FLIES TO LONDON
AMERICAN AVIATOR TRAVELS
FROM PARIS TO LONDON ,
.
CAPTURING PRIZE.
CARRIED SINGLE PASSENGER
Le Blanc Wins $20,000 Purse in Cross
country Race , Having Covered
485 Miles In Less Than 12 Hours-
Latham Craft Wrecked.
London.-The youthful American av-
iator , Moissant , accompanied by his
mechanician , Albert , Wednesday made
a remarkable flight in a biplane from
Paris to London across the English
channel. It was- the first time this
feat was ever accomplished , although
often tried.
Moissant accomplished his remark-
able flight from Paris to Calais and
across the channel in company with
his mechanician , Albert.
By making his remarkable flight he
captures the cup that a London paper
offered and the proceeds of the sub-
scription raised in England for Gra-
ham White , which the unsuccessful
competitor in the London-Manchester
flight offered as an award in the
Paris-London competition.
Hubert Latham , who started from
Issy , a suburb of Paris , to race Mois-
sant to Londpn , met with a series of
accidents , the last at Amiens , cul-
minating In the wrecking of his ma-
chine as he was preparing to resume
the flight. Latham escaped unhurt ,
but -ras out of the race.
The last stage of Moissant's flight , ' I
the trip across the channel , was ac-
complished in a strong channel breeze ,
the wind being BO high that experI-
enced aviators looked upon the start
ac foolhardy. It was such : . a wind
as repeatedly deterred Bleriot , La-
tham and other aviators from at-
tempting the passage of the straits.
Paris , France. - M. Le Blanc , the
aviator , arrived at Issy , in the suburbs
of Paris , at 6:45 a. m. Wednesday
and is the winner of the cross-country
Bight which started August 7. The
distance of the race was approximate
ly 485 miles. The prize is $20,000 , of
fered by a Paris newspaper.
Le Blanc , the winner , covered ; the
circuit In 11:55:59. He used a Bleriot
monoplane.
CALIFORNIA IS INSURGENT
Hiram W. Johnson , Exponent of Anti-
Machine Doctrines , Wins Guber

- .
San Francisco. - California Is In-
surgent in its Republican politics. Hi-
ram W. Johnson , leading exponent of
anti-machine doctrines , has swept the
field in Tuesday's primaries , winning
his party's nomination for governor by
a plurality that will border on 50,000
when all returns are in.
Just how great was the extent of
the disaster to the stalwarts cannot
be known until outlying districts have
been heard from , but every indication
points to a clean-cut declaration by
the party for insurgency and against
the political activities of the Southern
Pacific railway.
Johnson's supporters crowded his
headquarters offering him congratula-
tions. Among his callers was Theodore
Roosevelt , Jr.
It is asserted that the progressives ]
have carried to victory two new In- 4
surgent nominees for congressmen. 1

Bon-ln-Law of Roosevelt Deolares He
Will Not Again Support Danville
Man for Presiding Officer of
House. .
Beverly , Mass.-The fight of the Re
publican party reorganization against
Speaker Cannon was opened by Con
gressman Nicholas Longworth of Ohloj5
son-in-law of ex-President Roosevelt.
In a statement which he issued
Thursday Mr. Longworth declares that
having voted for him in caucus on
four different occasions he has sup-
ported Cannon for the speakership
for the last time and that when the
proper time comes , namely the meet-
Ing of the Republican caucus at the
assembling of the next congress he
will oppose Uncle Joe to that position.
Mr. Longworth makes it clear that
In his view harmony in the Republic-
an ranks and party success depends
upon Cannon's elimination.
"I am absolutely convinced , " he
he says , " that Cannon cannot be again
elected speaker. "
The importance of the Longworth
statement lies not only In the fact
that theA . , Ohio congressman , a long
time friend and supporter of Cannon
issued it , but that it was not given to
the public until after a series of con-
ferences with President Taft and
other leaders that have called here
and that the president was acquainted
with the context of the statement in
advance of its publication , and that
Vice-President Sherman likewise was
Informed Wednesday of the contem-
plated move and gave It his tacit ap-
proval.
It Is said by a high authority that
Mr. Longworth's statement Is only the
first of a series that will be Issued of
a like nature In all sections of the
country by Republican candidates for

of representatives be Republican.
Mr. Longworth Saturday will go over
to Oyster Bay as the guest of his
father-in-law for a few days.
Danville , 111. - "I have no quarrel
with Longworth as to who shall be

I
Is no room for disagreement touching
this matter between Representative
Longworth and myself , " said Speaker
Cannon Thursday after reading a
statement by Representative Long-
worth.
"If any Republican candidate for
congress feels that his position on the
Republican ticket would be strength-
ened by pledging that he will not sup
port me in a Republican caucus I have
no objection to his making : the
pledge. "
