PROGRESSIVES IN SESSION 10 PICK VICEjfSIBENT Pennsylvania Grange Head Said to Be Most Likely Choice. By United Pres* WASHINGTON. July IS. —Prospects of selecting a running mate for Senator Robert M. La Follette were remote today as progressive leaders from all parts of the country met to perfect plans for the independent ticket campaign. The delay was not brought about by any deadlock or dispute, it was said, but merely by the fact that a multitude of detai's must be disposed of before the national committee can get down to business of naming a vice presidential candidate. While sixteen names will be presented to the committee, it was understood that consideration had narrowed down to these four: John J. McSparran, master of the Pennsylvania State Grange. Peter Witt, Cleveland labor leader. James Maurer, head of the Pennsylvania State Federation of. Labor. Parley Christensen, Farmer-Labor candidate for president in 1920. McSparren, a Democrat, who ran a strong race against Governor Pinchot in Pennsylvania, was said to be the most likely choice. He is a real dirt fanner, fully informed on the farmers needs and a rattling good campaigner, a factor needed on the Independent ticket. The fact that he is an eastern man is also said to be In his favor. Before the selection is made, it is understood. Senator La Follette, himself, may address the meeting and, while not attempting to dictate the choioe. may pick the man needed for the place. The meeting, held behind closed djors In the Machinists Bldg., across the street from American Federation of Labor headquarters, was called to order at 10 a. m. by William H. Johnston, president of the International Association of Machinists.

DEBS ISSUES CALL Urges Socialists to Got Behind Campaign of La Follette. By United Press CHICAGO. July 18.— Eugene V. Debs, Socialist leader, from his sick bed in a sanitarium, today issued a call for forces of Socialism to swing whole heartedly behind the progressive movement to elect Senator La Follette of Wisconsin President of the United States. The progressive convention in Cleveland was in reality the American labor party, "in embryo,” Debs said. He ridiculed the charge that the Socialist party was "wrecked’’ by its decis.ion to join with the La Follette forces. Debs also announced his acceptance of the post of national chairman of the Socialist party, but declared his activities would be restricted by his illnes. He is suffering from nervous exhaustion. Two Held as Suspects Edward Henipan. 20. of Howard Hotel, and Fay Cory, 21, It. R. C, Box 420, are held today on charges of 'vehicle taking.

New York St. WHY WOMEN LOOK 60 AT 40 With dark circles under their eyes, •allow complexions, drawn expressions, drooping shoulders, a lagging step, many women of forty have the appearance of women of sixty. In many cases this condition la caused by overwork or neglect of such warning symptoms, as headaches, backache, nervousness, displacements and irregularities which indicate ailments peculiar to women. If all women so afflicted would only rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound It would restore them to a normal healthy conditioa. and the n re taature signs of ap will soon disappear.—Advertisement.
