coming revision of the tariff. This view
was strengthened by the heavy liquida-
ton by out of town stock owners as
distinct from the Wall Street specula-
tive element There was no apparent
reason for a change in sentiment today,
and it was the opinion of many market
observers that the rally was due in large
part to over-extension of short selling.
The increase of 25S, 900 tons in the Unit
ed States Steel Corporations untitled tom
mage was regarded as satisfactory
showing, but was without influence on
the market in its present unsettled
state.

ment recently introduced by Senator
Bristow to secure the people of the
United States proper control of their
own government.
These amendments embody the funda-
mentals of the Progressive posluo4 on
popular rule. If adopted in principle they
will secure the right to appeal to the
people of the country when important
legislation is blocked by adroit manpa-
lation and the right of the people, after
due elaboration, and without unneces-
sary and long drawn delay and procras-
tination, to make, and TO interpret the
purpose Of their own constitution The
adoption of these Bristow amendments
including that providing for the direct
election of United States senators WIN
make it comparatively easy to secure
the passage of desirable laws and 10
keep them in efficient shape on the
statute book.
In the matter Of leadership both To-
cal and national we may trust events of
the next year or two to develop our
ablest and most resoureeful men: and
for every position the leader must be
chosen, not in the least with reference
to his own desires. but solely with re-
gard to the needs of the people, for the
progressive party is the servant Of the
people. No man should come into this
country with the idea that he can es-
tablish claim on it; he must be con-
tent with the opportunity ii offers for
service and for sacrifice
In response, J. II. Gibson of Cald-

RooseveItRepeats Criticism ofIdaho
Court at Meeting of Progressives.

Chicago, Dec. 10.-At the formal
opening of the Progressive party S
conference here, today, Colonel Roose-
Welt repeated his criticism of the act
of the supreme court of Idaho, in rul-
ing Progressive electors from the bal
lot in the November election.
Not to have. criticized the decision,
for which several Boise editors who
quoted the coloneps structures have
been cited for contempt, would have
been cowardly, the colonel asserted.
1.-THE Boise Capital News" said Col
onel Roosevelt, was the only paper
that had the courage to criticize the
decision. I hold that it would have
been cewardly not to have criticized
such an outrageous decree. The Sc
verest criticism the paper contained,
however, was in a telegram from me.
Il did not make it half strong
enough 1t was much more than the
ordinary decision. Now the court has
cited Publisher Sheridan and other ed
itors for contempt. The court has it
within its power, by inficting a suf-
ficiently heavy fine, to ruin the only
paper in Idaho with the strength to
hold out against it.
II advocate that the Progressive
party pay any fine that may be inflict-
ed, and that we send the best lawyers
obtainable TO Idaho to fight the case
and to give il the widest publicity.
The action of the Idaho court is not
only against the people of Idaho but
against the whole citizenship of the
United States, and the people should
use every effort to combat the out
rage.
ut is to prevent just such outrages
that the Progressive party advocates
the recall of judicial decisions.
Colonel Roosevelt concluded his ad-
dress amid tumultuous cheers in the
midst of which arose the cry, Lets
hear from IDAHO
AS to leadership Col. Roosevelt said
the events of the next year or two
could be trusted to develop the best
men who must be chosen without ref
erence tc their own desires but solely
with regard to the needs of the peo-
pie.
Progressives in Congress and in the
state legislatures were urged to get
together and push progressive legisla-
ton but they were also eounselled to
support legislation that would carry
out the principles of the new party re-
CARELESS of what party might intro
duce il.
Addressing the progressive national
committees and other leaders Mr.
Roosevelt congratulated them on what
had been accomplished in the. short
time since the party was organized
and gave hope for the future. He did
not refer to the outcome of the cam
paign. but dwelt briefly on the action
Of the Chicago convention. He said
in part:
TN this brief campaign we have
overthrown the powerful and corrupt
machine that betrayed and strangled
the Republican party. Some day the
honest men and women who make up
the rank and file of the Republican
party will realize the full iniquity of
which the men were guilty who in the

conference was formally called to order.
today, in the La Sale Hotel.
Senator Dixon, the national chairman.
spoke very briefly and was followed by
Colonel Roosevelt with the keynote
speech
The colonel digressed from his set ad-
dress TO thank those who had contribut-
ed to the campaign fund.
81 wish" he said. ITO thank those
men who. when there was no definite
plan for obtaining finances. so generous
ly came forward with their subscrip-
TONS.
To give emphasis to his remarks the
colonel walked to the front of the plat
form and pointed at Senator Finn,
George w. Perkins. Frank A Munsey
and C. s. Bird. Calling each by name.
he continued:
II not only want to thank you, but t
say that I have been happy TO be as
ISOLATED with you. l want to say that
there have been no more disinterested
Progressives than yourselves Nobody
will ever have to investigate me TO learn
that 1 know of these contributions and
was very much obliged for them'
The depression was greeted by cheers.
The Afternoon Session.
The afternoon session of the conference
was a love feast at which rrogressives
from various parts of the country told
their experiences in the last campaign
and discussed plans for the future of the
party.
Among the speakers We're BENJAMIN
EaU Mills Of ~
Utah, Mrs. Maud Howe Elliott, William
j. Flynn of Pennsylvania, George W.
Perkins and Frank A Munsey of New
York, Clifford Pinchot and Frank H.
Funk, Medell Mccormick and E. v. Har-
baugh of Illinois.
Mr.. Perkins predicted a brilliant flu
ture for the party and then proceeded to
answer his critics who have accused
him of being new Progressive"
when it is suggested that l am a new
convert" he said, my mind goes back
to the years l have worked to put into
effect many of the principals of the Pro-
gressive party. For many years in my
connection with various companies / have
fought for social and industrial reforms
such as old age pensions and other planks
contained in our platform.
81 am enlisted for the was Just as 1
have been enlisted since early manhood
And the reason why / am with you is
that this is the first national party to
take up the practical questions which
confront this country. These are the
principles which must be adopted if this
country would endure
What is said to be one of the most
comprehensive educational campaign
plans ever offered at a political meet
ing was read by Miss Adams and
taken up for discussion at the after
noon session. 1t provides for six sub
divisions of the general organization

EDITOR MUST EXPLAIN.
With Publishes Cited for Contempt in
Giving Publicity.

Boise. Idaho, Dec. l0.-The publisher
and editor of the Boise Capital News will
have to explain, the supreme court of
Idaho ruled today why he should not be
punished for contempt in giving publicity
to Colonel Roosevelt's views on a de-
cision of the court which had the effect
of keeping the Roosevelt Presidential
electors off the official ballot. r. $.
Sheridan, the publisher, and Z. O. Brox-
on, managing editor. filed demurrer,
yesterday. This was overruled, today,
and the defendants Were given 10 days

per men who published his statemen,
if he were in the state.
