There is a good deal of gossip rega rd-

state and city chairmen of the republic
ans. 1t is said that a compromise will be
effected whereby the republicans will re-
tain the state Craftsmanship while the
progressives will be allowed to name the

| 1t is very evident that both the re-
publicans and the progressives realize
| that nothing is to be gained by keeping
apart. and that the salvation of both de-
ponds solely upon amalgamation. 1t is
evident. too that the old leaders of the
republican organization in city and state

republican party that took part in the

that kind of a party. In the future the

but one thing for the progre ssives to do,

a bitter feeling toward the old-line re-
publican party, ! believe that a careful
survey of the situation will convince them
that the q. o. p. of today is different

Tho melting pot is WORKING in he ranks
of the republicans and the bull moosers
and it's more than an even money bet
that the two warning factions OF the c.
o. =. will get together in good shape for
the fall campaign One by one The big
wigs of the progressive element are eX-
pressing Willingness to get back into
the fold, and the leaders of the regular
wing are ready to receive them and let
bygones be bygones. 1t is generally con-
coded that the amaleamation of the
forces will come before the June roses
bloom. and that there will be new deal
all around by which all will make sacri-
fees for the common cause
The most important development; Of the
week was the announcement on the part
of David NJ. NeNbold, ir.. chief of the
bull moose legal forces, that the progress
stVeS must support the republican party
to head off democratic dominat ton in
Maryland. In discussing the situation to-
day with The Star correspondent. Mr..
NewboId said:
When the Sugges. ion that the pro-
sressives and the republicans should
amalgamate was first made, l was
against it. because I did not think the
progresSives could be gotten back into
the ranks. and because I did not think it
was desirable. | have. however. changed
my mind OH the subject and am heartily
i'll favor of getting together. l have be-
come convinced that if we want to save
this state from democratic domination
next year. then the progressives must
return to the republican fold. No success
can crown any movement against the
democratic party so long as the progress
sives and the republicans are divided. As
far as the progressive party is concerned,
am convinced that it is Roosevelt
party. If Roosevelt We're a. candidate.
the party locally would poll heavy vote.
He is not candidate however. or even
an issue. and. therefore, the progressive
party would poll only a vote sufficient
to make democratic success certain.
