i'm Line WITH PARTY
Proofs That "Progressiyes" Are
Listening to Reason.
Vote In Minnesota Shows Trend Of
Events-Revoltlno Members Are
Fioo<Ina 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
10 perfectly clear that in state which
Roosevelt carried two years ago the
Progressive sentiment Of the people
has ceased to manifest itself in 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
A16 for Wilson and S4.S24 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 in the primary election
held two weeks ago was more than
$4,000. 1t was remarkably large for
IN election held only to nominate state
candidates.
The Republican vote was 10000.
The Democratic candidates for gov
ernor made very hot race. but their
total was little less than $4,000. Tho
Progressive candidates polled a 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 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 Its 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.
II is also plain that the people OF
Minnesota have decided. by an over
whelming majority. to make an end
Of the present Democratic administra-
tion at Washington. at the earliest
possible date. In that determination
they stand with the other states Of the
North. from ocean to ocean.

COLORADO MUST
AID SELF SAYS
WERNER I. REED

Colorado is. through circumstanc-
es over which the people of the state
have had no control. in the position
of being forced to take care for a
long time of her own development.
We must find in our own pockets the
money to develop our rich resources.
Fortunately we have the money. The
banks are full of it and all that we
seem to lack is the courage to take it
out and place IL where it will become
productive"
Werner Y. Reed. who has been a
firm believer i'm Western enterprises
and has financed many important
ventures through his foreign connec-
lions as well as through his own
means, spoke in this fashion today
when discussing opportunities for the
investment of funds in things that
will make Colorado greater and rich
er. Until certain banalities have
been overcome, he said, he did not
believe that there would be any large
influx of foreign capital into the
state, but he is confident that when
these difficulties have been sur
mounted the financial world would be
In a mood to help in the development
of the state.
