PROGRESSIVE CONFERENCE =
1T AFFECTS NEW PARTY
StGGESTIONS.

| The suggested formation, as re-
! suit of the progressive conference
| called by Senator LaFollette, Of new
| political party-a suggestion by the
way which was characterized as i'm
proper by the Wisconsin Senator him
! self-has been the subject Of extended
| editorial discussion. There is general
! agreement among editors that
| strong leader of the Roosevelt type
easily could start such a movement
| but no such figure is in sight they
say. The LAFollette conference gen.
! orally is considered as an emporium
list movement which is not expected
to do more than initiate a progressive
program of legislation to be at
! tempted in the next Congress.
The Wisconsin solon knows where

1924. He is so glaring out for mis-

some Of the lesser mischief makers
will refuse to make themselves tail

The Philadelphia Public Ledger (Ind.

the country will be for LaFolIette to

that the third party business has

This writer likens Americans to
wild birds. tThey make good pets,

writer admits. which to Americans
seems something of a compliment in

dropped by stages from $1.50 to rs
