Progressives to Open
Office in Chicago

Announcement was made at the pro-
gressive headquarters today that branch
headquarters would at once be opened
in Chicago.
The La Toilette boom will be pushed
In the middle West and Northwest from
there. 1t was declared by Walter L.
Houser. in charge Of the headquarters
here, that the movement had grown SO
a branch headquarters in Chicago was
necessary. Who will be in charge Is
not Yet given out.
South Dakota has been added to the
list of States where there will be q
Presidential primary. 1t has been gen.
orally overlooked that there is a pro-
vision in the law Of that State that
makes such a primary possible. The
names of delegates can be put on the
ticket by petition. A group OF dele
gates could be put on the ticket and
designated as La Toilette delegates or
Taft delegates, and thus an expression
of the voters obtained.
From Columbus. Ohio. comes word
that a young mems La Toilette club has
been formed.
w. B. Brush, chairman Of the Texas
progressive Republicans, has wired here
that with honest treatment at the
hands Of the national committee" Texas
will give La Toilette forty votes in the
national Republican convention.

COMMITTEE MUST
DECIDE ON TAFT
When National Body Meets in December It Will Have
Opportunity to Say Whether 1t Wishes to Risk De-
feat by Remaining Him.
By JUDsoN c. wELL1vER.

When the Republican national COM
mittee meets In Washington. in Decem-
Der, to fix the time and place for the
national convention, the old-liners will
be provided a last opportunity to unload
President Taft. IL by that time they
feel that he IL weak candidate whose
nomination would invite defeat-and II
Is an open secret that a preponderance
or them so feel-.they will be afforded q
chance to put new face on the whole
situation, and to try to out the strength
OF Mr.. Taft in advance OF the nominal
ton.
This opening will be presented when
the Hon. Alfred Rogers. national COM
mitteeman from Wisconsin, rises in his
place and says:
Mr.. Chairman, move that the COM
mittee declare Itself in favor of a Pres
idential preference primary in each
state, and that a subcommittee be now
named to prepare such resolution as
is necessary TO present this matter to
the State organizations, and report
back to this committee as early as pos
sible.''
Thereupon. the crisis in the committee
meeting will come. The progressives are
demanding a primary. A month or SO
In advance of the national committee
meeting, they will address a formal let
ter to all members OF the national COM
mittee. presenting the demand They
will make ii clear their belief that only
by such an expression will It be possible
to nominate candidate whose chance
OF election will be considerable.
Progressives' Plans.
This will be followed UP by the formal
presentation Of the matter to the com.
mittee in quadrennial session. The pro.
gressives understand that they control
not over six committeeman; they are
hopelessly outvoted. But they reason
thus:
THE Presidents tour of West and
South will have shown his weakness
1t will have contributed to that weak
ness by advertising to all sections OF
the country how weak he is in each
1t will have impressed even the old
line leaders, who, however loyal they
might be to him. have small liking for
defeat.
"A Presidential preference primary
will afford a chance for the rank and
file OF the party to declare itself II
u wants Taft, that will settle It. II II
aess,t. aoesn IT sns can ,.Sat send up as pro-
as 1t likes, and let the convention make
the nomination. II 1t is true that tho

to a declaration. 49,.
THE Eastern leaders could vote for
such a proposition without any appar-
ent disloyaity to the President. They
would merely be making a concession
to the national sentiment in favor of
the primary method of selecting condi-
vote down the proposition, It will show
that they fear to hear the popular
voice; II they accept 1t. the progress
ives have a chance to show what they
can do. Either way. we can't lose"
