Secretary Of State Says Demo-
cratic Party Now Truly
Progressive Body.

PITTSBURGH. Aug. i.--"The Demo
cratic party has become. in the truest
sense Of the word. Progressive
party" said Secretary OF State Balm
bridge Colby in letter to a Pitts
burgher, denying reports that he pro-
posed to resign and return to the Re-
publican fold. Colby was one of the
leaders of the Progressive party in
1912.
His letter was written to Thomas r.
Meacham, who called his attention to
the newspaper reports and asked the
Secretary for a statement.
The letter follows:
81 thank you for your letter OF the
26th, calling my attention to a report
to the effect that I am contemplating
resigning my present position and
joining the Republican party. i have
not seen the newspaper to which you
refer, but I hasten to assure you that
nothing could be further from my in
tention.
Is nothing in the Republican party
it's platform, it's candidates or its
record to appeal to any man OF Pro-
gressive inclinations or convictions.
On the other hand, the Democratic
party, under the leadership OF Presi-
dent Wilson, has become in the truest
sense of the word a Progressive party
and 1t has had for years and will con-
tinue to have my earnest and unqual-
flied support"
