"We - 1 want office,” says the republican, “and | we cannot get office without the aid . of the progressives.” The progres--1 sive replies: "Oust your standpat leaders, cast away your reactionary | and discredited platform and adopt in its place progressive principles and we will then meet with you." The re- * publicans refuse lo reform their plat- * form, neither will they oust their mus , chine leaders. Even the love feast for . which invitations have been sent out by Chairman Sims will not be attend:ed by any but known reactionaries. The love feast is for the purpose of booming Janies Ell Watson for United States senator —the James Eli of National Association ,of Manufacturers fame.
