PROGRESSIVE
PARTY PLANS
ORGANIZATION

az ASSOCIATED PREss.

Chicago, Dec 16.-Representativ
members of the Progressive party from
nearly every county in Illinois gath
cred here today to confer on plans for
the elections of next year.
Nomination Of a candidate for the
United States senate was one of the
features Of the program.
The keynote was sounded by Ray
mond Robins, chairman of the state
central committee, who declared
against amalgamation with either of
the old parties and predicted victory IN
the spring elections. This sentiment
was echoed in a letter sent by former
United States Senator A. j. Beveridge
OF Indiana.
"Our need of the hour is organiza-
tion," stated the BeVeridge latter.
Every county should be carefully and
thoroughly organized, precinct by pre-
cinct. A full county ticket should be
put in the field throughout the state. :"
In his statement to the delegates Mr..
Robins declared "you cannot pour the
new wine Of economic and social life
of 1914 into the old party bottle Of
1861
"The promises Of the national and
state administrations are being COM
pared with their performances and
both are being found wanting" he con-
tinued. I'VE were promised a tariff
bill that would reduce the cost of liv-
ing. We have the tariff bill but the
cost of living rises, while the demand
for labor lessons throughout the land"
Mr.. Robins placed responsibility for
this situation on both narties.

velopments are expected to be de-

Gently told the board he was unable
to audit the sheriff's cost bills and
the board after short investigation
decided to go thoroughly into the mat
ter and set this morning as the date
to begin.
Auditor Macgibbon stated to the
board that the sheriff in making ar
rests had charged mileage against the
county that he had not travelled, sub
mitting bills where five and six men
had been arrested at one time as
though the arrests had been made on
different dates and only one man ar
rested, thus charging five and six
trips to. a place when in reality only
one had been made. 1t was alleged
that the sheriff also padded bills for
mileage in serving jurors in uaany
cases getting the parties for whom he
held subpoenaesi over the telephone
or sending the subpoenaes to men
living IN tn neighborhood tor service.

pie of primary election of delegates
