sRRYAN,s REASONS.

NJ. j. Bryan says in the Commoner
theseaare the three chief causes for
the "decadence" Of the Progressive
9arty:
First-The failure of Theodore
Roosevelt to win a following on his
personality alone.
Second-The failure Of the Progress

new and clean cut issue; and,
Third-Too much activity on the
part o SGeorge w. Perkins, whom the
people associate with trusts.

adds SScan be built up on any man.
Aman may make an effective protest
against something done by another
mati$or group of men, but mere per-
sonal influence Is necessarily tempo
rary.
The Progressive party did not pre-
sent any new or clear cut Issues. No
one could tell by reading tho platform
whatatariff reduction to expect, what
changes to look for in the currency,
or what antitrust remedies to pre-
pare for; and 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Roosevelt has failed to give
the Progressives in Congress any in
depreciation of that platform.
Nj. Perkins wa n liability Instead

party's campaign fund could not ov-
ercorne the odlIm which his intimacy
With MI. Roosevelt brought upon the

sThe Progressive leaned toward
reforms, and had they Joined the Dem
ocratic party they would have
strengthened the reform element IN
that party, but Nj: Roosevelt de.
nouncedgthe Democratic party as bit
teriyass did the Republican party"
while Mr. Bryan has given three
very good reasons he might have add

equally applicable. He might have
added thatth the best reason was the
desire OF an Outraged and enraged
people tosrebuke the PTogressives for

Mr.. Bryan might have also added
that the voters have taken q sane
look at conditions as they now pre-
van and have concluded that the only
way to check an incompetent and
nnbrfdied Democratic reign Of extrav-
agance and foolhardy legislation Is
10 return the Republican party to
power which can only be done by
uniting the factions Of that party upon
the sound principle of protection on
which they fully agree. While the

are sufficient reasons for its own dis
