1T, GAMATION.

New York, May 3O.--The executive
committee of the progressive national
committee met again in this city with
George w. Perkins persiding. 1t con-
c1uded a two days session Wednes-
day, after which statement was is
sued by Walter T. Brown OF Ohio.
Besides reporting that everything in
the line of organization work was pro-
crossing satisfactorily, Mr.. Brown
said:r %s - = = 7
Reports from every part of the
country show conclusiyely that there
is no sentiment among progressives
for any kind of party amalgamatlon.
On the contrary the reports are uani-
NOUS that progressives everywhere
resent every suggestion and refuse
to act with any other party. Republ::
can politicians in various parts of the
country are proposing milk and water
reforms and talking merger. Having
by hook and crook acquired the com:
|plete control of their party organiza.
tions, of course they are now seeking
votes to place them in power. Such
votes will not be cast by progressives."

!. MANY WANT SENAToRSH|P

States senators and representatives
who will vote to submit constitution
al amendment to the states which
When ratified by two-thirds of the
states will become part. of the con.
stltutlon. When a state has once act.
ed favorably it cannot retract, but will
count and await the favorable action
of other states.
!. In connection with the above it may
be said that North Dakota is already
in line as prohibition state If the
resolution came to vote to submit a
national prohibition amendment tomor-
row every senator and representative
from North Dakota would vote for it,
and the next legislature would ratify
it and North Dakota would be the first
or among the first in line. National
prohibition so far as North Dakota is
concerned is an assured fact now with
out any agitation or getting ready
The thing we can do that will aid tow
ard this great end is to thoroughly EN-
force our laws and set an example to
the states Of what prohibition will do
