PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE
BODIES Ill FOR TAFT I
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. &c.
President Taft's denomination
will find a formidable stumbling
block in the organization of the
Republican Progressive league
just announced.
Officially, the league is not
concerned with presiIetial can
didates. Officially, the league is
TOR the purpose of forwarding
progressive measures and popular
forms of government. Unoffi
cially, but none the less newt.
ably, the league is opposed to
Taft and the men who are back
of Taft, because Taft does not
stand for popular government or
progressive policies.

for special privilege. The re-
publican party machine, under
the Taft-Hitchcock regime, Stands
for the alliance between corrupt
politics and special privilege. 1t
is to break this combine and place
the party and the government in
the hands of the people that the
progressive league has been
formed. Taft's nomination must
be defeated by the league if it
is to accomplish its most import
ant purpose. The men active In
the formation of the league are
the men who fought the battle
against special privilege as rep
resented by the Taft administra-
tion.
Inevitably the progressives of
the country must send Mr.. Taft
to private life, discredited by the
rC markable record of being re-
fused "A second nomination, an
hoor which usually comes from
the party as matter of course.
There is no intention at the
present time that the progressive

party. 1t is recognized that the

JUROR
DEFENDS THE
VERDICT

That the Kvalshaug jurymen
ire beginning to thaw out is ev-
denced by another press inter-
view given by Juryman number s.,
John Redding, in justification OF
The verdict.
There is no doubt in my mind
but what the verdict of murder
n the second degree would have
been reached If the jury were not
convinced that the witesses, or
at least some of them, had been
tampered with," is the startling
statement made by Mr.. Redding.
Testimony Refuted
Asked to specify, Mr.. Redd,ng
refused to indulge in personali-
ties, but mentioned one incident
where Mr.. Kelley, in cross-ex-
amining Roy FELTON,, an import
ant state witness, got the witness
20 admit that he had been asked
20 suppress certain evidence.
Again, the evidence of Frank
ieger WAS refuted by the man
Phipps, he said. Taking away
the testimony of these two wit
nesses,' went on Mr.. Redding,
what is left in evidence to con-
vict? The jury had no alterna-
tive but to bring in a verdict of
not guilty
Il would like to say" he con-
tinued, that we are not such a
bunch of ignoramusses as we
have been made out to be. Two
Of our number, G. e. Quinan and
l.. Mills, were excellent Latin
scholars and several of us got
our education at the high school.
Explaining the now notorious
''bous" presented to Mrs. Kvals-
haug, Mr.. Reddig stated that this
vas started by the foreman of the
jury, Mr.. Blaze. They knew Mrs.
Kvalshaug was destitute and
friendless and did not see any er-
ror or bad taste in giving her a
Jew dollars to start >afresh.

letter. and it is not beyond the
bounds of possibility that in the
end the convention of 1912 may
see a progressive bolt.
That, however, is not the pres
ent purpose of the league. The
promoters of the league see at
the present time success for their
efforts to prevent the nomination
of a special privilege candidate.
That means success in. their ef-
forts to control the party organi-
zation, which would render a bolt
superfluous. Wise politicians see,
however, in the mere organization
of a movement of this sort the
political doom of President Taft.
With Senator Bourne of Ore

Col. Roosevelt heartily endorsing
it, the chances are that Mr.. Taft
must oppose a virile organization
