Columbus O., January a.-The Pro-
gressive Democratic League, of Ohio.
came into being here to-day At con-
ference of Democrats OF nearly every
county In the State. Although many
of the conferees had entered tho
gathering with the avowed intention
of declaring against the presidential
candidacy of Governor Judson Har-
mon, tho executives name was meu-
toned only indirectly, and the organ
ization satisfied itself with the adop
ton OF resolutions urging the members
to work against the choice OF any
delegate to either state or national
convention. who had not proved him.

COLONEL CANDIDATE
AND TAFT is BEATEN
That Is Boast of La Toilette Organization,
Which Is Ready to Throw It's Strength
to Roosevelt

We started out to coat Taft. and
We have done it.
With Taft beaten and Roosevelt
wllins, Roosevelt's nomination is in
eYitable. We are satisfied"
There 10 the position of tho La Fol-
Lotto political organization, which is
expected to be made clear. in some
public way. soon after tho return of
the Wisconsin Senator from his
western stamping tour, says Judson
Weliiver in the Washington Times.
There Will be some opposition to It.,
and IT Is probable La Follotte's name
Will be withdrawn as a presidential
aspirant. In all probability. he will
DO named in the Chicago convention of
next Juno, and VIII got whatever votes
are sent there to support him.
To Keep Machinery.
Eut tho La Toilette forces recop-
nize that Roosevelt will be the real
progressive candidate. the man who
Will defeat Taft IL Taft Is not renomi-
mated. Most of them are satisfied.
Without important exception. thoy feel
the outcome Is all hut certain.
Ever since the meeting of tho Re
publican National Committee, nearly
month ago. this condition has been
developing rapidly To-day the largest
question is what will be done with
the organization, machinery. and nc-
complished work OF the National Pro-
gressivc Republican League, the La
Toilette organization?
That Will not be decided for n CON
siderable period yet. Meanwhile tho
organization will go right ahead With
its work OF creating scntimont in favor
IF reorganization of tho Republican
party. The Progressive League Is COM
POSED of two distinct clnsscs OF peo-
pie: first. those who want La FoIlcttc
dominated and elected and, second,
those who want Taft defeated. Among
The national figures In the orgnniza-
Hon-thc Senator'S. congressman. Gov
ernors. mon OF wealth and large af-
tairs-these two elements are pretty
evenly balanced in strength. There
probably is not a man in the entire or
snnization who would not sincerely
and cheerfully give his voice Tor
Roosevelt as against Taft.
Awaiting Developments.
The expectation among politicians is
that developments will como slowly
until the prosressives in Congress
shall have had time TO decide the steps
TO be taken. First OF all, It is recog-
nized that while Roosevelt sentiment
has cngulfed the La Toilette move
ment and carried II away from all
moorngs. yet Colonel Roosevelt is
not yet formal, avowcd candidate.
Perhaps he never Will be. In that
event. organized work in his behalf
Will have 10 be carried forward in a
devious fashion, and 1t Will be import
ant to maintain mechanism through
which work can 6e done for the pro-
gressive cause. The La Toilette
League Is excellently organized to DO
this.

clare he never has believed he could be

To Win Miss Deacon
Back Into Society

NEWPORT, r. l., June 24.-In an
effort to recall her charming grand
daughter. Miss Edith Deacon, to the
joys of society life, which the young
debutante has forsaken since the pathe-
tic death of George Lee Peabody, her
sweetheart, Mrs. Charles H. Baldwin
has, offered a fortune of 100000 as a
wedding gift.
This lure to bring the young girl back
from the study of melancholy art in the
studio of a sculptor has just been pro-
posed in the hope that II will bring Miss
Deacon to Newport in August. The girl
OF late has become a recluse.
Indeed, Miss Deacon breads Newport of
all places. for It was there that her

in Boston and elsewhere, and a very
close student of art to which she says
she has given her young life.

Six Fatally Injured
In Motor Car Crash

PATERSON. n. J., June A.-Eight
persons in an automobile were so seri-

to one family, and live in Rutherford.

old, will die; Anna Livingston, seven
years old, will die; Paul Livingston, FIVE
years old, will die; Harriet Livingston,
two years old, will die; Miss Daisy Liv-
ingston, conclusion of the brain, may
die.
Mr.. and Mrs. Livingston, with his
mother and sister and the four children.
were in the machine driven by Mr.. Liv-
ingston. At Leslie and Main streets Mr..
Livingston gave the machine a turn to
run around a trolley car bound for New
ark. He failed to notice a car coming
from the opposite direction, and there
was a head-on collision.
The force with which the two vehicles
came together crumpled up the hood of
the machine, smashed the wind shield,
and scattered glass over the occupants
as they were catapulted into the street.
The accident happened in front of St.
Josephs Hospital. and a minute after
II was over willing hands were carry
ing the eight, all unconscious, into the
institution.
