MOOSE WT.R. FORMER Colonel Calls G. 0. P. Persecu tion of Mrs. Longstreet, of Georgia, Contemptible. CHICAGO Dec. 11.—The national committee of the Progressive party to day- went into session prepared to pass definitely on the plans presented at the national conference yesterday for permanent organization. The sessions begins at the hotel shortly be fore noon. It was expected that they would frame resolutions embodying the Ideas of organization presented, and that the executive committee would be empowered to go ahead with the work of carrying the organization forward along the lines mapped out. The resolutions, it was expected, would urge the organization of paying membership to carry on a na tion-wide campaign of “education” that 1s to begin at once. The educational campaign, it was expected, would be carried forward through six bureaus as suggested by Miss Jane Addams in a plan submitted to the conference yes terday and which was greeted wtth ap plause by those who attended the ses sions. For Weekly Newspaper. It was expected also that the com mittee would adopt specific plans for the work of organization in the vari ous states, carried on largely by the men who headed the campaign that has just ended. A weekly newspaper and possibly a monthly, to be the official organs of the party, are also to be es tablished if the committee carries out the recommendations of the conference. It was expected also that a series of resolutions embodying the sentiments of the conference would be presented. These would pay especial tribute to Colonel Roosevelt, it was said, embody ing the remarks of B. Fay Mills yes terday, in which he referred to the colonel as the natural candidate of the party in 1916. It was expected also that the resolutions would urge the colonel personally and the party to take even a more advanced stand re garding the judiciary than that indi cated in Roosevelt's Columbus speech. “Contemptible,” Says Colonel. Colonel Roosevelt, speaking last night at the "family dinner” of delegates, de clared the Republican administration was spending “its last days” in punish ing small postmasters and postmis tresses who had joined the Progres sive cause.” “Never has there been a more igno ble ending to a once great political party,” said Colonel Roosevelt. "It’s after election. The administration is safe from everything but incurring the hearty contempt of all good men and all good women. It couldn’t get at any of the big people and so it is work ing out its spite on the small ones. “Could anything be more contempti ble than the administration’s persecu tion of Mrs. Helen Longstreet, the widow of General Longstreet, who has been a Georgia postmistress and who had the courage and high-mlndedness to Indorse the things for which the Progressive party stand?" Colonel Roosevelt congratulated the Progressives for having formed a par ty which knows no sectionalism. In concluding his speech. Colonel Roosevelt saids "This country won’t be a good place for any one to live in unless we make it a good place for every one to live in, and that is just what the Progressive party intends to do.” TO BRIDGE WAYCROSS CANAL.

Senators and mere congressmen long ago threw up their hands and wished they never had been born, so heavy has been the avalanche of applications for jobs precipitated upon them. But right here in Atlanta, some six weeks ago, was formed a close commit tee on Federal patronage. It consisted—and still consists, al though split into various factions—of a round dozen faithful and true Wil sonites. A noble twelve, they are. who "fit, bled and died” for the New Jer sey governor when fighting, bleeding and dying was in order; and this com mittee set for itself the task of divid ing the forthcoming Federal pie, and passing it out in such wise as it should go. The committee consists of —but not yet has pome the precise time for the naming of names! Six Weeks of Futile Labor. Suffice it to say that the committee has been committeeing busily since it organized itself, commissioned Itself, and went to work, as aforesaid, some six weeks ago. It was discovered, soon after the committee was organized, that divers and sundry committeemen had their individual eyes on large, fat, juicy, plumpy plums, and that they intended, first thing of all, to commit the com mittee to their right and title to the same, before proceeding to the division among the smaller and less favored fry. On the committee, however, are three who swore by the great horn spoon that they wanted nothing themselves,, and that they thought it all wrong for the majority of the committee to swipe the choices slices of pie in sight for its own use, right off the bat, so to speak! Consider Even the People. "The people,’ said one of the truly patriotic, at the second meeting of the OPERA SELECTIONS IN COSTUME NEXT ALKAHEST NUMBER The International Operatic company will arrive in Atlanta tomorrow morn ing for its concert at the Baptist Tab ernacle tomorrow night. This attrac tion comes as the sixth number of the Alkahest Lyceum course and is regard ed by far the strongest musical number in the series.

DECEMBER 11. 1912. pie committee, “won’t fall for this sort of thing! We can't get together here for the purpose of dividing things fair ly. and then hook on to the best things ourselves. We can’t get by With, that game—and I am opposed to undertak ing anything we can't get by wfth.” "Well,” said a contrary minded mem ber, "I contributed to the Wilson cam paign fund; I went to Baltimore and stood on the burning deck whence all but me and a handful had fled: I made a number of speeches for Wilson, and gave out the Lord only knows how many hot air interviews, most of which got printed, and I think I should have my reward. "I am contending for a principle—of course, I don’t care particularly for the office. I think, before we proceed fur ther, that the applications of these members who deserve so much should be indorsed!” No End of Trouble, Now. And right then and there the trouble in the Atlanta committee on Federal patronage began—and the end is no where in sight! There are twelve on this committee. Every one of them, if his name were printed, would be recognized Instantly as a mighty influence for Wilson in Georgia. Not only do the glorious rec ords show it, but every one of the doz en, without exception, frankly and en gagingly admits it. .What the outcome will be nobody ventures to predict at this stage of the game. Much bitterness is spreading throughout the committee, and it may be necessary eventually to put the en tire membership under bonds to keep the peace. In that event, the names of the mem bers would become matters of court record, and the newspapers would print them, and—oh, dear, that would cause a rumpus, maybe! And the source of the committee's real authority to arrange for the dis tribution of pie in Georgia might be made known, too! LITTLE CZAREVITCH NEAR DEATH; COUSIN PICKED FOR THRONE PARIS, Dec. 11.—Indications that Grand Duke Alexis, the eight-year-old heir to the Russian throne, is failing fast in health are contained in a St. Petersburg telegram to The Matin to day, which stated that Grand Duke Pavlitch, a cousin of Czar Nicholas, would probably be appointed heir des ignate within a short time. As the little czarewitch is the only son of the czar, it would be necessary to go outside his immediate family for an heir to the throne in the event of Alexis’ death, K. P. ENCAMPMENT PLANNED.
