dred square miles, supporting a popu.
lation more dense than any other part
OF Sicily or Italy. There are sixty.
five cities and villages in the area

CALIFORNIAN
Senator Works Says if Taft
is Nominated, Progress
sives Should Join With
Democrats in New Party.

Los Angeles, CAL, Sept. 13.-Declar-
ing that President Taft Is reaction
ary and does not represent the true
sentiment of the republican party;
strongly urging consideration of Sen
ator Robert M. LaFollette as can.
didate for the presidential nomina-
tion; attacking the last session OF
congress for attempting to pass gen.
eral traiff revision laws and suggest
ing the formation Of new political
party, Senator John D. Works last
night told the members OF the Union
league just where he stood on these
questions.
Republicans are now facing the
question whether they will build up
the republican party or turn against
it and destroy it," said Senator Works.
President Taft is not representative
Of the people. He is reactionist,
and merry man with most plaus-
ible manner in explaining his mis-
takes. Taft and LaFollette are des-
tined to face each other in the next re-
publican national convention and ii
it were left 10 popular vote today, La
Toilette would be nominated.
IF, however, Taft does secure the
nomination, republicans will be con-
frcnted with a problem. 1t would do
no good to turn democratic. The
democratic party is more reactionary
and 1t is split wider than the repub-
lican party ever was. Progressive
republicans, therefore, would be con-
fronted with this ALTERNATIVES:
ITO remain within the party and
save it from defeat while working to
purify and improve it. or If they can
to join progressive democrats who
cannot support Wilson or any other
candidate and form new party"
Senator Works said he would choose
to remain within the republican party
and work in conjunction with other
prOgressives
