CALLS PROCRESS|VES
TO PARTY CONFERENCE

Matthew Hale of Massachusetts,, act
ing chairman of the progressive ma
tional committee. who. after the In
dfanapoIs progressive conference last
summer went over to the support of
President Wilson, has issued a call for
q conference of proGressives in New
York city. December l.. to provide for
q larger conference to be held subse-
Quently in st. Louis.
This action follows the overtures
made this week, at Chicago by Ray
mond Robins, Clifford Pinchot and other
progressives for a closer afliliation with
the republican party. through larger
representation of progressives in the
national management of the republi-
can party.
ETr. HaIe's Statement.
Nsr. Hale. in his statement. says:
1--we progressives have always been
more interested in the success of the
principles for which We are fighting
than in the existence of our party as
separate entity, says the cali we
have always been ready to support
either of the old parties when either OF
them commits itself definitely ana lr-
reyocably to a really liberal program
Until then. however, we are not demo-
Gratis we are not repu5licans-"e are
progreSsiveS.
MANY of us thought that President
Wilson had gone far toward commit
ting the democratic party nationally
to such a liberal program, therefore,
we voted for him We felt that the re-
publican party was committed to a
policy of reaction and that the repuh-
1ican candidate was committed TO Il
policy of evasion. Therefore, we re-
fused to follow those of our former
heads who attempted to persuade us
that the republican party had become
progressive merely because a few OF
these former progressive leaders had
been given prominent but powerlSss
positions on a republican campaign
committee For the same reason we
now refuse to join these progressive
republicans in asking the republican
old guard to give US places on a repub-
lican executive committee as proof of
the LIBERALIZATION of the republican
party. j
with the old guard of either party. We
are willing to cooperate in every way
with the liberal element of either
party. We stand ready to help Presi-'
dent Wilson at all times and in all
ways in his fight TO liberaliZe tire demo-
crStic party, and we stand ready to
help Hiram Johnson of California at all
times and in all ways in his fight to
uberaiize the republican party,
His View of the Future.
Sooner or later, the liberal elements
Of all parties and of all sections, north
and south, east and west. will unite to
form really coherent and a really na-
tional liberal party-perhaps under
one of the old party standards, perhaps
under a new standard-and VIII COM
plete the work begun so splendidiy by
Woodrow Wilson and Hiram Johnson.
We progressives must be ready to de-
vote our lives to this work. We must
see clearly that success cannot come
through compromise or through barter,
but that success can come through un-
faltering loyalty to progressive princi-
pies. and through undaunted courage in
fighting those who oppose these princl-
ples"
