: h':/it^d stfte^ Qi^na,
the Progressive fr6m Norths Dak
ota, has decided to stick with the
Republican organization: in his
state because he-says he was el^
cted as a Pepublican, and it would
not be right for him to abandon
the party now. :
Like Senator Works,* Oronna’s
sense of loyalty to the Kepublican
party is far greater than the rRe-
publican parvy’s sense of jlpyaity
lo the people. But it Will hot be
long until both Works and Gronna
may reconcile their party loyalty
to their sense of popular gover-
ment, for the end of the Republ
ican party is in sight. . it will
disappear as rapidly as did the
Whig party after the Republican
party was organized.
