Mr.. Colby attacked Mr.. Barnes saying
that he had experienced change OF
heart as we'll as the Republican party
itself toward the Progressives since Tue
last national convention. The thing Inc
neople wanted he said. was that Nilliain
Barnes should be removed as state chaI-
man and party leader
Mr.. Calder discussed the troubles OF i'l-
and the Republican convention OF that
year held i'm Chicago. lie said:
Let us. however compare the oreanl-
zation Of the Progressive party IN l9I-
with the period that produced the bl'th
of the Republican party. The Repu 'l-
can party was founded on the demand
for the abolition Of human slavery. II
did not come into life simply as result
of a difference OF opinion between a few
men on questions that were not really
fundamental
The Republican party is the conserya-
tive party. Some Of the Progressive lead
ers seek to out-radical the Democrats.

the conservative party. moved from tine
TO time by the necessities Of changed
conditions 10 advocate and put into e.
feet such progressive legislation 10 meet
the changed needs OF the country. Al
the most important legislation enacted
since the Civil War was put through IS
result OF its advocacy OF it.
Upon what is the Progressive party
actually founded? The chagrin OF many
people i'm this country over the failure to
nominate Theodore Roosevelt"
win the leaders in that party throw
their influence in favor of the nomins ton
Of A third candidate this fall and the con-
tinuance OF Democratic dominance here?
Just as sure as they attempt TO bring
about a condition of affairs that will en-
courage the Democratic party in this
election, just so sure will the people Of
the state repudiate them. There is no
doubt, In my judgment. Of the success Of
the Republican party in New York State
this fall, but We want the ProgressiVes
back TO share in the success"
