BY willis :. Thompson.

INDIANAPOLIS, June IS.-Pres-
ent activity IN state political organi-
zations is the sort that usually comes
a few weeks preceding an important
election. All of which indicates that
the election Of 1916 viii probably be
most interesting national and state

The state headquarters Of the pro-
gressives at Indianapolis closed few
weeks ago. After the 1914 election
although the party pOlled los, 900
votes in the state, there came a les
sening OF enthusiasm, one result be-
ing lack Of funds 10 keep up the
expensive club rooms. There were
debts. Creditors asked a republican
judge to appoint a receiver. The re-
publican judged named a democratic
receiver. The democratic receiver
employed Lew Shank One-time re-
publican mayor of indianapolis, pres
ent-time vaudeville star, all-the-time
auctiOneer. to sell the club effects.
Then some people declared the pro-
gressives were cutters and the party
was going 10 pieces. While this was
In the air a meeting of the state COM

Chairman Edward G. Toner said that
three courses were open.
"First-TO continue the party and

.''second-To march bodily into the
republican party.
"Third-To release the members Of
the progressive party without direct
ing them where 10 go"
Toner is "Quitter."
BY his acts as chairman and as an
individual. and by his comments in
both capacities, Mr.. Toner left no
doubt that he strongly favored
marching bodily into the republican
party" When the committee voted

air. Toner'S notion of marching
the progressive party bodily any
where. or OF releasing the members
OF the progressive party from any
thing may seem strange reading TO
the people OF Indiana who are num-
bered among progressive voters. The
one characteristic among all others
that has ruled with these 10S,000 In
diana voters who stood for certain
welI-dehned principles in the last
election, was their absolute independ-
ence of dictation from anyone.
Not Progressive idea.
"To be marched bodily into any
political party or to be released
without telling us where to go is a
peculiar idea" declared one militant
in discussing Mr.. Toner'S proposition.
Some people seem to forget that il

dictation that brought a few million

time To decide"
The indianapolis Star, the most inn
pOrtant newspaper advocate of pro-
gressiVism in Indiana, has this 20 say
editorially of the action of Mr. Toner
and the progressive state committee.
G.. O. l.. Not Progressive.
THE simple truth is that neither
Mr.. Toner nor any one else knows
much of anything about 1916 today
We are unable to join with those who
think they see a satisfactory present
progressivization OF the republican
party in Indiana or elsewhere; but
we unhesitatingly commend the fidel-
ity and the judgment of those who
say that they will be convinced when
they see the proof and that they Will
act when the occasions arise instead
of running out to anticipate them a
year or more ahead of time.
cit is not impossible that the at
tTaCtiVe power of the present scramble
for official nomination in the repub-
lican party is the magnet that draws
some OF these gentlemen within its
purview. If so we shall soon see; and
in the meantime two contingencies arc
possible which would upset all the
horoscope. one is the patent stand
pat control of the republican party by
the reviving forces of the reaction
aries. whom the American people will
never again elevate TO power
THE other is a campaign next year
in which the issue should be the war
policy of Pres't Wilson. In any crit
ical stage OF our foreign relations. ap-
preaching the contingency Of war,
Indiana republicans as well as Indiana
progressives would stand by the ad-
miniStratiOn at Washington. There
will be time enough TO meet the pa
triotic duties of 1916 when 1916
comes along"
The republicans maintain that be-
cause most of the prOgressives were
originally republicans they will natur-
ally return, having accomplished
much that they hoped for in rebuking
the leaders so effectively
Many To Back Wilson.
The democrats claim, with equal
show of reason, that the progressives
left the republican party because GER
tain standardized party doctrines an
tagonized the progressive spirit Of
the times. That the earnestness and

spirit Of the rebellion. That the same
spirit is still the dominating and con-
trolling factor and the natural haven.
