(Copmrigt, 1012, by George Ada) i | Baltimore, June 26, Vance Jimmison, Antioch, Ind, MY DEAR VANCE: What has already happened here proves one thing. | Wrery voter in the U. 8. A. must be either a Progressive or @ Conservative | or else go out of business. In these conventions there haven't | really been any old-fashioned Repub-| licans and Democrats. Out of the 2,150 delegates all told there have been about 1,000 genuine Progressives and about 1,150 who are not quite re-! spectable. Some of the 1,150 have! glimmering conceptions of the differ- ence between right and wrong, but they have been tainted by association with the bosses. Their hearts don't beat true or they would have turned down both Root and Parker, who will continue to be under suspicion as long as they Iive in York State. Last week in Chicago and this week in Baltimore I have been look- ing over the variegated specimens and trying to find out the real differ. ence between a Progressive and a Re- actionary. I know I will have to be one or the other. Before I label my- self I want to size up my future associates and make sure that I will not feet lonesome or embarrassed as I march along with them, Before I rivet myself to the coat- tails of any intrepid leader of the new cause and begin to cleave the at- mosphere I want to get at least a rough outline of the itinerary. It ts all mighty confusing to a politician brought up in the old school. When he hears William Jennings Bryan cheered in a Republican convention and three days later sees Mr. Bryan stand before the BONA FIDE delegates of @ Democratic convention and tell them they are mere puppets being worked ‘W Ryan and Belmont, {t simply proves that we are up against ao dissy set of @onditions. ALL WANT W. J.’S BRAND OF “PROGRESSIVE.” ‘The Democrats here say they are Progressive. Tom Taggart is a dandy Uttle Progressive. Roger Sullivan and’ Norman Mack and Charley Murphy are so all-filred Progressive that they are willing to accept any platform that ‘will get the votes. The majority in control is ready to Me down and have ‘William J. tattoo the word “Progressives” on any part of the anatomy that Will show. Mr. Bryan continues writing a piece for the papers every day saying thaq they are not Progressives at all. Some are spies for the enemy and otherg are weak imitations of the real thing. Is it possible that a genuine Republican Progressive is one who swears ty T. R., while a Democratic Progressive is one who looks to W. J. for his instructions? If so, how can the two ever get together while both of the Colonels are alive? I heard one man from Evansville suggest that the entire smear of ultra Progressives should get together this year and support Theo- dore, with the understanding that William J. was to have the nomination in| six years by striking out the word “six” 1916, Then in 1920 they would go for Theodore again. Bryan's turn, Roosevelt in 1928, Bryan in 1932, and #0 on. The same gentleman who outlined this sarcastic horoscope told me the Aifrerence between a Reactionary and a Progressive. He satd the Reactionary had been bought, while the Progressive was merely for sale, I submit this | ae the scandalous viewpoint of a low-minded partisan. You tako a delegate standing out on a corner waiting for a car and you can't tell by his personal appearance or the metallic ornaments worn in front | whether he is a contemptible Reactionary or a pure-minded Progressive, Even | fm the convention hall, where they are all mixed up together, it is impossible to skin your eye along one of the rows and separate the sheep from the goats, OLD PREDATORY WEALTH AT BOTH SHOWS. | Yet we were told seventy-two times a day last week that the Ta gates were the submissive slaves of big business or the ck of corrupt bosses, W to find our old friend pulled off last week. As for cold-blooded bosses, we seem to be revolving around stellation of them here at Baltimo Only the Murph: combine, having rebuked the pugnacious leader of the Prog him that he is no longer the main squee him sleep in the same bed. You will know by the papers before you get this letter that the Democrats have bullt a platform wide enough and sufficiently pushed out on the corners to provide standing room for all Radicals, Progressives and frantic advocates of the plain people, When the members of the Resolutions Committee sent for Mr. Bryan this morning and told him to take charge of the platform and go as far as he liked, they certainly played wise politics, When he refused | to rub his wounds with any of their free arnica it proved that our old friend | from Nebraska isn't going to be squared and coneillated in a hurry, Imagine the case of a popular girl, accustomed to having a fuss made over her. She has her heart set on going to the opera and sitting ina box.

J. WILL SMILE ONCE MORE. Mr. Bryan craves more than the blessed right to tinker the platform. Let him name the candidate and I think we will have the sunny smile back on his ample features along about Friday evening. ‘As I started to say, the real business of any one attending the comyen- tions has been to find out the significance and the size of the revolt by the radicals in each party, Well, I allow that the Progressives are in ¢ think they are right and that they simply cannot be choked off or ke background. ‘All of to-day’s developments around t would indicate that from now on the so-called are going to be treated with exceeding kindness. There will be genuine effort to steal all of the Roosevelt thunder before {t can be turned loose from that promised convention in Chicago.
