"In Wisconsin, where a full ticket lias been presented,' 'he said, "It J a walk over for the progress e asso ciation tickets, the democrats having lost their standing ns a legal party." In Nebrnska the composite ticket consist, of a progres.lv for congress and lieutenant governor,, a progres sive democrat for governor and a pro gressive republican for the senate, he said. "In Deluware," he continued, "Isith tlie republicans and the democrat, are thoroughly disorganized by reason of the obnoxious tax legislation recently .
