squarely today when Senator Beveridge In

control, wlille James J. 1 1 1 It argued on the
contra ty.
Glfford Plnchot received an ovation that
furnished the most dramatic moment of tho
congress. Ttio former forester, the object
of a wild demonstration by the audience,
stood with tears streaming from his eyd
until tha outburst of cheers had subsided
and the spectators were again In their
all.
, Just what Senator Beveridge was trying
s to any complimentary to Mr. Plnchot was
drowned In the roar thnt rose the moment
. the trend of remarks became apparent.
"Oiffort rinchnnt ' said tho speaker,
and " the outburst started. It grew until
everyone wus yelling; and the whole house
ii on lta feet waving hats and handker
chiefs. Senator Beverldae hud no sooner retired
than cries of "I'lnchot, Plnchot," rang
through tho house. He waa dragged for
ward by President Baker. His voice shook
as he spoke.
"It Is magnificent," he said, "to hear
conservation acclaimed as has been done
1 here tndny. Conservation has won out. 1
- thank you."
Senator Beveridge sounded his keynote
In tho statement that "this Is one nation,
not forty-six nations."
Mr. Hill said there were dangers Insep
arable from national control. The machine
was too big and remote, he Jsald, and Us
operation too alow and costly.

Information to Be Grouped by Cities
Counties and States Instead of
by Subiects.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Census Director
Durand Is preparing for an Innovation In
the publication of detailed Information re
garding the results of the last census. In
stead of grouping the Information according:
to subjects as has heretofore been done
he will present all the information regard.
Ing the people of a .given county or . city
under on heading. Carrying this plan Into
execution, he will begin the publication of
state bulletins about the first of tm year.
There la to be special efforts to distin
guish the urban, from the rural population
In each county and those living in villages
or cities of mora than 2,000 will be assigned
to the former class,
Comparslons with the population of 1900
will be made, the purpose being to show
the tendency of given localities cityward or
countryward. Following this there will be
a classification for each county as to color,
race, nativity, sex, educational qualifica
tions, etc. Statistics regarding voters will
also be presented, affording congress, if it
so desires, an ' opportunity to determine
whether citizens are being disfranchised In
any section of the country, as has been as

"Say. friend." Mandell whispered huskily,

"Sure that's a cat. It's a black rat and

llace In Sixth District
la Granted.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Sept. '.(Special Telegram. )
The State Canvassing board decided thus
morning that any candidate for office
whose vote.-j are canvassed by this board
may secure a recount in any county he
deslrea br filing a request with the stale
board within three days after the final
canvass. The recounting Is to be done by
the county boards.- The state board de
cided this because of the holding by at
least two ceurts that the county canvass
ing boards are the proper beards to' do
tho recounting: The action disposes of the
governor's' request for a recount of the
state so far as the state board is con
cerned. , '
W. H. McCowln of Frontier county waa
declared the winner of the .populist sena
torial nomination in the. Twenty-ninth dis
trict. This selection was made by lot, four
candidates having received one vote each,
their names belog written in.
George D. Sayer, who received sixteen
votes as a populist, did not push his case,
as his name has been printed on the dem
ocratic ballot and under the law It could
not be legally written on any other ballot.
So the attorney for Mr. Sayer sent word
to the board that instead of going Into the
courts he would endeavor to get the popu
list nominee to withdraw. '. '
W. J. Taylor, democratic candidate for
congress in the Sixth district, asked that
the board declare no candidate a winfler
until he had tried out his mandamus suit
In the courts. Taylor is asking that sev
eral ballots which were thrown out by the
county canvassing board of Custer county
be counted for him. For technical reasons
tha board refused to count about half a
dosen ballots. The majority of Judgo Dean
In the district is only three votea, he hav
ing lost two by the recount In Custer and
Buffalo counties. The request was granted.
The poard took a recess Indefinitely.
Tarlor'a Affidavit.
W. J, Taylor. In his affidavit filed with
tha board, set out that ha intends to peti
tion the courts for a mandamus to com
pel the canvassing board of Custer county
to reconvene and count several ballots fcr
him, which were thrown out. He alleges
that he was defeated by five votes for
the democratic nomination for congress in
the Sixth district, but that the recount
In Custer and Buffalo counties had re
duced the majority of J. R. Dean, his
competitor . to three votes. In Custer
county he sets out that two parties voted
the straight democratic ticket except on the
proposed constitutional amendment On
this question the voters marked in the re
publican column. Another ballot he said
was not counted because the voter had
marked a cross after his name In both
the democratic and peoples' independent
columns. Another ballot waa thrown out
because the voter had marked a cross af
ter the name of Walker, a candidate on
both the populist and democratic
tickets in both columns. In all these
cases the voters, Mr. Taylor said, have con
fined themselves to the democratic ballot
except as Indicated. One ballot waa thrown
out because the voter had marked the
cross after the name of Dean and after
Taylor, though it was evident, the affi
davit said, that the voter Intended and tried
to erase the mark after the name of Dean.
First Huruianlous Session.
The board decided that Inasmuch as the
Douglas county district court had held
In favor of the recount by the county
board, this action should govern the
board. Consequently the board decided
that If the application is filed within three
days after It makes its cajnvass, then a
recount will be granted, but the work will
be done by the county board. The state
board holds that no candidate running in
more than one county can have know
ledge of his vote until the state board
acts, so under the law as Interpreted, the
application If made three days after the
state board completea Its work la within
the law.
For the, first time tha board held a har
monious meeting and every vote was
unanimous.

"Please don't get acre officer, but take a

Mayor Scidl Charges Him with Creat
ing Falsa Impression of Socialism.
COLONEL REFUSES TO REPLY
Says Mo Has Mot Talked fartlsnu
Politics on This Trip and Will
1 Kot Do So Guest of the
I'reaa Club.
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 7. Shortly after
Colonel Roosevelt arrived here today and
before he rat down to breakfast at the
Pfvister hotel he found himself Involved
In a controversy with Emil Seldel, tho so
cialist, mayor, who had declined to act on
the reception committee which welcomed
the colonel to Milwaukee.
In a contribution to the "Big Stick," a
newspaper published by the Milwaukee
Press club for this occasion, Mayor Seidel
stated that "If Mr. Roosevelt comes to
Milwaukee holding the same Ideas which
he expressed in his magazine article of
March 0, W09, it Is clear that he cannot
serve the cause of honesty and decency In
American political life."
"It Is possible that I haye misunderstood
the article," stated Mayor Seldel, "but in
asmuch . as I am a socialist and he has
designated socialism a a thing which Is
against morals and religion, abhorent,"
'revolting' which would 'replace the fam
ily and home life by a glorious state of
free lunch counter and a state foundling
asylum' I am sure that he will be pleased
that I am not personally connected with
his reception in the city."
Charging the colonel "with a cunning and
deliberate purpose to create a false im
pression," he declared that the visitor
"could lay no claim to the right of preach
ing either morality, religion or civic right
eousness." , "
"In the speaking tour of Mr. Roosevelt
through the west," said Mayor Seldel, "I
fall to see anything of Importance beyond
political playa and designs. As such, of
course, it Is of no special service to the
present city administration. The problems
that now confront our city are of much
the same nature as those the nation faces."
' Roosevelt Kefuaea to Reply.
On being shown this statement Colonel
Roosevelt promptly said:
"On this trip I have made no partisan
political speeches, and of course shall not
breatc through the rule now by dlscuslng
either state party mailers or municipal
umiieis. ji present, ol course, (.no
dominant municipal party In Milwaukee Is
the socialist party.
"if anyone wishes to know my views on
what !s usually called socialism they will
find them set out In such fashion that It
Is Impossible to misinterpret them or mis
understand them in the magazine articles
to which the ' mayor In hfs letter refers,
and I advise them to read the articles
themselves and not what tha mayor says
of them."
Tho Press club's special publication, "The
Rig Stick." especially disavowed respon
sibility for the mayor's utterance, saying
ilia. "Mr. Roosevelt will understand that
Milwaukee's welcome Is nonetheless wholehearted-hardly
the less unanlmouH-be-caus
the mayor has seen fit to voice a so
cialistic) dislike for the former president of
the nation."
Strenuous Proirram Cut Donn,
In spite of the failure of the mayor to
Join In welcoming Colonel Roosevelt, the
Press club had prepared a most strenuous
rrogram. Including half a dozen speeches
between breayfast and luncheon time.
Realising that this program was Impos
sible of execution they cut It down so
that the morning hours will Include only
visits to the boys' and girls' trade schools,
the colonel making It plain before he
started to Inspect them that lis visit would
be purely one of education for himself and
