Sheppard to Ron. '
New York, Jan. 22. New indoor
records are looked for tonight at the
field and track games to be held un
der the auspices of the Paterson
Elks. Melvin Sheppard in the mid
dle distances is to be the star at-
their past deeds and insure future
success by solemnly decorating the
southern delegation evil as a sacrifi
cial goat and sending it forth into the
wilderness of disapproval. .
"If any good can come out of the
fantastic procedure at Washington
last week, it will be the final elimina
tion of the last pretense that union
between the progressive and repub
lican parties is possible." ' '
And the progressive Chicago Even
ing Post comes to a similar conclu
sion: '. ,
"The republican national committee
has not had the courage to muddy the
waters sufficiently to endanger the
progressive movement in this coun
try. , , . . .:,
"At any rate, tie net result of the
long-heralded conference is to. make
it much more probable than it ever
has been; that the republican 'party
is to place its hopes for future ex
istence upon its establishment as a
reactionary or conservative party.
"We are sorry for this result for
The new plan of representation it s
calls "only a sop," under which there J
will still be flagrant inequality of j
representative power. , But "the chief j
grievance republicans interested in re- J
storing an adequate measure of popu
lar rule within the party have
against the commitee is, we gather
from The Tribune, the closing of tie
door "against a free and full discus
sion of all reorganization plaits." So
that "instead of allaying the popular
suspicion that the committee already
wields an excessive influence in party
affairs, the reform from the top
which it is now going to engage in
will only aggravate the distrust of
those who have become dissatisfied
with the national organisation's man
agement" -
