To Capture Party.
Anions those who are eo-oporuliue,
with the movement aro Uiffonl I'iu
ehot of l'ennsylvaiiia, Harold li kes,
liayiiioml Itobbins and Medill Mct'or
Diiek of Illinois', uiul James li. (Jar
field of Ohio.
The inirpose, frankly expressed, of
this i;ri.)up is to eapture the rcpub-
lieiin party or to iet kioked out of
the ropublioan party, openly and ie
noiiiinously.
"Vo don't niueh onro which,'' said
Chester Howell, "but wo want n show
down. The other crowd have had
their iiininpi; now it is our turn lo
(Jo to bat. If the other fellows don't
want to let ns have our swat at the
ball the sooner we know it the bettor
we can organize a nine of our own.'
Whiob means Hint the progressive
party will be reorganized if tlio
-tnml-piit erov.'d do not (live up. If
the progressive parly in reorganized
it will, as before, hold n veto power
over any kuooosk by the old (,'iinrd,
even thoiich it may be unable to win
fur itself.
Deiiuind Hcpnwenlntlon.
In order to foree I ho issue, the
progressives will demand Hint, the
six progressive who wore added lo
the executive eommitlee of ton to
make a oanipaitiii committee be re
turned lis a permanent "executive"
committee. In addition, it is propos
ed to make use of primaries in the
Western states, or in other states
wliioh have workable primaries, to
nominate progressive candidates for
eonercss: anil state offices, and lo
displace any but pronrcssivcH in the
organization of the party. Mr. Will
cox is expected to resign ami Messrs.
Murray Crime, Frank Hitchcock.
Ui'iirgu I'cl'kins, Tobc Hurl, ,lo Konl
iiiK, Jim Watson and the lest will be
nskod lo take mar seals or leave
the hall.
All oE which is reeojaiilioii of the
fact Hint there is a nrrnt independent
element nnione; tlio voters, even the
nominally ropublioan voters, which
will not bo delivered under parly la
bels to stand-pat candidates on reac
tionary platform-. Kt forts to deliver
this element to a lluphcs do nut suc
ceed. Tile parly and its of.-niii:'.iitiin
must ho made over if ii is to ictain
this vi. to. Such is Ihi' belief of this
yroup.
Many FriH' Lances,
Tlu'i'o is another wiim of I In- pro
