Denounced as Worn-Out.
"OUR STRUGGLE Is WITH

OF 1000, 900 Going to
Polls"

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The un-
precedented spectacle of a party leg
islative caucus open to the public and
attended by women, was seen at the
gressives called their first conference
Less than a score of members of
the new House were on hand for the
conference, but Representative Muir
dock, of Kansas, leader of the new
party, declared that many new mem
bers, unable to reach Washington in
time for today's conference, had en-
listed in the Progressive party by
letter.
The program for todays conference
included reading of keynote"
message from Theodore Roosevelt,
Nspeeches by members of the caucus
and the placing of Representative
Murdoch in nomination as the new
party's candidate for speaker.
Representatives Hinebaugh and
Murdoch, the most active in the move
ment, expect an increase in member
ship later on and are pressing for rec
ognition on important committees.
They demand the rights of a distinct
party in Congress. They have
legislative program, a candidate for
speaker and count ON the backing of
the national party organization with
the personal influence of former Pres
dent Roosevelt.
I'VE constitute new party, be-
cause the old parties are outworn."
declared Mr. Murdoch in his an
nouncement as speakership candidate.
1.-The elements which control the
Democratic party come half-hearted-
ly, incompetently and with inadequate
weapons to battle with the powers
that prey and pillage.
Those who have perverted the pur-
poses of the Republican party are in
league with privilege and at heart
distrustful of all majorities. Our war
is with an enemy that fears neither
the Republicans nor the Democratic
party. Our struggle is with the forces
of privilege.
