Senate, yesterday returned to Phila-
delphia from his post election vaca-

Mr.. Pinchot's statement, when he
was asked to tell of his present and
future plans was in substance as fol-
lows:
LAS to what I am doing now, the
next thing after filing the account of
my campaign expenditures Is the meet
ing at Chicago. You may be interested
to know that more than $4,000, or 80
per cent of the money / spent in the
primary and general campaign, was
for publicity-that is, for postage,
printing, buttons and the distribution
of campaign material. The total
amount / spent in both campaigns was
$49,275.95.
"As to my plans for the future, the
| first thing is the Progressive confer
ence at Chicago. OF course, there is
but one thing for that conference to

continued work of the party. One of
the things that has most pleased me
since election is that in the immense
/ amount of correspondence from all
parts of Pennsylvania which has been
coming into my office there has not
| been a single letter which advocates
giving up the fight.
For myself / do not propose to
abandon the 100000 voters who gave
me their suffrages in the last election,
and, as | said on the morning of No
vember 4, Win or lose, l will keen on
with the fight for conservation of ma
tional resources for the use of the
people against the monopolies and
| special interests, and in particular
against the kind of government that
