The prOgressives who hold the
whip hand IN the next Congress
began to use it today.
Nearly forty members Of the
House banded together under the
leadership Of Congressman John
N. Nelson, Of Wisconsin, served
notice on the Republican leaders
that unless there are some de-
cided changes in the conduct Of
House affairs they may find il
necessary to block organization
plans Of the regulars when Con-
gress meets on December 8.
Series Of Conferences.
Members Of this progressive bloc
are working out their plans in .
series of conferences with Nelson
as chairman, and Congressman Roy
O. Woodruff, Republican Of Mich
igan. as secretary. Nearly two-score
members are attending the confer
enceS.
It is their purpose to force, II
possible, acceptance by the Republic
can majority of reforms in House
rules, regulations and management.
and the acceptance in principle OF
the major provisions Of a legisla-
tive program to be formulated and
presented Guarantees of accept
ance and pledges OF performances
will be required from the Republi.
can majority before the House or
ganization can be effected If the
| progressives succeed In their plans.
With q full attendance of thS
House December 8, the 226 Repub-
licans and 2O7 Democrats being
present, it would take sixteen Pro-
| gressive votes to prevent majority
vote for election OF Speaker and
other officers of the House neceS-
sary TO organization Tor business.
The Progressives have more than
| this number enrolled on their list
'1Tt need occasion no surprise
should the House fail OF organiza-
| tion on December g." Congressman
Nelson stated today. He refused to
talk of the plans being matursd by
| the group of which he is leader
| further than to state with con-
fidence that they were progressing
satisfactorily.
Strength Is Admitted.
Republican leaders Madden and
Longworth admitted it was possible
for the Progressive group headed
by Nelson to prevent Immediate
organization Of the House, and to
delay that organization for some
time II such a course of delay was
planned. "They can hold up the
| organization of the House and de-
Law a start on legislation but they
can not hope to organize the
House." said Madden.
Republican leaders are watching
with apprehension the conferences

which were once the offices OF the
late James r. Mann, or Illinois:

House Republicans. There is some

WILSON FIGURES
IN BRITISH
CAMPAIGN
Utterances Of Ex-PFesident on
Protection Quoted by
English campaigners.

LONDON, Nov. 21.-The name
and utterances OF Woodrow VII
son, former President Of the United
States, today began to play an i'm
portant part in the hectic British
election campaign.
President Wilson's anti-tariff
speeches in the campaign Of 1912
were being sent broadcast by the
Liberals as arguments against Pre-
mier Stanley Baldwin's protection
policy.
The campaign is becoming nvelier
with each passing day.
Former Premier David Lloyd
George addressed mass meeting
this afternoon in London, following
up speech made yesterday by Lord
Balfour before q meeting, Of con-
servatives during which Balfour ex.
pressed anxiety over the outcome OF
the election.
Liberals Are Optimistic.
At Liberal headquarters the ut.
most optimism prevailed today. The
Liberals frankly stated the trend
Of the campaign is now going in
their favor and jubilantly claim they
have a fair chance to secure a ma
jortiy.
Conservative leaders did not deny
they are worried but nevertheless
claimed their positions are safe.
Meanwhile the Labor party is max
ing a most diligent campaign. Ram
sey Macdonald. leader Of the Labor.
ties, is touring the country districts
in an attempt to line up the votes
of the farmers.
The tariff question is the leadine
| issue in the campaign. In speech
in London, Lord Birkenhead, eater'
ing the campaign for the first time,
championed Premier Baldwin's pro
tectionist policy. Lord Robert Cecil
speaking at Hitchin. announced his
fidelity to the theory Of free trade
principles.
Predictions Unsafe.
| At this stage Of the campaign, 1t
is unsafe to make any predictions,
although 1t Is regarded as certain
| that both the Liberals and Lobor'
| tiles will sap the strength OF the
Tory majority.

Lazy-Minded Success.


EARTH over, intelligence is
~ busy cutting out unneces-
sary mileage and eliminating
extravagances from production
and transportation.
Rubber that reached the
United States before the war
was filled with dirt and impure
ties which taxed every handling
en- route.
Virginia farmers have quit
feeding COOLERS to hogs. They
once did. No other way to util-
lie unmarketable crops. De-
mand for peanut butter has
altered all that.
Thrift shudders at memory Of
eilaee fed to bonfires while corn
was squandered on mortgaged
cattle.
Old Texas ranchers allotted
fourteen acres of range to each
steer. Then came alfalfa to
show how four steers could sub
sist on one acre.
The trail behind us is swampy
with economic leaks. The newer
method is invariably the more
efficient-the improved tool
quicker and keener.
Success makes individuals
lazy-minded. When a man be-
comes prosperous complacency
and dissatisfaction usually
dull his wits. Necessity keeps
brains on the milestone.
That's why leadership is inces-
sanity shifting.
