especially visiting the districts formerly
represented by Representatives Cannon,
Mckinley, and Rodcz,berg. There are
other Congressmen on his list whom he
wants to defeat because they cast their
lot with the Republican party instead
of following him, while other members
who were elected by the aid of Pro-
grcssive votes, but who did not enter
the open caucus of the Progressive
party in the House. are also doomed
to- encounter his antagonism- This
means that there are to be some lively
contests nexf fall.
In doing all this Roosevelt has
burned his bridges behind him. He
could not, even with his well-known ia
cility for somersaulting, expect thus to
work industriously to bring about Re
publican defeat and then be offered the
Republican Presidential nomination.
Such an outcome is beyond the limits
of the liveliest imagination. The Pro-
grcssive leaders scout the idea of his
Republican candidacy. They say that
the suggestion comes from two sources
first, the Republicans who, holding
patronage above principle, would like
to win with anybody, and second, the
weakened Progressives who doubt
the ability of Roosevelt to win with
only the Progressive party behind
him. They claim that neither of these
advocates of the candidacy idea are
worthy of consideration. 1t is evident,
therefore, that MIR. Roosevelt will pro-
coed along independent lines and leave
the Republican party to struggle along
as best it may.

MIR. Roosevelfs Position.

II is difficult TO reconcile this activity
which means, of course, more Demo
cratic victories, with the suggestion
that was made last week by the chair
man of the Republican State commit
tee of West Virginia that Mr.. Roose-
welt will be the Republican nominee for
President i'll 1910. There are many
who believe that this prediction will
come true, but how If is to be realized
is difficult to understand
Progressive leaders in Washington
laugh at the idea that Roosevelt will
ever return to. the Republican party.
More than this, they assert that if all
of the men at the head of the Pro-
gressive movement should hold a
solemn conclave and resolve to once
again enter the Republican fold they
could not take back with them more
than IS per cent of the voters who
have espoused the Progressive cause.
Their hope and belief is that by 1910
there will be no Republican party and
that Roosevelt will stand as the Pro-
gressiYe nominee, attracting to himself
all those who are not of Democratic
affiliation. They expect that the show
ing made next fall, when the continued
division in the Republican ranks will
result in the slaughter of Republican
candidates for the Senate-when men
like Cummins, in Iowa, and Bristow,
in Kansas, will go down TO defeat
will thoroughly dishearten the Repub-
licans and lead them to accept the inc

The Socialistic Side Of Progressivisn.

The talk about the overthrow of the
aristocracy of wealth and the future
alignment of parties shove how closely
the Progressive party is associated with
the great socialistic movement in this
country.
Many of the Progressive leaders
openly assert that if Roosevelt had not
been Presidential candidate in 1912.
Debs, the Socialistic candidate, would
have received 100000 votes instead of
100000 They have no apologies to make
for this statement. Neither do they find
anything remarkable in the fact that
the social justice planks of the Pro-
gressive contract with the people" are
identical with the declarations in the
Socialistic platform. They expect a
tremendous growth, OF socialism in this
country, just is it has developed in
Germany, England. and France, and
they are not aversc TO using the So
cialistic sentiment to advance their own
political ends. As political maneuver
this is undoubtedly wise The great
mass of the people unquestionably
would vote for an equal distribution Of
wealth, for old age pensions. for short

Why the Progressives Are Hopeful.

The approaching Senatorial elections
are being welcomed by the Progressives
as affording an opportunity to prove
that their party must be reckoned with
as a political factor in the future.
In looking forward with hope that
is not to be quenched by the wet
blanket of ridicule or criticism, the
Progressives point to the history OF
the Republican party as a parallel which
they are themselves to experience. The
Republican party was split-off from
the Wings because the latter would not
go far enough in the direction of the
abolition of slavery. 1t met defeat in
the carly stages of its existence, but
was finally triumphant and the Wing
party disappeared. The Progressives
today claim that the battle of the fu-
ture is against the aristocracy of
wealth and the domination of special
privilege, and they now occupy the
advanced position comparable with the
Republicans before the civil war. The
parallel which they present is unques-
ltionably interesting They point. for
instance, to the case of William II.
Seward, a Senator from New York,
as identical with that of Albert J. Cum
minis. today a Senator from Iowa.
Seward was originally a radical of rad
ieals on the slavery question, just as
Cummins was the originator of the
Iowa progressive idea, but Seward de-
clined to leave the Wing party and join
the new organization. Cumm;ns is still
a Republican and only recently accept
ed the verdict of the Republican Ma
tional Committee against his PROPOSE
ton to hold a national convention 10
bring about reforms within the party.
Eventually Seward became a Republi-
can and the Progressives insist that Mr.
Cummins will finally ask to be taken
into the Progressive ranks.
The Republican parry superseded the
Wing party. Why should it not give
way, in turn, to the Progressive party
This is the question which the Pro-
gressive leaders are asking, and they
are answering themselves by saying
that such will be the result Some OF
them go so far as to say that by the
end of the next decade there will be
only two parties in this country-tht
Progressives and the Socialists. with
the former representing the conserva.
tive socialistic view. They predict the
absolute disappearance of both the Re,
publican and the Democratic partie:
because neither of them will realize
that the tendency of the times is to,
ward purely humanitarian Legislation
and an enlarged power for the masse.

The vessel, with capacity OF $500

belt.
Fire was discovered just aft OF the

engine-room the signal for full speed
ahead.
Captain Bjork directed the course OF
the burning ship from it's south-by-
west course to due south. This prompt
action doubtless averted one of the
greatest tragedies in the history OF
lake navigation. When the boat was
turned the wind was raking the YES
sci, tanning the flames. BY the quick
turn the boat was brought under the
edge Of the wind.
While passengers were dressing hur-
riedly and the crew assuaged their
fears the vessel began blowing
through the rushing waves at full
speed No attempt was made to man
the lifeboats. Life and death depend
ed upon covering the seven miles to
the government pier before the fire
enveloped the boat. Captain Garland

crew rescued all the passengers.
