was normal. Aside from the cases in
the vicinity of New York City there
was no specific evidence that the
transmission of the disease could he
traced bae-k to the metropolis. ' ' "
The exact figures from thirty-eight
states showed 11,17 cases not con
lined to cities by any means. Many
were repnrted on farms. Kcw sug
gestions were offered regarding the

WASIIINCiTON, Aug. 17. - How the
republican pa rl y looks to the aver
age progressive is voiced by llain
brid'je Colby id' New York, who plac
ed I'ooM'vdt in nominal ion at the
progressive convention :
"There they all are," says Colby in
a letter ;t Vance McCormick, man
ager of Wilson's campaign. ''The
old 'Minnl! See for yourself. Count
them, if you wish. Cannon and Pen
rose. Smoot and (lallinger, Jim Wat
son, Joe Kealing, Kstuhrook, Itoden
herg. McKinley of Illinois, lleil, Ale-
draw, Hemenway, Crane not to
speak d' the others, too numerous to
mention all 'friends of the tariff
and 'among those fit to govern.'
Monitors of Privilege.
''Wluit business a progressive has
in such company as this 1 cannot for
the life of me sec. They are the
pickets and monitors of privilege.
Hughes is only their decoy and re
triever. If he were elected they
would rope him and tic him. as they
did when he was governor in Albany,
i educing bun to plaintive futility.
''There are, of course, reactionary
elements in the democratic parly. Cn
til lately we had them even in the pro
gressive party. Hut these elements
in the deuiucratie party an at tlx
worst only a retardation and drag
-upon Ihe .teady,i forward push whirl)
Ihe president has mniufniiied. In the
republican party the reaelionarics arc
in the ascendant. They dominate (he
party, giving to it their character and
features. 1 is the parly of rea. lion,
:ind the progressives who have allied
themselves with il arc the most, mi for
tunate of dupes.
''I nm rejoiced to know, and to be
able lo assure yon, that (lie president
will receive an immense support from
tin members of my parly. They rec
ognize the simple courage, the ruuged
fortitude and the ipiiel strength whicl
have enabled him to guide his conn
tryincti in peace and honor through
the dangers of the last two vears.
They admire him. They are grateful
to him. And, as Americans, (hey arc
impatient to manile-i their loyally to

In Mr. Colby's letter, Colonel
Hooscvclt is mil mentioned by name
but the reference is clear when In
says :
"Opposition to the pre-idciit's re
election proceeds from an unrceiier
ale republicanism that has weathered
the danger of reform, absorbed its
ntosj vociferous critic and abandoned
itself avain to rancid reaction,"
Mr. Colby is oi f ;i eoiiimiltce of
