rather than wanonly continue the split he lnaugIated
But other leaders have given out that they would
continue the Independent partisan movement regardless
of Roosevelts attitude.
The fact remains that the state and congressional
elections of 1914 and 1915 indicated that the Progressive
movement had lost vitality The Republicans, under
that name, seemed TO have resumed sway IN many
states that turned TO the Democrats in 1872
or captured by the Progressives To all prophecies
based on the apparent decline of Progressivsm in the
bye-eections the leaders of that party simply replied
that the fights state issues, and that the
Progressves of 1912 would be found in solid line IN
1916 when national issues at stake.
Progressive programs so far offered have shown a
tendency to drop lot of the isms that complicated
the movement in 1912 1t is seen that too many side
lines taken up, too many purely state policies
introduced into the national program The leaders
declare that they have won all they conended for IN
many respects and merely dropping dead issues.
The unsympathetic critics maintain that the Progress
sives trying to regain conservative status prepara
tory to jumping back into the party fold
Public declarations of Republican leaders heretofore
have been unsatisfactory campaign material They
have been obviously cropping, else aclated chiefly
by merely negative opposition to all things stamped
Democratic. That sort of thing does not make winning
campaigns 1t was left to Elihu Root to state clearly
and folcefuly the matters which the old Republican
party will 90 TO the country. Thinking Democrats
enthusiastically welcome such clear cut statement OF
broad national and international issues 1t clarifies the
atmosphere for all concerned.
Regardless of its subject matter, which will impress
each reader differently Roots speech must appear to
all to be mastery exposition Of Partys position
Root does not language to conceal thought He has
mighty positive and direct way Of presenting what
is in his mind. He does not mince and pick around
does he fence with clever phrase and shrewd convance
