Hartford, Conn, January 21, 1913. The wheels of power are in motion, and the Progressive movement is caught in the gears. In a move that has left many scratching their heads, the legislative machinery at the Capitol has been set in motion, with the adoption of joint rules that grant equal representation to Democrats on committees. This shift in power dynamics has put Progressives in a precarious position, forcing them to take chances for committee places, but may just be given representation on the Women’s Suffrage Committee. The stakes are high, and the Progressive movement is being forced to adapt, or risk being left behind.
