THE TRUE PROGRESSIVES”
NOMINATE . . .
The ‘True Progressives” are in the field
with a vandidate for governor. While it is
unlikely that they will create any such
stir a did Julius Meier in the campaign
of four years ago, since they have nothing
like the financial backing that he had and
do not have the advantage of a tremen­
dous popular resentment aganst machine
politic that he enjoyed, it is probable that |
they will poll a considerable vote. Men
who are >ut of work and without income,
and nu r who have to toil arduously and
get lilt) or nothing for it are prone to
discon * nt—and the True Progressives are 1
certain to capitalize upon discontent for
all it is worth.
A handicap in the independent campaign
will 1 ■ the lack of a leader of wide appeal.
The li< i . Mahoney, had he received the
democratic nomination, would have com­
manded so many disaffected republican
votes that his election would have been a
grave 'km'er—danger because his record '
as plain i ¡agogue gave every indication
of unfitness for the responsibilities of the
governorship. Holman, clever and capable,
would have been a republican luring many
democratic votes, but his progressivism
like Meier’s might have melted away when
he no longer had personal occasion to use
it. Sam Brown, credited with being the
most sincere of the progressive element
and hence a leader who might command
confidence is of course out of the race be­
cause of elimination in the primary cam­
paign.
Zimmerman, the standard bearer, has
achieved some distinction as a state sena­
tor who generally opposed whatever the
majority of his colleagues favored. He won
the applause of many of his constituents,
but like many another radical has little
of constructive effort to his credit. He
lacks the magnetism of Mahoney, the
ability of Holman and the unquestioned
integrity of Brown.
Whatever the handicaps, under present
conditions any demagogue who knows how
to appeal to his public and any sincere but
misguided politician whose judgment has
•n warped by popular prejudices can
