DENIES REPORTED PACT
Head Of Illinois Committee Optimistic
for Party After q Tour OF
Three Months.

Progressives of Illinois will not
only put a complete state ticket in
the field in September. but they also
will nominate complete congressional.
county and even township tickets.
This announcement was made by
Raymond Robins, chairman OF the pro-
gressIve state committee, who has
been touring Illinois for nearly three
months and who returned to Chicago
yesterday. II completely destroyed
the hope of republican leaders that an
amalgamation of the republican and
progressive parties might take place
before the November election.
Mr. Robins returned TO Chicago in
a most optimistic frame of mind. He
believes:
That the republican organization in
Illinois is dead.
That the progressive organization
will be stronger in the fall OF 1914
than it was in the fall of 1912 and that
the progressive vote will be larger.
That the progressiyes have an excel
lent chance TO name the next United
States senator for Illinois.
That the tariff bill and the increase
in the state tax rate are driving thou
sands of democrats into the progress
sive ranks
That the democrats face defeat In
their state campaign this fall

township elections, which show the
power OF our new organizations, he
said. an the next campaign we intend
to have progressive tickets in the field
in every township in every county and
in every congressional district in the
state
The chances for the election of a
progressive United States senator are
extremely bright. On the republican
side IL appears certain that Senator
Sherman will be renominated. His
vote for the Allen bill and his wabbly
political course, which makes him an
advocate OF progressive measures one
day and OF the most reactionary ones
next day. will prevent his election.
1T Is practically assured that Roger
c. Sullivan will be the democratic
nominee. His nomination will split
the democratic party. and many free
democrats will flock to the progressive
standard. Many democrats already are
doing so.
'Our meetings in the democratic
southern part of the state. in which we
practically made no impression in
1912. were surprising. The progress
sives have won victories in township
elections there that show their
strength. The democratic farmers are
disgruntled by the tariff bill, which
they are convinced was framed for the
benefit OF the south and without re-
gard to the interests of the north and
the west. They are disguised by the
doubling OF the state tax rate.
Says c. o. p. is Dead.
The position OF the republicans is
one of helplessness. Their position
shows the futility of building up an or
ganization on the sole foundation OF
There is nothing for the |

Mr.. Robins declared that all talk of |
his being the progressive candidate |
for United States senator was bunk"
The necessity for getting a senator
ial candidate in the field is the one
thing that is worrying me-" he said.
He mentioned Dean Franklin of Nc
county, B. F. Harris OF Cham
paign county and Medill Mccormick of
Cook county as the men most frequent
" mentioned in connection with the
senatorial nomination.
An effort was made TO induce Mr..
Robins to remain in Chicago and take
part in the aldermanic campaign, but

Fels-Naptha Soap is new way; it is
an easy way, and it does it's work better
than any other way. 1t not only works
when you work, but if you leave it alone,
it works by itself. For instance, if you
will put big wash to soak in cool or
lukewarm water with Fels-Naptha Soap,
it will go right to work on the dirt, and
i'm thirty minutes or SO, you can come
back, rub the clothes lightly and find the
dirt just roll out, leaving them white and
