PARTY WITHOUT LIFE
Progressives Already Facing Ger
tain Disintegratioh.
Have Fallen 20 Third or Fourth Place
In Almost Every Election Recent
Iy Held-ls a one-Man Party,
With No Issue.

The Progressives today find them
selves a party without an issue. That
condition is the more precarious with
the opening OF a congressional cam.
paign only a few months away and
governors to be elected In Massachu-
sets. New York and other states. In
New York the leaders of the party are
endeavoring to make a personality
supply the lack of an issue. They
will ask Mr.. Roosevelt to accept the
Progressive nomination for governor.
They declare: Roosevelt will be our
issue" Apparently the Progressives
have forgotten that one reason Colo
mel Roosevelt left the country last
autumn was to give his party an op-
portunity to demonstrate that 1t was
not, as so many have charged. one
man party" Instead OF making any
headway, however. the Progressives
have fallen to the third or fourth place
In almost every election held save
that In Massachusetts,. Even there the
party is today utterly bereft of an
issue. There, as In New York, they
are endeavoring to make personality
take Its place. Again they will appeal
to Charles Sumner Bird to lead their
forlorn hope, in spite OF his sacrifice
in two unsuccessful campaigns.
Doubtless Mr.. Bird hesitates to refuse
a third nomination lest he be charged
with deserving the party In its hour
of direst need. Certainly there could
be no justification for such a charge,
but that fact is no assurance that 1t
would not be brought. In their plat
forms the Democrats and Progressives
in Massachusetts differ but little.
Both are against representative gov
eminent, both favor direct legislation
by means of the initiative and refer
endum. Governor Walsh has declared
FOR the recall and that pledge is en-
bodied in the Progressive platform, al
though it was not emphasized by Pro
gressive candidates in the last cam
paign. The gradual dissolution of the
third party is clearly shown today
by this falling back upon a personal

issue. Its life may be prolonged by
artificial methods until after the next
congressional election. Before 1916.
however. its members will have been
absorbed by the two old parties.
All Point to Republican Success.
This disintegration of the Progress
sive party will have an important eff
feet upon the political complexion Of
the next house. and, coupled with some
dissatisfaction with the Democratic
administration. gives the Republicans
good grounds for hope. There are "a
districts now represented in the house
by Democrats where a change of from
two hundred and fifty to one thousand
votes will return a Republican. There
is not a district in Iowa which would
not be represented by a Republican
if the entire Republican and Progress
sive strength should be concentrated
upon q single candidate. A similar
condition prevails throughout large
number of districts in the North and
middle West.
