of Human Freedom.

Los ANGELES. February 13-Exaltins
Abraham Lincoln as a progressive and
declaring that as he prophesied. a new
party has been formed from the princi-

Lauding Lincoln for his speech at
Bloomington in 1855. Gov. Johnson said
the principles on which the republican
party was founded still shine as brightly
as at that tine. but that they have been
abandoned by its leaders. He scored men
prominent in republican party councils
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts.
The common right of humanity, the
doctrine enunciated by Lincoln. is the
fundamental principle of the progressive
party" he said. ITO say that Mr.. Barnes
of New York, Mr.. Penrose of Pennsyi-

did not move the Secretary to any eX-
planation of the action in regard to Peru,
nor would he indicate the possibility of
any change in the attitude of the ad-
miniStration toward the Huerta regime in
Mexico and that of Zamor in Haiti.
For some time past it has been rumored
that the State Department has had under

Voters Too Independent.

There is no mistaking what all this
means. 1t means that the voters of the
party are too Independent TO eondone
what they conceive to- be a mistake or
wrong, and too wise TO abandon perma-
nentiy the name. the traditions, the pres
tige and honor that they and their fore
bears have established and built up
through fifty years OF relentless political
warfare.
1t means that no man or class of men
can turn the republican party from its
true course and drag 1t down from its ex-
alted station among the great political
factors of modern times. and ii means,
moreover. that no man or class of men
can wreck or destroy it. If every as
sumed leader and every committeeman
of the party from ocean shore to ocean
shore should resign tonight and announce
that the hour of dissolution was at hand,
