AFTER THREE YEARS
LA TOILETTE GOES
TO WHITE HOUSE
TALKS WITH PRESIDENT WILL
SON REGARDING PROPOSED
NEW LEGISLATION.

Washington, March 14.-Senator La
Toilette made his first call tonight at
the White House in more than three
years. He was the invited guest of
President Wilson and spent almost an
hour with the president. He would
make no statement as to the purpose of
cret for days that he was expected to
discuss matters of legislation with the
president.
1t was generally understood that
President Wilson wished especially to
get the views of Senator La Toilette as
a true progressive upon tariff revision,
currency legislation, Alaska, and the
effect of physical valuation upon rail-
roads as provided by congress in the
closing days of the last session. The
conference tonight was merely prelimi-
nary to others to be held later Other
progressive senators will be asked to
the White House from time to time
and the president hopes that many of
them will find it consistent to line UP
with the democrats in passing what he
believes is progressive legislation
Senator La Toilette apparently was
in high good humor when he departed,
for although he would not talk about
his visit, he joked with the newspaper
men who were waiting to see him.
"This is my first visit in three years
to the White House." he said in an
swer to an inquiry. Il came once after
the special tariff sessions, called by
President Taft, but I wasn't received"
"Well, how do you feel noW?" he was
asked.
Fine said the senator as he stepped
into his automobile.

Colonel Roosevelt d claring that the
greatest number of delegates from

There have b en- three great move
ments of righteousness in this coun-
try--the time it was founded the time
1t was saved; and now when it is being
dedicated anew to the lives Of the
average man and woman who com
pose it,"
In the first movement, Virginia ana
Massachusetts were leaders" con
tAnued the sp aker in the second
Illinois, and in the third Pennsyl-
vania. Pennsylvania is the keynote
OF the progressive party. The next
time a national convention of the
party Is held, the greatest number of
delegates will be from Pennsylvania
and they will be fairly treated too.
I'VE expect you to make separate
party and party by yourselves We
want you and the other progressives
to stand up as progressives and show
that 1t Is not in your blood to think
of putting your necks under the yoke
of privilege" he concluded.
Former Senator Beveridge declared
the progressiVos are organizing al
over the country. The same thing"
he said, occurred after the first de-
feat of the republican party. Thirty
years is the average life of political
party In this country and both the
old parties were disintegratng be-
cause each was composed of members
of widely differing views"
The fundamental principle of the
new party, he declared, Is nationality
as opposed to locality-the supremacy
of the nation as opposed to the sup
port of the state.

NacO, Ariz, March 14.--With the
remnants of the federal garrisops of
northern Sonora-no more than 500
men-G'eneral Ojeda is defying at
tack from more than 1,50O state troops
tonight At Naco, Sonora, just over
the line, preparations are under way
for the expected assault in the morn
ing.
I'VE will fight" declared the fed
eral general as he gave orders late to-
day for immediate preparation.
Trenches were dug near the fortifica-
tions built on hill commanding the
approach to the town. The customs
house and postoffice equipment was
rushed to the American side and the
railway company moved over all
equipment With the men of the Aqua
Prieta garrison and refugee troops
defeated at Nicozari and El Tigre,
Ojeda must confront 1900 constitu-
tionalists moving against Naco in
three divisions and eager to wrest
from the Huerta national government
the only remaining port on the Ari-
zona border. Naco, is a subordinate
port to Nogales situated between
Nogales and Aqua Prieta. 1t is the
terminal of a branch of the Southern
Pacific of Mexico, which runs from
Naco southwest to the mining centers
of Cananea and Del Rio and north
west again to Nogales, where it con-
meets with the Sonora railway.

connoitered seeking to locate the ene-

Gales and Bracamente, from Aqua

miles of the border port.
Expects Assistance.
Ojeda expects assistance from Can
anea where there is a federal garrison
of 200 or 900 men. But the Cananea
federals have permitted state troops
to enter the mining town and so far
have not moved to the assistance of
their superior commander at Naco.
Ojeda previously had evacuated
Aqua Prieta in the face of a strong
advance of state troops. His retreat
to Chihuahua is cut off and the news
that Nogales has fallen makes his
position still more difficult. To the
south he is sure to encounter the
strong groups of constitutionalists
roaming the interior country.
