservative section: that his
division would break down all party
lines as they now exist. and that there
are already II conspicuous number or
Democrats who are as standpat as
standpat can be. However, that bit of
political prophecy would not be an am
swer to the plain and practical politi-
cal question of what the Progressive
party would do with the Colonel in tho
Republican ranks again.
This seems to be the way the matter
sizes up: That Roosevelt is looked
upon by the ProErcssives as an avail
ablo candidate. His availability APP
pears to the party as a constant guam
tity, mistaken. unsullied and OF high
potentially. They can reach out. they
believe, and grab him at any time.
Yet at tho same time. perhaps. with
out drawing n second breath. they will
say that if the party puts up another
leader they will vote for him. and. per-
haps. elect him.
didate. fine bit of political property
with which they can stay together as
a homogeneous mass. They say they
can set him aside If they find another
leader.
But what on earth will they do if
the standpatters steal him back into

what some of the Coloners Progressive

Tho truth is the ProEressives have
some bigger things to rob them of their

You could find plenty of evidence in
