luton Against Him.

TRENTON. n. j., June l9.--The retention
OF George w. Perkins as chairman OF the
National Executive Committee OF the Pro-
Eressive party formed the subject for a
lively debate at "A meeting of the Pro-
gressive State committee and representa-
tives OF the various county committees
this afternoon.
Action upon a resolution demanding the
retirement OF Mr.. Perkins was deferred
until the return OF Col. Roosevelt after
ex-state Senator Everett Colby had come
to the defence of Mr., Perkins and ex-
pressed the belief that Col. Roosevelt would
also be found among the chairmans sup
porters.
Other features Of the meeting included
the resignation OF Frank 3. Jess as chair
man of the State committee, the resig-
nation of Ernest A. Shay. the Sussex
county member. who expressed the belief
that tho defeat OF the Administration
should occupy the whole attention OF Re.
publicans and Progressives a decision to
hold Progressive conference at Asbury
Park. at which delegates will be invited
from New York. Pennsylvania and Con.
nectcut. and the threatened resignation oil
George l.. Record unless the conference
should declare against Mr. Perkins.
Mr.. Record started the principal argu
ment at the conference by Offering a reso
luton demanding the retirement OF Mr.
Perkins. and In doing so referred to the
formal protest filed by Amos Pincho
against Mr.. Perkins, continuation in tn,
Craftsmanship. 49,
Mr.. Records resolution declared tina
the protest precipitates n crisis in tn.
history OF the Progressive party, maxim,
II necessary for the party representative
TO take position upon the Fundamental
question OF the protection Of privst
monopoly against the interests of tn
public at large.
In defence OF his resolution Mr.. Recor,
said that he had no personal animosit
toward Mr.. Perkins and made no attac
upon his sincerity.
Upon the question Of expediency Mr.
Perkins's prominence In our party coun
sells IL unquestionably n great injury I,
the prospects OF the party said Mr.
Record.
Celebrating upon this theory he de
clsred that Mr., Perkins. through hi
afnliation with the International Har
vester Company, had made himself un
popular with the farmers OF the countr,
hence he should be removed from hi
present position.
The resolution was tabled after NJ,
Colby had come to tho defence OF NJ,
Perkins. During the argument Mr. Recor
threatened to resign II his antl-Perkir
resolution were not adopted. but he sub
sequently reconsldered his purpose.

sat down.
THE motion seems to be lost said Mr..

JEFF McLemore was one Of the leaders

State Topics that Cullen Thomas was
working for the nomination of Ball.

A WONDERFUL PARTY.

The Democratic party in Texas Is
about the most curious thing under
the sun. II embraces men of every
conceivable political faith. Are you
looking for a protectionist? You will
find him in the Democratic party of
Texas. Are you looking for the pro.
tectionist's opposite, the free trader?
You will find him in the Democratic
party of Texas. Are you looking for
prohibtionist? You will find him In
the Democratic party of Texas Are
you looking for an anti-prohibitionist?
You will find him in the Democratic
party OF Texas. Are you looking for
centralizer? You will find him in the
Democratic party of Texas. Are you
looking for a decentralizer? You will
find him in the Democratic party Of
Texas. All shades OF belief are to be
found in this wonderful party. And,
what's curious about II, every shade
of belief is represented in official posi-
ton. Another curious thing is that
you will find in single person con.
fiicting views. II is this latter fact
that shows us how far we have wan
dered from cardinal principles. Men
running for office-and here's the evil
of the primary election system-are
almost altogether chameleons. They
adapt themselves to the local color.
The fault isn't theirs; it's in the sys-
TEN. What is the consequence? Why,
we get laws OF a contradictory nature.
No man can say with any degree of
certainty how the Texas delegation in
Congress will vote, not even ma
jority. No man can begin to conjec-
ture what day will bring forth in a
Texas Legislature. A man win stand
