BRAVE SLOGAN
OF PROGRESS|vtS
WOULD HAVE CANDIDATE "a
EACH OF AIS DISTRICTS.
ORGANIZE AT THE CAPITAL
Composed of Bull Moose Members OF
Congress and Along Same Lines
Of the Older Committees OF
Two Leading Parties.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 24.-lt is a
brave slogan the progressive congress.
ional committee has adopted, "A can.
didate for congress In every one of
the 435 congressional districts"
The progressive congressional com,
mittee is the latest thing in the way
of political organization at the nation
al capital II is composed Of the bull
moose members of congress and Is
Iorganized along the same lines of the
older congressional committees of the
republicans and democrats. The
chairman Is Representative Hine.
baugh, of Illinois. and the secretary
lis Representative Kelly, of Pennsyl-
lyania.
Chairman Hinebaugh, whose home
lis at Ottawa, Ill.,, was chairman of the
republican county committee of La.
lsalle county and was serving as eoiin.
lty judge, having been elected as a
republican, when the bull moose
movement started in Chicago last
year. He joined the Roosevelt bolt
ers and announced himself candi-
date ON the bull nose ticket against
can, who had been nominated for his
sixth term. Hinebaugh won out. re-
Iceiying 1892 votes to 16,7Ss for Full.
Her. The democratic candidate re-
ceived 1856.
The first statement of Representa-
tive Hinebaugh as chairman OF the
progressive congressional committee
was that the committee will get busy
in the congressional elections next
lyear and that steps for placing pro
gressive party candidate on the ticket
in every congressional district In the
country will be taken as soon as the
committee can be fully organized.
Inasmuch as there are only nine
bull moose representatives and one
bull moose senator, it will be neces-
lsary to go outside of the congress to
have member from every state.
Provision for this was made, Chair
man Hinebaugh said Any state
which has no bull moose represent.
Tive in congress will be represented
on the congressional committee by the
chairman of the state committee. So.
in the case of Iowa, the member of the
progressive congressional committee
will be Carl +. FRANKIE, or whoever
now is the state chairman. Ii will be
up to him to take part in CARRYING out,
so far az Iowa is concerned the pro
gram of placing in the field a bull
moose candidate for congress in every
district.
Republican politicians in congress
believe ii will be impossible for the
bull moosers to carry out any such
program They declare that the con-
test in the congressional elections
next year will be over the changes in
the tariff and in the revision of the
currency system, and that the republi'
can party will be the leading chal.
lenger of the democratic party, and
that the large majority of men who
last year voted for Theodore Roose.

The Des Molnes Plan.

Des Moines, Sept 24.-Declarifg
that the present administration Is the
most extrayagant and wasteful that
the city has ever had, that politics In
stead of business is governing the
conduct of city affairs, and that the
membership OF the present commits
sion is a disgrace to Des Moines, c.
W. Johnston, retired attorney, who
was one Of the prime movers in bring
ing commission government to Des
Moines, denounced last night the lat
est move of the council in promising
increases in the salaries OF city en-
ployes amounting to $4,000. "fhe
city Council is holding bag Of gold
before 600 employees of the city to get
their support toward reelection Of the
present commissioners, Mr.. Johnson
said. 1T has agreed upon increases
totalling $4,000 and has promised TO
make those increases effective next
April. The city elections take place
next March. What the commissioners
Eare attempting to do is TO give thar
powerful body OF city employees cause
for wanting to see the present council
reelected by Offering personal re-
wards and that is what it is doing in
an indirect way. IF the commissions
ers are reelected the employees Will
feel sure of their increases in April; il
they are defeated they will not be
certain OF more pay. The only natural
result OF this situation Is that the city
employees viii work consistently for
reelection of the present administra-
ton and that, it appears to me, is ex-
actiy what the council Is aiming at"
