The . principal address of the evening was delivered by Chairman : Cummings. He said : . . 1 - : ln Oregon, perhaps as acutely as In any other part, of the country, there de : veloped in 1912 a progressive movement. This; progressive movement grew out ot a belief that the Republican party, which ' JIM juug uvimiwi m ukufia,. - fairs, had failed In its duty to the peo ple. That belief became impressed In an Increasingly ; acute way : ipon ' the minds of the people until there came to be in the Republican party a sentiment sufficiently strong to justify an open i i . ... j lUKK upon did meuiuan. ;, ,. . i "I am not going to review- the history . that is familiar to you all, but you do -rrfeall that In 1912 the Progressive party was formed, and it was formed largely - because those forward looking people in the - Republican party who ! founded It were unable longer to endure the doral - nance of the reactionary; element in their own party. What astonishes me now, ; la the fact that, a great many men who were keen and eager back -In the days of '1912 for progressive doctrine, are find : lnar their way. more er lu i tentar Imlv. bade into the ranks of tne Republican-! . party. Many, of them took their 'pro . - gressiveism more seriously, and. adhered brok up they j found ; their place ' nat urally In the Democratic- party.-';-Now. that alignment . is not yet complete, '.There are many people still in Serious - doubt as to their political home. ;. OLD GUARD ABKAIOITED ' . 4 "I was reading a few day since,-the platform of : ths Proarresslvaj oartv that -was adopted in 1912. It was adopted at Chicago on the seventh of August, 1912. , and as J look through the. document, I find very many interesting; things In It. For Inntinnc. th. framtn nf thU Awii. : went arraigned tho old parties, using this language: Polltlcal parties exist to secure responsible . government and to execute J the will of tlfe people. The deliberate betrayal of. its trust by the Republican party, the fatal Incapacity of the Democratic .. party to deal with the new Issue of : te hew thne. have .compelled the people to' forge a new In- . strument of government through which to give effect to their will in laws and institutions.' . - i - - - . "These very , earnest me and women who assembled at Chicago in 1912 and promulgated , this Instrument in that : . solemni language, arraigned the two ex isting political parties and I presume that no language was ever employed on the public stump in America more' vig- ;: orous than that which was employed by the leaders of the Progressive party in the campaign of-1912. and I now refer -to their presidential and vice presidential candidates.' In a denunciation of the re4 actionary forces 4 which controlled the Republican party, of the Impossibility of expecting any measure of public relief ..from that organisation. The leaders of the-Progressive party. 1 ts candidates in 1912, were active, vigorous, aggressive. ; eloquent, American ' citizens, 1 and" they spared neither the dictionary" nor their iormer political associates In making clear wha'they had in mind. - . HEFrBlrCAlfS TJ5 CHANGED "New that little reference to political history brings me back again to the quotation which I have read, which was the formal statement of the progressive belief that the Republican party had betrayed its trust -and, that the Demo- w""i ifv ma a iatat incapacity to manage the ' affairs of the country. r I assent to the truth of the assertion that the Republican party had betrayed Its trusts 1 se no' reason to oubt the accuracy of that statement and I 'see no reason why. anyone who entertained that view should revise it. , f I ; see no reason growing .out of any act5 of the .. RepubUean party since 1912 that would . lead any fair minded or logical person -to erase this terrific Indictment. X chal lenge any former' Progressive, 'who Is now associated with or thinking of as sociating with the Republican party, to . point out what differences there is be tween the 'Republican leadership of 191 and the Republican leadership of 1913; and no "Progressive has: a, right "t go back into the Republican' party without either apologising to the leaders of the Republican party in 1912 for mischarac , terising that leadership V or admitting that he has ceased to be - a ' progressive and has noitf hmMM . ; When wo -come -to a consideration of the arraignment of the DemocraUo party platform- of 1912, adopted by the Pro . gressive party. I beg leave to submit that the assertion that the Democratic party showed a fatal Incapacity has ; t been disproved and abundantly dls- proved by events. ; Of course, it was an unfair characterisation, in the first place, because tho Democratic" party had ; not had any opportunity to show what it ; could dot ia the management of public : affairs, and you. cannot ' very properly characterise a person for Incapacity of management unless he has had ait . oppor tunity, at least, to attempt to manage. "These very ; earnest gentlemen who cranea uus oocument went on and- told what they wanted. They called it a "Covenant with the People," and. . pet BYBRUC mm forth their -principles .and pointed out their proposed reforms: They used this solemn language : ' This - declaration is our covenant with the people, and we hereby bind the party and Its candidates in state and nation to the pledges, made herein. All through that campaign you beard ) about the covenant ' which they had made with the people, and this docu ment itself is headed 'Covenant with the Peopled Now -what was it that these earnest gentlemen desired. FBOGBESSIYE PKOORAX , ' ' 'Glancing " hastily through this ' very Interesting document, and touching, - for lack of time, only 'the high spots,' ! find that, they asked .for the direct election of United States senators, by the people; they desired national legislation -looking to the prevention of industrial accidents, occupational disease, : overwork. ' . in voluntary unemployment, and so forth. There is also a, . 'specific plank in favor " of prohibition. . of i child labor, and a declaration in . regard to the eight-hour dayi . There is a provi sion in regard to the business of Amer ica,, suggesting" a commission to enforce the complete publicity of those corporf ate transactions which are of public in terest ; such a commission must attack unfair competition, false capitalization and special-privilege and by continuous trained watchfulness guard- and keep open equally to air the highways of American commerce.' .' Further, in this document, they ; said i ; .' - ' ; -A' "We demand tariff revision because the present tariff is unjust to ' the -people of. the United States. We condemn the Payne-Aldrick bill as unjust tor. the people. The Republican organisation is in- the hands of those who have: broken, and cannot again be trusted to keen, the promise of necessary downward revision. We pledge , ourselves ; to ; the estabUsh meht of a ,, non-partisan, scientific tariff commission.' t They; also said : i . . '"We believe there' exists Imperative need for. prompt legislation for the im provement of our national, currency system.-We believe the present method of Issuing notes through . private agencies is harmful and unscientific. The Issue of currency Is fundamentally a govern ment function and the system should have as basic principles soundness and elasticity: The control should be lodged with the, government and should be protected from domination or manipu lation by Walt street or any special in terests. We are opposed to the u so called Aldrich . Currency bill, because the provisions would place our currency and credit System in private hands, not subject ' to effective public i control There,, again, was a plank dealing in general terms with a very Interesting question. For years the Republican party bad been' implored to revise the currency system of this country. Panics In America were -constantly, recurring phenomena. They seemed to appear at such regularly stated intervals that Re publican, orators Implored the people to believe it was an act of Divine Provi dence, , rather . than any incapacity upon their own part. . - ACTIOS LEFT TO WILSON The great thing about President Wil son.: and the great thing about.' the .Democratic party, baa been thatswhile other people have gone up and down the country-pointing out the inequities of our currency system, while other leaders have. gone all over the United States, declaiming with fervid eloquence against existing wrongs, it has remained for the Democratic party to remedy the wrong. And the Democratic party, under the leadership, again, of President : Wil son, and with the support of splendid Democrats in the house and in the sen ate. ' against tremendous . opposition, passed the federal reserve act. We had against us Senator Dodge. - We - had against ua Senator, Weeks. We had against us . Senator Penrose. We bad against us Senator. Smoot and all the great banking interests of this country. Now, the great thing about' this achieve ment was that it came, in the -very : nick of time. - Upon that-basts we have er ected the greatest and soundest. Indus trial structure that ever existed in Amer ica. When, any mm talks about the incapacity of the Democratic party to understand business or to understand currency, point out to him the federal reserve : system, how . it was .passed, against what opposition it was enacted, and what beneficent ' results have' fol lowed - the enactment "of that act.- H ' , "I turn to another plank: We pledge our party to legislation that will compel strict limitation of all campaign ' con trtbullons and expenditures, and detailed publicity of both before as well as after primaries and elections. .--. - "Another plank: We pledge-our party to establish a department of labor, with a seat in the cabinet. They asked for good ' roads and the ' extension ' of the rural free delivery service. AU of these measures the Progressives asked f or are today part of the statute law 'of America. Their hopes have actually .been realized through the --agency of the Democratic party.--.-"?-; ... STKtTE POB -WOBLD FZAC& ?. s . "There was another Progressive plank that I cannot refrain from reading to you. Now,' remember this is 1912: .The Progressive party deplores the survival in our -civilisation xf tho barbaric sys tem of warfare among-nations with its enormous waste -Of:: resources, even in tiros of . peace, and vtho consequent im-i poverishment of the-Hfe of the toiling masses. - We pledge the party to use its best endeavors to substitute judicial and other' peaceful means of- settling inter national differences.? This plank in the platform of the Progressive party asks us to, do the very thing that President Wilson is attempting to accomplish and his task . is nearly completed. , - ' ."More than that, the Democratic plat form of 1916 contained a specific plank to behalf, of. an agreement among the nations of the earth for the .purpose of securing ,the peace of the world, and even the poor old Republican party, in the .- platform of, 1918. upon ; which Mr. Hughes ran for president, has a plank asking for a , world - court t to secure world peace..
