 ing surface eddies and tendency of the rank and file voters in the one party as opposed to the other, that abdes? If so, which party through such mass drift such tendency of it's rank and file holds the hope progressive principles in the solution of domestic problems and inter- national policy? The answer to this question is two fold, first the character and environment of the primary voter mass control, and second the perman ent achievements of it's leadership
 The primary voter control of the democratic party is in fifteen southern and southwestern states and in the industrial cities of the nuron The fixed southern control of the democratic party is indi- vidualistic in its thinking, sectional in it's sympahes and inherts tradition against common labor servile. The social organization is still -patri archal in the rural communities and the southern en- vironment presents the maximum of natural and cultural resistance necessary social and industrial standardization
 The democratic primary voter mass control in the industrial cities is the most heterogeneous of our national groups and the excessive pressure of living and industrial conditions renders the most fertile field boss control in the service of selfish personal and corporate interests.
 The primary voter mass control of the republican party the rural communities of the central, western and New England states. This group repre- sens the highest literacy in America is freest from severe social economic pressure is in the of greatest natural tendency to industrial standard ization and equality of opportunity and nherts the tradition of Lincoln and the men who saved the Union.
 The republican party-though often dominated by the special privilege and made by them the instrument of vast explotation-has a rank and file of and women who have proved their capacity to reject false or dishonest leadership.
 Mir Robins spoke the achievements of the publican party; of it's conception in the moral revolt against slavery of its baptism in the national srug gle that saved the Union. of in which 1t had cleansed itself in those where boss tro had obtained: of its successful revolt in Cali fornia Pennsylvania, Illinois and Wisconsin. Its -purificaton and the and strength which procured the highest test of achievement To such party Mr. Robins believed progressives must translation of their principles into action.
 He spoke of the newer issues national equal suf- frage, universal military service and training pre- paredness for efficiency in a time of peace the need of a comprehensive foreign policy that will accept the facts of the world situation and obligations under the Monroe Doctrine" the need of prepara- for a maintenance of right part in the world movement, advancing democratic purpose and human interests in the international field as against the domination of privilege As these matters Mir Robins said:
 Can these imperative national needs be worked out by a states rights democratic party that plans state dominated militia with it's menace of shiftless incompetence spois politics and organized snobbery in national defense force at time of world peril?
 More and it becomes plain that most of our pressing problems of large import are national in scope and will yield only national action. Yet find in the democratic party the modern-and let us hope. the as--stronghod of the advocates of local sovereignty
 This doctrine of indvldualism sectionalism and dsunion menaced and almost prevented the freeing of the colonies foreign dominion. This doctrine wel-ngh defeated the adoption of unifying const tuition wherein the American nation became fact.
 This doctrine after sixty years almost overthrow national in disssnsion the issue of slavery. This doctrine since the civil war has de- ayed national legislation urgently needed solve the problems of pure food transportation child labor and conservation.
 Wherever the fight efficient and humane government has been waged this baneful doctrine of rights has been invoked to rally and shelter the society forces sectional bias local jealousy and all the mean narrow pas sions that hold mems eyes upon the ground, when great human needs call upon them 10 look beyond rough and dusty roads to the far country that is worth the toll and sacrifice of the long. hard journey
 In view of national necessities MT Robins believed that progressives should not hesitate between the party of nationslism and the party of sectionasm. if social and industrial justice is to be established in the city. and nation
 Reviewing the character and the record of Mir. Hughes and his nomination which had been forced upon reactionary party leaders, Mir. Robins said:
 This estimate of the progressive character of the republican nominee does not rest the testimony alone of his record and his associates. From state the signature of one of the ablest of the progressive leaders in this nation quote follows:
 "The nomination Of MT Justice Hughes will be acceptable to the great body of progressive republi in this country..' He not the choice of the reactionary element the platform and otherwise controlled the convention. .f..9. He is able. independent fearless. and possessed Of high public spirit There is question of his per and political integrity he will go far his convictions carry him and ulterior influence can stop him
