ANOTHER SUCH VICTORY AND
WE ARE LOST

Another such victory and we are
lost" was probably quoted by thou
sands Of Progressives throughout the
country when they read the returns
from the Second Iowa congressional
district. In this district the Demo
cratic nominee received 1925 votes;
the Republican nominee, 10,435 votes
and the Progressive nominee, 1872
votes. In 1912 the Progressive cam
didate for governor received 7,343
votes in this district. The returns
from Iowa are in about the same
ratio as those from Maine and New
Jersey as they show Progressive loss
es. The registration for the primary
election in California which Roose-
Welt carried in 1912 shows relatively
a greater loss to the Progressive par
ty.
The third party which started with
such gusto and promise is destined
to be shorter lived and accomplish
less than did the Populist party, but
then the Populists really had some
cause for existence. 1t did not
spring full grown from the brow of
man as did the latest third party.
1t had a natural birth, grew and
died.
1t is not expected that Idaho Pro-
gressive leaders will admit that their
party is on its last legs, although
they may know It. We imagine that
before long proposals of fusion Or
compromise will be offered. The Of
fer may be made TO the Republicans
