Des Moines, Oct. 15-Western pro-
gressives are going to have a big con-
fab at ST. Paul the middle Of Novem-
Der. They will get together and plan for
the future 1t may be the beginning of
the movement for 1912.
Senator Cummins Will be one Of the
prominent speakers at a great BAN
quet TO be held. Other leaders Of co ual
standing may also be on hand. Bris-
two Beveridge, Dolliver, Norris, Muir
dock, Clapp, LaF'oAette and others
have been invited.
At first, according to advices from
Minnesota, the plan was merely to
have meeting OF the Minnesota pro-
gressive republicans to perfect their
lighting organization and to carry on
the work for the future. But the plan
has been broadened because there
seemed to be a general demand for
some sort of an organization that
would have authority to direct the
course of these republicans.
The very fattering invitation from
the president of the Hamilton Club.
Chicago, TO Senator Cummins, told
more between the lines than anything
recently. He was invited to open the
campaign.
The time is propitious," he wired
the need urgent. Please honor us and
aid us by your acceptance. You are
the one man we want and the people
want to hear. We guarantee you an
audience to the full capacity of the
largest hall to be had in the city
That is an invitation that could not
have been couched in such terms If di-
rected to any other person unless it
could have been Roosevelt. But later.
as if to show the earnestness of the
Hamilton Club in wanting Cummins
and no other the club offered TO post
pone the campaign opening to suit the
convenience of the Iowa senator.
Progressives here point out that
is peculiarly the place
where a big conference may we'll be
held. The situation there is badly
broken up and party lines are divided.
Ex-Governor John Lind. who was
nominated by the dem ocrats for gov
ernor and declined, is out on the stump
talking for Senator Moses Clapp for
reelection and denying he has any as
pirations for the place. Senator Clapp
is doing the work should endeavor to
do" he said the other day, "and he is
doing it better, I believe, than l
could. This is no time for swapping
horses. The duty of the hour and our
duty in this campaign is to stand
shoulder to shoulder, forget our parti-
sanship, forget our labels, and wrest
from the standpatters, state and ma
tional, the control Of the government"
Claude Porter will not speak in Des
Moiues during the state campaign. He
has been given dates for every day

Moines, and it is probable he will not
be asked to speak here All the reports

ings. The following are the new
