Des Moines, Nov. 4.-The LaFollette
committee in charge Of the campaign
for the Wisconsin man for the presi-
Dental nomination has opened a west
ern headquarters on the fourth floor
CT the Fort Dearborn building in Chi

be in charge of Walter s. Rogers. who
represents the progressive movement
in Illinois backing Jones for governor,

charge as publicity man. Whether this
means Increased activity in Iowa re-
mains to be seen.

dent Taft is not In any sense a fac
tional matter is becoming more and

standpatters who are out and out for

office or expect. to held of6ce-is very
small indeed. On the other hand there
are many progressives who deprecate
any effort to defeat Tafts renomina-
ton, claiming that his nomination is
