The British drive was launched
near the left flank of the line

Nortoni Follows Parker.

Judge Nortoni's contribution to the
get together" conference was a tele-
gram to Virgil G. Hinshaw, national
chairman of the prohibition party, in
which he expressed regret at his in
ability to attend the meeting, but as
sured Mr.. Hinshaw he was with him in
spirit
Judge Norton added that he is
morally bound to support Col. Parker's
candidacy and to assist him in naming
a presidential nominee. He said he
woula work for the Incorporation of a
plank in the new progress
sive platform, however, and declared
himself unqualiiedly in favor of ma

They are afraid to join us until they
know we intend to go after the votes

support conscientiously," said Mr.. Hin
shaw referring to the absent progress

double his efforts to induce the Parker

Urges Child Labor Bill.

1t was understood, however, that the
Presidents visit concerned the legis-
lative program and the time of ad-
journment of Congress- which the
democrats have tentatively fixed at Au-
gust 19. The President, it is under
stood, urged that the child labor bill
be included in the imperative legisla-
tive program along with the work
mems compensation bill. The demo-
cratic caucus last week included the
compensation bill, but left the child
labor bill for consideration at the De-
cember session.
The President, it is reported, did not
want to@delay adjournment, and dis
cussed his plan to have notification of
his denomination deferred until Con-
gress had completed it's labors. He
sought to bring about an arrangement
of the legislative program so that the
child labor bill could be passed, without
delaying adjournment, if possible, for
the reason that 1t is advisable to begin
the campaign not later than Septem-
Der l, and notification ceremonies nee
essarily must be held prior to that time
Later Senator Kern, while not reveal
ing the details of the conference, said
that he thought any change of plans
would not mean any postponemenr of
