is possible to make without crossing the dividing line between the semi-Socialism of the Progressive party and the actual Socialism of the Socialist party. And yet, here in Milwaukee, with Henry Cochems, Gov. McGovern, and Apostle Bloodgood Progressives after Roosevelt's own heart, influential in the national councils of the party and locally resident and resplendent, the height of the Progressive party's ambition is to get one place on a fusion county ticket with four places to the Democrats and three places to the Republicans. It wants one office now, but it may yet be satisfied with the promise of a deputyship. From the sublime to the ridiculous has proven a short journey.
