. " Massachusetts Points th e ;
.
r
e Way.
The lines are ; pretty clearly
drawn in Massachusetts.
The progressive republicans in i
II" the Old Bay state have entered in-
to an open alliance with the.demo-
crats in this year's : campaign ,
h \ their purpose being to register "a
. vote of protest" against the. pres-
I - - ent management of the republi-
can party.
Two of the progressive repu bli-
can leaders , Mr. Foss and Mr.
, Shepard , have accepted places on
.
- the democratic ticket , as candi-
dates for lieutenant governor and
attorney general l respectively.
The democratic platform declares ,
among other things , for immediate
tariff reform , for the income tax ,
for the popular election of sena-
tors and for direct nominations.
The republican platform de-
clares the Aldrich tariff "the best
tariff law ever enacted , " unquali-
fied ly-- endorses the administration
of President Taft , endorses a
shipping subsidy , and is silent as
r to popular election of senators ,
direct nominations and the income
1" tax. An effort to have the con-
I vention declare in favor of the in-
come tax amendment was over- I
I
whelmingly defeated.
Why , with the issues thus I (
clearly presented , should not the : ! '
republicans act with the democrat ?
t
. Why should they not in l\e- |
braska ?
Progressive republicans stand
with the democrats , in Nebraska
as in Massachusetts , in opposing
a central bank of issue , in oppos-
Aldrich and Aldrichism and Can-
' : non and Cannonism , in favoring
and income tax and the popular
election of senators , in favoring
genuine tariff ; reform and in op-
posing a ship subsidy.
I As to all these issues their ' own
party , the' republican party , as at
present led and controlled , is op-
posed to them.
Why. then should they not
act with the democrats , who be-
lieve as they believe , rather than
cast their votes to' endorse and
I
commend a party leadership to
which they are eternally opposed ? t :
The Indianapolis News , one of I' .
the greatest progressive republi-
]
can papers of the country , com
menting on the Massachusetts 1
! situation makes these significant
\ remarks. We commend them to i
the honest republicans of Ne-
braska :
It-appears that . the fooling against the
tariff and those who made it is so strong
if not actually hitter - that a good maii rc- I
.
publicans are ready to co-operate with the I
democrats in an effort to overthrow the re -
publican party Massachusetts. : . The ac-
tion of the democratic convention , there
.
fore , may possibly taken as the beginning I
of n n'volutIon.ran : will interpret it in
that way. If Foss and Shepard take ] this
positive and radical stand , what may not
other men do : It is known I that they do
not represent simply themselves and their
I own views. On the l'ontrUltheir views
are the views of thousands of republicans in
Massachusetts. : For one man who will
come out into the open there ! are likely to i
be a dozen or a score of men who will lon-
tent themselves with registering a quiet
protest by their vote.
We do not wonder that politicians at
Washington are asking themselves "if what I
'
has taken place ' in ' Massachusetts is to take I .
place in other states. " There is no telling. .
All that can , be said - andtthis" the people
.
understand pefectly well - Is that there Is
.
more community of interest between In -
dividual republicans and individual demo
crats than there is between low tariff re-
publicans and the men-now : , in control of
the republican party. We look , to see the
\ insurgent movement grow : stronger . rather t
than weaker.
Those who believe that "the
solidity of the republican party"
/ is more important for the country
than the enacting of good laws
and the defeating of bad laws , ]
will look with abhorrence on the 1
h
stand taken by the progressive j
\
' \ republicans' \ .
: Senator Aldrich will condemn it.
! Senator Penrose will hold up his
"
hands in horror. Joe Cannon
) will blaspheme. Mr. : Taft will
call them deserters and Senator
Burkett will brand them as "reb-
els" ] and "squawkers. " Our own
Victor Rosewater will sneer and
Chairman Hayward will throw
f another Barbara Erietchie lit. ! 1
' But these eminent gentlemen do
r , not speak for all the republicans ,
however firm may be their grip on I
the party machine. I' I
There are a good many republi-
cans outside of Massachusetts , we I

who look with .frank alarm and '

I their , party is headed and who
. will endeavor , by a quiet vote of
protest next month , to call it back
to ways of decency and honor.-
