I have had word from clubs In some
20 States. It Is my judgment that
after you organize in the States, you
will have to have q national organ

Ready to Go Half Way.
Senator Nye said that the Repub-
licans of the West were willing to
meet the Republicans half way in re-
organization of the party. Pointing
out that the Republicans Of the West
have gone along through thick and
thin in the past in support Of the
party, Nye said:
To-day We ask for q reformed Re-
publican party If we are longer to fol-
low. And If We can't have that. we
can serve our needs and wishes in q
new progressive party even though the
election machinery affords frightful
odds against immediate success for O
new political party"
Tine party needs to be reborn" said
Senator Nye. 1T needs to accom-
plish complete enforcement from its
old loves, its old moorings. 1t needs
to get back to where it found its real
successes-where 1t found life. = II
needs to turn its back upon that which
has been its undoing, namely the
private money bags of the country
from which came that thing thought
to be the one ingredient needed to
succeed.
mo matter how desperate may be
the need for money in rebuilding the
party, the greatest amounts of it will
be to no avail If 1t must be paid back
by favors to big business which fur
nishes it. Under the most favorable
Of circumstances a comeback for the
Republican party is going to be diff
cult. With a Wall Street ball and
chain still attached to it, comeback
is not so much as to be dreamed Of. -
Power Will Come From Labor.
'To talk about a conservative party
in this country within the near fu-
ture," said Senator Borah, demanding
liberalization Of the G. o. p, is tc
shut our eyes to all the conditions
about us. You will do marvelously
well If you hold the politics Of ouI
country within the compass Of liberal
constitutional lines. That we ought
to strive for. To do less Is to place
ourselves in o position where we can
do nothing.
1.-THE driving power in politics In
this country for years to come, ven
ture to believe, will come from labor
from the producer, from small busi-
ness and from the millions who have
through no fault of their own been
stripped Of their life'S savings and life's
opportunities. If out of all this Is to
come orderly and constitutional gov
ernment, there must also come a sys-
tenn and a body Of laws insuring a
wholly different distribution of the
wealth of our country.
"The depression with which we are
struggling is something more than q
mere business debacle, something more
than c temporary economic disturb
ance, 1t Is in the nature Of notice
that the iniquities and the injustices
of our economic structure call for re-
adjustment. More than once In his
tory men have refused to listen to q
cali Of this nature and such expert
ences have not been fortunate for any
one"
