"You have grieved and wounded your friends, but the Progressive cause will still advance" is the con cluding sentence of a long telegram which Southern California Progress sives, headed by Lieutenant Governor A. J. Wallace, have forwarded to Sen Iator John D. Works.
 When Senator Works, several days ago, gave out through the reactionary press of the country a statement very harshly criticising the Progressives who had decided to form a new party and condemning the course which Is to be adopted in the state of Califor- mia to give the people chance to support the presidential candidate whom they favored by a majority of 77 900 in the primary campaign, Lieut.. Governor Wallace and 39 other South ern California progressives sent him a telegram of protest, suggesting that he resign.
 Senator Works replied with a long written argument reitrating his views. The following telegram, sent to Wash ington Saturday, is the answer to his |reply.
 Answer to Works Letter.
 Los Angeles, Cal, July 20, 1912. Hon. John D. Works, United States
 Senator, Washington, D. C.:
 My Dear Senator: Your letter of July IT in response to a telegram signed by myself and others, is at hand
 I notice without comment your claim that those of us who protested against your statement which con- demned the action of California Pro gressives acted in passion" and that what you had to say is the outgrowth of mature deliberation.'
 Your first sentence makes the dec laration that you owe your present place to republican voters and then from that exalted place, in a later paragraph, you recommend these re- publican voters to support the demo- cratic candidate for president of the United States.
 You make further statement that there is in the country 1oday no nominee of the republican party" because he who is technically tlie nominee holds that place by frau1. There is never fraud without some one being defrauded and in this case you we'll know that the defrauded can didate is Theodore Roosevelt and if there had been no theft he would have been the actual candidate of the republican party; and yet, with this knowledge and with your own admis- sions in relation to it you find fault with the Progressives in California be- cause they undertake to remedy the wrong done and to do their best to place before the people of the United lulS Sdulc 1HSOuOIC IlOOoCNOAC as their candidate
 Refuses to Right Wrong
 By what process of reasoning do you make charge of theft, and that theft of the most outrageous char acter, and then refuse to take any steps to right this wrong and, instead, pronounce the severest condemnation on those who are bent on securing the only remedy possible in the case? It may not appeal to you as great wrong that one man, Theodore Roose- welt, should have stolen from him his nomination, but it surely, senator, should appeal to you as most seri- ous wrong, a heinous crime indeed. that millions of voters in our great country should have been robbed of
