gram Of 1898.
Are we going TO permit this condi-
ton to exist when We Progressives and
Republicans differ only on non-essen-
tials?" said Sen. Sterling. II believe
that we are going to come together
in a common cause against the COM
mon foe, We are Progressive Repue-
licans In South Dakota" The Repuh-
lican electors in South Dakota voted
for Roosevelt, but We formed no third
party.
when the Progressives voted for
Roosevelt in 1919 they went off on name
and a personality. I have always been
a warm admirer of Roosevelt. We voted
for him because of certain happenings
in the Chicago convention. but those
were the proceedings of convention.
There was nothing then that could be
regarded as a good reason for the rise Of
the third party. The proceedings OF a
convention are not sufficient to warrant
the founding of a new party. It takes
deep fundamental principle to round
party. That was the one defect In the
Progressive organization. 1t was not
founded on principles essentially differ
ent from the Republican party. and for
that reason it cannot become great and
dominant influence in the United States.
All are rallying and will return to the
Grand Old Party and bring it again into
party,
The speech given this evening was Sem
Ster!ing's first appearance in the Maine
campaign. He will be in the State for
four days. Sen. Sterling was formerly
dean in the state University Law School
in South Dakota, and his speech had the
careful presentation that lawyer would
give In pleading for the cause OF his
client
The speech this evening was unusually
eloquent. In addition to discussing the
third party he compared the protective
tariff of the Republicans with that of
the free trade policy of the Democrats.
He also charged that President Wilson.

Service Reform Association, and that he
had declared himself in favor of civil

he refused to interfere with Democracy

From Galicia the only news is that
a fierce battle is still raging. The sit

army with Its base upon Craeow and
Przemysl, so miles west of Lemberg,
has occupied the southern portion of
the .Rusisan-Polish governments OF
Lublin ard Kielce. 1t advanced in two
independent columns to the north, one
on either side of the river Vistula,
Against the column advancing on Lub-

At the same time the Russian fourth
army crossed the eastern frontier In
Galacia and after series of minor
encounters, in which 1t was every
where victorious. il drove back the
considerable Austrian forces massed
