In LINE WITH PARTY
Proofs That "Progressives" Are
Listening to Reason.
Veto In Minnesota Shows Trend Of
Events-RevoIting Members Are
FIocking by Thousands Into
the Republican Ranks

The progressive state Of Minnesota
has furnished the most impressive
proof yet given of the virtual disap-
pearance of the Progressive party. 1t
Is perfectly clear that in state which
Roosevelt carried two years ago the
Progressive sentiment of the people
has ceased to manifest itself in a third
party movement. The Progressives of
1912 are Progressive Republicans in
1914
Two years ago the vote of Mime
sofa was 1856 for Roosevelt, 1867
426 for Wilson and 34.324 for Taft
The total vote for all parties, includ-
ing the Socialists and Prohibitionists.
was 334,219.
With one small county which did
not cast more than 400 votes missing
from the official returns, the total vote
of Minnesota il the primary election
held two weeks ago was more than
10000. 1t was remarkably large for
an election held only to nominate state
candidates.
The Republican vote was 1000
The Democratic candidates for gov
ernor made a very hot race, but their
total was little less than $4,000. The
Progressive candidates polled total
of 1854 votes. 1t will be seen that the
Republican vote was more than four
times as great as that of the Demo
Gratis and the Progressives combined
Comparing the primary election this
year with the presidential election OF
1912, the Republican vote is multiplied
by three and the Democratic vote d.
vided by two and a fraction. The Pro-
gressive vote is divided by fifty
In percentages. the Republican
strength is over 800 per cent of the
total for Taft The Democratic vote
is about 40 per cent of the vote for
Wilson The Progressive vote is a
little more than two per cent Of the
vote cast for Roosevelt IN 1912.
Such facts cannot mean anything
less than a complete political revolu-
ton. They show that in one of the
states carried by Theodore Roosevelt
in the presidential election two years
ago the whole Progressive party, ex-
cept a few struggling votes, here and
there. has gone into the Republican
camp.
But Minnesota is certainly as pro-
gressive as ever. The beliefs and SEN
timent of it's people have not changed.
What has happened is that the logic
of events has convinced the great body
of Progressive voters that they can
most surely accomplish the reforms
they seek by working in the Republi-
can party, as Republicans
1t is also plain that the people of
Minnesota have decided, by an over
whelming majority, to make an end
of the present Democratic administra-
stion at Washington, at the earliest
possible date. In that determination
they stand with the other states of the
North, from ocean to ocean.

The Hollow Of Her Hand.

When Booth called in the afternoon
ut Sara's apartment, he was met by
the news that she was quite Ill and
could see no one-not even him. Inc
doctor had been summoned during the
night and had returned in the morn
ing, to find that she had very high
temperature. The butler could not
enlighten Booth further than this,
except to add that a nurse was COM
ing in to take charge OF Mrs. Wran-
dali, more for the purpose Of watching
her symptoms than for anything else,
he believed. At least, so the doctor
had said.
Two days passed before the dis
tressed young man could get any defl-
mite news concerning her condition.
He unconsciously began to think OF 1t
as a malady. not a mere illness. due
of course to a remark Carroll had
dropped when Sara had told him the
whole truth of the tragedy and OF
her own vindictive plans. 1t was
Carroll himself who gave a definite re-
port of Sara. He met the lawyer COM
ing away from the apartment when he
called to inquire.
She isn't out of her head, or any
thing like that" said Carroll uneasily
but she's in a bad way, Booth. I'll
tell you what think is troubling her
more than anything else. Down In heI
heart she realizes that Hetty Castle
