BY JANE ADDAMS

In 1912 many OF us became
members OF the progressive
party not only because we be-
lievcd that the correction OF
abuses inevitably developed
by an uncontrolled industrial
ism should become a vital
issue in federal politics, but
also because we were con-
vinccd that this modern type
OF remedial legislation could
be accomplished only thru a
new party.
We predicted the sacrifice
OF federal legislation and the
control OF local issues if the
democratic party were elected ;
the sacrifice Of the popular
control Of government and
the ascendency OF business in
terests il the republican party
were placed in power.
Because OF these beliefs !. at
least, was quite unprepared for the
distinctive period in American poll.

party Leadership OF President VIII
son. when important federal meas.
ures were constantly passed for the
national adjustment Of nationwide
problems.

filled. and series Of legislative
achievements not equaled by any
