PARKER IS NAMED
FOR THIRD TICKET

Indianapolis, Aug. 4.-Plans for
the reorganizationand perpetuation
of the Progressive party as national
political organization were made at
the conference of representatives Of
the party here last night. 70, <
After heated discussion it was de-
cided that it would be impracticable
to reassemble the Progressive Ma
tional convention and nominate a
candidate for president. Instead the
organization will put up an electoral
ticket in every state, where there is
the nucleus of an organization left,
bearing the name of John M. Parker
of Louisiana, nominee for vice presi-
dent in the hope of electing enough
presidential electors to hold the bal
ance of power in the event of close
contest between democrats and re-
publicans. Il. II 81
Among the states in which this
plan will be carried out are:
Louisiana, Maryland, Indiana, Mis-
souri,, Wisconsin,, Michigan, Utah,
North Dakota and Minnesota.
