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. MMMFRflSI P.IIIR'S HEW HOI The Pictorial History of Theodor e. Vol. 10.

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 ' Lobby !

Gamblers' Threats Against, Eosenthal Told 'Before Jury anamaoBamm k 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. As the big asset of the Commercial 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 Governor Johnson Will Take Platform For Col, Eoosevelt CHICAGO, Oct. 20,-Governor Johnson left here this afternoon at 2:13 o'clock over the Pennsylvania lines for New York, where he will complete arrange ments to fill Colonel Roosevelt's speak ing dates In the east during the remainder of the campaign and direct the fight The complete Itinerary has not been given out, but it, is known the governer will campaign in New Tork City and state and hold several meetings in New Eng land.

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. (Continued on Page Two.)

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.

"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.

(Prom a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. 20.-(Speclol Tele-rram.)-Secretary of State Walt Is still mdeclded what action he will take in the matter of appealing to the supreme court 'rom the action of the district court of Lancaster county In Issuing a peremp iory writ of mandumus directing him to put the Taft electors on the ballot as republicans. He has had a demand from W. J. Broatch of Omaha that he appeal the case, and others of the ousted bull .noosers are making similar demands. What has made the situation a peculiar one is that bull moose leaders, notably Chairman Kpperson, who have professed o be so anxious to let the Taft support 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.
