Is your tax money being squandered?
The County Commissioners accepted an-
other new bridge last week. What did it
cost: does anybody know?
Mr. Taxpayer, isn't it about time yeu
were waking up? With the county over
$300,000 in debt, don't you think you
ought to demand your rights and know
what is becoming of your tax money?
Who Arc The Republican Leaders.
Considerable newspaper attention has
been given during the last week to a meet-
ing of so-called "Republioan leaders in
Chicago, the advertised purpose of which
was to bring about, if possible, a union of
the Progressive Party with the Republican
Party.
Who are these new Republican leaders?
They are Senators Albert B. Cummins and
W. S. Kenyon. of Iowa. William E. Borah, of
Idaho, and A. J. Gronna of North Dakota,
and former Governor Hadley. of Missouri.
Thi$ is the first appearance of all these men
in the role of "National leaders of the Rep-
ublican Party. Each of them has attained
prominence in Republican leadership in his
own State but none has heretofore professed
to play an important part in national Rep-
ublican leadership."
What evidence is there that the Republican
Party is ready in any respect to give heed
to the leadership of any of these men? On
the old rule of judging the future by the
past, the evidence is that the Republican
Party has no interest in the doings of these
"leaders'" and will pay no attention to their
"leadership"'
All five of them were either personally in
attendance in Chicago last June or were
represented there. Mr. Hadley was the
floor leader of the Roosevelt forces in that
convention and Mr. Borah was an advocate
of the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt. Mr-
Kenyon was there in the interests of the
nomination of Mr. Cummins and Mr. Gron-
na was there as a supporter of Senator La-
Follette. All of them were then opposed to
the "national leadership" of th« Republican
Party represented in Chicago by Bill Barnes
and Elihu Root, of New York; Penrose, of
Pennsylvania: Crane, of Massachusetts:
Dave Mulvane, of Kansas: Tom Devine and
Archie Stevenson, of Colorado; Ralph Wil-
liams, of Oregon, and the reit of that un-
savory group.
The national leadership of the republican
Party has not changed in personnel or in
character sinc« that convention. Nothing
has occurred to enhance the standing, the
influence or the authority of these new
"leaders in the Republican Party." For
reasons of their own, they have chosen to
remain in a party whose leadership and
whose aciicns they have opposed and «!e-
nounc«d. One of then) Mr. Hadley, has
explained that he choso to remain regular
"for reasons of expediency which might
not apply outside of Missouri
Why are these men suddenly called "Re-
last that the real leaders of the Republican
party were going up and down through the
line breathing fire and slaughter and read-
ing them everlastingly out of the party.
And it was only last year that the Republi-
can party officially and publicly rebuffed
and discredited them. Nothing save then-
own claim now gives title to these gentle-
men to assert Republican leadership. There
is no pretense of other authority in their
proposition. It has and it pleads but one
justification—that of their own dire neces-
sity. Their personal situation, because of
their refusal to take the open, honest
course, has become desperate and they ur-
gently need relief. They could have got
relief last year and they can still get it, but
there is only one way to get it twd that is
by joining the Progressive party, and not.
as they propose, by having the Progres-
sives join the Republican party and sur-
render the incalculable advance that has
baen won by a year's effort.
The reforms these gentlemen now pro-
pose for adoption by the Republican party
are not new. They themselves have pro-
posed the same reforms before and the Re-
publican leaders to whom the proposition
was submitted scornfully rejected them.
What evidence or hope is there now that
the Republican leaders of to-day, who are
the identical individuals who before re-
buffed these gentlemen, will now admit
their error and reform?
When these gentlemen were rebuffed
previously, men who believed with them
turned to the leadership that has since
crystallized into the Progressive Party.
Under that leadership, every one of the re-
forms that they then proposed has been
adopted and is now a part of the Progres-
sive party law. But these men who had
the opportunity to strike a telling, effectual
blow in behalf of the reforms in which they
professed to believe, hung back, hindering
rather than helping the work, and now they
have the iron effrontery to ask the Progres-
sive party to abandon the reforms actually
accomplished and turn backward and help
them in a renewed effort to enforce these
same reforms upon the unwilling Republi-
can leaders who have already refused
them. They ask the Progressives to give
up achieved success in order to undertake
a movement which experience has already
proved to be hopeless. What nonsense
can exceed that?
These gentlemen met in Chicago on their
own invitation, by their own authority, and
they represent themselves and nobody else.
Their invitation to the Progressives to come
backwaru into the party which they de-
nounced last year and which, in turn, de-
nounced them, is not supported by the
public word or act of any recognized Re-
publican leader. So far as the real Re-
publican leaders have commented upon the
proposition*, they have decried and dis-
avowed it It is obvious that the Republi-
can party is not in sympathy with and
does not endorse the conference of these
self-appointed "leaders" or its action.
So far as the Progressives are concerned,
there has never for a moment been anv
possibility or a fasorable response to such
an invitation. The, Progressive Party was
formed last year upon a definite declara-
tion of concrete principles to which the
Republican party is unalterably opposed.
The Progressives have never had and have
not now the slightest intention of abandon-
ing those principles. The Republican lead-
ership. permanently reactionary, has not
the slightest intention of subscribing to
them. The union or the two parties is an
idle dream. It is a waste of time and en-
ergy to give it consideration.
