I • 1 __ WIiere They Win Party Pros pects Are Bright. A GLANCE OVER THE FIELD. New York Objects to Being Murphy- jjed«_|nsupgents In the Nation Have Ten Candidates For Senator, Ten For Governor and Fifty For Repre sentative—Not Bad For Their First General Cannpaign! ' By JAMES A. EDGER.TON, This fairs election is for thirty senators, all members of the lower house of congress and governors in nearly all of the states. It is especially important to the progressives because the control of congress is at stake. The follow ing progressive candidates for United States senator have been placed in the lield by Republican state primaries or convent ions: Beveridge of Indiana, Townsend of Michigan, La Follette of ■Wisconsin, Gronna of North Dakota aud I’oindexter of Washington. Clapp of Minnesota will probably be fidded to the list. In addition. Spalding of California. Burkett of Nebraska and Stokt's of New Jersey niay at least be classed as progressive in spots. If the rvepiiblicans carrj’ New York it is probable that a progressive, possibly Roosevelt himself, will go to the sen ate iu place of Depew. The ])rogressives have won out in fAe primaries or in convention and Jiave Titimod their candidates for gov ernor in New Hampshire. New York. Michigan, Wisconsin. Kansas. Coloni- do and California. The candidates in South Dakota, Nebraska and one or two other states are regarded as at least mildly progressive. The entire insurgent membership of the house, thirty or more, were re nominated, with the exception of Fowler of New Jersey and Hinshaw of Nebraska, who were retired, and Townsend, Gronna and Poindexter, who were advanced to the senate. Progressives were uamed in the places of all these, except Fow'ler, and to balance his loss George L. Record, the leader of the **new idea” men in the state, was nominated in another dis trict. Not only have the progressives held their own, but they have gained the following nominees for congress: Two in California, one in Oregon, one in Washington, one in Idaho, one in Min nesota, one in Colorado, four in Kan sas. three iu Illinois, one in Wisconsin, one in ^lichigan. one in Ohio and one in New York. A number^ of regulars have experienced a change of heart, have been convinced by the rising tide, or have been instructed by their constituencies and have declared for progressive principles, notably in South Dakota, Kansas and New Y”ork. Thus it is seen that the progressives have from six to ten senators to tight for, from seven to ten governors and fifty or more congressmen. Inasmuch as this is the first campaign in which they have taken a hand nationally, that Is not such a bad showing. It begins to look as though the insur gent tail would wag the stand pat dog. As to the election in November, there be prophets and prophets, but I am not one of them. Yet a glance over the field will i)erchance not be amiss. Four elections have already been held, and all have contained, some sig nificance for progressives. The^ over turning in Maine was not a little due to insurgency and was a warning to standpatters everywhere. The same ■Was true of the slump in Vermont. In Georgia the progressive Democrats first nominated and then elected Hoke Smith governor and retired two Can non Democratic congressmen. In Ar kansas direct legislation won. From the remaining forty-two states ^e can eliminate those in the south that are certainly Democratic. Ten nessee presents a battleground. There the independent Democrats have in dorsed the Republican candidate for 'governor and stand a chance of win- ‘Hing. The regular Democrats have '.nominated Senator Robert L. Taylor ,CONG R ESS';,, J lii The Political Issue in North Carolina Should Taylor win there will be two senators to elect from Tennessee. New York Democrats are not so sure of victory as they were before Roose velt won the Republican state conven tion and Boss Murphy and the inter ests ran their own. The progressive Democrats and the deceni elements of all parties are in revolt against Tam- manyizing the state. With a whirl wind campaign by the colonel there is a fair prospect of Republican victory. That will mean a progressive gov- ernprt*, ser^’al progressive members of congress and doubtless a progressive United States senator. In New Jerey there was for a time talk that many of the “new idea” men would vote for Woodrow Wilson for governor. Wilson talks about curbing the New Jersey trusts and says the w'hole country is going insurgent. On the other hand, there is a suspicion that never has been removed of a sin ister origin of the Wilson boom. The men w'ho are behind his candidacy are too close to the special interests. As to progressive Republicans voting for W”ilson, George L. Record ad vies them not to do so and has accepted Wilson’s challenge to a joint debate. The New England situation is mixed. Massachusetts is in revolt against Sen ator Lodge and may even go Demo cratic. Connecticut is also doubtful ground, with a determined fight against. Senator Bulkeley both inside and out side the Republican party. In Rhode Island there seems little hope that any Dne other than a representative of the interests will succeed Aldrich. But, then, almost any one will be an im provement. The one ’ongiiT^gpot in“New England is New Hampshire, where Bass, the progressive candidate for governor, is certain of election. • Maryland and Delaware will be bat tlegrounds, but hold little interest for progressives. In Pennsylvania a portion of the in dependent Democrats and Republicans have formed the Keystone party and are running former State Treasurer Berry for governor. An independent Republican candiduiij^ls also running against John DalzeJ^, Outside of two or three candidates for congress Ohio presents little at traction for real progressives. One party is as reactionary as the other. Among the well informed there is a general agreement that Harmon will be re-elected governor and that this will be done by Republicans as a re buke to the standpatters and bosses. Just over the border in Indiana Al bert J. Beveridge is making one of the gamest fights in the nation. Though the Democrats now hold the state and he thus has immense odds against him. he has the courage to at tack the reactionary elements in his own party and to denounce the Payne- Aldrlch tariff in every speech. Kern, too, is an able campaigner, but has the handicap of Taggartism. . Illinois, the one time home of I.in- coln, but now the state of Lorimer and Cannon, owes it to herself and her great past to get out of the dark ness. She has made a small start in that direction by naming three pro gressives for congress. \\. L- Cun- diff, a progressive Democrat, is mak ing the fight against Cannon in the Comity 'Govemmrat>.

We now get fairly into progressive territory, and it is significant that in most of these insurgent states the Republican prospects are as good as ever before. There is no question as to how Wisconsin, Michigan, Minne sota, Iowa and Kansas will go. They will go Republican because they have already gone progressive. The same is measurably true of the Dakotas. Idaho and the Pacific coast states. Colomdo Is at least pjii»tlaHy progrix'*^. sive and is at least partially doubtful. The same is true of Nebraska. Hitch cock is making a hard fight against Burkett for senator. Bryan’s bolt of Dahlman may help to land the Repub lican candidate for governor, and there is hope that Norris and the other pro gressives may win out for congress. Utah will probably go Republican despite Smoot’s record, but there is an element of doubt in Wyoming. There the insurgents and Democrats have joined forces and named a progressive Republican for governor. The progressive movement has scarcely touched Missouri, Montana and Nevada, and they are all frankly debatable in the election. The upshot of the whole matter is this: Where the progressives have won In the primaries they will make substantial gains in congress, and there the Republican vote will hold its own; where the progressives have not won in the primaries the Democrats ■will make substantial gains in the election. As for standpatism, the in dications now are that it will prac tically be wiped off the political map. Boarding Houses. WHITMIRE COTTAGE CHEKRYFIELD, N. C.
