Score of letter from men prom inent In the various pursuits have been re ceived by the National CJvIc federation, under whose auspices tho conference 1b to be held. Almost without exception the ex pressions of the writers are highly com mendatory, and the opinion that great good will result from the exchange of Ideas ap pears to bo general. Among those who have written In this vein are the Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, D.

Dr. Abbott, In his letter voices the sen timent which runs through all the com munications when he says: "Tills la a time when we need light, not heat." Nearly (.11 the writers believe that the greatest good Will come from the wide publicity which will be given the'trust question as a result Of oren discussion by"the leaders of thought who will taka part In the conference. "It seems to me fundamentally true," writes Dr. Abbott, "that the Interests of the rail roads, the shippers and the general pub lic nre essentially one, and that It Is of the utmost Importance that men represent ing all these classes should get together, com pure views and endeavor to come to aotr.ti agreement as to the general prin ciple!! by which these common Interests can be best served." Mr. Gilder believes that "this talk will help to bring calmness and coolness to the rurUtnlnd, and heaven knows It needs themw Judge C) rouse up says that It Is full time that the corporations "which have rown iip.as developments of our business life without much reference to their rela tion to the people as Institutions of, and for, the people, be looked Into as Insti tutions of, and for, the people." Bishop Potter believes that by "bringing the whole subject of the administration of corpora-' Hons Into the light we may be assisted by the best Intelligence of the' land" in clear ing up a subject concerning which there Is "so much Ignorance and so much curious misapprehension." Good In Discussion. That tho conference will be productive of much good In that It will allow all sides to meet and freely express their opinions on what he regards aa one of the greatest subjects the country has to don I with. Is the opinion of President Qompers. John Mitchell also aees much possible good tn open and free discussion. Mr. Dawes re gards the calling of the conference at this time aa a highly useful piece of work. He believes that the Industrial problems confronting the country today, demand consideration by the best brains of the nation. The questions to be discussed at the conference are declared by President Btahl of the Farmers congress to be "the most Important pressing for solution before our people today." Grand Master Bachel Jer, believes It la time "for serious people o discuss the trust problem when President Roosevelt and the law officers of the government, whose duty It Is to enforce the Sherman anti-trust act, openly say that under It the business of the country can pot be done today without violating It." NEW RULES FOR SOLDIERS War Department Issue Orders and Derisions la Cuae Pending Before It. WASHINGTON. Sept. I. The War de partment has decided not to Interfere to secure exemption of retired officer and enlisted men of the army front Jury duty. It I said, however, that retirement doe npt change the statu of such men, for they still remain a part of the army and are entitled to exemption on account of being on military duty. The state courts, It I believed, may be depended upon to determine what civic duties by retired soldiers do not Interfere with military duty. An amendment to the army regulations has been adopted which revoke the au thority heretofore exercised by department commander with relation to soldiers un ler sentence of a court-martial. Officer srho have ordered a court-martial will no longer be permitted to pardon or mitigate punishment adjudged by such a court. All appeals for leniency must bo sent to the War department.

I-ONDON, Sept. 1 The formal conclu sion of the Anglo-Russian convention Is w-elcomert in Great Britain as ending the years of misunderstanding between the two powers In respect to the near and far east. It is also welcomed as remov ing the fear of many Kngllshmcn that sooner or later Russian commerce would threaten the Indian empire. The terms of the convention will not be divulged until foreign governments are fully ac quainted therewith, but the gist of the agreement has been known for months. The convention particularly defines the line of action between Great Britain and Russia will follow in Persia, Thibet und Afghanistan. In Persia spheres of Influence are defi nitely fixed. Russia maintains Its posi tion in the north and Great Britain In the south of that country. Groat Britain is thus relieved of anxiety that HussU Is scheming to secure a port on the Per sian gulf. When Lord Landsdowne was foreign secretary he, declared that tny attempt on the part of Russia todo this would mean war. Tho other governments Interested In Persia have been assured that the convention does not threaten the integrity of the country, and for this reason the question of the Bagdad rail road Is left to future negotiations be tween the powers, Including Germany and France. The convention is understood to guarantee the maintenance of the pres ent position of Afghanistan and Thibet. CORONER'S JURY AT WORK Thirteen Iloille Have Been Recov ered front Wreck of Quebec Bridge. QUEBKC, Sept. 1. Up to a late hour tonight no more bodies had been takun from the debris of the Quebec cantilever bridge. At noon the coroner's Jury, which include several manufacturers, was sworn In and viewed the thirteen bodies at the morgue, the Inquest was adjourned until Tuesday. This afternoon the Jury visited the scene of the accident, also viewing tho bodies of Hardy, and Croteum. who lived near tho bridge. Tho scene at the morgue was pathetic, as the relatives of some of the victims saw the latter for the first time. One of the Indians Is minus his head, and his arms torn off. Others had parts of their legs torn away, and nil thirteen bodies were badly muttluted. There are still all kinds of rumors as to the number of victims, but according to Thursday night pay list, eighty-six men were at work when the brtoge went down, eleven being Injured, fifteen taken out, of the debris, and sixty still missing. Four official of the Phoenix Bridge company arrived late thl afternoon. They will visit the scene of the accident tomorrow. J. S. Deane had an Interview with Mr. Parent and the former admitted that no fault could be found with either of the piers and was surprised that they stood tho strain of fall ing steel. Up to Thursday, Mr. Deane says, everything worked to perfection. The government commission will begin It in vestigation in the courthouse Thursday. GLOVER MAKES STATEMENT Son of Mrs, Eddy Says Ha Satisfied with Result of Suit. 1 DEADWOOD, a D., Sept. l.-George W. Glover, son of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder of the Christian Science church. who Just returned from Concord, N. H., has given out for publication a statement re lative to the dismissal of the suit for an accounting brought by himself and others as "next friends" of Mrs. Eddy, against Calvin A. Frye, et al. The statement says In part: The fact has been dlsclnsed that Mrs. Eddy was worth over $1,000,00(1, when It had been claimed that she was worth only about $M,nno. Five days after the suit was brought she was constrained to put substantially all her property Into the hands of three trustees and safeguard It In much the same way that we meant to protect It when we brought the suit. The result was enough. I stand ready to de fend the rights of my mother and my rights as her only child as her heir. For the present I am satisfied with having forced the execution of the trust deed, which has taken the control of her prop erty out of the hands of the men In whom 1 have no confidence. My only regret Is that my mother Is to be kept by them a virtual prisoner In her own home during the remainder of her life. This feeling Is embittered by the fact that while In Concord, N. H., my daughter and I were not permitted to see her unless we agreed to conditions which our sense of honor rendered impossible.

TEN THOUSAND CALLED TO ARMS Officers Better Equipped sal Superior In Military Skill and Ability, bat Army Is Too Small. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Sept. I. (Special.) "Offi cers of our army are better equipped in all respects and are mora efficient than army .officers ever were In the history of the country. In military skill and ability they are superior to any officers of the armies of the world." Secretary Taft before starting on hi tour of the world took pardonable pride in making this statement. It was made In no boastful way, but was uttered merely a a statement of fact which careful Inquiry and comparison have made evident. The secretary went on to say that Ameri can army officers now know more about their business than they ever knew before; that they are more thoroughly trained than any officers have heretofore been; and ven tured the assertion that American officers "are better equipped In Intelligence and efficiency than the officer of any other army In the world." Secretary Taft made It clear that the real embarrassment under which the Ameri can army labors at present Is a lack of experienced enlisted men. "At present," he said, "we have an army of only fifty five thousand men. We ought to have sixty-five thousand as provided by law. Of course, I understand the argument that. Is used In support of a small army. We have no need at the moment for a large army and It Is urged that, It war should break out, we could raise quickly an immense volunteer force. The civil war 1 Indicated as an example of what we may do with a volunteer army. Preparing; for Eventualities. "Mind you, I am not looking for war. It may be a long time before this country again become involved in war; but we ought to be prepared for eventualities. We cannot raise, equip and discipline an army In a few hours or a fow weeks. The armies which comprised the union forces during the civil war constituted the best volunteer fighting force ever assembled on earth; but It required months, even years for them to become Inured to the trials and hardships and the fire of real war. Of course, we could raise a volun teer army, In an emergency, but that would take time. Meanwhile we ought to keep the regular army up- to Its maximum strength, Under the law. To do this, it will bo necessary to make the service attractive. Condition must be made uch In the ser- vlce -as to bring Into the military service the highest standard of any army. In order to bring about this result perhaps some change will have to be made In the law providing for mor pay tor enlisted men and other change in conditions." No secret is made of the fact that a vigorous effort I to be made in the near future to Induce congress to author! the re-establlshment of th canteen in the army. It l maintained by trnry officers who-'have studied the situation that the abolition of the canteen ha done more to render army life unattractive to the en listed man than any other one thing. From Secretary Taft down, practically every official of the .War department favor the restoration of the canteen. They know from practical every-day experience what the situation Is and there Is not a depart ment or post commander In the service who ha not declared that the present condition in the vicinity of army post is demoralii tng and Intolerable. By the re-establlshment of the canteen, those conditions sub stantially would be eliminated; discipline In the service would be Improved; and the eervlce Itself made more .attractive. Quartermaster's Report. The first report of the new quartermas ter general of the army, James B. Ale- hlre, shows In every subject considered, not only a comprehensive knowledge of the needs of the great department of the army, but a sympathetic Interest In the broadening and developing of the depart ment over which he has been called upon to preside, vice Major General Charles F. Humphrey, retired. Unlike many soldiers, General ATeshlre believes in diving credit to whom credit is due, and In the first paragraph of his report to the secretary of war he show the stuff he is made of by paying a most deserved compliment to General Hum phrey, who, he ays, "had planned and outlined in memoranda the scope of the report and his Idea have been followed a closely as possible. It Is desired and deemed proper that General Humphrey sign this report, but his absence from the city and the Impossibility of delay ing it submission prohibited." The report Is an exceedingly Interest ing document, following closely In the footsteps of the reports made by General Aleshire' Immediate predecessor, who 1 deservedly classed in army circles the best quartermaster general the depart ment ha ever had. Having served with General Humphrey during the campaign in China and the Philippine, the younger man ha Imbibed th enthusiasm and the fearlessness of the older and it Is I very generally predicted that General j Aleshire will more than meet the re quirements of the position which 1 growing harder to fill every year by reason of th work required In tho tuar termaster general' department. Supply System In Philippines. It 1 to General Aleshire that the larg est measura of credit for having estab lished, while chief quartermaster In the Philippines, a system of supplies for mil itary posts on th coast throuen water transportation. General Aleshire took up j and perfected by means of transports a thoroughly equipped system whereby all coast stations In the Island were visited regularly by transports, thereby afford ing tho troops an opportunity to gei fresh meats and vegetables, beside mall, clothing and other supplies. Befor he became chief quartermaster of the Philippine th troops In th far east were compelled to depend upon Irregular boajs, and sometime for week at a time our soldiers wer compelled to go without fresh meat or vegetable, depending upon the native for subsistence. All this General Aleshire changed. After General Humphrey left tho Philippine ho was placed in charge of th water I and land transportation In Manila, and he performed the duties in so spIcnLd a manner that he won tho heartiest of congratulations from liU superiors. When General Humphrey became quartermue ter genera) his assistant was Colonel Pond, now on the retired Hat, and upoa tho retirement of General Pond, having succeeded to the rank of brigadier gen eral on retiring. General AJeahlr was made principal sniatant to General Humphrey and, very naturally, should succeed him. Perhaps no better Idea cn tv obtained of the maanltudo of the department to the management of which General Aleshire hss been called than ny simply considering that It had at Its disposal during the fiscal year ending June Jo, 1907, appropriations aggre gating S33,581.7K. Since the occupancy of Cuba hy our American soldiers and felicit ously called "the army of pacification" the quartermaster' department ha extended for this occupancy $2.561970. which Is reim bursable to the American treasury by the Cuban government when It gets oj its feet once more. General Aleshire calls attention to the fact that larger appropriations' must he made for hf department, due to the In creasing cost of labor and supplies. He say the Increase of cost In almost oil directions la of such general knowledge that he doe not deem it wloe to cite any Seciflc casp. At times It hs been necessary to submit deficiency estimates, omettmes for Targe sums, but in some of the deficiency estimate they have arisen thfough causes no human foresight could anticipate and others. General Aloshlr says, msy be expected In the future. While the quartermaster, general makes a plea for economy, he kelleves It bad economy to cut down estimate on the theory that a policy which looks only to the Immediate saving of money may In the end prove most uneconomical. f Propose Remount Division. One of tho subjects which Is close to tho quartermaster general,. 1 that of th re mount service to which great attention Is now being given European armies. In hi report he recommends tho establishment of a separate division of the quartermaster general's office to be known as "the Re mount Division" and under charge of an officer of the quartermaster' department. especially selected by the secretary of war on the recommendation of tho quartermas ter general of the army, who would super vise all purchase of animals. In addition to the main office located In the quarter master general' office, General Aleshire recommends that there should be established near to the great horse raising sections of the country, three Or four remount depots, where hore could be purchased and where the tandards desired could be Insisted upon. It would be the business of the officers in charge of these remoum depot to keep a record of tho number and class of horse in the remount district, how bred, by whom owned, and where located. The object and purpose of theso district being to give to each remount depot a particular ectlon of the United State from which to receive its uppi of young horses. There is no intention on the part of the quartermaster general to es tablish breeding farms in certain sections of the country, a has been erroreously reported, the only object of General Ale shire being to raise the tandard of horses and mule in th army, secure younger horses and mule and. If possible, have them educated for the service for which they are Intended at the time of purchase. These and many other things are taken up and discussed in one of tho most interest ing reports which ha been prepared by a government official. SHETLAND CLAIMS ATTENTION Statesmen Asfifl Whether Island Should Be'Glren Back to . Norway GLASGOW, Sept. 1. (Specll.)-Snould the ShetWnd bo handed back to Norway? Thl wa the question put-to the premier recenUy by Mr. Cathcart .Wason, the lib eral member of Parliament for Orkney and Shetland. Mr. Wason, however, disclaimed any desire to break up the British Isles. He admitted that he had phrased hi ques tion In such a manner to attract public attention. It is not generally known that the Orkney and Shetland Islands wero formerly the property of Norway and were formerly given up by that country. James III of Scotland married Margaret, the daughter of King Christian of Norway in 1468. and when the marriage treaty was made It was agreed that ner aowry bihiu.u , be 60,000 florins. When the time 10 pay came King Christian found that his treas ury was empty and he gave the islands In pledge, agreeing to redeem them when he could raise the money. The debt has never been paid and the islands have thus remained a Scottish possession. The people of the islands are almost pure Norse In blood, and until the end of the eighteenth century they spoke the Norse language. Many Norse words are still retained in their dialect, and they have little In common with the Scots of the mainland, whom they regard as for eigners. Mr. Wason declare that the grievance of the Shetlanders are serious and distressing. "The herring fishery," he said, "the mainstay of the Islanders, has already been ruined on one side and Is getting worse on the other side. All the whales are being destroyed, and it Is the whale which drive the herring Inshore. Norwegian and Scotch companle have ta tlons on the Islands and carry on th work of whalo killing. These enormous animals, seventy or eighty feet In length, and com paratively valueless, are dragged ashore, skinned for the blubber and then the car cass 1 left to rot. Th mussel beds re ii,.e,i so that the bait of the fishermen Is destroyed and masses of the putrefying e..h flo.t about the "voes." ueaa animais make life almost intolerable. The only j aolutton Is for the secretary ior to uprress the whaling stations. Fishing Is being prosecuted now four times as far from land as formerly, and almost wholly I w " Hft.rs. while the native .ailing j by steam aruiers, mi ..- vw. have seldom reached the shoals, Ujr liruoi . , , , , Mr Wason declares that the Shetlanders have often complained of the grievous wrongs they have suffered at the hands rf the Scot, end he Is determined to have them redressed. MESSAGE NEVER DELIVERED Tarty Addressed Drops Dead as Boy Was Handing Telegram to Him. Charles Fries, residing at 2906 Iaard street, fell dead at his home Saturday night Just as a messenger boy handed him tele gram which he had called to deliver. Tt messenger rapped at the door and Fries told him to walk In. The boy stepped In side the house and handed his delivery book t Fries. The latter was tn the act Df signing the delivery sheet when he placed his hand over his heart and fell back across a bed ar.d expired before as sistance could reach him. The boy was badly frightened, but when he came to hi senses ran across the slrevt and told Fries' neighbors of the occurrence and they called a phy!j'lan. When the latter called he pronounced Fries dead. Fries has been sick for several months and for tha last two we.ks had been con fined to hi bed. He got up today for the Brat time.

REESE PAPERS SHOW THEIR HAND One Advise Populists to Bntt In on Republican Primaries and Another Threaten the Supreme Court. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 1. (Special.) o far a th campaign for nomination on the state ticket I concerned, it la all over but the voting and the waiting, and the waiting for th return promise to bo the mosttedlous part of it. As might naturally have been expected, report come from all over Nebraska to the ef fect that there I much confusion and misunderstanding as to the various features of the new direct primary law, and this. Its first trial In practical opera tion, Is sure to disclose Its defect. Th attorney general ha been busy all week answering letter asking advice a to th meaning of different sections, and In spite of all this the chances are good that the plain Intent of the law will not be carried out In all the counties. There is a suspicion that those Interested in different candidacies are advising th voters contrary to the accepted practice In primary election and utrotchlng points n order to open the door to the count ing of questionable votes. The paper edited by F. H. Abbott at Aurora, and which ha been the chief mouthpiece of the Rees boomers, openly flaunt thl appeal In Its editorial columns: "If you are a populist who Intends to support a majority of the republican candidates, you should call for a repub lican ballot at the voting place." Dana-er In the Course. This instruction out of the Rees head quarter has called for a severe rebuk. One of the Sedgwick folk decleare "that it simply show tha t Rees I working to get the populists to give htm a republican nomination, and that Ills friends are wilfully defying- the pur pose of the direct primary law. If a man Is a populist, he should call for a populist ballot and use his vote to help name the populist candidates. Any known populist or democrat, trying to break Into the republican primaries should be promptly challenged. Th primary law set out in detail the question to be propounded to him when challenged, and truthful answers to them will bar any one from casting a republican ballot un less he want to be known aa an avowed republican." Threat from Perkins Paper. The tallend of the press bureau cam paign has resolved Itself Into mere rep etition of appeals for support of the op posing candidates, respectively, and tha reason for and against them, already thoroughly rehashed. Tho only new thing worth ' mention is notice given through the St. Paul Republican, which 1 tha personal property of Clark Perkins, sec retary of the state committee, now snugly berthed a secretary of th railway com mission, that the fight on Judge Sedg wick In th nam of reform I only the first step In a movement to dislodge the whol membership of the auprem court. Perkins' paper, among other thing, say: "Another reason for not upport!ng Judge Sedgwick Is that a large percent age of the republican voters have de cided that the supreme Judge must go as fast as they can legally be disposed of. Supreme effort .have been made of late to fumigate and ventilate the stat house, and so far as the legislative and executive department extend have been quite effective. While satisfactory re sults have been secured so far, th people are unsatisfied. They demand an entire change in the highest tribunal of the state. Several unfortunate decisions have been handed down (whether technical or not) with which many of the rank and ( fi,e Rre dlBpieaBea They insist upon a new deal. Fusion Doesn't Fuse, On the democratic and populist side no excitement Is visible. The populists are muttering under their brath at the. work of the democrats, trying to stampede the supreme Judgshlp nomination to Judge Loomls, after promising it to Judgo Alberts, the populist. The friends of Judge Albert Insist that they have not had a square deal, and will not look pleas ant If he 1 thrown down. WIXDIP OF LANCASTER CAMPAIGN Judge Allen W. Field Taken Shot at tha Bar Ticket. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. L (Special.) As a last act of the Lancaster county campaign, Judge Allen W. Field took a shot at tha Lincoln lawyers In trying to dictate the nominees for Judicial honors, thus pre venting a half doxen good, reliable, well though of lawyer from submitting their name to tho voter. Judge Field ha for year fought for the passage of a primary law and as a member of the resolution committee of various state conventions has Insisted that the primary law be a plank in the platform. He claim th action of the lawyer nullifies the primary law and should be rebuked at the poll next Tues day. Had the bar kept it hand off th j hift. The tlmbermen have been recelv selectlon of candidates. Judge Strode and Ing $3.50 per day and their helpers $3 per nair dozen other lawyer would have been candidate, but a the bar made a "ate tnese menkept out of the fight. The action of the bar In trying to dictate nominations have been resented over th county, but whether It will be defeated at the poll It I Impossible to tell. Beside the fight over the Judgshlps, there are lively scrap on over th office of district clerk, coroner and county assessor, the result In each being much In doubt. The gates to the state fair grounds will be thrown open to the public tomorrow and the Indications point to a most succeisfu! week. During the last few months thou sands of dallar have been spent In better ing the ground and the visitor will be treated to several agreeable surprises. Dur ing the day many visitors passed through the gates and many workmen were kept busy putting tha last touches on the tooths, while several race horse men warmed up their pets on the race track. Lincoln last night turned on its lights, which will be used nightly during the fair, and the sight was beautiful. O street, from the postofflce to Nineteenth street and for a block north and south on each side. of the business part of town, hav been arched over with thoussnds of electric bulbs, while the rlty hall and many of the business houses have been gorgeously decorated.

Mont.. vSrpt. l.-(Speclal.)-Although Uncle Sam conducted a lottery In disposing of the Irrigated farms under the Huntley Irrigation project, many of those who p.layed It have learned that tho ticket were not transferable; that no profit was to be mado off the winnings, except by actual acceptance of the land. They have come to understand that It was a case of taking a farm or leaving It to someone else. The rights they secured could not be utilized for speculative pur poses, as they were not transferable. Thus those who registered for the draw ing under the Impression that they could sell their number or ticket and make a little easy money have not been heard from since. There were others wno were un able to raise the required money to make their flrBt payment on the land; they, too, have been dropped from the list of for tunate ones. With the speoulatora, tho impecunious "and those who registered simply to try their "luck," of whom there were many hundred, and who had no In tention of filing on land even though they were fortunate enough to secure first choice, eliminated, matters have adjusted themselves to a solid bast. Up to date about 12S have filed on land comprised within the project, leaving something like 460 farm to be disposed of. These vary In size from forty to 150 acre each, with the average of Irrigable land to each unit about forty acres. Since Au gust 23 the unclaimed land has been open to entry under the homestead law, which mean that five year of actual residence and cultivation are required before title may be obtained. In addition to which tha entryman must pay the cost of reclamation and the price agreed upon with the Crow Indiana, 4 an acre, Tno land liseii is among in mosi ae- slrable In the Yellowstone valley and the Tho land Itself I among th most de fact that a majorlty of those who have o far made entries are resident of this section and thoroughly familiar with the land and condition hould be accepted as evidencing it value and faith in the nrofltableness of Its cultivation.

What make the land particularly desirable Is its proximity to the sugar factory at Billings. The company ha obligated Iteelf to erect receiving tatlon at convenient place on the tract and 1 prepared to enter Into contracts for all the beets grown, at 15 a ton delivered at th re ceiving stations. A the yield 1 from ev enteen to twenty ton n acre and the cost of cultivation not to exceed $40 an acre, beet raising should bo profitable and the eniryman should have no difficulty In making payments on his land, which extend over a long period, ten years. Al falfa, fruit and general crops may be raised with most excellent result. To the man satisfied with a moderate sized farm, with an assured market for everything he raise and a perpetual right to an abun dance of water for Irrigation and all other purposes, the government hold out excep tional inducement In the claim that may be had at Huntley.

TAIL FOR THE BRYAN KITE Warfleld nnd Johnson Are gested by Mayor Jim Su Dahlman. Governors Johnson of Minnesota and Warfleld of Maryland will be two men available for the next democratic ticket a the tall to Colonel Bryan' kite, according to Mayor Dahlman, who I keeping close watch of the situation. Of course tha mayor will concede to no on but the Peer less Leader the right to head the ticket next fall. "I don't believe Bryan will Interfere tn the selection of a candidate for vice presi dent," said the mayor, discussing th situation. "It is hard to say who will b named. The south may demand representa tion and If It does some southern man will be nominated. Governor Warfleld is strong man, strong with the people and a wonderful vote getter. His nomination would undoubtedly satisfy the south and would strengthen the ticket. "If Johnson of Minnesota Is named for second place, I predict Minnesota will go for Bryan. I believe he Is strong enough with the people to carry the state. And he would be a good man for the place, too. But, as I said before, I don't believe Bryan will try to dictate the nomination of any man. "Of course, Bryan will be the nominee for president. When the people are united on one man as they are on Bryan, the leaders coudn't beat him if they wanted to. I think that even Colonel Watterson will Join In his support. It is a whole lot better, In politics to climb In the tand wagon when you can, than to be left stand ing by the side of the road. Hearst won't rut much lc a a candidate, but lie might run a an Independent candidate. He could not do much, though." New Governor Reaches Home. HOT STRINGS, 8. D., Sept 1. (Special). Dr. K. T.
