In a letter' to George W. Perkins of
New York, .; national chairman of the
Progressive parfy,' United States Sen-
ator Moses E Clapp of Minnesota, one
of -the prominent figures in the Pro
gressive party, illumines the national
political situation as viewed from his
party's standpoint. A copy of "Sen
ator . Cla-PP'e letter has been received
by T. B. Neunauen; state chairman
for the party in Oregon;.
Senator Clapp reviews the elections
of 1912 and 1314 and Indicates the
probable results of the election of
1916. His letter is as follows:
"Honorable George W. Perkins; New
York. Dear Mr. Perkins: Yours of
the 2d Instant is received, I was
never much of a believer in the idea
that men can shape great movements.
When Mr. Taft formed his coalition
active or quiescent, I never knew and
never cared which with the Aldrich
Cannon combination, it became very
"evident to me and I used to talk
with Beveridge, Dolliver and others
about it that unless he could be put
out of business and the country made
to feel that the Taf t-Cannon-AIdrich
crowd was not the party, 'the country
would promptly repudiate the party,
and in that event, the Democrats
would probably get into power, and
that there is always a psychological
danger of a business depression as
sociated with a Democratic revision.
"The mere fact that ther revise the
tariff from a standpoint of the tradi
tions hostile to protection, would pro
duce a business depression, while the
same schedules, enacted by the Repub
lican party. In its avowed attitude of
protection, would not produce a ripple.
That when this depression came, if it
did, the people failing to recognize
that, the standpatters were responsi
ble for It because if we could ever
have once broken Aldrich on the roll
: call, we could have given this country
a decent tariff, bill would turn to
the men who made the wheels go
around, and there would be a restora
tion to power of the old standpat ele
ment.
Expectations "Verified.
"This worked out Just as I had an
ticipated and what made the result
more disastrous was "the fact that we
polled an immense vote in 1912 of
men, many of whom have not yet
realized what the fight was over, but
who were ready to follow the Colonel
wherever he led, and " were the more
ready to lapse in a campaign where
he was not a candidate.
"While I cannot myself see any oc
casion for knocking in the heads of
ink barrels to record the election of
last fall as a Republican landslide,
when you realize that In the. midst of
a- great depression which ordinarily
would have taken the party in power
imply off the map, they gained three
senators and held a good working
majority in the house, still the stand
pat element affect to say and I am
inclined to think that without stop
ping to think they do feel that it
was a great triumph, and they are de
termined now to retrieve what they
lost in 1913.
"If the times should be hard two
years from now, as they were last
fall, they can elect the most reaction
ary man they can find, and if they
have none left sufficient for their pur
pose, they can dig one up from the
grave. This was seen In Pennsyl
vania. If ever a state had been thor
oughly aroused with a moral awaken
ing, it was Pennsylvania.
"Wilson Is formidable.
"On the other hand, if they get
through this trouble without getting
into. a war and have prosperity next
year, I believe no power on earth can
defeat Woodrow-' Wilson and his suc
cess would hasten the hour when the
Democratic party is destined to be
split wide open.
"It is made up of two irreconcilable.
...icongruous .forces, one standing for
progress and the other for reaction,
and is Just as certain to split under
the influence of continued power as
was the Republican party, and If the
Progressive partjr can hold together
as a nucleus, they will, in that event,
receive a large accession of strength.
"If they can hold together, they are
bound, sooner or later, to receive a
great accession of strength from the
- south. We could not expect that ac
cession in 1912. The psychology of
the situation was against it. The
Democratic party had been out of
power for a long- time. The Demo
crats of the south, saw in a division
between the Progressives and Repub-j
licans the opportunity for their vic
tory, r They, had to have it, and the
progressive element among them had
to learn that you can no more resur
' rect one old canker-eaten party than
SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, lifeless
, . locks and they become dark,
" glossy, youthful.
. . , , . . .
nair uwi ivses iia cgigr ana lustre,
.or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful.
and thousands of women- and men who
value that; even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so attract
ive, use only this Old-time recipe.
- Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
a (0 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sags and
Sulphur Compound," which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that no
body can possibly tell it has been ap
plied. Besides, it takes off dandruff,
stops scalp itching and falling hair.
You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears; but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is
that, besides beautifully darkening the
brings back the gloss and lustre and I
gives H an appearance of abundance. J
