H. Burke, who is the new national
committeeman is "progressive.' Now
just what does the Press mean by
that? The Press wants to see the
right of the initiative and the refer
endnm taken away from the people of
the state, and by taking that position
puts itself into a more reactionary
position than Mr.. Burke eyer thought
of occupying. The people of the state

who shout progressive as a cover
for reactionary policies. They are
