Minutes of the May 23, 1913, meeting of the Executive Committee of the Progressive National Committee. Catherine Hooker was appointed to the National Committee, replacing Isabella Blaney of California who resigned. The reported resignation by the Illinois State Committee of Colonel Chauncey Dewey from the Executive Committee was acknowledged and tabled. The sum of $800 was pledged by committee members and departments, to pay legal expenses of Richard Story Sheridan which he incurred in defending himself against charges of contempt of court. Sheridan, editor of the Boise Capital News, had criticized a decision of the Idaho Supreme Court not to allow Progressives to nominate presidential electors by petition. Finally, a Progressive Publishing Association was approved, whereby subscribers at $1 per year would receive all publications of the Progressive Service.
