Dixon. who managed the Bull Moose
campaign announced with = flourish
II trumpets that I'Ol. Roosevelt would
be present. He also predicted gen

among the things performed at the
gathering would the ousting of George
w. Perkins, chief angel Of the recent
movement, from further connection
with the 500 allied Progressive party.
1t was declared That the affiliated OF
NJ Perkins with the Harvester Trust,
the Steel Trust and other sinful COM
mnations disqualified him from addi-
tional usefulness even as an angel, to
furnish money.
Ertombs This Ghost.
To forever lay this ghost Senator
Dixon issued this statement:
So far as | am aware. there are no
differences among the leaders Of the
party which could justify TIE state
ment that Mr.. Pinchot or Mr.. Garfield
= seeking to GUST Mr.. Perkins from
leadership. Some of the papers have
leen very bitter, but the fact hould
he kept in mind that no special atti
tide has been taken BY any one man
priminent in the movement which
would justify this assumption of dis
agreement.
The Chicago conference will also
consider ways and means for conduct
ins the Progressive propaganda dur
ine the next four years. In this dis
cIssion, Colonel Roosevelt will take
part simply as one of the leaders OF
the movement
At the same time there was an aW-
full outbreak regarding a plank al
legged to have been stolen bodily
from the Bull Moose platform adopt
ed at Chicago in August. This was
the declaration relating to trusts and
other monopolies. Every Progressive
is looking inquiringly at his neighbor
and demanding to know who was re-
spOnsible for the elimination of the
PEI plank. 1t is intimated that the
theft was done for the benefit OF
George w. Perkins, and mayhap to
save his feelings.
Republicans Busy.
The regular Republicans have
passed the word around for a general
conclave of those left in New York

President Taft would be among those
present. But the Chief Magistrate

is not made apparent how he can be
in New York.

Republican powwOw is to patch w
the Grand Old Elephant and start it
on the way toward such recovery as
will enable it to do effective service
four years hence. Just whe will at
tend this meeting is not divulged
Some Regulars say the party may go
hang, unless they read all the Pro
gressives out of the ranks, while 9th
ers favor policy Of catnip and con

Bourbons Go Crazy.
The Democrats have already gone
far on the road to insanity because
of leadership and patronage. Each
and every Democratic mCmJer of the
either desires to be leader
or go Embossed. Indications are that
after March the senate will look
