turn to power Of the G. o. P. reunited
with the Progressives who left it in
1912. He said in part:
THE men who voted the third party
ticket can neither be questioned as to
their integrity of purpose nor their
patriotism. But that IL was a protest
and not a manifestation of purpose to
permanently leave the party Is now es-
tablished by facts and figures which
cannot be doubted
cit is our duty to make IT clear that
the Republican party is to be as II
was in its best days, a thoroughly
progressive party. We ought not TO
assume for a moment or concede for a
moment that, because the party bids
fair TO go back into power, there Is
going to be any compromise with the
forces which brought IL near its ruin.
There can be no compromise II we
are TO have a party which Is going to
meet and solve the great problems
which a new industrial life and a new
social condition have imposed upon US. -
