PROGREssIVEs MEET

Columbus. O., Jan. When the conference of progressive Republicans went into session here, 1t 10 o'clock today. to perfect a state organization for the big fight of Ohio. endorsement of Senator LaFollette. of Wisconsin. for president, was practically assured. A majority of the delegates favored this action. although LaFollette be- lieves the endorsement should be de- ferred.
 Some of the followers of Colonel Roosevelt, among the progressives. are counselling against endorsement ot any candidate at this time. The La Toilette people answer that the Wis consin senator is the logical candidate of the Progressives for President and his trip through Ohio. last week. when he spoke to thousands, proved that the great mass of progressive Repub- licans want him to lead the fight.
 Clifford Pinchot and Walter L.. Houser, the latter national manager of the progressive movement, do not want an endorsement given LaFol- lette contending that to do so would alienate friends of Roosevelt and thereby weaken the progressive cause.
 Personally. both Pinchot and Houser say they are for LaFollette.

 (By Samuel Gompers.)
 Tn our time, the most potent in Auence at work for common human Atty is the organized labor movement. That such a mass movement will have dts vfcisBitudes, must be expected but at has done so much to bring light and hope in the life of the workers, that in this, the New Year, the peo- p1e apfsvthe country may not only be 45roIid ofs its achfeVem ents but look 40gdE with NeonNdent expectation that the cause of right, justice and, hu- 1nanity, will be protected and ad- Wanced.
 I urge the men of labor to organize znore thoroughly than ever, to be per @fstent and insistent in maintaining their rights. to be patient, to patron Ize the union.

Nobody will be surprised if as a
result of recent experience the cit

clude that the recall is a nuisance.
By very large majority, they have
Just refused to recall the mayor and
commissioners, who were charged
with interfering with the free
speech of the Industrial Workers of
the World. One trouble with the
recall system is, that it makes it
possible for a small minority to
make trouble and some expense for
the majority. In this Oakland case,
the men who thought the mayor and
commissioners should be removed
before the expiration of their terms
did not represent the real sentiment
of the community, but they had no
difficulty in forcing a recall election.
The campaign seems to have been
lively enough to please the most vio-
lent of the advocates of change and
to make the friends of orderly adj
ministration wish that some check
might be placed upon those disposed
to make too free use of the machin-
cry of the recall. Oakland's higher
city officials have been given a new
lease of life, but no one knows how
long the lease will run. So long as
it is easy to persuade men to sign
petitions, it will not be difficult to
compel frequent voting in cities
which have adopted the recall sys-
