come out with the indorsement of
some other republican, t preferably
Senator La Follette, for the leader
of the party in the campaign of 1912.
"Taft," said Senator Cummins, "is
out of harmony with the political
viewB of the rank and file of the
republican party. Without disparg

the progressive view." Asked point

next spring as now, he said: "I do
not know. The republican state con
vention Is yet a long way off. Many
things may Intervene between now
and then which will serve to change
the situation. Personally, I am op
posed to President Taft. If I had
my way, he would not be the choice
of the republican national conven
tion, and if it were possible for me
to prevent It, I do not hesitate to
say that I would do so. La Follette
standB for legislation which is per
fectly safe and sane, notwithstanding
the efforts that have been made by
his enemies to discredit him as un
safe. The intense earnestness with
which he fights for a cause espoused
Is the only thing that leads many to
the erroneous belief that he is unsafe."
An Associated Press dispatch to
Lincoln, Neb., says: Father William
Murphy of Ulysses, famous in Ne
braska through his long litigation
with the late Bishop Bonacum, has

cated in a statement made by Bishop

Murphy will probably be removed to
another parish.

in this case they found their man."
In an "address to the country,"
adopted at the fourth annual conven
tion of the National Independent
Political league, held at Boston,
President Taft is taken to task for his
alleged color discrimination. Tho
address asserts, that President Taft

A New York dispatch, carried by
the Associated Press, savs: The
marital difficulties of Upton Sin
clair, the Utopian colonist and
socialist author, and Meta Fuller Sin
clair, who have been married eleven
years, reached a1 climax when the.
author brought suit for absolute di
vorce, naming Harry Kemp, the poet,
as "co-respondent.
Mrs. Sinclair was asked if she
would fight the divorce proceedings.
"No," she. said. "I have not yet
consulted a lawyer, but my present
intention is not to defend the suit."
When informed of the statutory
grounds which the New York law
provides for the granting of a di
vorce, she said:
"It doesn't seem to me that di
vorce should be a disgrace, even di
vorce obtained upon such grounds
as you say must be shown in this
state,. I believe that an individual
Is justified in pursuing his or her
ideal. I have the misfortune to have
a conservative husband. He is con
servative by instinct and nature, and
a' radical merely by choice. A mono
gamist ought to be able to act the
part of a husband. In other words,
he ought to have some time to devote
to nis wire. 'He should not be so
aosoroed in his work that the true
proportions of human relationship
fades into insignificance beside is
work."
Mrs. Sinclair said that she ex
pected to go away for a rest, and
added that, Mr. Kemp would not ac
company her. She said, hnwrnrn
that both of them might later go on
the stage.' Mr. Sinclair said that ho
was going to his home in Arden.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Mexico City, dated August 30, says:
With no dissenting voice, Francisco
I. Ma'dero today was nominated by
the progressive party for president
of Mexico, but Francisco Vasquez
Gomez, his old running niate and
erstwhile agent of the revolution at
Washington, was grilled by partisans
of three other candidates for the vice
presidency. When the convention
adjourned tonight the candidacy of
no other man than Gomez for the
vice presidency had been considered.
Jose Pino Suarez continued a favorite
in the betting w.Jth Alfredo Robles
Dbmiriguez'as second choice. A bal
lot tonight probably would have re
sulted in a division of honors for
third place between Gomez and
Fernado Igesias Calderon. Madero
was the only candidate for the presi
dency whose name was placed before
the convention. No speech was made.
The chairman announced Madero's
candidacy, went through the for
mality of asking if there were others,
and was greeted by a' chorus of
"noes." One delegate, seated on the
stage attempted to make a speech in
Madero's support. The delegates
shouted him down and called for a
vote. It was unanimous. An instant
later every delegate was on his feet
and to the chorus of "vivas" was
added the cheers of the spectators in
the galleries. For fully "ten minutes
the uproar continued.

The French government sent two
squadrons of cavalry to the Valen
ciennes region with stringent orders
to repress all disturbances growing
out of the war against high prices.
The agitation against high prices
of provisions still continues and
disorders of considerable proportions
have been reported from twelve
places in northern Franco. Tho
usual procedure is for a crowd of
women of the lower class to assemble
and do their marketing together,
carrying large placards on which are
written the prices which the women
are willing to pay. If the shop
keeper assents to sell his goods at tho
price offered, the women buy, but ir
he refuses they throw his stock into
the Btreet.
