Minutes of the April 13, 1914, meeting of the Executive Committee of the Progressive National Committee. The committee confirmed a resolution from the West Virginia state committee which called for the removal of William M. O. Dawson from the National Committee because of disloyalty to the party. The Executive Committee proposed William Seymour Edwards as a substitute, to be affirmed by the National Committee. The Treasurer’s report showed that, with the help of advances from two members of the Executive Committee, the committee had “lived within its income” during the previous quarter. In addition to its regular income, an estimated $40,000 would be needed for the remainder of the year. A potential national conference was discussed but was deferred in favor of a meeting with the state chairmen from the middle western states. Jane Addams’ resignation from the Legislative Reference Committee was accepted.
