Show PROCBESSIVES II! ACCEFUF. Ill Committeeman Moon Believes Be-lieves Party Will Take Prohibition Candidate. TO DECIDE THURSDAY Utah Representative May Attend Meeting at Indianapolis. A. T. Moon, Progressive national committeeman com-mitteeman for Utah, has a hunch that an attempt will be made at Indianapolis Indianapo-lis August 3 to name J. Frank JIanley, the Prohibition party candidate for president, as the presidential nominee on the Progressive ticket, along with John M. Parker, the Progressive nominee nomi-nee for vice president. ' 1 That idea occurred to me, ' ' said Mr. Moon, "when I read in The Tribune that Mathew Hale, acting chairman, of the Progressive national committee, had called a national Progressive Pro-gressive conferenco to meet in Indianapolis. Indianap-olis. That city is J. Prank Hanly 's 'home town,' and it would not surprise me a bit to see an effort made there to put Hanly at the head of the Progressive Pro-gressive ticket." - National Committeeman Moon received re-ceived a telegram yesterday from Mathew Hale stating the purposes of the Indianapolis meeting and inviting him to be present as the national committeeman com-mitteeman for Utah and the representative represent-ative of the Utah Progressives. To Meet Monday. "Whether Utah Progressives will take part in the Indianapolis meeting will be decided upon tomorrow night at a meeting meet-ing of Progressive committeemen and leaders in the office of W. D.-Living-ton, chairman of the state executive committee. In the event that National Committeeman Moon does not go sev-; eral Progressives have announced their desire to obtain his proxy and attend the session. Among them are Thomas P. Page of Biverton and Mrs. L. M. Crawford. Mathew Hale has announced as the purpose of the Indianapolis meeting the reading of a decision as to whether another an-other national convention should be called to fill the vacancy at the head of the national ticket. Utah Progressives are known not to be entirely in sympathy with Mathew Hale's plan, having accepted the situation situa-tion of choosing between Hughes and Wilson, according to individual tastes, at the November election. To Decide Later. A considerable number of them have already announced their intention of doing this, t although they propose to remain re-main within the Progressive organization organiza-tion in the state and do what the organization or-ganization determines will be done with reference to state and local tickets. In this connection the unofficial conference con-ference committees of Progressives and Democrats, endeavoring to arrange the basis for an alliance on state and local tickets in the coming campaign, held another meeting yesterday without reaching any agreement. The meeting will be continued next week. The Progressive state convention will be held in this city August 18, the same day the Democratic state convention conven-tion is held in Ogden. One previous announcement, an-nouncement, which gave the date of the Progressive state convention as August 13, was a mistake The Progressives meet August IS. |
