the La Toilette wooden tariff revision
bill as a substitute for the Democrat.
ic measure framed by the house of rep.
resentatives.
The La Toilette bill was adopted by
a vote of AZ to 20, less than two hours
after the Republican leaders had
achieved what they believed was a vic.
tory when a compromise submitted by
Senator Penrose vas passed in the
committee of the whole.
The sudden termination of the wool
tariff fight came as the climax of a
day full of surprising events. The
Democratic house bill for a revision
of the wool tariff was technically be.
fore the senate. The Progressives
first voted for Senator Cummins' sub.
s%titute, the rates of which were slight.
ly above those of the Democratic bill.
They were here defeated by 81 to IA.
Then Senator Penrose came forward
with a compromise measure consider
ably higher than the Democratic bill,
but which regular and Progressive
Republicans believed they could agree
upon.
Led by the defeated Senator Cum
Minis, who said he would accept the
Penrose bill as a step in the right
direction" all but three of the Pro
gressives rallied to the support of
the PeDrose measure and 1t was adopt
ed by the narrow margin of "a to 80.
This took place in what was known
as the committee of the whole. The
amended measure then passed into
the senate proper.
In the meantime, Senator La Fol.
lette, who, with Senators Clapp and
Kenyon, had Joined the Democrats in
voting against the Penrose substitute,
saw an opportunity again to pass his
bill of 1911, which President Taft had
vetoed. There was a quick rally of
Progressive forces and the La Toilette
bill was introduced as a substitute for
the already amended bill. 1t became
the substitute for the Democratic
house bill and as such the senate final
ly passed 1t, AZ to 20.
The ~Progressives who joined with
the Democrats in adopting the La Fol.
lette substitute were Borah, Bristow,
Ciapp. Crawford, Cummins. Gronna,
Kenyon, La Toilette, Poindexter and
Works.
The amended bill goes back to the
house of representatives and the re.
sulting tariff situation is exactly that
which followed the adoption of a wool
en- tariff In the special session of 1911.
The La Toilette bill is the same as
passed then by the senate, with a raw
wool duty Of 30 per cent and an aver.
age duty of So per cent on manufac-
tured goods. The house bill is the
same as then passed by the house,
with the raw wool duty of 20 per cent.
Out Of these two measures the con
ference committee last year evolved
a compromise which President Taft
vetoed because the tariff board had
not completed it's wooden investiga.
ton. A conference committee will
again take up the two bills and at
tempt TO frame a substitute to send to
the president.
Senator Bourne voted against the
La Toilette bill as a substitute, but
later voted for the amended measure
on its final passage.

THIRD TICKET TOBE DISCARDED
MIMI. STATE AND COMPRESSION.
AL CANDIDATES TO RUN ON
THE G. o. p. BALLOT.
VIII Carry Names of Progressive
Electors-Sam Gordon and c. r.
Knapp Confer With Roosevelt
At Oyster Bay.

Oyster Bay, New York. - Six Re-
publican states have adopted a plan,
Colonel Roosevelt said for the capture
of the Republican organizations by
the national Progressive party. The
states he named are Kansas. Mime
sofa, South Dakota, Idaho, California
and Washington.
In each of these states, according to
Roosevelt leaders who have talked
with the colonel or his aides, the Re-
publican organization is in control of
the supporters of the new party to
an extent sufficient to enable them to
transfer the organization, virtually in
tact, to Colonel Roosevelt's support.
In each case it is the intention to re-
tain the name Republican and place
candidates for congress and states Of
fees on the regular Republican tick
ct.
In states in which the law requires
that the anne of Taft and Sherman
be placed on the ballot as the Repub-
lican nominees, the Roosevelt candi-
dates for electors will go in a separate
column. Where the law does not ex-
act this the Roosevelt candidates
probably will be placed under the reg
ular Republican emblem on the theory
that Colonel Roosevelt is the legiti-
mate nominee of the party.
This claim goes back to the meeting
held in Chicago the night the Republi-
a national convention adjourned.
The Roosevelt delegates, together with
Roosevelt candidates for seats in the
national convention who were exclud-
ed, assembled in Orchestra hall and
offered the presidential nomination to
Colonel Roosevelt, declaring that they
constituted a majority of the honest
ly chosen delegates to the convention.
1t was Colonel Roosevelt's ~exnacta-
ton that no decision would be reach
ed as to the procedure in these states
until the general situation was discuss
new party next month. 1t has been
represented to him, however, that the
movement had advanced more rapidly
than was expected. and that thore is
No reason for delaying the work long
er. In South Dakota, Colonel Roose-
welt said plan already had been put
into effect. and in the other states
it had been decided to take like mea-
sures.
The Minnesota situation was clear
ed at a conference which Colonel
Roosevelt had with Lieutenant Gov
ernor Sam Gordon and c. T. Knapp
from that state. The impression was
obtained from Mr.. Gordon that no
independent ticket would be run in
Minnesota. Colonel Roosevelt said,
however, that as he understood it this
decision applied merely to the can
didates for state and congressional
Offices. and that the Republican can
didates for electors who are Roosevelt
men, will resign and run on the nation
al Progressive ticket. The other Re-
publican candidates are to be sup
ported by the followers of Colonel
Roosevelt, working through the Re-
publican organization.

TROOPS D|sORDERLY
iNTOxiCATION AND ATTACKS ON
WOMEN LAID TO MEN OF
BLUE" ARMY.
INVESTIGATION ORDERED
MAJ Officials viii Take II Up.-High
Army officers Do Not Believe
Regulars Were
Involved.

Chicago, III. - Moved by char
ges that United States regular troops
and various national guard organiza-
tons encamped at Camp Douglas,
Wis, for army maneuvers had insult
ed and attacked ome and had be-
come intoxicated, officials of the war
department in Chicago ordered an in
v~estigation to be made at Camp Doug
las and other points where the troops
have been modified.
General Ramsey d. Potts, command
er OF the central division, embracing
the regular army troops in 10 states,
t~elegraphed Major Carl r. Reichman,
chief umpire in charge of the maneu-
vers, to inquire into the charges and
the extent to which the regular troops
were involved.
Investigation also is said to be
planned to ascertain the conduct of
Wisconsin and Illinois national guards
men who, with regular troops from
Leavenworth, Kan, and Fort Sheri-
dan, formed the blue" army against
which the charges were made.
The charges involve the conduct of
the blue" army, while it was en-
camped at Camp Douglas near a town
Of the same lame. The red" army,
forming the hostile side of the battle
plan, was Is miles away and is said
not to have been involved.
The charges as made to General
Potts and which prompted him to or
der an investigation, are:
That almost one-third of the 1900
soldiers, comprising the blue army,
were intoxicated a few hours before
the campaign was to begin.
That although the men were sup
posed to be on a war footing" when
they took to the field at 3 a. m,
July %, all the saloons in the town
OF Camp Douglas We're crowded with
soldiers until / a. m. the same morn
ing.
That the officers failed to keep the
soldiers in the camp.
That women were insulted in the
camp and in the town.
That a girl 20 years old was attack
ed by a dozen soldiers and that al
though she reached the railway sta
ton at l o'clock in the morning, cry
ing for help, no M was arrested and
no investigation was made.
That many fights occurred among
the soldiers.
That slurring remarks were made
to who came from surrounding
towns, both with and without escorts.
Major Mcdonald, who was in com.
mand Of the cavalry squadron, denied
on his return to Fort Sheridan that
he had heard of any trouble at the
camp. He left there Thursday morn
ing.
Adjutant General William A. Simp-
son of the Chicago office of the wal
department and Howard Laubauch,
who is detailed from the general staff
in Washington, ID. c., in charge of all
National Guard regiments in the cen
trail division, said they did not be-

order, officers would have reported the
matter to army headquarters in Chi

NEW PARTY TO LAST

WHATEVER OUTCOME OF

AN TICKET
Planned In Every State But Six
Working Program For Pro-
gr~essives Approved by

Oyster Bay, New York. - A work
ing program for the new party has
been approved by Colonel Roosevelt.
who has recently been in consultation
with leaders of the movement, came to
Oyster Bay to lay their views before
the former president. After a long
conference it became known that the
fundamental question Of policy and
procedure had been agreed upon, sub
ject to approval of the National Pro-
gressive convention which is to meet
In Chicago mex week.
The program which will be sub
mitted to the convention contains
these major provisions:
Independent tickets in every state
except perhaps six, in which it is be-
lieved the Republican organizations
can be taken over bodily.
A clean break from both of the old
parties the Republican organizations
which it is expected to capture, to be
used as an integral portion of the new
party.
Formation of the party with the
idea that il is to endure permanently,
whatever the outcome of the Novem-
Der election.
Senator Dixon was accompanied on
his visit to Sycamore Hill by Dean
Kirchwey, head of the law department.
of Columbia university and o. X. Day.
is, publicity manager Of the new
party. The senator said, after he had
talked with Colonel Roosevelt, that
straight national Progressive tickets
would be run in every state except a
few in which the Republican organiza-
tons would cooperate with the new
party, and place Roosevelt candidates
for electors on the regular ticket. This
will be possible in states in which the
law does not require the names of Taft
and Sherman to be printed on the bal
lot as the Republican nominees.
The states in which there will be no
Independent ticket, he said, are Kan
sas Nebraska, California, both the Da-
kotas and probably one or two others.
Senator Albert j. Beveridge of In
diana, he said, probably will be the
aational Progressive candidate for gov
ernor of that state.
MIR. Beveridge will be elected gov
%ernor," the senator predicted. I'VE
will carry Michigan, Illinois and Penn
s%ylvania."
1t was felt that a definite outline
should be ready for submission to the
Chicago convention and it was largely
for this reason that Senator Dixon
came on to Chicago for the conference.
In making up the independent tick
cts in various states candidates on
either the Republican or Democratic
ticket may be placed on the ballot,
provided they agree to support the
National Progressive electoral candi-
dates.
In several states including Pennsyl-
vania it is expected the entire Re-
publican ticket for state officers will
be placed on the National Progressive
ticket.
Insistence upon making the party
entirely Independent is in accordance
With the wishes of Colonel Roosevelt
which insists that ne and his asso:
ciates must appeal to Democratic and
Republicans alike and look beyond the
present contest to the future, shaping
their plans in such a way that the
movement will go on whether defeat
Or victory ome at the end Of the
present campaign.
