' (From a Staff , Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. .-(SpeclaJ.)-When
the bull moose electors on tlie republican
ticket were called into conference with
Chairman Epperson last Friday all can
didates' eyes were turned toward Lincoln,
for the result of that conference might
mean the winning or the losing of the
election for the republican state ticket
It was all in vain and many wondered
why these men could not see that the
success of the state ticket .was of more
importance than their retention upon the
republican ticket as Roosevelt electors.
But now the secret of their perlstenoy
in sticking to the ticket Is out A local
bull moose paper charges Manager Frank
P. Corrick of the Roosevelt party as be
ing responsible for the failure of the Ep
person plan to , work. It makes the
charge that Mr. corrick Is responsible
for pulling the trick and says: "It is
claimed by the state candidates that Cor
rick has all along tried to prevent the
withdrawal on the ground that It would
work to the disadvantage of Roosevelt
It is simply a case of the Corrick influ
ence being' stronger than the' Epperson
Influence." ; " - . ! . ;
The ' same paper quotes another, state
candidate as saying, "I paid the pro
gressives some money for use in . the
campaign, but they will get no more
from me.. Not only Is Corrick doing
nothing for the state ticket, but he has
tried to hondlcap us as much as pos
sible in this electorial situation." ,
V; Trouble to 'Lancaster. ,
While the two ' state committees of
the bull moose party seem- to be looking
ccosswlse at each other, trouble Is brew
ing In the bull moose camo In Lancaster
county. Wherflhe county convention held
its memorable session and the bull moose
fellows i captured the organization, and
ran the steam roller over the Taft dele
gates, forcing them to hold another con
vention and jwlect' a county committee
of their own, the bull mooe convention,
recognising the fact that the county
committee was made up bf true blue re
publicans,' who would probably- elect a
real , republican- as chairman; 4 selected
George A. Adams as. chairman .of the
county committee. Mr; Adams s a full
fledged bull mooser and is working tooth
and nail for Roosevelt, ad Paul Clark
for congress. ' A meeting of the new
county committee ' was held soon after
the convention and after the meeting
was called to order, Mr. Adams discov
ered ; that the Taft ' republicans had a
majority. By steam roller - methods -he
refused ' to entertain motions and the
meeting ' of the ; committee was ad
journed. Since that time ; Mr. - Adams
has refused to call- another meeting and
It is charged by some of the members
of the county committee that he is neg
lecting his duties as chairman and 1s
putting in his efforts to elect the bull
moose candidate for congress. V., .' .
' -May Take Adams Over.
' In the meantime the regular republican
committee organised and elected Judge
E. P. Holmes, a member of the repub
lican state executive committee, chair
man of the' county committee and the
judge has since that time begun sys
tematic effort to put Mr. Adams on the
political hot- griddle and has succeeded
to a great extent Next Saturday the
county committee will meet, and If Mr,.
Adams does not get good and do busi
ness properly the committee proposes to
toss htm over the transom and elect an
other man. , ;
While all this is going on former re
publicans who have been chasing the
Roosevelt will 'o the wisp are getting dis
gusted with the whole situation and are
flocking to President Taft in a way that
spells disaster to the bull moose herd.

s V His 8trt In Politics. .
Just out of college, and elected In 1881
to the assembly in Albany by a repub
lican constltuenpy, he became a mischief
maker, a "better than his party" man, an
"independent" in the legislature. -,Men
eminent neither then nor since in
reform were his associates against the
regular party organization. He thought
that conduct would murk a short cut to
the speakership and he became a candidate
for speaker, but was defeated by the regu
lar party candidate, Titus Sheard. ;
Faint , hearts In the party then were
disturbed by the noise he made. He next
appeared as a delegate-at-large to the re
publican national convention In 1S84. Nor
could he agree with the dominant senti
ment of the party In New York, for-
Elalne's nomination, but supported George
F. Edmunds of Vermont, causing a break
in the state delegatloh. -
Recently he assailed Edmunds viciously
because .that revered stateman. opposed
the recall of Judges. After Blaine's nomi
nation for the presidency, this man sulked j ests In the state.
In the campaign until near Its close, when
he gave half-hearted support to Blaine,
whom he leared would be elected.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13,-Commerce be
tween the eastern and western coasts of
the United States by way of, the Isth
muses of Panama and Tehuantepec shows
a remarkable growth In recent years.
Figures Just made public by the bureau
of foreign and domestlo commerce of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
show that this traffic has trebled In Value
In the last four years.. Prior to 1W7 all
merchandise passing between the east
ern and western coasts of the United
States by way of the' Isthmus utilised
the Panama railway. At the beginning of
1907, however, a railway line 190 miles
In length was opened across the Isthmus
of Tehuantepeo In southern Mexico, con
structed with special facilities for trans
ferring merchandise from vessel to rail
way and jrajway. to vessel, and since that
date this traffic on' both the Panama
and Tehuantepec , railway,', ; lines, ' hat
grown very rapidly and amounted M , the
fiscal: year 1913 to 1126,000,000 in value,
against 336,000,000 In 1908. These figures,
which include only domestic . merchan
dise passing by way, of the isthmus, be
tween the eastern and 'western coasts of
the United States (Including, however,
Porto Rico as among the eastern ! and
Hawaii among the western ports) suggest
that a still greater growth in this traffic
between the eastern and western coasts
is likely to develop with the opportunity
for vessel shipments without breaking
bulk at the isthmus which will come with
the opening of the Panama canal. .
Tehn&ntnepeo Responsible.
.The chief growth In this coast to coast
traffic by way of the Isthmus has de
veloped, as above Indicated, since the
opening of the Tehuantepec railway. ' The
