PROGRESSIVE PLANS.
Include Permanent Organization
and Publicity Bureau

| Chicago,De 11-New York wa!
selected as the permanent headquar
tiers of the executive committee o.
the new Progressive party tonight
after a fight in which delegates tt
the national Progressive conference
from several States sought to have
the headquarters located elsewhere
The vote on this question stood
80 to IL. Chief opposition to the
selection of New York as the loca-
ton of permanent headquarters
came from Colorado, Florida. Ida.
no. Louisiana, Texas and Wyoming
Members of the national execu-
tive committee from Ohio, Wisconsin
Michigan, Illinois, New Hampshire
and Montana voted against the re-
solution, naming New York, be-
cause they said the resolution was
not sufficiently comprehensive. They
desired the resolution to provide for
things in addition to a national
headquarters.
By a number of the delegates to
the conference the selection of New
York was received as a victory for
George w. Perkins and his friends
against whom some opposition had
been developed in the conference.
In addition to the selection of
New York as the location of head
quarters for the national executive
committee, it was decided to estab-
lish a permanent publicity bureau
and a permanent legislative bureau
at Washington.
Also the executive committee vo-
ted to send a commission to Europe
to study legislation in England Ger
many and older countries for the
purpose of getting material and
ideas for the Washington legislative
bureau. United States Senator Jos.
NJ. Dixon, of Montana, chairman of
the executive committee, was en-
powered to name this commission
of seven members. He announced
that he would appoint Medill Nc
Cormick, and DR.. Walter E. Weyl
as two of the members of this COM
mission.
Further the executive committee
adopted the principles contained in
the Jane Adams plans for the Or
ganization and financing of the
Progressive campaign. The Adams
plan was not adopted in it's entire
ty, because it was believed to be
too large an undertaking at this
time.
For the immediate financing of
headquarters and bureaus, 1t was
decided to ask for 100 subscriptions
of $500 each per annum. Six CT
these, totaling $4,000, were subserib-
ed tonight. They came from the
State organizations of New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ver-
mont, Delaware and Pennsylvania
1t is proposed to get AZ more of
these $500 subscriptions from the
remaining State organizations and
secure the rest from individuals
within the Progressive party.
Gov. Bass, of New Hampshire;
Matthew Hale, of Massachusetts
A.Drexier, of Delaware; VIM. Finn.
of Pennsylvania. and Gustavus 3.
Pope, of Michigan, were active in
assuring financial support. Mr.. Hale
announced that he would guarantee
$1,000 a year for financing the work
of the headquarters and bureau.

THE PROGRESS.
Spelling Reform.

William H. Maxwell, superintendent
Of the New York city public schools,
gives this illustration of the complex
ity of English photography: "The
sound Of long o is represented in thir-
teen different spellings-so, boat, roe,
oh, door, soul, though, low, owe, yeo-
man, sew, hautboy, beau" He urges
colleges and universities to unite in re-
forming our spelling But any change
must be popularized. and to this end
this suggestion has been made: Get
the newspapers and magazines to agree
to adopt simpler spelling Of. say,
twenty words on Jan. 1, 1913;
twenty-five more on Jan. l, 1914. and
SO on. the pledge not to be binding
unless a maiority is secured.
