An Associated Press dispatch from
Hartford, Conn., says: The visit of
President Taft to this city and the
state fair at Charter Oak park
brought an immense throng of
people hither from every part of the
state, tho day having particular sig
nificance to them, as it is the first
time that a chief magistrate of the
nation has been the guest of an old
fashioned exhibition of the products
of tho farms of this state.
The disapproval of the position of
tho president on reciprocity by tho
executive committee of the state
grange, which has a very strong hold
among the Connecticut farmers, and
the fact that 'the committee Would
not make the day of the president's
visit grange day, also had kindled
an interest in the event.
President Taft arrived here at
12:30 p. m.
Many thousands of people massed
themselves near the railroad station
while hundreds grouped over the
sloping lawns of Capitol hill.
Gray skies but an enthusiastic
crowd greeted President Taft on his
arrival in fulfilling a long promised
engagement to Senator George P.
McLean.
Nearly 50,000 people gathered at
the fair grounds to hear the presi
dent's views on arbitration.
James J. Gray of Decatur, 111.; sec
retary, John E. Pickering of Spring
field, 111., and treasurer, Millard F.

rally at Springfield, 111., October 4.
Mayor Harrison of Chicago was
suggested for national committee
man from Illinois to succeed Roger
C. Sullivan. The actual organization
work is to be in the hands of a com
mittee consisting of one from each
of the twenty-five congressional dis
tricts of the state.
Mayor Harrison, who presided,
said his duties as mayor gave him
enough to do, and said he would not
be a' candidate for anything, national
committeeman, governor or president.

railways have declared for arbitration..

Senator Cummins addressed the
republican club at Des Moines, la.,
and paid a high tribute to LaFol-
lette. He had not mentioned the
"Wisconsin senator until someone in
the audience asked, "How about La
Follette?"
Senator Cummins was somewhat
indignant when he replied:
"Of course this is an impertinent
question, intended to be an Imperti
nent question, but nevertheless I
have no hesitation in answering It.
I am not here to sow one seed of
discord. I suppose every man here,
and every woman, too, has a right
to his own opinion with regard to
the qualities of men who have made
themselves famous in the work that
is now being done in the United
States. I want to say, however, that
I believe that Senator La Follette Is
a patriot. I believe he has an eye
smgie to trte good of an inflexible
purpose." v
The Iowa Homestead (rep.) has
declared for Senator La Follette for
president.
Speaking at Sioux Falls, S. D.,
Senator Crawford said: "I am for
La Follette. La Follette more nearly
represents the principles and con
victions of our people and for that
reason and because in general I
1 agree with him and admire his
supero courage ana cumiuauuiuB
ability. I shall support his candi
dacy for the republican nomination
for president."
A progressive republican banquet
was held at Minneapolis and resolu
tions adopted, declaTing in favor of
La Follette for the republican presi
dential nomination.

A Columbus, O., dispatch carried
by tho Associated Press, says:
Weather conditions in Ohio were
miserable for the municipal pri
maries, and what promised to be a
battle of ballots in most of the cities
of the state dwindled to almost
nothing. The vote was perhaps the
lightest ever cast in the state.
The liquor question was the prin
cipal issue in the larger cities of the
state. The drys won out in some
of the cities- which had been under
control of a wet mayor, and the wets
were victorious in several of the
