Poblished Co. Press. Publishing of. United The Star Member Daily by Arrived Nov. 8--The New Party While we have been celmly apeculating about the possibility of the thing, the thing has actually happened, The new party—the Party of Progressive Ideas—arrived November 8, 1910. Nobedy made nor ev planned it. It just made Itself, evolved out of the situation to meet the necessities of the time This new party is strong In both house and senate, has great leaders in each, and very possibly a working majority at one if not both ends of the capitol Now that the new party has formed itself and got itself elect- ed without even saying “by your leave” to anybody, it only re maina to call it together, map out its policy, and choose a steering committee to carry ita will into effect This new party, composed partly of democrats and partly of republicans, is characterized by one quality poasessed in common by all {ts members. It fs liberal rather than conservative, It does not want to stand pat, but to go ahead, Coming down to particulars, this party unanimously favors im mediate downward tariff revision. It is in favor of conserving natural resources, while at the same time putting them to the highest use for the equal benefit of all. In dealing with ratlroads and trusts, it proposes to put the man above the dollar, even if the dollar gets its fingers pinched and makes a dismal howl. In state affairs the new party favors more power for the people in the form of direct nominations and direct legislation. Seriously, this thing is a reality, if the men elected to office on November § by progressive voters mean what they said and have the courage to stand by it. If they will drop thelr party labels, as the voters did, come together in one body, and stand together on all matters of legis lation, then {it will be true not only that the new party is here, but that the new party is in power, But have we reached the time when men think more of the good of the republic than of party aggrandizement? Are the democrats ready to forget 1912, and the possibility of rich pick- ings for their followers? Are insurgent republicans ready to efface their party and work simply for the public good? If these questions could be answered affirmatively the new party would be ready for business at the next presidential elec tion. It would have a record and a candidate. It would sweep the field and bring in a new era of American history, Gifford and Amos The Pinchot letter to the president containing the latest at- tack on the Cunningham claims is noteworthy chiefly for the way in which It ia signed © “Gifford Pinchot. “Amos Pinchot.” Like the signers of the Declaration of Independence, these two brothers have “dedicated their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor” to the republic They have youth, brains, money, education and the Influence of high social position, There are many possessing these qualities who have no sincere interest in mankind The Pinchots are different.
