stance the Progressive party shows
practical anhihilation. But is only
another evidence of the practical
transition that IS going on all over
the country. In the presidential
election OF two years ago the vote Of
Minnesota was 1856 for Iloosc-
welt; 1Os,42G for Wilson, and Ca.
324 for Taft.
In thctpresent state wide primary
more than 100000 votes were cast,
which is q remarkably large poll for
an election held only to nominate
state candidates; but 1t was most
impressive in its results. The Re-
publican vote on this occasion
mounted from G4,324, cast ut the
regular election Of 1921 to 1906, 600.
While the Democrats made hot
race. their total vote amounted to
only $4,000. The Progressive can
didates in the entire state only mus.
tered strength of 1854. This
goes to show what has always been
maintained, that the large number
Of Republicans who voted for
Roosevelt two years ago had no in
tention Of leaving the party. 1t
shows that the present buster OF
the Progressiyes is built entirely on
the supposed cohcsiveness Of the
vote of 1912. Really there is moth
ing left them but the leaders.
There is an object lesson of. the,
same character in this state, In
Lewis county, to which the: Weston
Independent calls attention and
which has been referred to in its
special correspondence few weeks
ago. In speaking OF the Progress
siyes of'tlat county the independent
says: j
e Recall tho humiliating small
vote OF 2S4 for Mr.. Laughlin last
year. Recall, too, that unpreced-
Ientcd campaign of publicity which
lie madc. Recall furthermore, the,
Iclaims which were Sindustriously
made by the local Progressive lead
ers. Recall that they insisted, cith-
or ignorantly or deceptively, that
they could mil . larger vote thnn
would the Republicans. The results
told a very different story:N Mr.
Hearne had four times as many
votes in this county as had Mr..
Laughlin. So much for the inac-
curacy and unreliabiiity Of predic-
tions made last year. And they are
