The city council ordered them off but
they are still in evidence.
Progressive party leaders took &C.
tion which practically prevents the
participation of the Progressive ward
organizations in the movement to
make the city council a bipartisan
body. A resolution adopted at the
meeting of their county central com.
mittee held in the City Club prevents
the Endorsement Of any aldermanic
candidates before the primaries of
Feb. "a.
This means that the Progressives
will have full set of aldermanic can.
didates in the field after the pri.
maries are held, and only the with.
drawal of the candidates they nom.
mate can pave the way for their Join.
ing the non.partisan movement.
The resolution as adopted by the
committee follows:
Resolved. That It is the sense Of
this committee that no candidates for
nomination on the Progressive ticket
shall be Endorsed by this committee in
advance of the primaries.
Resolved further, That It is the
sense of this committee that no dis.
trict, ward or precinct organization
should indorse any candidate in ad.
vance of the primaries"
The resolution was one of four
which were adopted at the meeting of
the county committee. All were aimed
to concentrate all powers In the
hands Of the party leaders sitting in
the executive committee of the local
organization. This was sought to dis.
courage the effort Of some of the West
Side party leaders who are not in
sympathy with the county committee
leaders to form an organization com.
posed OF Progressives Of the west and
northwest sections Of the city.
One resolution was aimed directly
at the West Side organization plan.
II gave the executive committee pow.
er to supervise the organization Of all
sectional and district clubs" This
will prevent the recognition Of the
West Side organization unless II oh.
tains the approval Of the executive
committee composed Of men unfriend'
ly to It.
The county committee in another
resolution prepared for q possible re.
volt as the result Of it's frowning upon
It's West Side organization. It pro-
vides that the executive committee
may Organize those various wards
and country districts in Cook county
where the committeeman in any case
may neglect or refuse properly to or.
ganize his territory"
Another resolution created a griev.
ance committee which Is to hear
charges made against any Progress.
sive.
All of the resolutions tend to make
the county committee supreme In the
management Of party affairs. With
their adoption the Endorsement Of Re
publican or Democratic candidates
will be practically impossible.
According to Harold l.. Ickes, chair
man of the county committee, all OF
the resolutions were adopted unani
mously.
