I'VE shall continue our work Of or

and OF forming Progressive clubs. e"
said Mr.. Wallace. Wednesday. Sec
rotary Charles r. Hoffman, OF the
state central committee, viii make
Detroit his home, and will be In inn
mediate charge OF the work.
The outlook Is very encouraging.
While we did not accomplish all that
we hoped. the early returns indicate
that our vote has really increased
over that of last fall. The strength
Of the party Is indicated by the vote
for minor Offices. When the aid that
Col. Roosevelt gave the ticket last
fall Is discounted. 1t is seen that while
we received only Is per cent OF the
total number OF votes cast for minor
Offices in 1912. we received % per
cent. In the election just closed.
Our strength would have been
still greater but for frauds In Grano
Rapids and Houghton. There the
polls were closed at ) o'clock in the
afternoon, instead OF at s. This act
deprived thousands Of Progressive
workingmen and miners OF their
votes.
Every effort was made by the old
parties to cut into our strength One
method was 20 put several local
tickets In the field. In some places
labor ticket was organized to draw
strength from us: some times so
called citizens ticket was also placed
in the field. This was engineered by
the old parties. who did their best TO
injure us while trying TO hold their
own strength. But every act OF this
nature merely serves to strengthen
MS The fair-minded people OF Michi-
gan will not stand for that sort of
thing.
Another cause Of our defeat was
the small vote in the farming COM
munities. Two days OF good weather
had made the farmers anxious to get
TO work. Moreover, the roads were
in bad condition, and it was hard to-
get TO the polling places.
Though we have elected no state
officers. the Progressive party has
justified It's existence by forcing the
Republican party in Michigan to give
the people the progressive legislation
which they demanded. To save It,
self, the Republicans have had to give
us the initiative and referendum and
many other measures OF reform which
would never have been granted ii the
people had not shown the party man.
ayers that they would get these
measures through a new party If the
old ones did not grant them"

Last Prices Show Net Gain

New York, January &.-While some

a generally steady showing today and
closed steady with last prices showing
net gains of from to II points
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of to points in response TO bet
ter cables than due. but yesterdays late
break evidently had made a considerable
impression ON local sentiment, and the
appearance of near months selling orders
in the hands of leading spot brokers
seemed partly responsible for renewal
of local bear pressure and scattering
liquidation.
Prices eased off in consequence. with
the near months relatively weak, and
shortly after the opening January showed
a net loss of about 10 points while March
was points lower and later months
were around the closing figures of yes

was accompanied by purchases of july
supposedly in the way of undoing old

with prices becoming firmer in the aft

The census report showing 356,O1l bales
of linters, according to oil mill returns up

little attention and may have inspired

figures were generally considered in line

were no comparisons for the report, which
was, the first OF the sort on record
