POLITICS DAY BY DAY

Medi1l Mccormick, who has been one
of the leading managers of the La Fol-
lette presidential boom, issued formal
statement last night throwing up the
job and transferring his allegiance to
Roosevelt. Mr.. Mccormick is president
of the Illinois Progressive Republican
League, which is booming Jones for gov
ernor in that state, and his statement
was addressed to the league as follows:
considering all the circumstances, in
Guiding Senator La Follette's physical
condition. in the opinion of the over
whelming majority Of the, progressive
members of both houses of Congress.
progressives in Illinois must unite to
send Roosevelt delegates to the next re-
publican national convention. With
Roosevelt and Jones, the progressives
can sweep Illinois and establish. in
state and nation, progressive administra
tons which will substitute policy of
positive leadership for a policy of COM
promise with principle or concession to
special interests.
notwithstanding Mr.. McCormick's sep

lette boom the La Toilette general man.

to give UP the fort and he accordingly
issued statement declaring that Sena-
tor La Toilette will stay in the fight.
Col Houser's statement follows:
Senator La Toilette finds 1t necessary
! to take q few weeks rest. This may pre-
vent his making speeches in the states
which are to hold early primaries, and
his friends in those states will make
such campaign for him as in their judg-
| ment will best serve the progressive
principles which his candidacy repre-
sents.
Senator La Toilette was urged to be-
come a candidate by the most active
progressive republicans Of the country
because they believed that he, better
than any other man. by the whole course
Of his political career, represented those
principles. He never would have con-
scented to stand as a candidate, excepting
in good faith.
Through he finds his plans interfered
with by his temporary indisposition, in
fulfllment of the implied pledge which
| his candidacy made to those who have
believed In the sincerity and constancy
of his purposes, his name will be pre-
vention and delegates will make an ag-
gressive contest for his nomination and

ITO this end the progressive republi-
can campaign committee will devote its

about what other persons do.

bushels of corn to the acre in Iowa,
