PROGRE:SSIvES
Of ILLINOIS
MEET
THEY CONFER REGARDING PLANS
FOR The FUTURE OF the PARTY
IN The STATE, AND ESPECIALLY
WITH REGARD TO next YEARS
ELECTIONS.
ALSO PLAN TO SELECT
SENATORIAL CANDIDATE

Chicago. Dec. l6.--Representa-
tive members Of the Progressive party
from nearly every county in Illinois
gathered here today to confer on the
party's plans for the future, with par
ticular reference to the elections next
year.
Before the meeting adjourns, it is
planned to select candidate for the
United States senate and to perfect
plans for complete tickets in every
county and in every senatorial ana
congressional district.
There were occasional flashes OF
humor in the address to ProgresslVes
made by H. J. Allen, publisher OF the
Wichita (kansas) Beacon.
Our Republican friends tell us that
we should come back and help them
lick the Democratic party he said
ITO hear these leaders talk, you
would think that licking the Demo
cratic party was the chief aim OF free
government
"And vet that task has been per-
formed more often than any other IN
American political history. 1t mas
never been regarded as dllilculI
task. 1t has followed naturally ana IN
variably in the pathway of inIrequent
Democratic victory and its regular
coming has Travelled as swift on the
heels of opportunity as the constltu-
ton would allow,
""rhe Democratic party has been re-
earded in America as a chastenlng rod
periodically to be invoked for natlonal
sins of Republican leaders.
"The Republicans leaders, made ar
rogant by long control, forgot thelr
source of power last June and became
the most solitary objects in political
life to-wit: Leaders without ANYBODY
to follow them.
"Rather than deliver the Republican
party over to the Progressive FORCES
which held majority, they deliberate
ly scuttled the party in it's last nation
al convention.
"They make public confession OF
this fact today by promising the FRO
gressives they will never do it agar
if the Progressives will just come
back and help lick the Democrats
cone of our New York leaders, Mr
Prendergast, who recently landed the
good job of comptroller of New YORK
by aid of Progressive votes, declare!
that it is now time to go back, Inc
Progressive party has fulfilled its mis-
sion so far as Mr.. Prendergast is con
cerned. He says he's tired OF stand
ing at Armageddon, and since th'
Progressives have given him com
Portable place to sit down, he declares
his intention of taking advantage 0
if. he advises all Progressives to az
likewise. With characteristic thought
lessness he forgets that his New 4orl
followers were so busy providing TO
his comfort that they neglected to pro
vide seats for themselves. Since MI
Prendergast stood on the platform a
Orchestra hall in this city and pro
fessed his never yielding loyalty to thu
Progressive cause, nothing has hap
pened to change the rather accurate
description Mr.. Prendergast then gave
of the arrogance and injustice of the
Republican leaders as represented BY
the national committee. These same
leaders are yet in control. more
strongly entrenched than ever"

Death Blow to the Ring,
Says Mayor Woodward

people could not be trusted that they
would give them what they pleased.
Il am satisfied that If there were
proper opposition in every ward in
the city that every one OF the gang
would be beaten next Tuesday. As
Il Is, there are only three members
Of the present Council who are Of
fering for reelection who had the
gall to vote on the charter question
when il was before Council, that they
djd not trust the people Those three
members are Councilman Thompson
of the Fourth ward. who seeks pro-
motion for his valiant work; James
f.. Warren, who seeks reelection as
Alderman from the Third ward, and
Councilman Hall, also of the Third
ward. who seeks reelection These
gentlemen. while they would not trust
the people. are asking the people to
trust them Next Tuesday will see
whether the people will trust them
MY work on this charter question
In this campaign was merely to re-
mind the people of what had been
done in the pc-st Not one dollar was
spent and not one man worked at the
polls through any organization Ev-
erything was voluntary and the peo-
pie are to be congratulated that they
have got rid OF as vicious a docu-
ment as that charter proved to be-"

harter. The very small vote proves

charter. The very small vote proves
that"
Though politician generally are
greatly disa ppointed by the result Of
the election, the general opinion IS
that they will continue to stand firm
against any radical charter reforms.
Like Alderman Nutting. they do not
interpret the election as a reputation
of their stand against the sort OF
charter urged by Mayor Woodward
and his supporters.
Judge George Hil'ver chairman O.
the campaign committee that sup
ported the charter, gave out unique
and interesting interview on the re-
suit. He said:
Judge Hillyer's Comment.
The proposed charter did not so
far enough, and l think the result is
due to the fact that the people are op-
posed to the commission form of gov
eminent. They ar against making
the changes suggested, even though
an Improvement, for fear ii might
open the way to another fight Tor
rlacing despotic power in the hands
Of a few So they preferred TO let tee
present charter stand.
IF it had been proposed to in
crease the membership Of the Council
so that about every 800 voters could
have their own Councilman, locally
elected by them, without dictation
from the outside or by anyone bit
themselves, and thus make the form
of government even T-Ore represen
tative and democratic than 1t is, then
the result might have been different.
But the city is tired of charter agi-
tation. The despOtic commission form
of government will be defeated. in my
opinion, worse than It was two years
ago, If the misguided factions who
want it ever force the issue upon the
people again"

Here is Mayor Nood"ard's state
ment:
Il am greatly gratihed at the re-
suit Of Yesterdays charter election.
While ] was somewhat upprehcnsiye
of less than 5000 voting, at the same
time they are beaten badly with the
amount Of votes cast. / attributed
the small vote to the fact of the con-
fusion and conditions surrounding
that election.
"The people had an idea that a
charter election was similar TO "A
bond election. that IT required two
thirds Of the registration for the
measure, and that all persons not
voting were counted against the mea-
sure. o am satisfied that this fact
controlled a great bulk u those peo-
pie in voting. as | had been sp-
preached upon that subject not Tess
than fifty times for explanations The
greatest qualification IS that yester-
days election shows that the ring
gang is dwindling into small proper
lions. They have been organized for
months and spending money during
this campaign i'm literature and other
wise. and some of the leaders spent
the day al the polls working for their
charter
but the people aroused themselves
sufficiently 10 crush them out, and
{. was a splendid days work for At
laufa. II will learn the peoples rep
reseutatiyes TO respect their wishes
IN the future, that when they hold

ing on a measure, that they Will be
listened TO in the future and not
slapped in the face and told that the

Friends OF the little girl are anxious
for her to meet Miss Keller, hoping
that the remarkable work of the lat
ter will prove an inspiration to her.
The work of teaching the child to
speak has been hard. necessitating
the establishment OF whole vocabu-
larry, and constant vigilance is neces-
sary to enable her to retain what
she learns. Arrangements probably
will be made with the management
Of the Alkahest Lyceum Bureau, IN

that restored the hearing of the little
girl one of the most remarkable in
the history of the profession. The
physician who cured her has sue
cessfully operated on nearly a dozen
cases in the past ten years, and his
theory and an instrument which he
invented have been accepted in Eu-
rope.
There has however. been consid-
cradle opposition to the work in
America.
Most Of the patients treated by the
Macon physician are placed in Miss
Arbaughs school, where they are
taught vocabulary and trained in
use OF the powers that have been re-
stored to them.
Among the children who are now
in the school are Robert Robertson,
of Wellston. Ca. and julia Canty, of
Macon. Specialists had pronounced
the case of the latter girl incurable,
but after the operation her hearing
was as good as anybody's.
