CASPER, Wyo., Feb. 16-"The campaign of misrepresentation by the republican leaders merrily continues declared William F. Cadmus, nation al organizer, addressing the conference of Wyoming progressives tonight. They are taking full advantage of the fact that they have the press and the progressives have not. Instead of changing their principles to meet the popular demand of the times, re- publican leaders prefer to deceive themselves into thinking they can deceive the people by false news con- corning fusions, by misrepresentations of progressive principles, by impung- ing the sincerity of progressive leaders,
 MT Cadmus cited the article by former President Taft in the current issue of a weekly magazine as a case in point and continues:
 He charges the progressives with trying to create a socialistic demo- cracy when our purpose is to create a social democracy. With artistic misrepresentation he charges us with attracting to our party malcontents who want to take from those who have and give to those who have not to redstribute the property of the country What lie!
 Tn the past eight months I have spoken to thousands of progressives in thirty states and I have not met a man who advocated such anarchy To his recreancy in not keeping solemn pledges upon which he was elected in 1908, to his egotism in demanding renomination in 1912, a renomination which his record did not merit, MT.

Is it anarchy for the

Neither is it anarchy to prohibit child-labor or the discrimination against sex either in industry or at the ballot. Because we advocate sane human justice to charge us with an- archistic assaults against the integ- ritv of property and the security Of society. would be cheap demogogery in bar loafer let along former president of the United States. But Mir Taft in these false state- ments represents in virulent form the disease of his party. It is the eternal fight of privilege against progress. "A resolution announcing opposition to amalgamation with any other party was adopted. The conference was fol- lowed tonight by mass meeting at which H.
