BRAND "UNACCEPTABLEs.' >
Progressive Committee Will Guard
Forces Against Undesira bles.

Determined to brand as ''unaccepta-
BILE" every undesirable candidate that
attempts to ride into office on the
pretense of being a supporter of the
La Toilette Wheeler ticket. plans are
to be set in motion by the Independ-
ent campaign committee to canvass
every congressional district and give
official recognition to those candidates
who are in complete accord with the
Independent program
Friends of La Toilette and Wheeler
have expressed concern that their
cause may be injured by the efforts
of local candidates who are regarded
as undesirable to get on the ballots
as supporters of the independent
ticket. Recognition is to be given
only to those who are looked upon
as assets and not as liabilities. it was
made plain.
Senators and representatives who
are known to have been in accord
with Senator La Follette's policies
and are up for reelection will be
given Endorsement without qualifica
tion. and in some states and districts
similar enCoura cement may be ac-
corded liberal" candidates, especially

Committee to Handle Endorsements.
Tentative plans worked out for
the campaign place Endorsement of
congressional candidates in the
hands of the campaign committee of
eleven members. which probably viii
begin functioning within a few days.
Advisers of Mr.. La Toilette and of
Senator Wheeler are of the opinion
the committee should scrutiniZe
carefully the records of all candi-
dates, whether they are seeking its
endorsement or are apparently out
of sympathy with the La Toilette
movement.
La Toilette adherents here do not
expect to have candidates in the field
in every State and district, but they
expect enough of their supporters to
be on the congressional ballots to
give voters in sections where there
is considerable La Toilette senti-
ment an opportunity to record their
preference.
The campaign committee in max
ing public Endorsements is expected
to follow the desires of Senators La
Toilette and Wheeler who are
known to favor the recollection of at
least a half dozen Senators, nearly
all of whom are identified with the
Republican or Democratic parties.

his intention of supporting Senate

Saturday-"My Man"-Three truck
loads of roses were used each day for
several days during the making of
"My Man," a perturbation of George
Randolph Chester's famous novel, "a
Tale of Red Roses" Rumor spread
that the flowers were for Dustin Far
mum, who has the male lead, and soon
he was beseeched with catalogues,
specimens of roses and data enough
regarding the bloom to publish a
book on the Origin and Development
of Roses. He found there are fifty
species with three times as many var
ieties; that the flower was cultivated
from earliest times and has an origin
lost in antiquity. Tradition claims
that it was one of the blooms that
beautified the Garden of Eden, and
that it was favored by God and the
first human beings. The story of "My
Man" deals with the adventures of a
political boss who attempts modern
caveman methods in his suit for the
hand of a girl and fails. Later he
adopts modern ways and wins. Patsy
Ruth Miller, Violet Palmer, Margaret
Lands, Niles Welch and George Webb
are included in the cast.
