In this fight, tho votes of Illinois and Pennsylvania havo made clear beyond tho shadow of n doubt what had become fairly clenr two mouths ago, namely, that tho contest is exclusively botweon the reactionaries who aro supporting Mr. Taft and mysolf. Either a reac tionary will bo nominated or I will bo nominated. Thoro Is no midway course. Mr, Taft'a managers know this well nnd in Oregon ns well as everywhere else are encouraging every division In tho progressive ranks with the vain hopo of damag ing mo, I am vory certain In view of the wny things aro now going that wo shall bo ablo to win n progressive victory.
