able.

The progressives of Mish1waka
are going the look before they leap.
This, at any rate. was the tenor of
the meeting held in the old head
quarters Tuesday evening.
It was announced that there were
over 1000 names on the roster. COM
piled during the Roosevelt campaign.
With the scattering 100 at the meet
ing it was not deemed prudent to
launch a city ticket at once, but 10
find out what the others are doing
first. In line with this a motion Of
fered by Atty. Ralph Jernegan was
/ passed providing that committee be
appointed TO confer with the stand
patters land any others" who might
ing fight 10 see how big a front the
combined party or parties could put
forth.
The motion was as follows: I
move that our chairman appoint an
investigating committee of ten mem
beers in addition 10 the officers OF this
club. That said committee be given
authority 10 investigate the local po-
litical conditions in the city of Mish-
awake and TO interview progressives
and republicans and any others who
may wish TO affiliate with Us. for the
purpose Of deciding the best plan 10
pursue in the approaching city cam
paign, and that said committee re-
port back to the Progressive club at
an early called meeting for the mem
bers' consideration and final decision.
That this committee shall rot have
authority to bind the local progressive
party in any way"
Committee Appointed.
The men appointed on the commit
tee were: O. K. Lang, Ralph Feig.
George Clark. A. ID. Warner, Henry

NettletOn, William Pfeifer, W. II.
Upper and W. j. Chesbro.
The officers Of the club stated We'd
neSday that the date for the next
meeting had not been determined, but
would probably depend how soon the
committee gets the desired informa-
ton
A prominent progressive Wednes-
day morning stated that the progress
sives were sure 10 have a ticket in
the field. Several republicans who
were seen were adverse 10 lining up
with the bull mOOsers and said that
they would support a citizens ticket
as willingly as one Of their own polit-
zeal faith, but that they would not get
behind q movement started and fOs-
tered by the progressives.
Ii was just one year ago Tuesday
night that Teddy" Roosevelt, leader
OF the Bull Moose. made his COMES
sion OF faith" at Chicago. SO local pro-
gressives look upon Tuesdays meet
Ing as a sort OF birthday celebration.

three-fourths of all the votes casc Tor
the candidates for president.
In accordance with his program. he
will announce that there was no elec-

cincts in the republic did not vote
and because he cannot succeed him
self, but he will continue in office un-
til his successor is chosen by a legal
election. This is in line with the pro-
vision of the constitution dealing
with such situations. He is assured
of the support of the supreme court
In whatever action he takes.
Citizens Go to Bull Fight,
There are 10000 voters in Mexico
City and state. More of them went
to the usual Sunday bull fight than
chose to exercise the right of fran
chise at the widely heralded presi-
Dental election.
The election passed off without
ripple. SO far as outward evidence
could be taken, there was not the
slightest indication to the average cit
izen of what was going on at the
polls. There seemed to be little in
terest in what the result of the poll
would show. Police and soldiers had
an idle day.
In Vera Cruz Huerta obtained 1910
of the 1000 votes cast, according to
the official returns. Diaz polled 300.
The remaining votes were scattered.
