protesting against the proceedings, which
he claimed are in violation of the law.

annual or other reports of the defendant
carriers made to the commission as re
quired by law.
Mr. Thome further requested thnt the

further urged that If the documentary evl

record, the commission shall subpoena for
cross-examination such persona as ' have

. Governor Shallenherger has not given up
hope, nor has he given up the fight for tha
nomination. Immediately following the re
count In the final precinct State OH In
spector Mullen, who has heen watching out
for the governor during the recount, filed
with the canvassing board a petition In
which were forty-five different demands
regarding the count.
The member of the canvassing board
held a consultation with County Attorney
English nnd will await his advice before
taking final action. Under the clrcum-
Ftances, . the board having onre decided
against most of Governor Shallenherger's
demands, It Is not likely that the first de

If the board refuses to grant the demands
the only recourse left will be a final fight

What Governor Wants.
As the demands covered something like
twenty typewritten pages, the board mem
bers could not go over them carefully yes

until today.
In a general way, they are as follows: '
Governor Shallenberger demands that
votes counted for Dahlman on a ballot
upon which a vote cast for the constitu
tional amendment' In another party column
be rejected; he demands that all excess bal
lots counted in several precincts he re
jected; he demands that all ballots signed
by only one Judge of election be rejected;
he demands that the two precincts in which
the poll books were returned without the
names of voters be rejected; he demands
that all ballots not signed by two Judges.
meaning those signed by one Judge and one
clerk or by two clerks or by one Judge sign
ing both names, be rejected.

BEVERLY, Mass., Sept. I&.-No dlffer

Taft herearter, but all party leaders will be
treaied alike as republicans in the matter
of federal support. Tho president's views to
this effect are given In a letter from Sec
retary Norton to a republican leader ot
Iowa, whosj name la not disclosed.
In a letter Secretary Norton stated that
while Imporiant republican legislation pend
ing In congress was opposed by certain
republican lenders, the president felt that
his duty required hlin to withhold federal
patronage from senators and representa
tives who seemed to occupy a position hos
tile to efforts to fulfill the pledges of tha
party platform.
That uttltude on the part of the president
ended, however, with the more recent pri
mary elections and nominating conventions
In which tho people have declared them
selves and the president now looks on "pro
gressives" and "regulars" alike as repub
licans and as such entitled to his support
and the support of the party, and the fait

ferences of the last session of congress
shall be perpetuated or forgotten.
