really bore the stamp of Colonel
Dewey's official position of chairman
of the progressive state central COM
nittee.
There was protest, unheeded, it is
said, by either Mr.. Mccormick or Colo
mel Dewey. Then the activity of Colo
mel Dewey and Mr.. Mccormick in each
others behalf was considered more in
tently by members of the state COM
mittee, who do not believe the third
party has either the right or inclina-
ticn to possess a senator at this time.
The agitation became sufficiently en-
larged to be threatening. An open
and shut. drag out and knock down
row within the party, it was declared,
would be a painful exhibit. Those OPP
posed to Colonel Dewey and Mr.. Nc
Ccrmick were planning a sortie on the
new combination, when Colonel
Dewey's resignation was announced.
By this retirement John F.. Bass,
who is vice chairman of the state COM
mittee, will assume the desk in the
adjoining office to Medill Mccormick.
II Is probable a wall will be construct
ed where there is an open space now.
Colonel Dewey in his statement de-
clared he will be unable to attend to
his political duties owing to a contem-
rla ted absence from the city. Mr. Nc.
Cormick previously had been state
chairman Should he desire again to
as sumo that Office fine row is pre-
dicted The Merriam forces will line
up in support of Mr. Bass and there is
Certainly no chance of the Mccormick
forces doing likewise.
Colonel Dewey prior to Joining the
progressive movement was active in
the republican ranks, sitting in the
game with such players as Fred A.
Busse and Daniel A. Campbell. He
was at one time considered one OF the
chosen of Governor Deneen, but this
political friendship was not of long
duration, although Colonel Dewey re-
NAMED until recently a member of the
governors military staff.

COLONEL DEWEY
OUT; MOOSE WAR

Chicago, Jan. '29-Internecine strife
within the ranks of the progressive
party eliminated in the announcement
that Chauncey Dewey had resigned
from the Craftsmanship of the state
central committee.
The withdrawal of the doughty colo
rel from participation in the direc-
ton of the party's affairs in this state
means, it is declared, that the Mer
RAM coteTie of progressives, captain
ed by Walter Clyde Jones, has broken
with the more recently created polit-
icel partnership formed by Medill Nc
Cormick and Colonel Dewey.
The trouble has been rumored for
some time, but denied by all concern
ed The break really dates back to
the early life of the third party move
ment in this state, when Medill Nc
Cormick and John F. Bass came to
the parting of the ways. This feel
ing has been intensified in the home
territory of the two men. Both Mr.
Bass and Mr.. Mccormick have mar
slaled their forces in the Twenty-first
ward with battle intent.
It is known that Mr.. Bass opposed
Mr. McCormick's candidacy for United
States senator and has not been back
ward about stating his views. The
same is true of the so-called old Mer-
RAM faction. They expressed their
views at Springfield and elsewhere un-
| til the feeling became intense.
Then Colonel Dewey addressed mem
beTs of the legislature and county COM
mIttee on the question of the senator
ship, announcing that he personally
would go all the way for Mr. McCor-
mick. These communications, it is
charged, instead of being personal So

At Augustana

Hon. c. G. Schultz, state superin-
tendent of public instruction of Min
nesota, has been chosen by the facul-
ty of Augustana school of commerce
as commencement speaker to address
the commercial graduates in May.
Superintendent Schultz was selected
at a meeting of the commercial fac
ulty held yesterday and an invitation
will be extended to him at once.
The choice is considered a happy
one, not only because of the prominent
position Mr. Schultz holds in the edu-
cationaI world, but because he is an
Augustana man. He was a member
of the college class of 1888, many of
the graduates of which have distin,
guished themselves in various profes-
sions.
The class that will be graduated
from the commercial department this
year is unusually large, and may break
all former records. Although an esti.
mate at present is impossible, Profess
sor Andrew Kempe, under whose eff
.cient management the commercial de.
partment has flourished this year, de,
clares that the graduates will mum,
Der close to so.

ing a Chance in Fighting
Christie Tonight.

Jack Dillon. the Hoosier middle

ability to trim Gus Christie in a Mil

that he will. Dillon does not. Only the

Suffice It to say that Dillon has the
class on past performances. He ought
to shade his tough opponent. But
Christie is making rapid strides to the
front. He is rough one. is learning
how to punch and is mighty hard to
. whip He'll give Dillon battle, win
lose.
The men are to weigh $50 pounds
