Progressive Republicans Refuse 20
Join With Bun MOOsers.
PRoMIsE sUPPORT NO WILSON
Democrats, Regular Republicans,
Progressive Republicans and
Bull MOOsers Have Or
ganizatlOns.

Washington. March 2s.-An.
nouncement OF the plan OF certain
progressive Republicans In the house
to support President Wilson's ad-
ministration in the accomplishment
of progressive policies" was made
today.
Representative Kent of California
Representative Lenroot Of Wiscon-
sin, Representative Anderson OF
Minnesota and Representative Hell
geson Of North Dakota, announced
they would not Join the new pro-
gressive organization, which pro-
poses to nominate Representative
Victor Murdoch for speaker, but
would support measures proposed
by the Wilson administration as long
as they considered them of a pro-
gressive character. Representative
Kent said he would vote for Repre-
sentative Mann for Republican lead
er.
Steps were taken late today by
some of the men named to call a
conference of progressive Republi-
cans to determine upon q plan OF
action. All OF the representatives
who will be asked to attend have
already been invited to join the dis
tinct Progressive organization.
"I regard 1t as unfortunate that
there should be any division among
Progressives in the house at this
time," said Representative Lenroot
in a statement concurred in by
Representative Anderson.
"It may be good personal politics
for Progressives and for some men
who were elected as Republican
progressives to take such a position
at this time. but there is no stAtes'
manship about 1t. AS far as car
now be foreseen, progressives of all
political parties win be called upon
to assist and cooperate with Presi
dent Wilson in his progressive poll
cies and new complications relat
ling only to party politics can only
injure the progressive cause"
"I can see no good to be accom-
plished at this time by third part!
lineup in the house" Kent said
I"President Wilson has brought rs
surance OF his Intent to realize, aE
far as may be, those progressive
ideals which are held by all open
minded and forward looking men
To my mind our best services car
be rendered by aiding him and those
with him, toward securing the leg
islatiOn which we desire and for
which we have worked in the past.

Sentence by Lieutenant
Governor.

Richmond, Va, March 2s.--Mum-
bling a prayer and crying half audi
bly, that he was ready to go, Floyd
Allen, q lawless product of the Vir-
Rinia mountains, whose refusal to
accept q short prison term for a
minor offense led to the wholesale
court murder in Hillsville one year
ago, limped to the death chair in
the state penitentiary yesterday, ell
even minutes ahead Of Claude Swan
SON Allen. his son.
The sentence of the court, held
up for six hours while desperate
and dramatic efforts were being
made to save the condemned men by
eleventh hour appeals to Lieutenant
Governor Ellyson for a reprieve,
was ordered to proceed when Gov
ernor Mann hastened back to Vir-
ginia to take charge CT the situa-
tion.
The prison superintendent, acting
within the law, had agreed at 2
o'clock yesterday morning to defer
the execution, giving Attorney Gen
eral Williams an opportunity to pass
upon the constitutional rights of
Lieutenant Governor Ellyson to in
terfere. But the son Of Governor
Mann reached his father In Phila-
delphia by telephone less than an
hour after the delay had been or
dered and the governor was back
in Richomand, at 1880 o'clock.
In his office at the state prison,
Superintendent Wood nervously
awaited developments. At noon he
was called to the telephone.
s'The governor OF Virginia is
back at his desk" was the message
he received, and Instantly prepara-
tions we're made to carry out the
mandate OF the court. Father and
son heard the death warrants read
q few minutes later. Tears were in
Floyd Aliens eyes as he looked mp
ON his boy, and there was a pathetic
farewell as the old mount1neer was
led away. Two minutes after pc
entered the death chamber the cur
rent was turned on. Whdn the
prison surgeon announced that
Floyd Allen WIS dead, the body was
hastily removed and the guards
went back for Claude, who walked
In briskly and glanced cDoTly at the
witnesses. There was less delay in
arranging the straps for the second
execution, one minute elapsing be-
fore the power was applied. Floyd
Allen was muttsring a prayer as he
was placed in the chair, but Claude
was stoical- The Rev. George w.
Mcdaniel, spiritual adviser to the
prisoners, had to be lifted into his
car as he left the prison.

HAVE YOU INVESTIGATED

The Advantage of Cold Roller Disc
Sharpening?
There is nothing better to cut
stalks with or to put in oats than a
good sharp disc and the best way
to have your disc sharpened is to
have It cold rolled. This process
does not fracture or cut away the
metal but leaves a keen hard edge
that will last longer than when
sharpened in any other manner. Call
