Repabllpane Real Proaresalves.
That progressive doctrines can and will
be best established through the agency
of the republican party Is the convincing
belief which has determined many voters
to give no further heed to those whose
chief purpose la acknowledged to be, to
destroy that party, wKh a record replete
with progressive legislation.
The republican party and Its continu
ance In power, It is perceived. Is worth
more to the cause of real progreas In the
I'nlted States than all the promises of
Its co-destructlonlsts.
F. M., Murphy, a rromlnent railroad
man of the southwest, has analysed the
campaign In these words: "Many men
are ready listeners to the political clap
trap of the demagogue, but theX are not
necessarily fooled or hypnotised. Men li?
all lines do their own thinking these
days, and they are not apt to vote against
their own Interests. That's why the
president will be re-elected."
Discussing the third termer's western
and southwestern trip, Mr. Murphy says
further: "Roosevelt's visit to our section
did lilm'ntf good.' He nndrrtibtedly108t
rather than gamed votes. He talked a
great deal about himself but serious
people are tired of the topic and the ex
hibit He tried to have the voters in the
Mississippi valley believe that if elected
president, he would deepen the Mississippi
river by utilising the employes now at
work on the Panama canal. We expected
he would request as a reward that the
Mississippi then should be cnanged to
'Roosevelt' river. In Illinois he held out
similar promises, concerning the drainage
canal, and some of us would have no
objection to giving his name to a drainage
canal."
totes Are ot Bread.
After all the cry for a change to some
thing we know naught of, for a return
to a government "of the people" as if
this bad been other than the people's
government since the constitution was
adopted the voters have given timely';
heed to President Tsft'B significant words
"Votes are not bread, constitutional
amendments are not work, referendum
do not pay rent or furnish houses, re
calls do not furnish clothing, initiatives
do not supply employment, or relieve In
equalities of condition or of opportunity."
Senator Ellhu Root in his speech noti
fying President Taft of his renomlnation,
said: Tou are for progress along all the
lines of national development, but for
progress which still preserves the good
we already have and holds fast to those
essential elements of American institu
tions which have made oor country pros.
perout and great and free. Tou repre
sent the spirit of kindly consideration by
every American citlsen, toward all his
fellows, respect for the right of adverse
opinion, peaceable methods of settling dif
ferences, the spirit and the method which
make ordered and peaceful self-government
possible, as distinguished from in
tolerance and hatred And violence."
That Is the stature of tbe man who will
be re-elected president of the United
States.

Today will mark an epoch in the com-
mercial history of Omaha. Today the
Commercial club, which was born nine
teen years ago and started its work
for the upbuilding of Omaha Industry
In the small Quarters at the top floor
of the Board- of Trade building, Six
teenth and Farnam streets, will estab
lish itself In the two capacious top floors
of Woodmen of the World building, Four
teenth and Fa mam streets.
Today marks an epoch i in Omaha's
commercial history because of the fact
that the Commercial club, which is the
barometer of business growth and ac
tivity In this city, has expanded to twice
Its sise In the last two years, many
hundred times its original size, and
forced Itself into the largest and hand
somest home of the kind In the United
states. And It goes in there with the
largest membership of any similar or
ganization In the country and free from
debt
This event will be celebrated Monday
night at the new quarters by a recep
tion which will last from ,8 o'clock until
11, when members and their families will
go through the beautiful rooms and see
what the expansion is and probably real
ise what It means.
It la hoped to have everything In Its
regular order for this opening, with ad
ditional decorations throughout espe
cially for the occasion. Practically all
the furniture, draperies and decorations
are now In place. v '

EW TORK, Oct. 30.-Wttnesses in the
trial of Police Lieutenant Becker testified
today to two points which the defense
considered vital to Its case. These are:
That the raid on Herman Rosenthal's
gambling house on April 17 was made
after evidence) against it bad been ob
tained by the police. The Stat charges
that the raid was a "fake."
That "Bald Jack" Rose and "Bridgle"
Webber, two of the self-confessed accom
plices to Rosenthal's murder, who have
turned state's evidence, threatened to kill
Rosenthal weeks before be was murdered.
Another witness, Louis Plttt brother of
Becker's so-called press agent, swore that
Jack Rose had gone down on his knees
in the Tombs and said: '
"On the grave and on the memory of
my dead mother, I say that Becker bad
nothing to do with ttla affair."
Other witnesses, a police Ueuteoant and
his wife, testified that they had visite
Tecker at hut home on the night of
July 17. forty-eight hours after Rosenthal
was shot and that Becker was there from
10:4 o'clock uitll they left at U.4S o clock.
Jack Rose has testified that he was with
Becker elsewhere during thoee hours.
lobby, are the offices of the club, the
rooms for the commissioner and his as
sistant the traffic bureau and publicity
bureau. On the south side of this hall
is the women's rest room, for the women
visitors. It is furnished with Elizabethan
furniture and replete with everything;
suggestive of luxurious comfort. The
house committee paid more for the fur
nishings of this little room than for any
other single office room In the quarters.
Of the $18,751.21 which was spent for the
furnishings and equipment of the new
Quarters, quite little sum came out
for this room.
Furniture Striking.
The furniture and woodwork of the
entire place is of Circassian walnut The
offices are equipped wtth heavy desks.
chairs, filing cases, cabinets, coat rooms
and closets. The splendor of the busi
ness department equipment strikes the
visitor as he goes down the short hall
from the lobby into the public space In
front of the long desk which shuts tn the
stenographers and clerks to his left In
the northeast corner of this floor is lo
cated the commissioner's room. It is
connected by a door with a private room
to the south which will be used for im
portant committee meetings and visitors
of the commissioner.
The doors to the offices of the traffic
bureau are directly in front of the
visitor as he comes in from the lobby,
and around further to his right are the
two rooms occupied by the publicity bu
reau. - . . '
To the left of the lobby Is the ' big
lounging room. Pillowed chairs and
lounges are all about In this room and
there are writing desks also for the con
venience of the members. Connecting
with this room on the south Is the club's
library, ' in which public records, maga-
sines and newspapers will be kept on
file. The wide door between the rooms,
like the windows all around them, will
be draped with brown velvet trimmed In
gold. The lights are of candle design.
Coat Room Large.
On the same floor with these rooms
are the coat room with a capacity for
eO hats and coats, a wash room with
ten wash bowls, mirrored all around, and
the big bllttard room. Six pool and ten
billiard tables of walnut Inlaid with
pearl, are In these rooms together with
a complete equipment Including scores
of festoons and racks for balls and
cues. One of the features of the billiard
room Is the sound proof telephone booth.
In the old quarters the telephones in the
bllUard room were made practically use
less by the noise of cracking balls and
cues.

VERA CRUZ, Mexico, Oct. 20.-The
soldiers of the twenty-first battalion,
garrisoning Fort Uuuoa, located on an
Island in the local harbor, have revolted
and Joined the revolutionary forces of
Felix IXaa.
The gunboats Bravo and Morelos opened
fire on the refugees, killing several and
wounding others. The soldiers of Fort
Uluoa garrison remained Inert, refusing
to return the fire of their comrades. The
situation at the Island Is especially seri
ous, as Uluoa is also used as- a peni
tentiary. Until the fire was opened by
the Brwvo and Morelos, following the de
sertion of the garrison at Fort Uluot, it
was difficult to understand the attitude
of -the gunboats. Commodore Azueta,
commanding the warships still loyal to
the government kept his guns and nearch-
llghts i trained incessantly on the city,
avowing no communication between the
.boats -and -shor,,-...-".-....,-. -v.,.. . v
Felix Dias continues to regard hds
chances for a successful revolutionary
movement through optimistic eyes. He
today declared that the officers and
crews of the gunboats hero are with him
and that Commodore Asueta himself had
promised to Join his forces, only changing
his mind at the last moment before the
Diaz movement was openly launched.
When asked why his shore batteries did
not fire on the federal warships, General
Diaz replied that this would be wholly
unnecessary. He felt that it would be
extremely foolish to disable the boats,
which he feels certain will enlist In hds
Cause shortly. He declared he dally sent
the crews water, provisions and money.
General Dlac further believes the gun
boat Progreeo, whose whereabouts has
npt been publicly known, today shelled
and took the important port of Coatza
coalcos, which is also the northern term
inus , of the Tehuantepec railway. He
said the local garrison was left in com
mand of the rebel ally, Colonel Guevara.
Today General Diaz sought official
recognition for his propaganda by the'
United States government He said he
has represented his cause to the authori
ties at Washington through the American
consul at Vera Cruz, claiming that his
possession of two important seaports and
an army of approximately 2,000 entitles
him to proper recognition.
When asked If he expected an engage
ment with the federals Diaz replied in
the negative. Many federal chiefs, he be
lieves are about to join his forces and
others are too much In sympathy 1 with
his cause to offer him battle. At least
he said he does not expect a clash with
the federals today or tomorrow. The
revolutionists now hold all the strategic
points within the city with a thousand
seasoned soldiers who have deserted to
the Diaz banner and several hundred
volunteers. The federal troops occupy a
position ten miles beyond the outskirts

(Continued on Page Two.)
PORTLAND, Me., Oct. 20.-Mrs. Stev
ens of the Women's Christian Temper
ance union said In her address that the
past year has been one of notable prog
ress toward total abstinence In this coun
try. Increased numbers of railroads have
prohibited the use of liquor by their oper
atives, she said, and declined to serve
liquors on their dining cars. As another
evidence of the progress of abstinence,
she pointed to the discrimination by life
insurance companies against users of any
intoxicants.
Mrs. Stevens declared that the high cost
of living is to some extent due to the
use of intoxicants. Quoting military au
thorities to fortify her contentions, she
urged that renewed efforts be made to
prevent the repeal of the army anti-canteen
laws.
The president recommended that the or
ganization work for the passage of a
bill to prevent interstate shipment of
liquors Into prohibition states.

CHICAGO, Oct 20Colonel Roosevelt's
slight setback from having over-exerted
himself in receiving friends yesterday
will hot prevent his deiarture for Oyster
Bay tomorrow morning at 8:16 o'clock
over the Pennsylvania railroad. His phy
sicians admitted In their morning bulletin
today that the noted patient had suf
fered from his energy of yesterday, and
they appealed to the publlo to aid In ob
taining perfect rest for him.
Their bulletin reads as follows:
"10:80 a. m., Sunday, Oct 20-Pulse and
temperature normal. The patient contin
ues to improve. Colonel Roosevelt suf
fered somewhat from overtaxing himself
yesterday. '
"There is somewhat more dlsoharge
from the wound, but conditions of the
Injury are satisfactory. We have Issued
strict orders for absolute quiet.
"Arrangements have been made to sand
him home, believing conditions will war
rant It at this time, although It will be
necessary for him to be under surgical
care for the next ten days.
"It would be a kindness If his friends
and the public would assist In allowing
him absolute rest and quiet for the next
week or ten days."
Has' Favorable Day.'
A bulletin at 7:16 o'clock tonight read:
"Pulse, 72; temperature, 98.2; respira
tion, 18; blood count, normal.
"Colonel Roosevelt's general condition
good. Respiratory movements comforta
ble. His general condition Justifies his
leaving the hospital for Oyster, Bay, but
It Is deemed advisable In order to lessen
the possibility of complications that he
should not be disturbed in any way, and
will not be allowed to see anyone en
route. He will be In charge of Dr. Alex
ander Lambert and Dr. Scurry I Terrell."
Few Visitors Permitted.
Colpnel Roosevelt said he would agree
to the rigid discipline providing Dr. Mur
phy would permit the latter's family to
come In and see him. Mrs. Murphy and
her daughters, Misses Ceollle, Celeste
and Mildred, had called on a former day
and had missed seeing the colonel, who,
when he heard of it, asked Mrs. Roose
velt to ask them to call again. They did
so, and the physicians assenting, Mrs.
Murphy and the Misses Murphy visited
the patient for a few moments. The
laughter coming from the room Indicated
that the visit was not an unpleasant j
one.
All arrangeraonts are now complete for
Colonel Roosevelt's departure. At 7:30
o'clock tomorrow morning a big UmouBlne
automobile will draw up in the court
yard of the hospital, surrounded by
mounted and motorcycle policemen. The!
block will be cleared of people and police
men will be on the roofs of adjoining
buildings.

matter of appealing to the supreme court

ers vote for their candidates for tho
presidency, now that the matter has been
settled Just that way by the district
court, have veered completely around
and demand that the case be appealed
and the higher court asked to reverse the
decision.
Chairman Epperson attempts to justify
his position by subordinating the moral
Issue to a legal issue. When he wanted
the Roosevelt electors to get off and
the Taft electors gon, he wsntrf io Sa
the act himself of substitution. The fact
that the courts have decided that the
thousands of republican voters cannot be
disfranchised by fraudulent acts of poli
ticians disgruntled because they lost at
the national republican convention, pos
sesses no moral standing in Mr. Epper
son's view despite the stress card by him
on the moral atmosphere around bull
moose headquarters prompting his anx
iety for an amicable settlement of the
complications of the electoral ticket.

to the republican circus and he considers
the temporary glory of his committee of

The derision follows the express letter of
the Nebraska primary law that makes
the national republican organization

and the regular republican state commit-

man and which has been specifically ac
cepted by the republican natldnal com

the republican party in Nebraska as
against t pretended republican commit

publican presidential candidates.
Position of Court.
While the district court Judges did not
tn their decision give their reasons for
granting the writ of mandamus, it was
clear to all who beard the arguments
that the evidence introduced showing'
that the national republican committee
