but believes the fight is going to be 81
hard one and will call for thorough
organization and cooperation on the
part of the Republicans and Progress
sives over the country. From now on
he says the Republicans will put up
better organized fight-in fact he as
serts the machinery of the Republican
and Progressive parties is just getting
into smooth running order for one OF
the most strenuous campaigns in the
history of the country. Mr.. Corrick has
absolute confidence in Justice Hughes.
He expressed his qualification over the
evolution within the Republican party,
which, through the cooperation of the
Progressives, has pushed to the fore
front men who stand for progressive
principles and are able to cope with the
situation.
CONFERS WITH LEADERS.
AIR CorriclI has for years been
identified with the political situation
in Nebraska. He was sergeant-at
arms at the last Progressive national
convention at Chicago and ably
handled the situation there-one Of the
most demonstrative of conventions.

While in Boise he conferred with Re
publican and Progressive leaders over
the situation that confronts the party.
During the past few weeks he has been
in North Dakota, Minnesota, Colorado,
Wyoming, Montana, Washington, Ore

mission that brings him to Idaho.
at is significant that so many men
of progressive tendencies have been
placed in nomination for important Of

Corrick. THE entire state ticket of
North Dakota is made up of men of

Frank b. Kellogg, better known as the
trust buster, is the Republican candi-

election is certain. The same situa

PROGRESSIVE SENATORS.
THE prospects for placing men of
progressive ideas in control of the sem
ate are just as bright. La Toilette is
the leader in Wisconsin. He will be
returned to the senate. John L. Ken
nedy will be elected United States SEN

and dry fight. Mr.. Kennedy is a

"The result of the Maine election

Amalgamation in many of the states
between Republicans and Progressives
is rapidly going on. In Oregon there

Nebraska there will be united support

fected between the Republicans and
Progressives in Colorado.
JUSTICE HUGHES CO-oPERATES.
I'VE are highly encouraged over the
situation. The Progressives have gain
ed all they fought for except the can
didates. A cooperative Arrangement
in the direction Of affairs nationally
has been made with the Republican
committee and candidates. Justice
Hughes is working hand in hand in
this arrangement. There is no rea-
son why a Progressive cannot support
him. If he is president a Progressive
will stand on an equal basis as a Re
publican. They do now The Pro-
gressives are going back into the Re-
publican party.
zone of the most significant develop
ments since the Chicago conventions.
in my opinion, is the announcement of
Raymond Robins, who was chairman
of the Progressive convention, that he
will support Justice Hughes. He
reached this conclusion after long de-
liberation. Mr.. Robins is one of the
most forceful men of the country and
great friend of labor. He went out
of the Democratic into the Progressive
party and in 1912 supported President
Wilson. He has devoted most of his
time to the cause of labor. Such men
as Beveridge, Roosevelt, Robins and
others will tour the western states on
behalf of Hughes. Present Wilson is
stronger than his party and it will be
hard fight to defeat him but we will
win with Justice Hughes"
