gressives from Sd states in confer

tee of the party today expressed their
confidence in the Progressive party
principles and their determination to
continue the party in action.
Reports were received from the far
states and later a statemen was issued
by the executive committee, through
its chairman, George w. Perkins of
New York, declaring that the Progress
sive organization ana campaign of ed
ucation should continue and that the
national committee of the party should
be asked to fix the time and place for
holding the national convention of the
party in 1916 and to transact business
incidental to the Presidential COM
paign two years from now.
Three sessions of the conference
were held in the rooms of the Chicago
Progressive Club and the statement
of Miss Jane Adams. member of the
executive committee that she was now
more enthusiastic than ever in the
cause of the Progressive party was
applauded vigorously.
Not a speaker made any suggestion
of abandoning the party and the sub
ject of amalgumation with either OF
the older parties was not brought up.
THE product of a rumor factory"
was the characterization given by
Chairman Perkins to representatives
of possible disintegration or amalga-
nation.
A statement issued after the meet
ing said
1T was the unanimous Judgment of
the executive committee that the Pro-
gressive organization and campaign

end the committee provided that the
Progressive National Committee shall
be called to meet not later than Jan.
Is. 1916, to fix the time and place for
holding the national convention of the
Progressive party and to transact such
other business as may at that time
come before it, incidental to the Pres
idential election of 1916.
THE industrial depression and the
consequent reaction against the DEM
ocratic tariff was undoubtedly the is
sue which primarily determined the
reactionary results of the recent cleo
ton Both the Republican and DEM
ocratic parties have passed tariffs by
the old method of log rolling and the
people have now repudiated them both
And so long as the tariff is made a
politicals and log rolling there can be
no stability of industrial conditions
and business can have no peace. The
way to provide stable industrial con-
ditions and business peace is to accept
the principle of protection as a ma
tional policy and to take the tariff out
of politics.
1--WE call attention to the necessity
of prompt action on the Murdoch tar
iff commission bill introduced in May,
1913
Progressive principles are promi-
nent and 1t is now more than ever
evident that the Progressive party to-
day is the necessary organ for their
realization"
The question of moving the party
headquarters from New York was not
dealt with by the executive commit
tee, though in the conference Clifford
Pinchot suggested that more west
erly location would bring the party
headquarters nearer to the great body
of Progressive party voters.
