A KBl'UBLIOAN LEADER ON MR.
TAINT'S RECORD
Medill McCormick has written for
the February number of the Wo
man's World the following criticism
of tho Taft administration:
The editor of the Woman's World
has asked me to present to his read
ers the case of the progressive re
publicans against President Taft and
the other standpatters in the trial of
strength which is going on before
tho country, because he believes as
I do that the women as well as the
men of the United States form an
integral part of the national jury
which will decide the case. In doing
so I offer for your consideration only
the great questions which have con
fronted the present administration.
Tho progressive republicans are
not engaged in a factional squabble.
They are enlisted in a great cause.
In tho langage of the resolutions of
meir conference in umcago uct. lb,
"The progressive movement is a
struggle to wrest the control of gov-
uiuuiouL m mtj nuuun una tne states
from the representatives of special
privilege and restore it to the people.
The issue is the same in all the states
of the union, though the problem
iuuy ue presented in uinerent ways."
Progressive republicans are op
posed to tho president's renomina-
UUll.
