? 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 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

bade into the ranks of tne Republican-!
. party. Many, of them took their 'pro
. - gressiveism more seriously, and. adhered

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.. 'All the best thought of
the earth for years and years has been
looking for the time when peace' should
be secure, ..when wars wouML no longer
