reply ID submitted with much diffidence
and Tor myself alone.
Meaning Of Outcome.

1.-THE outcome Of the election means
primarily a profound dissatisfaction
with the present administration, deep
distrust Of it's motives, and complete
lack of confidence in its capacity Tor
government. This conclusion Is not
drawn solely from the technical results
Of the vote but from close observa :
ton of the voters during long ana
arduous campaign as we'll.
There was no real enthusiasm In
the democratic candidates save in
few localities, and In them the interest
was not national one.
Hundreds Of thousands of the rank
and file of the party voted the ticket
under protest. They did not break
away but they strained the party leash,
and their party ties have been so
weakened in the struggle that next
time they will not hold.
During the first fifteen months of
President Wilson's reign he was very
popular ruler, and the desire TO sustain
and support him was a prevalent SEN
timent. His popularity began to de-
cline before the last election. and since
then he has suffered a reversal in pub
lie opinion such as no other president
ever has experienced. In another con-
test his party will be left with no 9th
er strength than can be gathered
around is discrediea and hopeless
economic theories.
II do not forget or disparage the
persistency Of the democratic organiza-
ton, but in the coming campaign 1t
must occupy it's old ground with its
old dogmas, and it will not be able to
retain the. Wilson recruits.
Third Party Voters.
1T means. secondly, the rapidly ris-
ing conviction among the third party
progressives hat the present admins
tration is a disastrous, dismal failure;
that there is no hope of success for
their own party. and that the only
chance for efficient progressive gov
eminent is in the restoration OF the
republican party to power.
The voters of the third party are
sincere. capable and Independent. They
have definite purposes and they will
turn to that party which is travelling in
their general direction.
Il means thirdly that III 1916 re-
publican president. a republican house.
and probably a republican senate will
be elected. In so predicting, however,
assume that the republicans, in de-
termining the course of affairs. will not
forget the reasons which induced so
many of the progressives to leave their
party last year and to vote for our
candidates.
Only Chance to Block Victory.
THE only thing that can possibly
happen to proven. a sweeping republic
can victory next year is that we make
the vital mistake of going forward up
on the hypothesis that the progressive
n'ovement-anl am not now speaking
of the third party-has been abandoned
and that people are not concerned in
reforms which have been so earnestly
advocated in the last ten years and
many of which are far advanced to-
ward complete plishment.
Il agree that now and then some
progressive proposal has failed under
the acid test of public discussion, but
most OF them are now an inseparable
part of the national life. It would be
fatal to repudiate or ignore them. and
it would most seriously endanger our

have reached time when the agricul-
tural output must be increased by ex-
tending to the farmer. whether owner
or renter. more and better facilities
for production.
Must Let West Grow.
"SiXth-We must unlock the west;
not to the mere promoter and monopo-
list, but to the settler and improver.
Conservation in its best sense can be
attained without denying to the peo-
pie of the western states the opportun-
ity to grow.
Seventh believe in reducing the
armament Of the world, but, until this
is accomplished, the United States
must be kept strong enough so that
every other nation will know that we
can and will resist unjust demands and
enforce our honorable rights. We ought
not to pause q moment in our effort
to enlarge the scope Of arbitration, and
there must be found some Plan for the
enforcement of the judgments of arbi-
trail tribunals which call irto action
other powers than those OF the two
nations directly concerned"
Urged to Announce Candidacy.
The friends of Senator Cummins be-
lieve that he will be a candidate for
the republican nomination for presi-
dent and that he will find united in his
support the entire progressive element
Of the party.
1t is known that he is receiving
thousands of letters a week from all
parts of the country urging HIM to an
nounce his candidacy, and that the
movement is gaining great solidity in
the progressive republican states of the
west. So far, however, the senator has
refused to encourage these manifesto
tions Of support.
That Mr.. Cummins, one of the
founders Of the progressive movement
in politics. is the most important fig
ure in the republican party today is
the opinion Of most political observers

in Washington. 1t was for the purpose
Of acquainting the people with the
views Of the man who may become
the republican candidate for the pres-
dency that the Tribune correspondent
sought an interview with the Iowa
senator.
Results Of Election.
what is your Interpretation of the
results of the election last November?'
the senator was asked.
1.-The specific result Of the last cleo
ton are. Of course, known to every
body" he replied. THE republicans
gained tremendously in the house of
representatives and lost slightly in the
senate. We ought to have entirely
overcome or at least reduced the dem
ocratic majority in the senate, and our
failure to do it was due to local and
temporary conditions.
wisconsin and South Dakota are
strongly republican. the democrats
have no title in California; Colorado is
just as<safe for 1916 as Iowa. and the
personal popularity Of the democratic
candidates in Nevada and Oregon
changed the political situation in those
states.
$50 far there is, think, general
agreement among those who have
studied the subject. but I assume that
your inquiry Is intended to elicit my
views upon the further question which
might be stated In this way: What
does 1t all mean? In answering the
question l realize that am entering a

ference Of opinion, ~and therefore my
