The big guns of the Progressive
party will be numbered all over
the country next week for month
Of intensive campaigning that will
extend to election day, it was an
nounced today at La Toilette
Wheeler headquarters.
Senator La Toilette himself will
be followed on the road imme-
diately by an army Of more than
900 speakers, David X. Niles. chief
of the Progressive speakers bu-
reau, declared.
Anxious to Begin.
Having made only three speeches
since the announcement OF his can.
didacy, La Toilette, his friends said,
is anxious to begin at once his tour
from coast to coast, speaking practi.
cally every day until the Saturday
before election.
La Follette's itinerary has been
virtually completed. The schedule
was submitted to La Toilette by
Niles, but the Senator withheld final
approval until he confers with his
son, Robert, jr., who returns from
Chicago Saturday. Niles would have
La Toilette speak first In New Eng.
land and the East before strikina
westward. Other advisers have
urged the Senator to start imme
diately in the West and postpone
his Eastern invasion until he re-
turns from the Pacific coast about
the third week in October. Miles

HOPES

Fires Of Love Still Burn IN
Hight, However, Who Now
Begs for Mercy

i
MOUNT VERNON, Ills, Sept.
26 Denial that Mrs. Elsie Sweet
in. in jail in Marion county
charged with numbering her hus-
band, MILFORD, in a 'love pact"
with the Reverend Lawrence M.
Hight, was on a hunger strike,
was made today by Sheriff Vogt,
following the circulation Of re-
ports that the comedy widow had
refused food since she had ar
rived there after her confession
Of her crime. The sheriff adj
mitted, however, that Mrs. Sweet
in had eaten but lightly, although
this he attributed to an over
wrought mental condition.
Is On Milk Diet.
"She is just weakened and In q
terrible mental and physical condi.
tion," vogt said. "She has not
eaten any heavy foods since she
was brought here. She has kept
on a milk diet, but as to hunger
strike-that is absolutely untrue"
Today. three days after she had
confessed her crime. Mrs. Sweetin
openly denounced the all-consuming
love which prompted her to ad-
minister arsenic to her husband.
OF Hight. her PERFECT love-" she
said: ST never want to see that
man again--never!
He made me do it. l didn't want
to kill Wilford. When Hight first
suggested Il, I said / wouldn't, but
he kept after me, telling me to do
1t. I argued for a month, but I
guess / was In his power for any.
thing he said I thought I had TO DO.
Urged Second Dose.
cit was hard to give wilford
poison. When he didn't die the
first time I gave him the arsenic.
Hight came to the house. He
handed me a peach and slipped me
note which said to give him some
more. In fast, all the time my
husband was lying in bed sick.
Hight came to me with these awful
notes, urging me to place more
arsenic in HIS victuals. / couldn't
control myself"
Rights Love Still Burns
But for Hight the all-consuming
fire still burned.
Il know she loves me-" he De.
clared In HIS cell in the dingy old
fashioned Nashville jail "She's
just talking now. It can't be other
wise"
And while the conflicting emotions
throbbed in these two principals in
the dual poisonings, States Attorney
Frank Thompson today continued to
round up the last shreds Of evil
dence on which he will seek to
send Hight to the gallows. His
four days of work on the case
since the first confession has re.
vealed a mass Of futile mistakes,
he says, which, while they do not
tend to minimize the intelligence Of
the defendants, serve to make the
case against them almost flawless.
He says he cannot understand
how two people could enter into
such a plot so lightly; how a man
could deliberately administer arsenic
to his wife and then leave the con-
tainer in which the poison had come
In the kitchen of his home.
With the day for presenting the
case to the grand jury, Hight, who
until recently declared himself
ready to meet any fate, has changed
his plea. Now he seeks not justice
