wAAr IS A REpUsLIcAN
(New York wOrld)

The new Trace Commission Act provides that not more than three members Of the Commission shall be- long to the same political party.
 The President has compiled with the provisions Of the law by naming three Democrats and two Republicans but the Republican leaders in Wash ington are in state of ferment be- cause the two Republicans belong, 1t is said, to the progressive faction Of that party. Threats are already made that the nominations win be deleat- ed on the ground that representation on tue commission has been denied to real Republicans.
 The law does not provide that the President shall appoint any Repubh- cans at all. but if progressive Re publican what is her Are the Repub- lican leaders prepared to so to the polls in 1916 and maintan the thesis that a progressive Republican is not Q Republican,
 In 1912 there were S,4S4,s56 votes cast by the standpat faction of the Re- publican party and 4.11s,5o7 votes cast by the Progressive faction In 1914 most of these progressiyes again yot- ed the regular ticket, and the hope of the Republican party in 1916 lies in the return of all the progressiYes who revolted in 1912. Do the Repubii- cans Of the United States Senate in- tend to make such a reunion impossi- ble by formally reading the progress ives out of the party?
 The only indictment handed down against the two Republicans nominat- ed to the commission by Mir. Wilson Is that they are progressiyes. No other charge is made against them. It is admitted that they arc able and and honest and public spirited. but they are not reactionar-I les or stnndpatters. This is Q disabn- Ity that they must share with more than han of the men who voted the ticket in 191l.
 When 1t comes to the test, win the in the Senate seriously seek to prevent the confirmation of .hese two nominations? We doubt it.
