his determined stand that prevented the printers

way for the adoption OF the arbitration agree
ment that has done SO much to establish and
preserve peace between the newspaper publish

OF which he was executive head. and since his

used convention to meet In Chicago

historic tumble called their 1912 plat

that should the republicans nominate
the progressive candidates and swallow
their pet platform. they would then go
into the republican party, but made IL
clear that they would leave the door
open so they could come out with as
big following as possible whenever
they felt they were not getting proper
attention.
As republican have always believed
and worked that the party should be
responsive to the peoples needs and

The thousands of republicans who were
carried out OF the party in 1912 by the
sophistries OF the progressive movement
are back in the republican party today.
In fact. a great majority OF them never
contemplated leaving the party, but
could not resist following their political
idol. Theodore Roosevelt. Now we find
the leaders OF the misnomered progress
sive party without a following, vet pos
sessed OF cheek to run bluff In hopes
Of debating terms. That party was or
ganized for the advancement of no moral
issue. but pure unadulterated spite. and
for the sole purpose Of defeating the
