THE progressive party is pursuing
STRAIGHTFORWARD course, perfecting it's 10
cal and state organizations in every
northern state and in many of the south
ern states. 1t has become a national
party, rather than sectional party. and
after the 1914 campaign will at once
clear the decks for action in the greater
battle of 1916
Reports from our various state or
CARNATIONS clearly indicate that our dele
cation In Congress will be more than
doubled in the next Congress. Hundreds
of progressives will be elected to legisla-
tive and county offices throughout the ma
ton and our organization will then build
from the bottom upward. Since 1910 the
republican party has lost 125 members
of the lower house of Congress. 1t is
conceded by all who know the facts that
the republicans are bound to lose five
senator's in the coming election from the

of constructive legislation unparalleled
in the history of the country.
What will 1t profit the people to re-
turn the republican party to power?
What constructive program has 1t to
announce?
How much of the great work of this
administration will 1t undo?
The American people have confidence
in Woodrow Wilson. They rejoice In
his patriotism and unself1sh devotion to
duty They will. in the coming election,
return democratic Congress to support
him in his constructive policies of. prog
ress and reform. They will not elect
republican Congress that for two years
would only embarrass. harass and an
tagonize him in the great work OF re-
storing this government to the people.

BUSY WEEK CONFR0NTS
THE DISTRICT HEADS
Kalbfus Custer Decision and Other
Court Rulings to Be
Considered.

Tomorrow will inaugurate what prom
lses to be one of the busiest weeks ever
experienced by the present board Of Dis
trict Commissioners.
Adverse court rulings in the kalbfus
and the SUNDAY closing eases. together
with the opinion handed down by Judge
Pugh in Police Court annulling the re-
Gently promulgated auction regulations,
are some of the more important matters
slated to come up for consideration con-
corning which the District heads expect
to adopt definite policies of procedure
before the close of the week.
In addition. there is the newly organ
lied campaign by business men to obtain
q reduction in telephone rates which the
Commissioners, sitting as members of the
public utilities commission. probab bly, will
be called upon to consider.
Problems Slated for Tomorrow.
Because of the absence from the city
yesterday of Conrad II. Syme, corpora
ton counsel, the Commissioners did not
begin consideration of the legal problems
confronting them as result of the I'M
favorable court rulings, but they expect
to get at the task bright and early
tomorrow
The Kalbfus case probably will be the
first to be taken up. 1t is considered
practically assured that the Commission
ers will decide to prefer charges against
kalbfus as soon as he has been restored
to his former position as member of
the board of assistant assessors.
The plan most likely to be followed in
connection with the Sunday closing de-
cision will be to carry this case to the
District Court of Appeals, where effort
will be made to obtain early action in
the matter
With respect to Judge Pugh's ruling
concerning the auction regulations the
Commissioners, in all probability, will
decide to appeal this case also. Com
missioner Newman last night expressed
the opinion that the case would be car
ried to higher tribunal.

Telephone Subscribers Protest.

The Commissioner also stated that the
public utilities commission would be glad
to receive representatives of the newly
formed Telephone Subscribers Protective
Association in connection with its pro-
test against annulment by the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Company
of the fiat rate contracts. The commits
sion has already ruled that this rate is
a discriminatory one. The association
wants the rate continued until the COM
mission is ready to investigate the sub
ject of telephone charges generally.

man OF the Republican Congressional
Campaign Committee.
II believe the people are disappointed
with the democratic administration. both
legislative and executive. 1t has afford
ed none of the benefits promised and has
certainly wrought much of the damage
feared. 1t has injured agriculture every
where, and stagnated all productive and
Industrial activity. 1t has been destruc-
tive and discouraging, and not construc-
tive and encouraging. Both its foreign
and domestic policies have been vacillat-
ing and un-American: it has cared for
the interests of every body except the
American citizens I feel sure that the
American people will show their disap-
prevail this fall by electing republicans
to Congress in many districts now rep
resented by democrats.
