Not only the $50 SClOOlS OI the COnBIGSdllOildl Cuul NA, but also the schools of other denom- nations in Connecticut belong to this organization, bringing the whole num- Der to 1070, about half this number being represented at the convention
 Secretary Woodin, Rev. Mr. Ewing said, was responsible for the excel lent program that was carried out. He took pains to go far away foE speakers. These speakers spoke as experts to teachers. One Sunday school motto on the wall always be- fore them was Vision, Vigor. Victory.
 George F. Hyde said in his report that it was stated that the Sunday school was becoming more a place for men and boys, some mems classes in the state numbering from 50 to 300 or 400 and classes for boys have now a large membership. Some of the points brought out were Bible study at the bottom of all true ser vice, putting into action and exercise the good impulses we have towards others, the fact given by one judge present that in six years he sent 2,700 boys to the penitentiary not one of

FEARS PROGRESSIVE BOLT
Says Wisconsin Man Cannot Hold
Insurgents Together "as a
Fighting Force"

Washington, Feb. 1s.--Gifford Pinchot, In
a signed statement made public to-nlsht'
announces that ne mas withdrawn his sup
port from Senator La Follette's Presiden-
tal candidacy and that he will hereafter
advocate the nomination OF Theodorf
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Pinchot asserts that the events OF
the last month have made 1t apparent that
Senator La Follette's candidacy will neither
hold the Progressive Republicans together
as fighting force nor prevent the nom
lnation of "a reactionary Republican"
THE course which the Senator has elect
ed to pursue says Mr. Pinchot, will not
keep the Progressives together, and In that
course l cannot follow him"
The statement follows:
The struggle which until recently has
centred around Senator La Folettes CAM
didacy was undertaken for two clear and
Specinc purposes; first, 10 hold the Pro-
gresslves together as an effective fighting
force, and, second. TO prevent the nomina-
tlon of reactiCnary Republican for the
Presidency. Within the last month cir
cumStances have made IL impossible 70
accomplish, by means of the candidacy OF
Senator La Toilette, either OF these two
purposes, ana the imperative need for an
other leader has been made plain.
health of Senator La Toilette, which all
his friends so greatly deplCre. | re,ain un-
diminished my admiration for the h.gh
quality Of his past services to the Plo o.
gressive cause, but the course which the
Senator has elected TO pursue will not
keep the Progressives together, and In
that course / cannot follow him. From the
beginning I have fought for cause and
principle, and not for man.
The reasons for the action | am taking
are set forth at length In a letter 10 SEN
ator La Toilette, In which / have notified
him that. since in my judgment his can
d!dacy no longer VIII advance the Pro-
gressive cause, ! shall hereafter advocate
the nomination OF Colonel Roosevelt, whose
duty believe 1t is to take up the leader
ship OF the Progressive movement.
Until this notification to Senator La Fol
lette was delivered ! have, OF course, taken
no part I'm advocating the nomination Of
Colonel Roosevelt The country knows that
Colonel Roosevelt is a genuine Progressive.
That question was settled once for all by
his active championship of human rights
during the seven years OF conflict which
medc the Progressive movement power
IN the nation.
