There was a roar OF ayes from 400 Pro-
grossives who were squeezed In the little
hall.
The nomina ton went through Va a fash.
with half dozen speakers declaring
that Sulzer was the greatest martyr of
all time,

cold shoulder 10 the suggestion. hut they
were faced out by Max Slender. leader

it would take murder" to keep tho pcop'"
from putting Su.aer on the Assembly

They told Mr.. Steindler that tho Sulz"r
nomina ton wouldn't do at all--that the
Progressive party didn't want to make

Suizer would have to be squelched. MI
St,,ndler who Is n positive sort of per-
son and who was not a bit overawed by
Mr. Bird, had this to say
"The Progressive party is not party
OF bosses. You tell me 1t won't do to

SteIndler listened and again put the en-
barrassing question:

Leaders Lose Battle.
MI Bird. Mr.. Robinson, Mi Chad

and finally gave MIR. Steindler up AZ q |

word that he would hear from them
later. The battle Of tho leaders was lost
right there. Steindler had them. He
