ty will be set in motion formally dur
ing the present week On Friday or

the other final work incident to the
meeting of the convention itself
With the meeting of the committee
the new party will, its leaders say
come into being.
A definite plan for the present or
ganlzation and for the campaign has
been outlined. This will be explained
at the convention.
The plan. as it has been formed. in
cludes the nomna ton of third party
tickets in all the states except Cali
fornia, Kansas, Nebraska and North
and South Dakota. In these states the
Progressives control the regular Re
publican machinery and will not sup
port the Republican national ticket
The second phase of the plan is a
plan to break from the old organiza- =
ton, In states where the organiza ton
has been captured it is to be used as an
integral part of the new party.
The third phase is the idea that the
new organization and the new party
must be given permanency, no matter
what the outcome may be in Novem-

Advance Guard On Hand.
The advance guard of the politicians
and newspaper correspondents for the
convention have arrived in Chicago. At

quarters the clerks are busy with the
usual convention grind
More politicians are expected today

Plans to make his appearance at the
Coliseum impressive have been well
mapped out, His speech. in order not
to conflict with the keynote address OF
Albert B. Beveridge, the temporary
chairman, will be delivered at a special
session held on Monday night This
was decided by the arrangement com
mittee after a careful canvass of the
situation.
Tafts Picture Missing.
While the former president is speak
ing the faces of other former presi-
dents will be smiling down upon him.
The arrangement committee had long
and earnest consultation over the dec
orations. 1t was decided since this
was to be a new party representing
progressive thinking, that the bigger
leaders of the older parties should be
given place. 1t was decided also that
President Taft's picture should not be
hung. Those whose portraits will adorn
the walls are George Washington,
Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson.
Andrew Jackson and Alexander Ham
ilton. Roosevelt's picture will also be
given conspicuous place.

Railroad representatives sprung a
surprise on the railroad commission
Wednesday night by appearing before
the committees on railroads of the two
houses and fighting the bill, drawn by
Lawrence Finn, extending the power
Of the railroad commission. Mr.. Finn
has letter from Col Henry L. Stone,
chief attorney for the l.. & N. rail-
road, stating that he would not oppose
the passage of the bill. He said that
Mr.. Finn was authorized to quote
him to that effect in convention with
members Of the legislature. The L.
& N. is not yet fighting the bill, so
that anybody could take notice, but
the other railroads are making a fight
The bill gives the railroad commission
a great deal more power than the COM
mission now has, and it was surprise
to everybody that the L. G. NJ had
agreed not to fight the bill.
But all doubt about how the other
railroads would stand was not at rest
when the representatives of the rail-
roads appeared before the committees
and said that they were opposed to
the passage of the bill. They did not
do much good with the committee
as that body decided to report the
Finn bill with the recommendation of
the committee, and the passage
through the house and senate The
bill may have some rough shedding.
1t is predicted by Mr.. Finn, who is
chairman of the railroad commission,
that If the railroads beat this bill,
there will be campaign next time
members of the legislature are elected,
with the railroads as the issue and the
people will send legislature to Frank
fort that is committed to the passage
of drastic railroad law, giving the
commission power to control. The
commission really has no power as it
now stands and can do but little to
relieve the burdens of the shippers.
The people thin that the commission
has much great power than it has.
The most ia eaching bill that has
been introduc in the legislature at
the present sion is one that has
attracted little attention. This
bill regulates the liability of employ.
ers for accident to employees. It re-
moves con,ributory negligence as
defense in civil action for damages
It also provides that assumption Of
risks can not be plead as a defense in
such actions. The law applies not ony
to railroads, but also to all employ
ers of labor and means that the bars
would be thrown down for lawyers
who make practice of damage suits.
1t would mean that man who was in
jured, even though by his own fault
could still maintain suit for damages
and the negligence that the plaintiff
was guilty of, would count only in
mitigation Of damages. The bill was
by Representative Wesley
V. Perry.
