l
i -
TOI'KKA, Kan., Jan. 5.—Senator j
Joseph L. Bristow, of this state, an-1
nouneed today that he has re-enlisted I
in the ranks of the Republican party
because the rank and file of the Pro
gressive party have rejoined the Re
publican party, and that only the Big
Bull Moose and a few intimate friends
now constitute the Moosers.
"The Republican party of today is
progressive,” says the Kansas sena
tor, "and the machine which former
ly controlled the party, has been de
stroyed, while the people are awake
to the power which they possess en
abling them to compel any political
organization to obey the dictates of
the people and not be subservient to |
the corporations.
“The Progressive party has ac-1
complished its purpose; no longer;
will the party be controlled by office
holders of the southern states and
the will of the people will prevail.”
