PROCRESSIVES OF WEST
ARE KEY TOC. C.O.P. HOPES
Support of Liberals Beyond Alleghenies
Held Necessary for Survival of
Republican Party.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.


N IAGNos1s Of the disease Of
the Republican party is cas-
Ter than prescription of rem
edy. Still, diagnosis" Is the
proper word. It Is not case Of post
mortem. There Is life in the Re-
publican party and sixteen million
voters are not going to remain with
out q political organization to express
them. Yet it is no easy thing to say.
at this time, what the Republican
party needs to do. The prescription
for cure has yet to appear.
Practically all the doctors agree on
one point. that the West and Mid
west Is the location of the party's
most serious paralysis and the place
where it must again get its feet if
1t is to be winning party. As Re-
publican Representative Hamilton
Fish of New York puts it, 1T Is the
height Of political folly to any longer
believe that the Republican party
can survive without the support Of
the Western liberals"
Certainly that must be accepted as
true. Unless something wholly new
is ahead of US, unless the Republican
party Is to become something 50 Diff
ferent that it cannot now be envis-
aged, unless the future political line
up in America follows geographical
lines utterly different from the past.
or unless there is q political lineup
in which the divisions are not geo.
graphical at all but are group or
class cleayages-unless one Of these
things happens the Republican party
must accept Congressman Fish's pre-
scription for cure and look to getting
back the West.
Republicans and the West.
How much the West has meant to
the Republican party in the past
and how serious the Vests present
detection can be shown by few facts.
Take all the presidential elections
since that of 1896-that year is an
appropriate dividing point because
that Is the year in which Bryan was
the Democratic candidate running on
q currency issue, and on that issue at
IAAab tAlA1C CSVCIdA VCcVClA OIdICS NC4ll
Democratic that had never done so
before. Take, then, the So years be-
tween 1896 and the first Franklin
Roosevelt year, 1882 But omit from
the period the presidential election of
1912. because in that year there was
. cleavage caused by the Progressive
party under Theodore Roosevelt which
practically cut the Republican party
in two. We have remaining seven
presidential elections in which condi-
tions were normal beginning with
1900 and ending with 1928, but omit
ting 1922.
In those seven normal presidential
elections let us look at how the West
voted. give TIE names of the States
with in each case the number Of times
they went Republican:
