tial progress has been made in caucus
reform. The program includes
speeches by men Of national reputa-
tion In both political parties, as well as
reports by practical men as to the
working OF the various laws now gov
ernipg primary elections. The move
ment has attracted unusual attention,
from the fact that its promoters are
men who lend their names haphazard
to every so-called reform movement
that springs up. Among those who
have taken an active interest in the
conference being Secretary Gage,
Mayor Jewett, Of Buffalo, President
Harper, Of the University Of Chicago;
T. ). Mcclure, secretary brotherhood
