tives went into retirement to-day and
formed a National Progressive Con-
gressional Committee, with the under
standing that 435 Progressive candi-
dates for Congress would figure in the
next clection-one candidate for every
distlic; in the United States. 1erhe an
ucuncement of the widespread congress
soral campaign means that as far as
the Progressves in the Capitol are con-
corncd. there will be no amalgamtion
Of the Republicans and Progressives
unless some unforeseen political cata-
clysm or landslide or upheaval of senti-
ment occurs.
The formation of the committee
marks the first congressional campaign
committee tho Progressives have had.
The members OF the party met in
the Office OF Representative Kelly, OF
Pennsylvania, to elect officers OF the
committee choosing Representative

sentative Rupley. secretary. and Repre-
sentative Hulings. treasurer. Other
