MILLER BUSTED
BY PROGRESSIVES
Attempt to Turn Over Party to Citi'
zens' Movement Resented and
New Men Named.

If William E. Miller retained an
idea that he was still head of the
progressive party in South Bend, the
resolution which was adopted ut
meeting Of progressive voters, includ-
ing representatives of each of the
precincts in the city, should dispel it.
The action was taken by the pro-
gressives who refused TO bolt 10 the
citizens movement and who resented
the attempt on the party of some Of
the party members TO turn the entire
party over TO the citizens
AT a meeting Of the city central
committee at which the boilers
claimed they were in the majority,
although the regular progressives
denied that, a resolution stating that
the progressive party endorsed and
would support the citizens movement
was passed.
When this resolution was made
public the party members who refused
TO be betrayed organized. nominated
a city ticket at the regular primary
and then demanded the designations
OF the city chairman and the commit
teemen who refused 10 support the
ticket. IL was explained that this was
a mere act OF courtesy inasmuch as
under the rule OF the party, the ofnc-
ers had disqualified by deserving.
The resolution which has just been
passed formally deposes the old COM
mittee members and installs real
progressives in their place. II fol-
lows:
Resolved. That whereas Mr.. William
z. Miller. the acting city chairman
OF the progressive party. as we'll as
certain precinct committeeman, are
now openly supporting the citizens
ticket in the city of South Bend. and
have refused TO support, and are not
