PROCRESSIVES FAIL
TO NAME La Toilette
DELEGATES GIVE HIM STRONG PER
SONAL ENDORSEMENT.
Clifford Pinchot and Former Secretary
Garfield Fought Proposition to
Name Candidate.

Columbus, O.-Progressive Republicans
of Ohio met Monday, formed a perma'
nent organization, adopted a declaration
of progressive principles, but voted fifty
two to thirty-two not to give their en-
dorsement to United States Senator
Robert M. LaFollettee, as a candidate
for the presidential nomination.
After refusing the endorsement of the
league the delegates voted e~ighty-one
to eleven in favor of a resolution as a
personal expression Of the delegates
naming Senator LaFollettee as "the liv-
ing embodiment of the principles Of the
progressive movement and the logical
candidate to carry them to successful
fruition."
The vote was on the adoption Of an
amendment to the report of the reso-
luton csommittee, which had been
unanimous in favor Of not naming a
candidate.
Clifford Pinchot, who declared that he
spoke only for himself and in NJ way
for Col. Roosevelt, and former Secretary
of the Interior Garfield, we're the lead
ers in the debate against giving any
candidate an endorsement. Senator
Works Of California and Senator Clapp
of Minnesota were equally vigorous in
urging that the Ohio progressives con-
centrate their efforts in working for the
election of Senator LaFollette.

New Jersey to place his name on the

view to having his name placed on the

"That necessarily involves a definition

SHERMAN HAS
Done Much GOOD
BUT FURTHER MEASURES ARE
NECESSARY.
Secretary Nagel Favors Enlarging Power
of Bureau of Corporations-Good
Combinations Needed.

Washington.-"The mere breaking up
of large combinations into a number OF
separate parts by no means meets the
whole trust question:" says Secretary
Nagel of the department Of commerce
and labor in his annual report transmit
ted to President Taft.
Secretary Maggie declares that the
Sherman law has been proved to be an
effective statute beyond all doubt and
that a degree of combination of capital
is quite necessary, but he adds that the
supreme court decisions in the Standard
Oil and tobacco cases have demonstrated
that the next step in the control OF great
industrial corporations will be the crea-
ton of a permanent federal agency.
How such control shall be exercised,
whether by commission, federal incor-
alton or other means, which have been
advocated recently by Judge Ebert II.
Gary, George w. Perkins and other
~financiers before the senate committee
which has been conducting hearings to
determine what changes would be de-
sirable in the antitrust laws Secretary
Maggie does not definitely say.
He favors however, q DEVELOPMENT of
the powers and scope Of the bureau Of
corporations.
"a certain degree or combination of
capital Is admittedly essential to the
carrying on of our great business enter
prises," says Secretary Nagle. ITO con-
troll properly such necessary combina.
tions we must have some administrative
federal office or commission which shall
make this work its business.
"We must have a permanent author
ity which shall by steady and continu'
GUS supervision and publicity safeguard
tho public interests and at the same time
allow full scope for necessary and proper
business efficiency and Development

Washington-Fresh from the Christ
mas holidays, members of both houses
locked into Washington Wednesday and
resumed the work Of grinding out new
laws.
In the senate the man who attracted
most attention was Senator JEFF Davis
of Arkansas, the new bridegroom Of the
upper house, who made his appearance
on the floor for the first time this ses-
sion, while his young bride looked on
from the gallery.
He introduced several reform meas
ures affecting interstate commerce, stock
speculation and the trusts, and gave no
tice he will address the senate on gam
bling.
A bill having for its purpose the re-
vival of the American merchant marine
was introduced by Senator Bristow. The
measure authorizes the secretary OF war
to purchase or have built fifteen steam
ships for use on commercial lines be-
tween the east coast of the United States
and the west coast of South America,
and the west coast of Central America
and the west coast of the United States.
Senator Bristow also introduced q bill
making it unlawful for any railroad to
own, lease, control or operate any COM
mon carrier by water with which the
railroad is a competitor.
Senator Raynor announced he would
submit a minority report from the com
mittee on foreign relations favoring the
arbitration treaties.
In the house the doings were of a per-
functory character.
Representative Olmstead Of Pennsyl.

of a newspaper story that funds do
