IS IN DISRUPTION
Progressives Hold a Stormy
Session, Refused to En-
dorse Anyone
BIG STICK APPEARS
AND HAS INFLUENCE
When La Toilette Seems to
Have Things His Way
Roosevelt's Name
Upsets Things

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. LIN a
stormy session, which threatened for
several hours TO founder upon the
shores Of dissension between the re-
spective forces Of the Roosevelt and
La Toilette supporters, the confer
ence Of the Ohio Progressive League
held here to-day refused to formally
endorse the candidacy OF Senator
Robert n. La Toilette for the presi-
Dental nomination in 1912, and left
any endorsement of any candidat e
open to be decided later. either by
a referendum vote of the rank and
file of the Republican Progressive
League. or by a representative State
convention,
The conference to-day was not rep
resentative, the members having come
largely OF their own accord, and
without being selected as delegates by
any constituency. However. it was
conceded that the leaders of the pro-
grassive movement in this State were
here in full force and because of that
reason the conference assumed con-
siderable Importance In its relation to
the political condition in this State,
which has lately been selected as the
battle-ground Of insurgency against
the denomination of President Taft.
Inc Big STICK Appears.
The debate was stormy one, be-
tween the supporters of Colonel
Roosevelt upon one side. and Sena-
tor La Toilette upon the other and
until late in the afternoon 1t seemed
to be certainty that the La Fol-
lette forces would win their fight.
Senators ciapp. of Minnesota, and
Works. Of California, led the fight
for the La Toilette endorsement.
while Clifford Pinchot made yelled
threats of the withdrawal of the
Roosevelt support of the progressive
movement IL the conference made any
formal endorsement at this time
This was the big stick" which
finally caused the La Toilette en-
thuaiasts to deFist In their demand
far the Wisconsin senator's endorse
ment. hut IL was not until Judge r.
NJ. Wanamakers of Akron, took the
floor, following the plea OF Senator
Ciapp. that the tables were turned
upon the la Toilette faction. Judge
Wanamaker declared that tn endorse
La Toilette at this time, would be TO
drive the Roosevelt Republicans ia
the support of President Taft and that
the principles Of the progressive
movement were greater than the
candidacy OF any Individual and for
that reason the individual should be
momentarily sacrificed to the princi-
pies. His speech finally .wayed the
delegates and when the question was
called for at its conclusion the vote
stood az to 20 against the endorse
ment OF the Wisconsin senator
As compromise to the La Toilette
forces resolution was then adopted
declaring that Robert NJ. La Fol-
lette was the personal choice OF the
standard bearer In 1912"
Among the spectators in the wish
tors gallery was Republican National
Committeeman A. l. Vorys President
Taft's manager in Ohio.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Suffragists

Iaa-Husted Harper den ounce
ed DIR. Aliens anti-suffrage sentiments
as an insult to womanhood.
Referring to DIR. Aliens statement.
that mo woman has a right to be
a problem or problem creator"
Mrs. Harper sarcastically remarked:
mo woman LIS IA problem to other
women. II men cannot understand
her, that is their misfortune. and
she is not to blame for II. Do no,
try to make her less Of problem
but try to give men more sense"
What DIR. Allan says relating to
Simply carries out what he always
says when referring to that sub-
Ject. He never opens his mouth on II
without insulting womAnh0od.
Il notice the antisuffragfsts con-
template using that part Of his book
which relates to suffrage as part OF
their suffrage campaign literature
Let us hope they do. IT VIII fit in
nicely with the rest OF what they
send out. Women who like to be in
suited should not be denied the priv
ilege. and l never knew OF an anti

BY ali means the ants should en-
courage the circulation of DIR. AL
lens book. 1t represents that OF
other men who are too cowardly to
offer their opposition openly. but
prefer to use the anti-suffragist wo-
men as catspaws."
Replying to DIR. Aliens statement.
that "balloting by women will be ex-
pensive and must be justified by re-
suits" Mrs. Harper said:
las the State has been using wu-
mems taxes for a couple of hundred
years to pay for elections in which
only men voted, it is not Very logi-
cal to talk about elections where
they propose to vote themselves, and
as to being justified by results, tina!
point never was considered when a
new class of man Is To be enfran-
chised. as, for instance. the Indian out
West at the present time"
In answer TO DIR. Aliens expressed
fear. that getting out the full wo-
mans vote will be no small prob
lem." Mrs. Harper retorted:
CDR. Allen probably meant the w.
mans full vote being no small prob
lem--he might recall the recent eiec-
ton in Los Angeles, where 10000
registered men failed to vote and 95
per cent of the registered women
went to the polls
