Jul doubt It would go down to at least
es temporary defeat, but If it follows
and submits Itself to Roosevelt will
53 not the old-line leaders feel that they
no longer hay a party and act ac
cordlnaly? And then, as for the
awakened, progressive rank and file
ho are for Roosevelt, will they
take up enthusiastically with even
his choice?
It Is Indeed a muddled condition
of party affairs, but let it be
asked what It matters about the
party providing the Roosevelt re
forms are carried on and the peo-
lnto factions. As a result of It,
Kentucky rolled up a Republican ma
jority at Its election In November.
Dispatches from there every day tell
of the play of passion and demoral
ization of the legislature Incident to
the hold up. One says, "the limit of
politics has been played by both
Democrats and Republicans In an
effort to secure an advantage In the
race, and break the deadlock. Charges
and counter-charges are rife, and
while the senatorial struggle Is at
the boiling point, legislation Is at a
standstill." The words have the fa
miliar ring of old days In Oregon.

and a great many Republicans see
this and are demanding better serv
ice, chiefly along the line of the
Roosevelt policies. They want Juster
taxation, more equality of opportun

and more of the square deal. Hence,
they like Roosevelt, In the main, and
are not greatly concerned whether
he Is a Republican or, as is assert
ed, half a Democrat.

Republican sldo who had been all day
standing up and voting "no" whenever
an amendement coming from the Demo
