whom the latter walked out Of the
Chicago convention with Colonel
Roosevelt he did not throw away
his republication. but claimed he
was with the majority OF the repub-
lioan party. Notwithstanding the fact
that the standpat element had con
troll OF the national committee and
counted the progressive republicans
out OF the party. The fact that
many followed Colonel Roosevelt In

moan that they have forsaken or re-
pudlated the principles Of republi-

coin and the long line OF great
leaders who made the republican
party great and the nation great
and glorious. The Standard never
doubted but that the two branches
OF the republican party would again
get together before the next presi-
Dental election. Senator Bristow

ieaders OF the nation. said. whom he
went back 10 the republican party,
that the republicans OF Kansas
were progressives and he could not
see why he should forsake the re
