Senator Berah's Position.


{ Much is to be learned from an analy-
sis of Senator Borah's speech before
the New York Republican Club.
Senator Borah is genuinely and sin
ccrely progressive in his ideas. More
than this, he is man of Admitted abil-
ity and force and he Is possible Pres
idential nominee. handicapped solely by
the fact that he comes from State
with only four electoral votes. Al
though by nature progressive. he pre-
fers to remain with the Republican
party. His speech explains his position.
He holds that the Progressive move
ment is disintegrating, citing conditions
in Michigan, Maine, New Jersey, and
Maryland. He might have referred to
the recent Iowa election, where the
Progressive vote dwindled from 1900
in 1917 10 3,672 in 1914, and where the
Republican vote increased from S,3o3
to Io,435. Incidentally, the Democratic
vote decreased from a majority OF asa
in 1910 to a plurality of 1880 in 1914.
The lesson of the Progressive loss,
Senator Borah believes, is that those
who dared to tear down dared to re-
build" In other words, he looks for
a complete revival of the Republican
party spirit, with construction along
bread lines and in harmony. TO Use his
own words, with the true historic bent
OF the organization.
Senator Borah asserts that the great
mass of the Republican voters will not
abandon the name, traditions, honor.
and prestige of the Republican party.
Out of this great body of voters is to
come, in his opinion, the militant and
progressive and aggressive Republican
party of the future. If this should not
be the case-''if the Republican voters"
to quote his language, ARE not pro-
gressive in the true, sound sense of
the term, then the way for some of
US is clear" He does not believe, how
ever, that he will be compelled to leave
his party, and, like Mr. Taft, he thinks
it is better to endure defeat for a sea-
son rather than abandon the sound
principles of government which has
made the United States one of the
greatest nations of the world.
There is no. doub: that Senator
Borah's opinions reflect the sentiments
of an immense number of the Repub-
lican voters. They gave their party
credit for its many great achievements,
but they do not want it to place the
dollar above the man nor ignore the ne
cessity for humanitarian legislation. II
they can be convinced that tie dcstinics
of the organization will be controlled
by men of the Borah type they will
come back TO the party, especially il
the Roosevelt following becomes more
and more socialistic in its tendencies,
as is apt to be the case Summing up
this phase of the situation into a sin
gle sentence, it may be said that Sem
ator Borah's outspokcn declaration of
loyalty to the Republican party and
his effort to inspire it with high ideals,
is the most vital effort yet made to-
ward restoring that party 20 its old
time eminence.

Mr.. Taffs declaration TIA, unless a

merely repetition of a fact repeated
ly stated in this discussion Of the po-
litieal situation. The Republican party,
while it has not staked everything upon
the tariff. has relied largely upon the
protection issue as its stock in trade.
If it shall happen that the distress pre-
dicted TO occur under Democratic
tariff law does not materialize the Re-
publican position will be hard to main
tain.
It is. of course. too early to predict
what the commercial and financial con-
dition of the country will be next No
venber Ii it is not any worse than il
is at present. and the division in the
Republican party continues, the Repub-
licans cannot hope to completely over
turn the tremendous majority by which
the Democrats now mold the House of
Representatives. They will make some
gains, of course, but this will not be
sufficient il they expect to win in the
Presidential election OF 1916 The ex-
perience of history is that if an admin
istration carries the House in the mid
way fight it is almost certain to be
successful in the succeeding Presiden-
tial contest. Both ex-Pres;dent Taft
and Senator Borah are looking the
facts squarely in the face when they
