TEST OF THE PRoGREssIvEs

The leadership Of the Republican
party is incompetent and reactionary.
The latest demonstration of this fact
was the nomination of Warren G.
Harding for the presidency.
The greater part of the rank and
file Of the Republican party is in
telligent, patriotic and progressive.
This was demonstrated in 1912, when
Theodore Roosevelt, as the candidate
Of the progressive element, carried
eight States, receiving 88 electoral
votes, and VIM, H. Taft, as the can
didate of the dictionaries, carried two
States, receiving eight electoral
votes.
The same reactionary leadership
that nominated Taft in 1912 nomi-
mated Harding in 1920.
The progressive element Of the Re-
publican party has had, no more viru-
lent and abusive foe than Warren G.
Harding, and the reactionary, like
the leopard. can not change his spots.
The progressive element returned
to the party under the plain implica-
ton that the party would adopt a
more progressive attitude in national
affairs.
Instead Of doing 50, the reactioary
leadership of the party now denies
an honorable completion Of the
American victory achieved in the
world war, in, which Republicans and
Democrats fought side BY side with
no thought Of partisanship.
Again the reactionaries have put
the progressives to test Of sincerity.
Il is inconceivable that they will not
meet the test with the intelligence
and patriotism they displayed on
issues that did not. as in this case,
involve the honor Of the United
States.

Did you ever think of the good
points of Satan? He sure is a perse-
vering animal; he's on the Job all the
time.
The rich fool lost out because he
got riches; a lot of poor fools lose
out and get nothing at all.
If some people would only talk re-
ligion as earnestly as they do politics
they would do good.
Some ladies don't want the robe
OF righteousness because it is not cut
in up-to-date fashion and they can't
fox trot in it.
