publicans have elected a United States
Senator by 1000 majority.
Everywhere there has been an en-
rollment Of the voters the Progressive
party has exhibited Insignificant num-
bers In relation to the Republicans.
In the Pennsylvania primaries the
Progressives cast but 1925 votes.
The vote for Roosevelt In 1912 was
444.3Ss. The Democratic loss was
100000 and the Republican gain 55.-
900. In California. the home OF the
Vice Presidential candidate on the
Roosevelt ticket. the Republican en-
rollment exceeds that of either the
Democrats or Progressives by over
100000. In the Maryland Senatorial
election the Republican gain was 90
600 and the Progressive loss was So
900. In the Massachusetts, primary
election. held last week. an interesting
showing was made In the Sixth Con-
gressional district. where all parties
bad contests. The Democrats. Repub-
ltcans and Progressives each had two
candidates for the nomination. In that
district the vote for CONGRESSMAN two
years ago was 1913 Republican. s.7O4
Democratic. and 1926 Progressive. In
the primary election the vote stood
10000 Republican. 1.i75 Democratic.
and 5l2 Progressive. The primaries

Seattle is located, showed a Repuhli-

with Democratic loss of nearly 15.-
no. and a Progressive loss OF over
$4,000. King county comprises about
one-third OF the population OF WASH
ington.
This is not half the story OF the
rapid declination OF the Progressive
vogue in the country. but enough has
been told to show that II has lost any
viriiity II may have had two years ago.
The few citations also show the deca-
denoe OF the Democratic party. brought
ON. no doubt, by its obnoxious per-
formances since II came into power.
There are some spots where the Pro-
gressives have just enough strength to
aid the Democratic party in their MI
nority victories. In no State has the
organization enough votes to elect any
OF its own candidates or secure any
sort Of representation to enact any OF
its principles into legislative statutes.
II is. therefore. the party OF absolute
negation instead of progression.
