It seems to be agreed that Progress
sives will lose nothing of their pro
gressiveness or identity by throwing
their weight to the United Republican
delegates, but will rather be casting
their support as they have been be-
fore, namely, against the ancient re-
dictionary enemy now represented by
the Fredericks-Otis faction. Even if
the Progressives and the Republicans
should not unite nationally at Chi
cago, nothing is lost, but much is
gained in California, by another and
no doubt final defeat of the Freder-
icks-Otis crew. The answer to the

With the United Republican ticket
elected, the delegates will go to Chi
cago, and the Progressive delegates
likewise, both delegations understand
ing the conditions and ready to work
for an honorable amalgamation of the
two parties nationally, behind for
ward-looking candidate standing on q
platform leaning strongly toward pro.
gressivism. This is the end that
seems to be generally desired and
the putting of the United Republican
ticket in the field in this state was
with that purpose in view.
Of course, there is no one who can
positively state that amalgamation is
absolutely going to take place, but if
other states do as California-and
there is a general trend in that di-
rection-the result is likely to be ac-
complished. Therefore, one big ques-
tion is answered by the foregoing
statement of conditions, and that is
that there is an issue, and very de-
fined one, at these same May pri-
maries, and that no person who wishes
to express his convictions should fail
to register before the first of April
in order to vote at these primaries.
The Progressives throughout the state
are registering in three different
ways. A few are registering Progress
sive straight, but the great majority
of the "decline- state" registration
is also being done by Progressives,
while thirdly, many Progressives are
registering as Republicans, because
they believed that they had to be reg
istered under the Republican name in
order to be able to vote the United
Republican ticket. However, such was
not necessary, as those who register
