STILL CLAIMS THE LEADERSHIP Refuses to Admit that Toga Will Be Worn In the Future By Senator 5 Beveridge. * “ HAVE FOUGHT A GREAT FIGHT” Says Corrnpt Machine In the Repub- lican Ranks Has Been Com- pletely Overthrown. By United Press. Chicago, Dec. 10.—Only by infer- ence did Colonel Theodore Roosevelt eliminate himself as the real leader of the Progressive party in his speech here today, the chief event in today’s conference of the party leaders. The former president covered much of the ground touched in his final speeches of the recent campaign. Roosevelt insisted that the Progres- | sive party has come to stay and he pleaded with its representatives in both congress and the state legisla- tures to try to carry into effect the Progressive legislative program, espe- cially that which would provide for federal supervision of the trusts. Industrial justice for women and children, and for all wage workers was' also one of the great problems that must be immediately met accord- ingto the colonel. There was little in what the col- onel said that could be construed as settling his views on fusion in vari- ous. localities and he insisted over and over again that the Progressive party -is here to stay and that-every member of it stands fully by all of its platform declarations. Have Fought a Great Fight, | “We have fought a great fight,” said the colonel, “and accomplished more in ninety days than ever any party in our history accomplished in such a length of time. We have forced all parties and candidates to give at least lip service to Progres- sive principles. z “In this brief campaign we have overthrown the powerful and corrupt machine that betrayed and strangled the Republican party.” Roosevelt reviewed again the “theft of the delegates” to the Republican convention at Chicago, and repeated former denunciations of the party Dbosses. - Campaign Gifts. Roosevelt declared for popular con- tributions to campaign funds. but ap- parently referring to some of the big contributions made to his own cam- paign fund, said: “I am willing that the party should take the large campaign contribu- tions, if honestly offered without con- dition or reservation, on exactly the same terms and in exactly the same spirjt as the small contribution. The real test of such gifts to a political party is the motive—not the size.”” Direct primaries everywhere were urged by the colonel, and he made a vpedizl plea for an educational cam- paign to begin everywhere to post the people on the merits of the Pro- gressive social and economical pro- blem. Farmers Should Co-Operate. The various problems of rural life were enumerated by Roosevelt at the great problem requiring immediate solution, “Farm financing,” he said, “should now receive the consideration it deserves. It will be interesting to note with what success our farmers will take up or adopt the European co-operative financing system of the Raiffeisen type. The greatest field tor farmers co-operation will be in marketing their product, which pro- cess now costs them and the con- sumer dearly. The promptest and largest measure of financial aid would come from mortgage banks chartered, regulated and carefully supervised by the government, oper- ated on the methods of the credit Foncier of France. “This plan gives the farmer long time loans of thirty to fifty years, with the arrangement that small an- nual payments amounting to seven or eight per cent would automatically amortize or wipe ‘out the entire debt at the end of the term. The bor- rowed money would be used largely for creative purposes and the easy payments would permit part of the farm income to be used for conserva- KIAMIL PASHA. Venerable Turkish Statesman Who May.

TAFT FAMILY TO OCCUPY THE PINCHOT HOME By United Press. Washington, Dee. 10.—A Taft fam- ily occupying a Bull Moose mansion will be a social spectacle of the cap- ital this season. The big, stone res- idence of Gifford Pinchot, former chief forester, on Dupont Circcle—in “Millionaire Row"”—has been leased for the winter season by Mrs. Thomas K. Laughlin, sister of Mrs. Taft. Pinchot, who was a Roosevelt leader, has not occupied his home for more than a year. It is one of the finest in Washington, and promises, under the direction of Mrs. Laugh- lin, to be a social mecca during the session of congress. ABERCROMBIE HEADS ROLL. By United Press. Washington, Dec. 10.—J. W. Aber- crombie, newly elected member of congress from Tuscaloosa, Tenn., will bear ithe distinction of having his name first on the house roll, displac- ing John M. Adair of Indiana who held the position for six years. The second letter in Abercrombue’s. name is responsible. It is “b” and in alphabetical a rrangement of the house roll he becomes the official bell- wether of the Democrats. On party votes the sound of Abercrombie’s name will be the signal for the Re- publicans to vote directly opposite. LIABLE FOR BIG FINE. By United Press. London, Dec. 10.—The fact that he has voted ninety-three times in the House of Commons since last March, may cost Sir Stuart M. Samuel, Lib- eral M. P. for the Whitechappel divi- sion, the sum of $232,500. He is a partner in the firm of Samuel Mon- tagu & Co., which has recently receiv- ed the government contract for buy- ing silver, and parliamentary proce- dure lays it down that no member of a firm doing business with .the gov- ernment may sit in the house. Sir Stuart ought to have resigned his seat immediately his firm got the con- tract, according to his critices, and the attorney general is investigating the matter. He is liable to a fine of 2,500 for every time he has voted since his seat automatically became vacant. A good many nasty things have been said about that silver con- tract and the firm of Samuel Mon- tagu, and ithe question is being asked whether Under-Secretary for India, E. Scott Montagu has any connection with the firm. ‘' He is a nephew of Sir Stuart Samuel and brother of Lord Swaythling, head of the firm. If some men would quit looking for a soft political snap and stick to their regular employment they would be better off financially.

EASTON IS SAFE Duluth, Dec. 10.—Heavily covered with ice the steamer Easton of the Booth line, which had been on Iro- quois reef, near Port ‘Arthur, from early Thursday morning until Friday evening, reached Duluth at 11:56 last night. L s A large crowd braved the bitter cold to witness the return to the home port of the vessel which many ‘had given up for lost, stood on the slippery asphalt piers of the ship can- al, and cheered as the staunch little ship ploughed its way through the government ship canal. At 5:30 last Thursday morning, the Easton, hugging the north shore of Lake Superior, ran on the rock, going nearly over the reef, but bung midship, its nose in deep water and its stern so high that the wheel was ~ Fifteen Days to iyt = | Christmas A wireless message from the strand- i ed vessel to Port Arthur, brought a | The Divine Sarah to Appear In Be- MERCHANTS PLAN BIG SALES Advertisements Will Appear In Daily Pioneer Showing Bargains to Be Offered.
