HOW THE OHIO REPUBLICANS
S|DESTEPPED> ON LA TOILETTE

COLUMBUS, o., January PRO
gressive' Republicans of Ohio met to-
day, formed a permanent organiza-
ton, adopted a declaration of pro
gressive" principles, but voted 50 to
80, not to give their Endorsement to
United States Senator r. NJ. La Fol
lette as a candidate for the Presiden-
tial nomination.
After refusing the Endorsement OF
the league, the delegation voted, 81
to II, in favor of resolution, as a
personal expression of the delegates,
naming Senator La Toilette as the
living embodiment of the principles
of the progressive movement and the
logical candidate to carry them to a
successful fruition.'
The successful vote, which came
after three hours debate, was on the
adoption of an amendment to the res
olutions committee, which had been
unanimously in favor of not naming j
CduuludIe.
Endorsement Is Opposed.
Clifford Pinchot, who declared he
spoke only for himself and in no way
for Colonel Roosevelt, and James K
Garfield, ex-Secretary Of the Interior
were the leaders in the debate against
giving any candidate an Endorsement
Senator Works, of California, and
later Senator Clapp of Minnesota
were urging that the Ohio progress
siyes' concentrate their efforts in
working for the election of Senator
La Toilette.
The resolution which was adopted
and which had been submitted to the
resolutions committee by Pinchet
Walter Houser, secretary of the Ma
tional Progressive" League and man
ager of the La Toilette campaign, anC

of the Ohio organization, reads as fol

prayer by Rev ]. II, Taggart pastor
of the Baptist church. and the address
of welcome to the visiting teachers
was made by Rev. J. T. Mcclure, of
the United Presbyterian church. Both
of these ministers are well remember
ed.
Hon, G. d. Hubbard was appointed
member of a committee to devise
means of sustaining the association,
and judging by the size OF the organ
ization today. he did his work well.
Mr.. Hubbard was also a, member of
the committee which should solicit
the State Legislature to change the
school law SO that the money paid TO
the state for teachers certificates be
turned over to the counties TO support
teachers Institutes
One of the speakers at this early
meeting was Hon. e. White of Col
umbus, the father of Ex-Governor A,
B. White of Parkersburg.
Arthur |, Foreman, then governor
of the State, was present and made an
address at the convention.

NEW TEXT BOOKS
Parents Must Bear Expense of Pur.
chasing New Books Next Year

AT the opening OF the next school
year, families with school children
must bear the expense that new list
of text books always brings to them.
The West Virginia School Book Com
mission at Charleston last week ae-
cepted bids from a number of pub
fishers to furnish school text books
to the school patrons of the State for
the next five years. Only three text
books that have been used in the
schools for the past fve-year term
will be continued through the coming
five-year term. All the other books
will be replaced by new ones. The
three text books retained are Myers
General History Lewis State History
and Peterman's Ciyics. Old books,
however, will have an exchange value.
For the first year of the coming five
year contract each old book will be
worth half the value of a new one OF
the same grade. After the first year
there will be no exchange value on
old books. CHM & Co. and the Ameri.
can Book Company will supply the
greater number of the new books.
