Show Still In Evidence f UR Progressive friends had a love feast the - other night. Our old friends, Evans and Sanfoid, were in full evidence. Each gave full certificates that their party was still alive in Utah, and, further, that its mission not yet being quite filled, it intended to continue just marking time, it had no intention of quitting until Its mission was fully accomplished. All fair-minded people must applaud their H courage, even if they have misgivings as to the H soundness of their discretion. H None of the orators announced any program Hj except tho determination to continue to live. Had Colonel Ingersoll of Pocatcllo been present, it H would have been different. Indeed he has already H marked out the route of the party over its over- H land highway. He is generous, too. He declares H his -willingness to partially forgive such Republl- H cans as will truly repent and join in the nomln- H ation of Col. Roosevelt next summer. He will H not give them full confidence, but will admit H them to the ranks on probation. Of course they H will not be given any offices or emoluments until H they shall have done sufficient penance for the H sin of not accepting the colonel three years ago, H but must" be content with a place in the ranks H and honorable mention. H If this Is refused then another campaign of H smash must be inaugurated, even if the result H happens to be the re-election of President Wil- H son. In common gratitude the Democrats should H pay all tho campaign expenses of our friends, the H Progressives; it is not fair to compel Mr. Perkins H to longer carry the load. |
