Amid all this BBBJ controersy tho Progressive party with n fixed purposo goos steadily and BBBJ unitedly on in advocacy of its platform adopted at Chicago last August. BBBJ Tho Republican party are asking us to come back. But to what BBBJ did where no they wish us to como? They say that wu are largely a part H rf iho Old Republican Army, that wo are one division and they nnothur. H li.v asking us to "como back" tbey admit wo nro tho advanco division. Ann B wo are. Wo had eighty-eight electoral votes and they eight. Wo hnvo ono H hundred ami forty-threo thousand votors In Now Jersey nnd they havo eighty BBBJ c ght thousand; wo have over four and a quarter million voters In tho na- BBBf t'on and ncv luivo threo million. If wo could gu back to the leadership B f Lincoln, Grant, Garfluld or McKlnley, it might bo a mnttcr worth consul- H (rlni:, but uovur to tho leadership of BarnoA, Pcnroso rntl Smoot.

Wo V rinnot y'ud a slglo principle for which we stand. B l Our strength has forced the Income tax, direct election of United B K."itcn Senators, Public Utll'tles CommlsslonB and the regulation of railway B ritis; tho direct primary for everything but President. But wo still are H Cluing for tho Initiative and Referendum and tho Recall nnd tho direct HWVWVWWWWWWV ' - itaders tor better ones will not accomplish tho restoration of tho party. Tho party must become wholly Progressive. Tho people aro in jio mind for unytalng but Progressive doctrines; for an absolutely popultr govern- ' ment founded on LInco.n.nn principles, based solely upon tho rule of tiio li.o.ili, t.uJ tie Ucctiuctlon of special privilege. , T!.at is whnt tho falling off of forty-five per centum of the Hepubli- I n:in oto meant la tho Congressional election lasLweek in MassachUBo'ts. !

Whon the old gang' In that state stole (he name of "Proaressive" (which was In keeping with their theft at Chicago) tho Progressives of that stato took the name of "Washington Party" and whipped both tho old parties to a frazzle. With the Progressives It Is coun-.try coun-.try first, party afterwards. President Wilson. Is a Progressive he believes In tho initiative, the referendum and the recall for all officials except the Judiciary. Ju-diciary. He has said so many times. His party so declared at Baltimore. ' How do tho Republicans expect the Progressives to come to them, as against tho Democrats, when they came out frankly for all these advanced Issuosr I Uotjgnn.zation will do no good, if it goes no farther than changing the machinery. ma-chinery. Machinery Is of 'no concern to-a Progressive; If by any chance i tno reactionaries in the Democratic uarty- get control against the Wilson liryun element of tho Democracy tho Progresstvo element of that party nave no n'Urnntlvo but union with us. Colonel Colgate Is quoted as saying: "Whot wo want Is not to listen to tho vojees pf the old leaders but rise up and demand new loaders, unitedly chosen, and rally -round them." That is fine. But that Is tho only ono step. Wbat-aro'the new leaders' going to stand for? That Is of moro Importance to its than who thoy aro. Until theso things aro made clear wo shall go In tho firm, conviction that tno Progressive party best represents the will of thp people and let them doclda whether they want us or not. We do not think thero Is great doubt as to the result of tho Issue. Unless the Republican party follows Colgate's advice ad-vice and throws over Its presont leadors it will fado away as an organization organiza-tion of force in the Republic and this Stato boforo 116. What tho partios will bo then no ono enn predict. But this is sure, that there will be at least ono Progressive party cither under that name or some other. Tho people aro determined to rulo this country for the greatest good to tho ' greatest number to tho oxcluslon of special prlvljpgo. Tho country belongs $ to them and they intend to tako tt over and dominate Its legislation, Its pub- i lie utilities, Its tariff laws, and all things which tond to tho betterment of Industrial In-dustrial and political conditions. Tho Progressives will welcome all who ', believe In theso tfilngs to como with them and It does not make the slight-ubl slight-ubl difference to us under what namo wo light for these things. Nor does ' It make any difference to us whether we win or loso; wo do not want to win if to do so means to sacrifice any of tho principles for which wo stand. Wo will not compromise with wrong.

If tho Republican party which did this thing hurt year wishes to cume up with us and unite, they must first hold a court martial and try, convict and drive out of leadership tho men guilty of tho political fraud whli-h caused tbnl party's defeat last year. When that is done, I for one nm rendv to welcome them with open arms. The vast mass of the men whn are still in tho o'd party would, bo glad to como with us thoy are only hold out by tho name that Is all. Who Imaglnos that It was an easy thing to cut uway from tho party in which one had spent nil the Dest years of his manhood! '.It was a terrible strugg'o between conscience and righteousness on the ono hand, and hored ty and past environment on tho othor; but thore was no alternative excopt wu approved political fraud, theft and dishonor. The handwriting is on tho wall. The wisest of the Republicans see it. Did ou read tho ed torial In tho Now York Tribune of April 27, headed "1 i IT NOW?" It wBs an admission that thero Is no hope for the Republican Repub-lican party under present conditions. What Is this but a wail of tho lost when that groat newspaper crescent, "What do tho leaders of tho Republican Republi-can party hope to accomplish by delaying its reorganization? If there aro dimciiltlcR in the way of holding a National Convention this year to reform representation in tho party councils and to mako Its leadership moro Progressive, Pro-gressive, thoy will not bo smaller next year nor tho year after. Nothing can be gained by temporizing with them." That means that Barnes, Penroso. , Crane. Smoot and Company must go or tho party has no future. Can thero . be any doubt of that?
