it now had real dissension in its own
camp to reckon with. This was not
the case with the Mugwump defec-
ton. That created little concern and
its portent was inconsequential
The Independent spirit that so
sharply manifested itself in the Dol
liver break with his party in 1910
is the same spirit that. now grown
bolder and more radical, is carrying
things with a high hand in our ma
tional legislature.
In 1910 the insurgents came main
ly out of the Republican party, Two
thirds to three-quarters OF the Roose-
welt vote in the 1912 Presidential
campaign came out OF the Republi-
can party. The balance mainly came
from tho Democratic party.
The present insurgent movement
is an enormously larger thing. 1t
is made up moro evenly of Repub-
licans and Democrats. It is broader
and bigger in every way. In It are
represented many shades Of political
opinions. but the dominant note OF
this great discordant body OF insur-
gents. unorganized and leaderless. is
radicalism. Is it not, however, an
irresponsible radicalism. It has its
feet planted squarely on the ground.
In the bulk It is conservative in
that It has lands and houses and m
vestments and other possessions to
conserve.
In the bulk there is nothing in
common between these insurgents
and socialism, nothing In common
between them and Bolshevism. Like
all other men they are enormously
more radical without responsibility
than they would be withlit. Respon-
sibility tempers extrava gancc.
This wide insurgent movement has
given much concern to the nation.
But II is well to keep in mind the
fact that these insurgents are Amer
leans and that the calm common
sense of the Americans always saves
them from Disaster and lands them
on their feet. The New York
Herald has deep and abiding saith
in the sober sense OF our great citi-
zenship.

Political Insurgency and the
Expansion Of RadicaIism
(FrOm The New york HeraIdD

The political insurgency of today
Is a thing OF the Republican party;
radicalism in its enveloping sweep
is thing OF both the Democratic
and Republican parties.
Political insurgency came to the
surface in 1910 under the leadership
OF Senator Dolliver OF Iowa. Until
1910 Senator Dolliver had gone
straight with his party. He had been
a thorough organization man. He
was a big figure among outstanding
Republicai statesmen. He supported
the Dingley Tariff. act in 1897 with
characteristic force.
But in 1910 he refused TO give his
Endorsement to the Payne-Aldrich
tariff. He broke with his party over
this tariff and in a powerful speech
on June IA. 1910, led the revolt OF
Republicans who felt as he felt with
regard TO this measure. and who felt
as he felt with regard to the un-
yielding dominance of Republican
stalwartism. From that time on
Senator Dolliver and his adherepts
we're called insurgents and we're
treated as such by the controlling
forces OF the party.
The Mugwump detection in the
Blaine Cleveland campaign in 1884
was not the same thing. That de-
fection was reactionary in spirit and
conservative to the nth degree. II
was the very antithesis OF progress
sivism or radicallsm.
The Dolliver insurgents, on the
contrary. had already become I'm
bued with the spirite OF liberalism
The Progressive party. which came
into being two years later, in 1912,
was hut the bigger expression OF
the Dolliver insurgency But for
Delivers break with the stalwarts
there might not have been, and prob
ably would not have heen, the break
in 'Republican ranks in 1912.
Dolliver pointed the way. The
nationwide response TO his initiative
revealed a measure OF lurking inde-
pendence in the Republican ranks
that caused general surprise and
much concern. For the first time
in the life OF the Republican party
