'the ability of the playerr. The team
lis so good, they con tired, that it is
1 bound to win the league chamj, ion

i Senator Brookhajrt Claims It Urdc-r
V-7ay with Prcgicssive Backing;

Washington Organization of a
movement for the nomination of a
"progressive" by the republicans next
year was reported by Staator Btook
hart, who recently advocated such a
campaign in the primaries. Senator
Brook hart said bis public statement
p .opr. sing a progressive movement in
opposition to the renominaiion of
President Hoover had brought a
"huge" stack of mail to his office,
together with word that an organi
zation was being perfected in Illi
nois. As for candidates to go into the
field, Senator Brookhari first men
tioned Senator Borah of Idaho. He
said the letters he had received men
tioned Borah and also Senators John
son of California, Nprrls of Nebras
ka, and LaFollette of Wisconsin, and
Governor PinelkOt of Pennsylvania.
Senator Brookhart predicted "if the
progressives go into the presidential
primaries they can gain a majority of
the votes in the next convention."
He said he believed Pincfiot would
liave a majority of tho powerful
Pennsylvania delegation.
"In all my mail," he said. "I got
just one hostile letter. The others
indorsed the sueestio: that progres
sives get into the republican presi
dential race. The main response came
from Illinois. Indians, and Ohio. To
my surprise thei-e was endorsement
generally thruout the east as well as
the middlewest."
Men Suggested Silent.
The candideF suggested by Brook
h lit are carefully keeping their si
br.ee. aware that it is a long way
to the next convention. All of the
groun in the senate have been in op
position to the major policies of the
Hoover administration. Brookhart
camprvgncd for Hoover in 1928. but
hn since disagreed with him. He is
up for te-election himself next year
and ?ays he is taking no active part
in the movement.
Republican regulars who are pre
paring to get behind the Hoover re

reported by Senator Brookhart to be
