PROGRESSIVES our WITH NEW STRENGTH
Claim Failure to Aid Farmers
 Helps Their Cause

Washington, June T.--The ConNen- ton of the conference for progressive political action. which is expected to nominate Senator La Toilette for president in Cleveland, July 1, has been given impetus by the failure of congress to enact farm and railroad legislation. II is declared in state mcnt issued here today by it's pub licty bureau.
 A flood of requests for credentials has been received, from organizations of farms. disappointed and rcscntful at failure of agricultural relief lcgis- lation," and from every section of the labor movement. which has been cheated of relief from the petty tryan- ny of the railroad labor board and of injunction judges" the statement says,
 "Progressivc citizens in general See in the present political situation the possibility of great movement back to human freedom and security.
 We have proven that a balance of power in congress is not enough to secure constructive legislation, mat was SnONn III me SlTuSslS iol the Howell Barley railroad labor bill and the fight for the Norris Sinclair farm relief bill.'
 After outlining Legislation which it characterizes as necessary, the state ment says;
 "On these and other issues of vital moment to the people, VIC await the deliberate action of the republican and democratic national conventions. If these conventions do not respond fully, frankly and forcefully 10 the definite and concrete demands which the conference has outlined, the peo- ple's convention meeting on July 4 al Cleveland will accept the mandate which the farmers, the wage work CTS and the great mass of progress sive citizens Of the United States now press into its hands.
 "The conference for progressive political action stands, with stop watch in hand. observing the per formance Of the republican and democratic national conventions, We know the people will accept not eS- cuses, no pretenses. no masking of candidates of predatory privileges. The people will take back their gov ernment and makeeit serve the com- mon good"
