es and messages, the policies of his
administration. and the application
of those policies in the various acts
of the democratic congress.
Thus the democracy derives
strength, not only from its harmony
it's inherent solidarity. that its adver-
saries are divided and have no pros
pect other than that of continuing
divided, while at the same time the
democracy fulfills all the functions
and meets all the needs of progress
siveness. The old line republican
party represents reaction, and the
field which the progressive party pro-
fesses to occupy, is occupied in every
essential of genuine progressiveness,
by the democracy.
On the face of the facts, this creates
an impregnable democratic position
for the congressional campaign of
1914, and the presidential campaign of
1916. But though the democracy is in
trenched in a political Gibraltar, the
solidity of the democratic fortress in
no way diminishes the duty of vigil
ance in guarding the fort, and energy
in charging its boundaries. Just as
the far-sighted economist says, al
ways retrench in a time of prosperity"
so the discerning party man says, "Be
on guard in the hour of success"
We must not lose sight for an in
slant of the axiom, that the great re-
lance Of the democratic party has al
ways been itself. 1t is the democracy
which wins democratic victories, and
the only peril the party has to look

Nearly everyone knows something
about babies. What funny predica-
ments they can get people into is de-
lightfulIy shown in "Jerry's Uncle's
Namesake." vitagraph feature photo
drama in two parts shown by the
Colonial theatre today. Jerry gets
.-any checks from his tpcle when no
deceives that gentleman by borrowing
a baby and pretending that 1t is his
own. His falseness Is discovered when
occasion necessitates the borrowing
OF more babies. four babies, and uncle
demands to know IL Jerry is the father
of all. That he is revealed when
clamoring mothers storm the Jerry
home demanding their infants. Jerry
loses the checks and is scorned by
HIS relative.

THE PARTY LINEUP IN 1914

Norman E. Mack in National Monthly
for March.)
Early as it is in the year, the for
ward look to the congressional cleo
tions of 1914, has already had the eff
feet of causing a general survey or
the political situation, with reference
to the events of next fall. The signs
of the times typify the spirit of vigor
and cohesion which animates the DEM
ocratic party. and emphasize the duty
of watchfulness and preparation no
less necessary in epochs of democratic
success as now, than in the long
struggle which led up to the triumphs
of the past three years, and the era
of achievements of the Wilson al
ministration today.
The prevalent study of political con-
ditions has brought about renewed ex-
animation of the chasm in the repub-
lican party, a severance which had its
beginning in the revolt of the more
progressive republican elements, rep
resented by men like Beverage and
L.aFollette-a revolt which found ex-
pressicn in the period of insurgency,
and reached a elimination in the open
break at Chicago, and the formation
of the progressives as a separate party
under the leadership of Roosevelt
Since the presidential campaign of
1912. a vast amount of discussion has
been devoted to the question whether
the abyss between the progressives
and the old-line republicans could ever
be bridged. Many months have gone
by since Frank a. Munsey made his
suggestions for a plan of progressive
and republican amalgamation-prop
ais to which Colonel Roosevelt made
known his opposition at the time, and
which. while they attracted much at
tention, did not bear fruit in definite
results.
To all appearance the time has now
come when an answer as positive as
any assertion relating to the future
can be. may be given to the oft
reiterated query whether, in the con-
gressionI campaign of the present
year, and the still greater campaign
which looms in the distance in 1916,
the democracy must face united or
divided foe. And it may be declared
with confidence that the vista con-
tains no prospect of union of the sep
arated wings, OF what was formerly
the republican party. Sweep the hor-
izon broadly as one will, where does
any such prospect exist?
Recently, committee meetings and
conferences OF the progressives have
been held in large number OF states
In New York, the state committee OF
the progressives decided to put a full
ticket OF their party in the field next
fall Only a few days before, the
Maine progressives came TO similar
conclusion, accentuating their determ-
inatIon by refusing TO confer with the
republicans for fusion purposes
Analogous action has been taken In
Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa,

not the disruption of our antagon.
lists, but the harmony, vigor and az
gressiveness of ourselves. Demo-
cratic militancy is the watchword OF.

just as democratic militancy was the
key which unlocked the gates of VIC,
tory for us in 1910 and 1912. The

Louisiana and other states. Coming
from parties to individuals, and citing
former Senator Beveridge as typi-
cal example, it is well known that
Beyeridge has from the start proclaim
ed his unalterable antagonism to any
union with the republicans. Only
lately, anticipating the return of
Colonel Roosevelt to this country it
has been stated that Roosevelt will not
speak in behalf of any congressional
candidates who are jointly nominated
on republican and progressive tickets
in Pennsylvania, but will confine his
support to those who have progress
sive nominations, exclusively.
This being the attitude of the pro-
gressives, what of the republicans?
The highest authority possible to cite
on that point is former President Taft.
In the Saturday Evening Post of Feb.
II, Mr.. Taft devotes an article en-
titled "The Future of the Republican
Party" to a carefully-written and
analytic study of the political situa-
ton, from the republican standpoint
This very interesting exposition of
Mr.. Taft's views regarding the party
whose highest honors he received, and
whose national standard bearer he was
in two memorable campaigns, makes
known the remarkable fact, that how
ever much William Howard Taft and
Theodore Roosevelt have differed in
the past, and however widely diverg-
ent their opinions now, they are of one
mind in holding that amalgamation of
the republican and the progressive
parties is a thing that cannot be &C
complished. Mr.. Taft's words are,
For these reasons l concur in the
views of Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Bev-
eridge, that a union of the republican
and progressive parties is not feas-
ible" 1t is true Mr.. Taft accom-
panies this statement with a holding
out of the olive-branch to individual
progressives who he conceives might
enclosure. This is conciliatory
overture which might be expected
from Mr.. Taft's urbanity. But it does
not lessen the effect of his pronounce
ment that between progressives as a
party, and republicans as party,
there is no general basis of unison, no
common ground which could make
such union practicable.
The drift of those elements of the
progressive party. who in the muta-
tions consequent upon every large po-
litical realignment, sever their rela-
lions with that party, is naturally far
more toward extensive affiliation or
progressive voters with the demo-
Gratis, than toward reaffiliation with
the republicans. This is a tendency
which will be further increased by the
fact that the democratic party is to-
day the representative embodiment OF
progressive principles, a truth demon
strated by the declarations of the Bal
timore platform. the acceptance speech
of Woodrow Wilson and all his speech
