South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1916-02-10

That's what happened quietly
and without state notice through
the rush Of the last hours for pri-
mary filing. The moose call went
out through the 18th district. and
was heard, and I'm the result Of the
call may be seen a reason for the
maintaining Of progressive orgauiza-
tons in St Joseph and other 18th
district counties.
In scanning the completed pri-
mary lists. it is seen that every dis
trict in the state has a progressive
candidate for national representa-
tive-which may complicate certain
details which have been coming to
light concerning the desires of Theo-
dOre Roosevelt et al at the coming
national conventions. In other words
"a progressive national ticket
there will be a chance Of putting
over moose timber where support is
needed.

tive department:
