POSTAL SAYINGS BANKS ARE FAVORED jl'v-Ay FOR THE DEMOCRATS hv Administration Doclared to Be Greatest Since Washington and Lincoln—Dem ocratic Party Blamed for Blocking Needed Legielation—-Currency Bill Commended and Legislation Re viewed. J-siW (By Associated Press.) Chicago, June 16.—The following draft of the platform as it Will be sub initted to the committee on resolutions, and as It will probably be adopted, was given to the Associated Press .to day by a member of the coinmittee: "Once more the republican party, In ^national convention assembled, sub mits its cause to the people. This great historic organization that /destroyed slavery, preserved the union, restored credit, expanded the national domain established a sound finantit&l system, developed the industries and-resources of the country, and gave tothe nation her post of honor In the councils of the world, now meets the new problems of government with the same courage and capacity with which it solved the old. "In this, the greatest era of Ameri can advancement, the republican party reached its highest service under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. His administration is an epoch In Ameri can history. In no other period since national sovereignty was won under PANIC AVOIDED, V, "Under the guidance of republican principles the American people have .become the richest in the world. Noth ing so clearly demonstrates the sound -T»asls upon which our commercial, in dustrial and agricultural interests are founded and the necessity of removing \thelr continued welfare thru the oper 'atlon of republican policies as the re cent safe passage of the American peo .i-ple thru the financial disturbance which, if appearing In the midst of democratic rule, or the" menaoe of it, might have equalled the familiar dem ocratic panics of the past. We congrat ulate the people upon this renewed evi dence of American supremacy and hail with confidence the signs now manifest of a complete restoration of business prosperity in all lines of trade, com merce and manufacturing. DEMOCRATIC OBSTRUCTIONISTS. "Since the election of McKinley in 1896 the people of this country have felt a new wisdom In trusting to the republican party, thru decisive ma jorities, oontrol and direction of na tional legislation, and the many wise and progressive measures adopted by recent sessions of congress have dem onstrated the patriotic resolve Of re publican leadership In the legislative department to keep step In the forward march toward, better government *%nlr the) abstraction and filibuster­ ing of the democratic minority In the last house of congress prevented the enactment of a number of mea-aures of great public benefit, the considera tion of which can only be entrusted to another republican majority, but many wholesome and progressive laws were enactcd. CURRENCY BILL APPROVED. "We especially commend the passage of the emergency currency bill, the appointment of a national monetary commission! the employers' and gov ernment liability laws measures for greater efficiency of the army and navy the widow's pension bill the model child labor law for the District of Columbia, designed for emulation by the states new statutes for the safety of railroad engineers and fire men, and many acts conserving the public welfare. FOR TARIFF REVISION. "The republican party declares un equivocally for revision of the tariff by a special session of congress im mediately following the inauguration of the next president ommends the steps ajready taken to this end in the effect!trict by the president, the entire limitations to be fixed in law, the maximum to be available to meet discriminations by foreign countries against American goods entering their markets, the min imum to represent the normal meas ure of protection at home the aim and purpose of. the republican policy be ing not only to preserve, without ex cessive duties, that security against foreign competition to which American We approve the emergency meas ures adopted by the government dur- manufacturers, farmers and producers of good citizenship, and we especially are entitled, but also to maintain the stand for the needs of every American, high standard of living of the wage whatever his occupation, in his capac earners of this country, who are the ity as a well-respecting citizen. most direct beneficiaries of the protec tive system. Between the United States and the Philippines we believe in the free interchange of products, with such limitations as-to sugar and tobacco as will not injure the domestic interests. EMERGENCY MEASURES. ing the recent financial disturbance, and especially commend the passage! national government to the aid of the by the last session of congress of the farmer. Not only in advancing agricul temporary enactment designed to pro tect the country from the repetition of such stringency only until there can •he established a permanent currency system that will avoid all emergencies. The republican party Is committed to the development of such a permanent system, responding to our greater needs and in Mhe In all respects with the most progressive nations of the world, and the jappolntment of a mon etary commission by the present con gress, wthich w^ll impartially investi gate all the .proposed methods, insures the early realization of this purpose. The present currency laws have fully justified their 'adoption, but the ex panding commerce, the marvelous growth in wealth and population, mul tiplying centers of distribution, in creasing demand for the movement of crops in the west and south, entailing periodic changes in monetary condi tions, disclose the need of a more elas tic and adaptable system. Such a system must meet the requirements of agriculturalists, manufacturers, mer chants and business men generally, be automatic In operation, minimizing fluctuations in the Interest rates, and above all, it mu^t/be in harmony with the republican doctrine, which Insists that every dollar shall be based upon, redeemable in, and as good as gold. FOR POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS. "In line with the purposes here de clared to secure by every wise means greater safety and stability in the banking and currency system, we favor the establishment of postal savings banks for the peoiple, upon the princi ples embodied in the measure now pending in congress and set for vote on December 14, next. CURBING MONOPOLY. "The republican party passed the Shenmam anti-trust lajv over demo cratic opposition and enforced it after democratic rejection. It has been a wholesome instrumemt'for good in the hands of a wise and fearless adminis tration. But experience has shown its effectiveness can be strengthened, and its real object better obtained, by such amendments as will give to the federal government greater supervision and control over, and secure greater publicity in the management of, that class of Interstate corporations hav ing power and opportunity to effect monopolies, and at the same time will not Interfere with the operations of such associations among business men, farmers and wage earners, as result in positive benefit to the public. RATE LAW APPROVED. "We approve the enactment of the railroad rate law and vigorous en forcement by the present admlnlwtra of ttie statutes oai rebates and discriminations, as the result of which advantages formerly possessed by large shippers over small shippers have sub stantially disappeared. In this con nection we commend the appropriation of $350,000 by the present congress In order to enable the interstate com merce commission to thoroughly inves tigate and to give publicity to ac counts of interstate ra/llroads. We ibelleve, however, the interstate com merce law should be further amended so as to give railroads the right to mako and publish tariff agreements, subject to approval by the commission, but maintaining always the principles of competition between naturally com peting lines and avoiding the common control of such lines by any means whatsoever, and especially favor the enactment of such legislation as will prevent by federal restrictions the future over issue of stocks and bonds by interstate carriers. "The enactment by constitutional form, by the present session of con gress of the employers' 'lability law,' the passage and enforcement of the safety appliance statutes, as well as addi tional protection secured for engineers and firemen the reduction in the hours of laborers, trainmen, and railroad telegraphers successful exercise of the ppwers of mediation and arbitration between interstate commerce and rail roads and their employes and law making beginning in the policy of compensation for injured employes of the government, are among the most commendable accomplishments of the present administration. WORK ONLY JUST BEGUN. "But there is further work in this direction yet to be done, and the re publican party pledges its devotion to every cause that makes for safety and betterment of the condition among those whose labor contributes so much to the progress and welfare of the country. The same wise policy which has induced the republican party to maintain protection to American labor to establish an eight hour day in the construction of all public work to increase the list of employes who shall have a preferred claim for wages under work assigned to appropriate commit- the bankruptcy laws to adopt an ade- dress, the list of temporary officers tees of the twe* houses, which are now quate child labor statute for the Dis- was read and approved, and commlt investigating the operation and of Columbia to direct investiga- !teeg or existing schedules. «on into the conditions of working I tomorrow "In all tariff legislation the true women and children, and later, em- principle of protection is best main- ployes of the telegraph and telephone talned by the Imposition of such du- companies, engaged in Interstate bus ties as will equal the difference be-jiness: to appropriate $150,000 at the tween the cost of production at home recent session of congress in order to and abroad, together wit^a reasonable secure a thorough Inquiry Into the profit to American industries and the causes of catastrophes and loss of benefits ,that follow are best secured jllfe in mines and to amend and by the establishment of maximum strengthen the law prohibiting the Im and minimum rates to be administered portation of contract labor, will be pur- ca," and the first scene of the 1908 sued in every legitimate direction with in federal authority, to lighter the bur dens and increase the opportunity for happiness and advancement of all who toil. GOOD CITIZEN8HIP ABOVE ALL. "The republican party recognizes the special needs of wage workers generally, for their well-being means well-being for all. But more important than all other considerations, is that FARMERS' WELFAFE IMPORTANT. "Among these whose welfare is as vital as the welfare of the whole coun try, as Is that of the wage earner, is the American farmer's prosperity. The whole country rests peculiarly upon the prosperity of agriculture. The re publican party during the last twelve years has accomplished extraordinary wor^ bringing the resources of the ture itself, but in increasing the con veniences of rural life, in order to at tract farmers'' sons and daughters to ward, rather than away, from the farm, have the energies of the administration been engaged. Free rural mail delivery was estab lished over earnest democratic opposl tion it now reaches millions of our citizens, and we favor its extension until every community In the land re ceives the full benefits of the postal service. NECESSITY OF GOOD ROADS "We recognize the social and eco nomical advantage of good country roads, maintained more largely at pub lic expense, and less and less at the expense of the abutting owners. In this work y/e recommend the growing fac tors of statQ aid, and believe in such national assistance as can be appro priately rendered. FRIEND OF THE NEGRO "We declare for such amendments of statutes and procefiSre in the federal courts with respect to the use of the writ of injunction, as will, on one hand, prevent the summary issue of such or ders without proper consideration, and on the other, will preserve the undi minished power of the courts to en force their process, to the end that jus tice may be done at all times, and to all parties. The republican party has been for more than fifty years a con sistent friend of the American negro. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote into the organic law of the land declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and it believes to day that his noteworthy progress in in telligence, industry and good citizen ship, has earned the respect and en couragement of the nation. We de mand equal justice for all men, without regard to race or color. We approve the efforts of President Roosevelt and the republican majority in congress, over solid democratic opposition, to secure equal accommodations on rail roads and other public carriers for all citizens, whether white or black. We declare once more, without reserva tion, for the enforcement, in spirit and letter, of all those amendments to the constitution which were designed for the protection and advancement of the negro, and we condemn all devices like the so-called "Grandfather clauses," that have for their real aim his dis franchisement for reasons of color alone, as unfair, un-American and re pugnant to the supreme law of the land. CIVIL SERVICE LAWS. We reaffirm our former declarations that civil service laws enacted, ex tended and enforced by the republican party shall continue to be maintained 'I (Continued on Eighth Page.) HARSHAi.LTOWJS. IOWA. TUESDAY, JUNE 16 1908 Republican Hosts Gather in Chi cago Coliseum Amid Scenes ot Wild Enthusiasm ROOSEVELT'S NAME CHEERED Temporary Chairman Burrows' Men­ tion of President Causes Ovation Which Lasted Two Minutes—Soenes at the Opening of the Convention Wers Inspiring. Convention Hall, June 16.—The con vention doors were opened at 10:30, and the hall slowly filled. At 11:30 the seats were only partially filled. At 12:14 Chairmah New rapped the convention to order. Burrows was elected temporary chairman and began his speech amid cheers and applause. When Burrows spoke of Roosevelt, the convention broke Into a demon stration which lasted nearly two min utes. Burrows completed his remarks at 1:42, having spoken an hour and eight minutes. [Burrows" address appears on page 4—Editor.) At the conclusion of Burrows' ad- were tlon named. At 2:03 the conven­ adjourned unt The Opening Scenes. s*^ Chicago, June 16.—The doors of the cavernous convention hall were thrown open at 10:30, and first visitors, and delegates and alternates began to filter In. High up in the girders of the great arching roof a band struck up "Amerl- gathering was under way. The decor ative scheme in the hall was purely a patriotic one, with gracefully draped flags predominating. Women were largely represented in the first arriv ing throngs and took a "lively.^ in ter?st in the incidents of the opening. The visitors' sections filled more rapidly than the floor, but the balcony crowds were slow in recognizing the more prominent men among the stream of arrivals, altho now and then spontane ous handclapping denoted the enthusi asm of some appreciative spectator. Fifteen minutes before the hour set for calling the convention to order, the delegate section was not half filled, but the music of marching bands in the street poured into the hall and the parading hosts were at hand. Fairly overwhelming the large and efficient corps of doorkeepers and ushers, dele gations from a score of states crowded into their places. Notable guests on the speaker's platform were slow in ar riving. The first to appeal were Am bassador and Madame Jusserand. Notables Among Spectators. They were soon followed by other •members of the diplomatic 'corps, to whom President Roosevelt had allotted twentynflve seats. Mrs. Nioholas Long-worth and Mrs. Timothy Ii. Wood ruff also occupied conspicuous places on the platform. It was nearly 12 o'clock when Ambassador and Mrs. Bryce, of Great Britain, reached the hall. Both ambassadors and their wives were the recipients of much attention. Conspicuous among the diplomats was Minister Wu Ting Fang, of China. A barytone singer with a powerful voice, sang "Tipperary," to the delight of the assembling crowds. A L.a.Follette banner, bearing the slo gan, "Physical valuation of railroads," was displayed for a moment by a member of the Wisconsin delegation, but soon disappeared from view. Press Justly Indignant. When the newspaper correspondents reached their seats, and surveyed the "facilities" provided for their work, they were Indignant, and exasperated. A storm of censure and criticism was at once directed at Chairman New of the national committee, who super vised all the press arrangements. The aisles between the rows of seats were too narrow to permit of passage, and a correspondent at the far end of thet row was hopelessly imprisoned. His only method of egress was to literally walk along the flimsy desk upon which the other men were attempting to write. Elbow room was at a premium, and It is well within the confines of truth to say that for overcrowding, downright discomfort and general lack of adaptability to the purposes for which they were supposed to be de signed. the press arrangements of the republican convention of 1908 sur passed anything seen at any similar gathering in many years. New Opens Convention. At 12:45 Chairman Harry S. New called the convention to order, and said: The hour has arrived for the repre sentatives of the republican party to meet in its fourteenth national con vention, at the end of almost twelve consecutive years of the most brilliant administration In the history of the world. There are those present in this audience today, who participat ed in the party's first con vention, and the accomplishments of that party within so brief a span as the life of men yet living, are-al most beyond belief. We are here to assert our pride in what has been done, to approve the achievements of the past, more especially to commend and endorse the administration of Theodorfe Raosevelt and those policies which, under his splendid administration, have become known to the people of this* land as the policies of the "square deal." The naming of Roosevelt's adminis tration by New, caused momentary cheering. Bishop Muldoon opened the convention with prayer, following which the secretary read the call, ad convention— A Roosevelt Ovation. Burrows was warmly received as he stepped to the front of the platform extension arranged for the use of the speakers. Ho bowed acknowledge ments, and began his "keynote" ad dress. Burrows constantly referred to the printed copy of his speech. He had been speaking about six minutes, when he came to the first mention of Presi dent Roosevelt. He evidently folt just a little excited over the mention of the president, for he had some little difficulty in pronouncing the well known, name. He was referring to the convention of four years ago, "when," he said, "invoking the continuance of public favor, the party placed in nom ination for the office of president of the United States, 'Theo Bell,' 'Theo-A Rose' "—the senator stopped and mum bled for a moment, and said: "Theoe," but again he stopped, and in the grow ing wave of upplause of those who rec ognized for whom the name was in tended, he shouted: "Theddore Roose velt." At once the demonstration be gan. Several delegates jumped upon their chairs and waved their hats, call ing upon others to do likewise. North Carolina, Texas, West Virginia, and Alabama led the cheering, while the applause was general on the floor and in the balcony. The cheering lasted nearly two minutes. Burrows, in re suming, mentioned Fairbanks' name, and there was a round of applause. The name of Abraham Lincoln was received with general, but brief hand clapping^ The mention of Elihu Root as "that matchless secretary of-state," brought New Yorkers to their feet with cheers, and waving flags and handkerchiefs. The delegates of Ohio and Maine led in the applause following that portion of the address which favored the es tablishment of a merchant marine, and praise given to the management of our Insular possessions, was heartily ap proved by the convention as a whole. TAFT WITHHOLDS CHOICE. Vice Be Let Presidential Row to Alone for Present. Washington. June 16.—This state ment was issued from an authoritative source this morning: "The exchange of telegrams over night between Washington and Chi cago Indicates bhere will be no de velopments so far as the administra tion Is concerned in the matter of tho selection of a candidate for vice pres ident until after the platform shall have been disposed of and the nom inee for the president shall have been named." It is understood this statement was issued with the distinct purpose of avoidlpg complications of the vice presidency with that of the presiden tial nomination, the result of W'hich might be to diminish Taft's strength •by creating enmities among the friends of those candidates for the vice presi dential nomination who are Sihown to have either failed to receive his sup port or encouraged his actual opposi tion. HEPBURN FOR FAIRBANKS. Fears Expenses of Vice Presidency Would Absorb Dolliver's Property. Chicago, June 16—Congressman Hep burn of Iowa favors Fairbanks for vice president. "He has made the most progressive vice president we have ever had," said he. "He is dignified and vigorous, and it is due to him that the senate has not of late degenerated into an intermin able debating society. In two rulings in the gum shoe speech of Stone he stopped a useless talk that might have continued for an indefinite period. "Mr. Dolliver is less than 50 years old. He has been a senator for eight years, and might continue in the senate until he is 80, serving his state and his country as he could serve it in no other capacity. For a man like him to take such an office, with his prospects, would indicate mental defects that would unfit him for the office." Another of the politicians brought up again the subject of Senator Dolliver's farm near Fort Dodge. It appears that this farm consists of 600 acres and is worth something like $60,000, and it is all he has, and the senator fears that the expense of the office of vice president will leave him without any farm or any competence when he Is returned to private life. New Committee Members. Chicago, June 16.—The following are among the new national republican committee: Illinois—Frank O. Low den Indiana, Harry S. New Iowa, Er nest E. Hart Michigan, John W. Blod gett Minnesota, Frank B. Kellogg Missouri, Charles. Nagel North Dako ta, James Kennedy South Dakota, Thomas Thorson, and Wisconsin, Al fred G. Rogers. TARIFF PARAMOUNT ISSUE. With Anti-Injunction Declaration, It is Foremost in Discussion. Chicago, June 16. The two most important planks of the platform which vvill be presented by Wade Ellis, attorney general of Ohio, to the reso lutions committee, as tentative propo sitions for the consideration of that body, are the anti-injunction' plank, and the tariff plank, declaring for a revision of the tariff by a special ses sion of congress, carrying out the true principle of protection by the estab lishment of maximum and minimum rates. The two features of the tariff plank most vigorously discussed are the pro posed call of a special session and the commitment of the party to maximum and minimum policies. Not a little criticism is heard today of the propo sition to accord the manufacturers not only the measure of protection af forded by the difference in cost nt manufacture, but also the added a&k vantage incorporated in the prac? vlly Incline T.-R.

Speech Sensational Because of Mild ness—Loud Pedal Needed. Chicago, June 16.—Senator Burrows' speech in opening the convention cre ated a sensation because of its extra ordinary mildness. It was confined to a general panegyric of the virtues and glories of the republican party. It was decidedly along old lines, re ferred to ancient history and scarce ly reaohed the present time at all. There was a notable absence of laud ation a administration, and the principal achievements of that administration were mentioned in a perfunctory sort of fashion which occasioned the pro foundest surprise. The Taft people expressed but little surprise over it, and said it was about what could be expected under the cir cumstances. Some of the leaders of the "allies," however. were astonished mortified and ashamed in about equal proportions. HOBSON FOR BRYAN Says He Will Be Choice of Denver Convention and Elected—Roosevelt Only One Who Can Beat Him. Special to Times-Republican. Cedar Rapids, June 16.—Captain Richmond P. Hobson, who opened the Chautauqua, here today under the aus pices of the Redpath Chautauqua sys tem, predicted the nomination of Will iam J. Bryan at the Denver convention, and his election In November. "Bryan is most certainly assured of the nomination at Denver," he said. "He Is stronger than ever in the south and will hold that strength until the election and win out. No probable nominee of the convention now in ses sion in Chicago has any certainty of winning over Bryan. If Roosevelt, by any chance, should be nominated, that would be a different story." Mr. Hobson heretofore has not been listed among the Bryan supporters TEMPERANCE CONGRESS ON. International Meeting to Celebrate Centennial Opens at Saratoga. Saratoga, N.

EAST TAKES NOTICE. Commins' Candidacy Attracting Inter est and Favor. (Special Washington Correspondence.) Washington, June 16.—Governor Cummins' boom for vice president is attracting widespread notice in the east today. Eastern newspapers are giving it great prominence. "Cummins for Second Place" is a first page head in the New Yorh gun CUMMINS BOOM GROWS 3 DOLLIVER OUT OF RACE B81 Senator Borah Deserts Senator For Vice I President and Heads Cummins DO! LIVER COMES OUT FOR FAIRBANKS "iffii (By Associated Press.) .A1 icago, June 16.—Following sharp j» ti yesterday's announcement from ashington that the president and -Secretary Taft were Inclined to Insist that the vice presidential candidate must come i!rom Iowa, and that they would be satisfied with either Dolliver Or Cummins, a boom today was for mally launched for Cummins. It was fathered by Senator Borah, of Idaho, who up until late yesterday was among the most ardent of Dolliver's supporters. He now says he is con vinced that of the two men, Cummins Is the most available, and declares hit can carry a larger vote in the far west than any other man. He says the complications are such that it does not seem wise to longer attempt to nom inate Dolliver, and announces he has most positive assurances that Cum mins' nomination will be acceptable to both Roosevelt and Taft. He says the governor will have a formidable fol lowing from the beginning andi de clares that from this time forward the governor is in the front of the r/tae, "and there to stay." "Cummins May Get Vice Presidency" Is a first page head in the New York Times. It is learned that the friends of Secretary Taft are looking carefully into Gover nor Cummins' record, and that up to date, they are greatly pleased with what they have discovered. Some of th,em are saying plainly that Cummins would be stronger in many respects than Dolliver. At the same time, Dolliver is" fctlll looked on, in the Taft camp with fav or. The prediction in circles cWsfe' to Taft today, was that It would be'Taft on the first bal'ot, with Hitchcock for national chairman, and CummliiS or Dolliver for vice president. It, of course, is realized that the conservative! "Wing of. "the allies," led mainly by -slftti- Ro^el^senators, are trying hard _to 1 get Fairbanks or one of their kind named, and the matter is not settled. MUST BE AN IOWAN. White House Desire* for Vice Presi dent Unchanged. Special to Times -Republican. 'Chicago,. June 16.—With President Roosevelt completely in oontrol of everything and able, almost certainly, •to dictate every detail -which he •wishes to control, the national con vention opened at noon. The vice •presidency Is still unsettled simply because the White House has given no final indication of its wisrti. iSome details'a3 to the platform are yet to be settled but the official draft of it was allowed to leak out to the public today, with the manifest pur pose of adding to the difficulty Which the anti-administration people will ex perience in making changes in it. Third Termer# at Work. The third term boomers are hard at work, and insist that they are certain of polls on the first ballot for Roose velt in many states and believe he will take so many from the Taft column that Taft's nomination on the first ballot will be prevented. Senator Bourne and Jo'hn A. Stewart, of the Roosevelt third term league, are be ing taken more seriously, and gossip about a possible stampede continues. Specifications as to the exact course of the first ballot Roosevelt votes are wanting1 and the claims concerning them are scouted by the Taft machine, which is still wording splendidly. Still W»mt lowan. Concerning the vice presidency, it developed early today that the White House and Secretary Taft are still oc cupying the position they took yes terday. They warn: either Senator Dol liver or Governor Ctimmins. The boom for the governor was put out here this morning by people who are known to represent the administration wishes. The Iowa delegation has been served with notice, in effect, that it may choose between the two Iowans: but unless the situation changes, one of three of them will in all human prob ability be the final official adminls tratlon-Taft candidate. Cummins Would Add Strength. Governor Cummins will be wanted, it is said, in case the platform should come out without an anti-Injunction plank, or with such a plank drawn so weakly as to offend labor.

While the choice was an easy one for Presl dent Roosevelt and Secretary Taft, because both men looked good.to them,M it was mighty difficult for the Iowa tories to choose between the two men, because Major Lacey, Lafayette Young and George D. Perkins, who have been 'M leading the fight against harmony in Iowa, found difficulty in deciding 0 which they really hated worst, Dolliver or Cummins. Colonel Young fairly turned white in the face when he was shown a copy of a last evening's Chi cago paper with tremendous head- -f. lines reading: "Either Dolliver or: Cummins is Roosevelt's fiat." Uncle George Perkins found a ready explan ation by announcing that of course the "matter was the invention of some per son utterly unauthorized to speak for the white house interest. But this morning, when all the newspapers car ried the same story, and when it was definitely confirmed that the White House had practically issued the ulti matum that the Iowa tories would/" have to accept either Dolliver or Cum mins, the Perkins-Young-Lacey trium vlrate went finally into mourning. Looks Less Like Dolliver. Early in the day a western senator who is known to represent adminis tration opinion, set about to pass around the word that the -president and Secretary Taft wanted everything set up for. the nomination of Governor Oummins for vice president In caM conditions should so develpp that it should become necessary. Briefly this means that if the platform conies out of the committee and is adopted by •the convention In such form as will foe- unsatisfactory to organized labor, ithe political necessities will diotate the nomination of Governor Cummins be cause of his strength with labor. Xt looks today rather less like Dolli ver and more like Oummins. Will Await Developments. •Conferences of the numerous frtonds of the governor w-ho are now on Che ground resulted in the decision to await developments and to be ready to -push either the governor or Senator Dolliver, according to the require ments of the situation. The conven tion interest now largely centers In Iowa's fight, which Is everywhere de clared to b4 utterly unique in the •history of convention politics. An im mense number of Iowans are here and every train adds to the throng. TWO COUNTIES NOT IN. Effort to 8top Recount In Datlae May Greatly Delay Convaaa* Special to Times-Republican.

Much Amusement on Part of Progressives Over Opposition to Dolliyer's Nomination MAKE DAMAGING ADMISSIONS By Confession Stsndpats Prove Charges That Have Been Frequently Lodged Against Them Board of Exam iners to Meet and Classify Colleges —State Capital News. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, June 16.—The conster nation of the .standpatters over the possible nomination of Dolliver for vice president is furnishing an abundance of amusement for the proEfressives of Iowa. It is hard to say whether the progressives are more amused at the dlscomforture of the standpatters or the admissions of the standpatters that the progressives will not bolt but that they, the standpatters, will. As understood here La.fe Young, John F. Lacey and other standpatters are telling the delegates to the national convention that if Dolliver Is nominated for vice president it will endanger the legislature in Iowa. They are telling these delegates that everything is all right in Iowa now but that if an open ing is made for Cummins for the Un ited States senate there will be trouble and the legislature will go democratic. This is a horrible admission for them, to make, but it is just the situation that the progressives have always pre dicted. With Allison nominated for the senate and Carroll for governor, there will be no bolt, for the progressives will vote the ticket straight, say these standpatters. But if Dolliver is nominat ed for the vice presidency and there is a probable vacancy in the senate which Cummins might slip into, the stand patters will vote the democratic ticket and elect a democratic legislature, sacrificing even Allison and allowing the election of two democratic Uniteil States senators from this state rather than allow Cummins to be elected sen ator. The Cummins men of Iowa have been charging this for years. They have been saying all ailong that the sole ob ject of the standpatters in their cam paigns in Iowa is the defeat of Cum mins, to "pound Cummins into the earth," as J. W. Blythe put It on one occasion. The standpatters have de nied it in every way possible and now by all their actions and sayings in Chicago they admit the whole thing. Ic Is understood too that they are hint ing that the ticket would not be so strong In Iowa with Dolliver on it. If that line of argument is taken by them, then they admit that Dolliver is a weak man and admit all the charges made against Dolliver. Certain it is that the friends of Governor Cum mins, having a desire to see him go to the United States senate, are not going to put anything In the road of Dolliver being vice president. They can not be accused of being so shortsighted to do anything that would be against Cum mins going to the senate. Information from a number of the progressive republicans here makes it very doubtful whether the progressives are more rejoiced over the possibility of Dolliver being vice .president and making a vacancy for Cummins or over the corner Into which Lafe Young and John F. Lacey and others have been forced when they admit that they will bolt and vote for the democratic candidates for the legislature rather than allow Cummins to go to the sen ate. Undoubtedly the progressives in the party campaigns yet to come will use this situation against the stand patters many times. Foi^ the most part the prominent republicans here can see nothing dn the way of Dolliver being nominated for vice president. Leaving out of consid eration the state of Iowa there is no doubt but that Dolliver is a (good speaker and he being popular]y cred ited over the •country with being the father of the rate law, whether he 'is or not, his name on the ticket would probably add strength to it. Inside of Iowa he will mot weaken the ticket. On the other hand if he is nominated it is believed by most of the progres sives that the possibility of his suc cessor would not be of any interest in the campaign till the .next .legislature meets. The parties have agreed to the nominees for the legislature and it is believed that Allison's influence will be strong enough to keep any very great number of the standpatters from bolting the Jegislative ticket. The state board of educational ex aminers will .meet Friday to take up the matter of the classification oif col leges. Under the new law the board classifies the colleges and the gradu ates of these colleges get certificates to teach without examination. The better and more thorough the college the higher the grade of certificate. The board has already classified the col leges, having met for that .purpose after the .legislature adjourned. The meeting now is for t'ne purpose of a reclassification. Educators say that this new law is one of the best things for the colleges ,of the state that the, legislature has ever done. Every college is now try ing to raise the grade of Us efficiency so as to get the best certificate for its graduates. Othervyise the students will seek the better colleges of the state. Already some of these colleges have laid tlie matter before their trustees and it means better equipment and better"pai(J professors and .more thor ough training. The conference of the superintend ents of the state institutions met this afternoon in the rooms of the board of control at the state house and will continue over tomorrow. The confer ences are held quarterly. Most of the superintendents reached Des Moines last night or this morning "-'nd they have been in conference WWfcmal'y with the members of the bstitutiUver matters pertaining to thertr'i" program This afternoon the formalrr, warden was taken up. MarciuLa Ba of the reformatory at Anamosa read a .paper on "The Benefit of X/abor to the Prisoner" Miss Xgnea Conway, head nurse of the Iowa Soldiers' Home at Davenport will tomorrow read a paper on "Khysioai Care of Children dn the State Institutions." The feature of the .program, which is considered of greatest importance, is an address on "Differentiation in the Evolution of Institutions for the Care of the Insane," 'by Richard Dewey, A. M., M. D., physician in charge of the Milwaukee sanatorium at Wauwatoaa, Wis. I fThe executive council has given the state 'board of control an appropriation of $500 from the provident contingent fund to be used at 'Council Bluffs in repairing 'the damage from the recent storms that flooded the farm and de stroyed all the crops and some of the property. This will not begin to cover the damage- and the legislature mext January will probably have to omake an especial appropriation for the institu tion. The $600 will do little more than clear away the debris. The farm has been covered with a deposit o(f clay that probably has caused more dam age than anything else. At Ft. /Mad ison where the state penitentiary is on low ground and in a very objectionable place, a great deal of damage has been done this spring1 also from the higth water. Both of these Institutions seem to promise much expense to the state because of their unfavorable lo oatlon. Adj. Gen. W. H. Thrift has returned from attending the G. A. R. encamp ment at Cedar Rapids and while on the trip reviewed the university ca dets at Iowa 'City. There are now 600 in the battalion. General Thrift has .been the reviewing officer for three ye-ors and speaks very highly of the work of .Lieutenant Weeks. The cadets h^Y® improved steadily each year. ALUMNI DAY AT IOWA CITY.

Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, June 16.—The Hull Prouty contest in the Seventh Iowa district still hangs In the balance with the prospect that the ultimate decision will have to be made in the courts. A3 a result of the recount by the board of county supervisors of the ballots cast in the recent primary election the vote stands at a tie for the two can didates. The returns from all the un contested precincts of Polk county have been canvassed with no show of change.' A sensation was sprung when the supervisors of Dallas county were re strained from proceeding with the count of the ballots in that county. This action throws the battle into the court in which the injunction was Is sued at the instance of J. W. Russell, a Hull man, who alleges that the su pervisors lacked jurisdiction, and fur ther charged that previous handling of the ballots left doubt enough In his mind whether all the ballots remained intact WILL PAVE AT HAMPTON. There B«ing No Opposition, Bids So it Special to Times-Republican. Hampton, June 16.—The limit of time within which complaints against •the proposed paving In this city might be made, -was last week, and no ser ious objection developed to hinder the improvement. At a special meeting of the council a few evenings ago, the imenVbers decided to go ahead with the work of preparation .and accordingly will advertise for bids for the work, which, it Is specified, shall be com peted by Oct. 1, 1908. Bids are solicited-for ten blocks of paving, to be oX No. 1 vitrified paving brick, laid on a one and one-half Inch cushion of sand, and tlda on a five inch foundation of Portland cement concrete. Curbing is to ibe of artificial stone, and the contractor is to furnish all material, tools and labor. He Is also required to give a bond equal to 35 per cent of the contract price, as a guarantee of the faithful performance of the work, and he must also guar antee' to keep the work in repair for a period of five years' ordinary wear and tear. It is specified that special assess ment certificates shall be accepted as full compensation by the contractor. Paving of street intersections, of course, are to be paid for by the city. A certified check for $2,500 upon some Hampton bank, must accompany each bid. The .limit of time for the recep tion of bids is fixed for 8 o'clock p. m„ July 6. The decision of the city coun cil to extend the proposed Improve ment so flar to the west would seem to Indicate that the Inauguration of thorough service on the Short Line road in that part of town is expected. HALT IN DIRECTORY WAR. Both Mason City Contestants Ordered to Mako Formal Application. Special to Times-Republican. Mason City, June 16.—'Because they failed .to make application to make a directory in this city, as required toy the city ordinances, the representatives of R. L. Polk Co., and of the Du buque Telegraph Herald, who are fighting out a directory war here, were ordered by the mayor last Saturday to cease work and call a halt in -the bat tle, until after they had made formal application to the city council. A special meeting has 'been called to consider these applications. The gen eral opinion among the aldermen, is that both should be given permission to publish a directory, and allowed to fight it out on the same lines as pursued up to this time. Polk Co. have a little the best of the argument, since they made formal application for permission on the occasion of their first publication here, when the per mit was granted, under the terms of which -they have published directories of the city during the Intervening years without call for any further application.

The town council of this place have advertised for the erection of a re inforced concrete water tank and res ervoir, to be placed on the hill east of town and to have a capacity of 100,000 gallons. This will give a pressure much increased, as the level is about fifty feet higher than the present tank, and sufficient to furnish protection to the highest buildings in town, and es pecially to the public school buildings. The board of education of this place has just finished placing swinging doors in all rooms of the public school buildings, and constructed fire escapes on the outside of the same.

Special to Times-Republican. Fort Dodge, June 16.—Louis Plns ker is at present a resident of Kort Dodge. He is a relative of "Joe" Stein berg, and when reminded constantly of the happiness of wedded life,.by as sociation with the Steinberg family, his determination grew to send for the girl beyond the seas whom he meant some day to make his bride. This done, on April 15, he has waited anxiously ever since for her arrival, knowing that she would come as soon as she received the steerage ticket which he mailed to her. Recently when he began to watch the crowds that pour off' the trains from the east, a letter came from the New York authorities, which when ex plained to him by his advisors, made known the fact that the little Russian girl whom he would make his wife, was detained at Ellis Island for two rea sons. No emigrant can leave there un less in possession of $10, and besides that, it developed that there was a double reason for, detaining her because a written affidavit was necessary from the man who had sent for her, inform ing the authorities of his intention to make her his wife. When Plnaker learned that these two barriers remained between him and his sweetheart of the old country, he made haste to send what was required, and even now the following affidavit is on its way to the Ellis Island authorities, and the would be groom is all impa tience once more for the arrival of Sarah Weissbrodt: "Be it remembered that on this 15th day of June,. 1908, before me, the un dersigned, a notary public in and for said county, personally appeared Lou is Pinsker, who being duly sworn de poses and says, That he is the same Louis Pinsker who on or about April 15, 1908, purchased a steerage prepared passage for one Sarah Weissbrodt, liv ing in Russia, and who has since come to the United States on the steamship "Russia," and is now detained at Ellis Island, New York and he further states that he sent fer said Sarah Weissbrodt for the purpose of marrying her on ar rival at Fort Dodge, Iowa.

As an institution for the promotion of matrimony, the annual conference of the Church of the Brethren, which jhas just closed at the fair grounds, was a "howling" success. As the re sult of meeting and mingling on the grounds and in the tabernacle, nearly a hundred young people are a great deal happier than when they came to Des Moines two weeks ago to attend the monster meeting. "There must have been at least fifty proposals of marriage made and accepted during the conference" said one prominent eld er as he smiled at the actions of a young couple who strolled by arm In arm. "There go two young turtle doves who met at the conference last year and now they are. to be married in the fall. Had they not made the conference a trvsting place. I doubt if we would have seen them on the grounds this year." Almost the ftrst day of the meeting, the search for "affinities" became productive of re sults. Young men who had never known any greater interest in life than the industrious tilling of the soli and the breeding and care of cattle, strolled happily about the grounds arm in arm with demure maidens, wearing the dainty lace cap of the sect. While the Dunkers do not believe in exceedingly early marriages, their chief concern is that of seeing their children hapiplly wedded. They look with favor upon the conference as a meeting place of yauaf people matrimonially Inclined. Some Bottom Land Corn Fields Abandoned Entirely, Reduc ing State Average PROGRESS IN OTHER FIELDS Work of Cultivation Being Vigorously Prosecuted—Small Grain Making a Splendid Progress—Cherry Yield is Large in North, Short in South Half of State. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, June 16.—The weekly weather and crop bulletin, issued today, says: The average temperature and sun shine have been below the normal dur ing the past week in all parts of the state, and the rainfall was below nor mal over the northeastern, and above over the southwestern half of the state. Showers occurred in some part of the state every day- during the week, yet there was an average of four days without rain, and work in the corn fields was vigorously pushed. Most of the early planted fields have been cul tivated once, and, in many localities, the second cultivation is well advanced. Considerable planting and replanting was done in rtelds which had previous ly been too wet. Many fields in the river bottoms and on flat, undrained land are stiil covered with water, or are too wet to permit any work being done, but for the state at large them has been a decided improvement in the condition of our staple crop, altho there will be a decrease in the anticipated acreage, as many fields have been or will be abandoned. The final acreage will probably be about the same as that of last year. The cool weather was beneficial to small grain, in preventing the develop ment of a rust, and those crops, to gether with grass and potatoes, are re ported to be in a very thrifty condition. Hay making is reported as having be gun in Iowa county, and some alfalfa has been cut in Marion county. The yield of cherries, which are now getting ripe, will be large over most of the northern and light in the southern districts, but strawberries give prom ise of a fair crop in all parts of the state. The apple crop will be light. NORWEGIANS CELEBRATE. One Hundred and Fifty Guests at the Banquet of Lutheran Church.

It Is being freely stated, especl ally by organs Inimical to Presi dent Roosevelt and his policies, that one of the main Issues which will be handled by the .national republican convention at Chicago this week is the question of government by injunction, p-and we are asked to believe a state ^lJ?ment, apparently made In all serious ^a/.|fness, to the effect that a determined '-effort will be made to incorporate in •the national platform of republican policies a plank flatly condemning "Government by injunction. The re sponslbllity for such a plank would, .according to the narrators, be directly ^traceable to the president and his well known vigorous determination to "do things.' :"V ]^f this is truly the cise, it may be a Igood halting place for consideration Iwfore the republican party takes a step that may have a most undesirable •fleet in adulterating its chances for auccess at the polls next fall. William ?jr!" Bryan has long been accused of wholesale thievery of republican poli cies and deslderatums, but thai may he a poor reason why the republican party should seek to play even by tak ing (or one of its chief war cries the catch phrase which received more ad vertising by the Nebraskan than it ever had by any other man or set of men...-- .-W -W Labor organizations, no doubt, have •fullered" most from "government by Injunction." It has been a frequent de tffrent In these case? in which disputes between wealth and workers have threatened to result in riotfng and consequent destruction of life and property. Organised labor is demand ing: radical chances in this law, and it is* right and proper to lend, an ear to whatever is reasonable and fair to all classes in such a demand. -The modi fication proposed by Secretary Taft of requiring both sides to be heard be fore an injunction is issued may be all that is right In the matter. If it is, lit Is poor politics to bid for the votes of a class with a plank which the other JeUow owns, unless that plank is thor oughly founded upon the elements of Wise statesmanship. WCULD DESTROY THE PRIMARY. The Cedar Rapids Republican has joined the Burlington Hawkeye in a demand for repeal of the statewide pri mary "law. The argument is that not all voters were acquainted with the comparative merits of all the candi dates and the appeal is made for a re turn to the state convention. Granted that hundreds of voters cast their ballots in the daVk as to many a candidate on the ticket, how many del egates to a state convention ever knew personally all the candidates voted for? It Is safe to say that no delegation of lljfteen men ever attended a state con vention of any party and knew all the candidates whose names came before (hem and that delegations of fifteen men were no more competent to rep resent 3,000 voters in a county than any ,Other fifteen men. 'On the other hand, there are ten times and a hundred,tlmes fifteen men In every county, taking the voters as a Whoie,who do know the candidates all /along the list, and these men at a pri mary do cast their votes intelligently. Furthermore, the primary system •takes a candidate stand publicity. The voter has a campaign of weeks 'and months in which to inform him self about the candidates. Out of 200, 000 votes cast, better than 100,000, up on the most pessimistic calculation, were cast by voters well-Informed up on every candidate, while the entire state convention would have consisted of less than 1,200 men, and upon nom inations below third place on the ticket not 300 delegates would be left in the convention hall to do the voting. Many a nomination has been made by secre taries calling the roll to a building of empty seats. The great benefit of the statewide primary Is that whenever a contest arises of unusual public interest every man gets a vote on the issue, and his vote is counted in determining the re sult. Under the convention and caucus system, the professionals do all the business most of the time, and when an issue of great public concern does arise it requires about five or six years of fighting and organizing for the average voter to turn down the professionals and get his vote counted over their heads. The primary can be amended, .but should never be abolished. ELEVATING THE SALOON. Action by the brewers of the nation in Milwaukee and the retail liquor dealers of the state in their conven tion In Sioux City is significant. The brewers have resolved that "the dive saloon must go, and the Iowa conven tion has openly declared In favor of better regulation, abolishment of the lawless saloon and the divorcing of the saloon from politics. There seems to be a sincere effort to make the saloon more respectable, if not respectable. Possibly the liquor 'business is in the course of evolution. The brewers and tho retail dealers are doing much talking a,nd apparently are doing moro thinking. Public sentiment has started something along tho lines of real reform. Of course to tho radical prohibition ist all saloons look alike. He sees no difference and makes no distinction between the glided wine room Avhere men resort who wear the manners of respectability, and the grog shop whioh caters to the tastes of degenerates and crooks. To ithivt large majority of people who are just as sincere in their temperance beliefs but who accept other means to attain the same end, there is encouragement In this new attitude of the brewer and the retailer In relation to their own business. Strict statutes and a strong public sentiment behind them aro and always will be necessary for the control of the •liquor traffic. When the brewers tind the saloon men, thru their various or ganizations, purge the business of the low dives, assist in driving ©very man out of (the business who violates the laws of the states and the regulations of the municipalities—when sales to minors and to drunkards cease, when the saloon divorces itself from the gambling and bawdy houses the cause of temperance will have been advanced and the liquor business will have been placed on a 'higher plane of decency. Part way up the ladder is just that much nearer out of the pit.

With all the presidential timber available at Chicago the republican platform should lack nothing In the way of planks. Looks like Pennsylvania was hope lessly graft-ridden. The five men ac cused of the capitol crookedness have been freed and there appear to be no other suspected culprits available on whom, to fasten the guilt.

WHICH MAN HAS RELATIVES IN THE CONVENTION CITY: TkAirl FOR CHICAGO KM The old bugaboo of a primary being a rich man's game seems to have been exploded by giving the most of the nominations to the candidate who spent the least money in the campaign. Major Lacey will represent Iowa on the committee on resolutions in the national convention. At Des Moines tho progressive minority forced the major to report a tariff revision platform, but It is possible that the major may as sert his independence at Chicago. v,' Aw! Let up on this Dolliver talk and tell us who's ahead, Prouty or Hull. Having had it impressed upon us by so many standpat newspapers during the last campaign that Cummins "was In disfavor with the president, what are we to do with this story that Roosevelt and Taft would just as soon have him on the ticket for vice presi dent? Then, too, Dolliver says he can do just as much effective work on the stump for the ticket as senator as he could as candidate for vice president, but did he consider the possibility of Cummins being on the ticket, and does he contemplate revising his recent campaign speech about that "miserable hypocrite" and "fakir"? 1 "'-.SS- It has been a long time since Lafe could be a delegate to anything, and he is sending out well-printed litera ture to make the most of it, but the impression prevails that the responsi bilities of the position are proving an awful strain. Ernest Hart, Mr. Blythe's represen tative on the national committee, says political anarchy would reign in Iowa if Dolliver should make way for Cum mins. He means that the country would be without Mr. Blythe's benefi cent government. IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES The Sioux City Journal says: "Sec retary Taft was supposed to have the •best call on the base .ball vote on account of his brother's ownership of stock iin the (Cincinnati league team. The fact that Colonel Bryan actually played In an amateur game the other day and caught two flies .has encour aged his supporters to believe that the fans can be divided. Secretary Taft's supposed .monopoly of the golf vote continues intact, however." "Prohibitionists may find food for thought in conditions at Jacksonville, one of the Illinois towns which went dry at the recent election," observes the Burlington G-azette. "The Courier of that city, which was a warm advo cate of the temperance movement, in an editorial la.st night acknowledged that affairs there were in a worse state than ever before and that drunkenness was on the increase." "Any movement to repeal the pri mary law in the next legislature would be ill timed," vsays the Iowa City Cit izen. "The law should have a fair trial of several elections before any radical changes are made. No fair es timate of its usefulness can b's made from one election season." "The mayor of an Indiana town is offering prizes for the best essays 'by school .children on 'How to Afake the Donnsll In 8t. Louis Globe-Democra' City More Beautiful.' Some of t.lie chil dren will be sure to suggest moro corner lots for base ball games," com ments the Lake City News. "Andrew Townsend Hisey of Tama, Is making the necessary arrangements to campaign this state again for gov ernor, but this time astride a mule— that Is, if he shall not bo sooner re strained .by being sent to the insane institution," according to the Eldora Herald.

Jn more densely populated counties it was more. Altho Cummins had nothing to do with the letter, he refused to go back on the friends who were the author of 'It. It is a case of a man's fool friends doing tolm up." "It Is probable Wiat the postofflce de partment will follow up its announce ment of a reduction from five cents to two of the postage on mall to England, with a similar announcement affecting France, Germany, Italy and other European countries," remarks the Dubuque Telegraiph-Herftld. "The re duction In the rate will probably ef fect to increase rather than diminish the postal revenues, ifor the cheaper a' thing In demand Is -made, the greater is the demand.'' "We understand that the board of supervisors has concluded to try a couple of voting machines, tlhls fall. It is a mighty good .move," the Maquo keta 'Excelsior says. "After one trial we think there is tittle doubt that these machines will be placed In every precinct In the county. 'The world do move,' and we must keep up with the procession.

Imm Jurce 16 1908 ID Address ot Temporary Chair man Pays Scant Ileed to Live Issues GLORIES DEEDS OF LONG PAST Burrows Contents Himself With Lau­ dation of Party'# Accomplishments of Long Ago—Work of Roosevelt and His Aids Given Only Passing Notice. Chicago, June 16. When the republican national convention was called to order at noon to day, Chairman New, of the national committee, Introduced as the tempor ary chairman Senator Burrows of Michigan, who spoke in part as fol lows: "In the approaching election, a presi dent and vice president of tho United States, a full membership of the house of representatives, consisting of 393 members and delegates, and 80 United States senators from as many differ ent states are to be chosen. The result, Involving as it does the control of both the executive and legislative branches of the national government, with the opportunity for a change of parties and policies, is of transcendent import ance and far-reaching consequences, involving the states and the nation. What the Party Has Done. "Four years ago the republican pSf ty in national convention submitted the record of its achievements to tho American people, announced Its policies for the future, and, Invoking contin uance of public favor, placed in nom ination for the office of president and vice president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt and Charles W. Fairbanks, who were elected and tho platform approved by a popular vote of 7,623,485, a record unexampled In the history of political parties since the foundation of the government, re ceiving the indorsement of 82 states out of the 45, with but 18 In opposi tion. "In view of this indorsement, it be comes pertinent and opportune to in quire, 'What has. the republican party done in the last four years of govern mental control'—in many respects the most remarkable and brilliant In the history of the party and the country— to forfeit public confidence or create distrust In its capacity for future ad ministration? Altho some untoward and unforeseen conditions have beset the republic during the last four years, yet these have been met and overcome with alacrity and courage, and the country has marched steadily onward in its matchless course of industrial triumphs. The wise and beneficent legislation of the republican party dur ing th«i long years of Its ascendency and administration of national affairs laid the foundation for the public weal so securely that no disquieting condition, not even a temporary panic, which necessarily touches the main spring of all industrial life, could ar rest the country's resistless advance. Increase in Natural Wealth. "Since the last national republican convention, four years ago, our popu lation has increased from millions to 87^4 millions, while 4 millions of immigrants from every quarter of the globe have found welcome to our shores and protection under our flag. "During the last four years our flocks and herds have increased in val ue from 2,998 million dollars to 4,331 millions. "The value of our farm products from 5,917 millions to 7,412 millions. "The output of coal from 314 mil lion tons to 420 millions. "Our product of gold from 74 mil lions of dollars to 90 millions. "The accumulation in savings banks of 2,815 million dollars in 1903 was augmented to 3,495 millions in 1907. "The deposits in all banks In 1903, aggregating 9,5-53 million dollars, reached the fabulous sum of 13 billions in 1907, an increase of 3,546 million dollars in four years. "Two millions of spindles in our cot ton mills were added, and the domestic cotton used in our factories in 1907 amounted to over 5 million bales, as against 3,924,000 bales in 1903. "The importations of raw silk to sup ply our mills increased from a little over 15 million pounds In 1903 to near ly 19 million pounds in 1907. "In spite of the disquieting condi tions incident to the regulation of rates on interstate railroads, 20 thou sand miles of new trackage have been added in the past four years. "The tonnage of vessels passing thru the Sault Ste. Marie canal has in creased from 28 millions in 1903 to 44 millions in 1907. "The output of pig iron, the barome ter of trade, in 1907 was 25.781.000 tons, as against a little'over 18 million tons in 1903, and our exports of iron and steel Increased from $96,642,000 In 1903 to $181,531,000 in 1907. "The cotton fabrics wrought in Am erican mills from our domestic fiber consumed in 1903 3,924 million bales, while in 1907 they required more than 5 millions. "Our exports of manufactures ad vanced from 468 million dollars in 1903 to 740 millions in 1907. "Our imports of row material for use in domestic manufacture increased from 330 million dollars in 1903 to 477 millions in 1907, while our exports in the calendar year of 1907 were nearly 2 billion dollars, an increase of 30 per cent over those of four years ago. The Executive Departments. "The mills and factories temporarily closed by reason of financial disturb ances are rapidly resuming operations, calling labor back to profitable em ployment. "This record of material activity in field and forest, factory and farm, mines and mills during the last four years might be indefinitely extended, but this Is quite sufficient to show the development and robust condition of our industrial life. "The nine great executive depart ments of government, thru which the head of the nation speaks, and acts, have advanced with steady and reso lute steps within the sphere of their activities, presenting a record of (achievements during the last four years of (Intelligent and progressive administration unexampled in the his tory of the government. "The agricultural department has continued its work in (promoting the interest of the farmers by diversifying their .products supplying new and valuable seeds and pkuits especially adapted to our climate and soil erad icating diseases which infest and de stroy iiiiiiual and vegetable .life: de veloping the beet-sugar industry from 40 millions to 480 million tons, valued at 43 million dollars enforced tho pure food law, enhancing the value of farm products, conserving the health of all our people distributed during the year 1907 nearly 17 million 'bulletins provided (for over 2,000 scientists to gather .Information for tho benefit of agriculture protected our forest re serves 'from the ravage* of fire con verted the arid lands and waste places into fertile fields, and blossoming gar dens extended our producing area for grains wostward Into the dry re gions, so that nearly CO million bushels a year are being grown In regions which have heretofore boon unproduc tive, and In every way possible con serving tho natural resources of the eountry for ourselves and tho gener atlonj to eorne after us. "Tho department of commerce and labor, organized In 1903, has been ac tlvo and potential In extending our commerce and protecting our labor. It has dispatched messengers to foreign countrlos, particularly to South Amer ica and the Orient, to learn the needs and tastes of the people with a view of Increasing our trade. The exports, which In 1903 aggregated 1,392 mill Ion dollars, will, it Is estimated. In 1908 aggregate about 1,900 millions, showing an increase practically to every country. Its bureau of statistics has established system of recording the Internal commerce of the country on the groat lakes and at Important Interior centers. Its bureau -of man ufactures has brought about more in timate relations between the manu facturers of the United States and buyers abroad, and, by bringing pur chasers Into closer touch With dealers, aided In the extension of foreign mar kets for our manufactures. v^ The Work of Congress. Yt "The congress just closed re-enacted the law passed by the Fifty-ninth con gress to conform to the opinion of the supreme court, making common car riers liable for accidents to their em ployes engaged in Interstate com merce. It has enacted a law for the further protection of the life of rail road employes In their hazardous em ployment. It has (provided compensa tion for* laborers and imecfaanlca who may be Injured in the service of the government, and making a provision for their families In the event of their being killed in the course of their em ployment. It has enacted a model child-labor law for the District of Columbia. It has directed a thorough Investigation into the working condi tions of the employes of the telegraph ajid telephone companies .doing inter state business and, in response to the urgent appeal from both capital and labor, congress, before Its adjourn ment, appropriated $150,000 for an in vestigation into the cause of mine ac cidents, with a view of promoting the safety of workers in our mines. "It Is within bounds to say that no previous sessions of congress have dis played a more active or intelligent In terest in the needs of the wage-earners than the past three sessions, nor has there heretofore in the same length of time been as much-Important and pro gressive legislation In the interests of this class of our fellow-citizens. "The work of the department of the interior has been prosecuted under the present administration with intelli gence and vigor. During the past year over 2 million acres of coal lands have been restored to the public domain. During the last five years fences un lawfully closing public lands have been removed from 3,519,533 acres, and steps are now being taken to remove from such inclosures 3,750,000 other acres. "During the past five years $516,501 have been collected for timber tres passes upon the public land, and other judgments have been collected on claims compromised, yielding $510,681.

(Fonda Times) Iowa has for years stood at the top of the column in educational affairs the state has provided the nation with many eminent men in the pro ductiveness of her farms she is un equaled but in the construction of hard roads this commonwealth Is near the bottom of the list, standing close to Mississippi and below Mis souri, Indiana, which has a definite system of road building, (has 25,000 miles of hard roads—'lineal mileage enough to encircle the globe. Thilrty-flve per ©»nt of Indiana's high ways are hard roads. While the tariff is important and railroad rates do affect the prosper ity of the farmer, to how muoh greater an extent the .prosperity of the farmer is dependent on the kind of roads he must travel from his farm to his mar ket perhaps only he can tell. It would seem reasonable at least that a move ment in favor of better highways ought to receive the support of the farmers of the state. Here is an op portunity for the reformer to get a hearing. Let some would-be leader put a plank favoring .hard roads into his platform. 'His «ippeal for support ought to meet with ready response. There is a chance for the man who advocates the "reforming" of Iowa's country roads. CASTOR IA for Infants and Children. 7 [lit KM Yao Hate Always Bought Bears the Signature of SIDEWALK NOTICE.

FINE BLOCK FOR QUILT. (A J* Marshalltown Girl Secures Autographs of Prominent Men for Church Quilt. A letter to a Cheyenne, Wyo., paper from Washington, D. C., tells of the preparation by Mrs. Leona M. Wells, of this city, of an autograph block for a quilt that is to be made by the ladies of the Congregational church at Chey enne. The blbck that Mrs. Wells will contribute contains the autographs of twelve of the most prominent men in the United States, which were person ally secured by her for the quilt. The Cheyenne paper prints the following concerning the novel undertaking: "Mrs. L. M. Wells, assistant clerk of the senate committee on military affairs, is preparing an interesting block or square which is .to form a part of an'autograph quilt which the ladies of the First Congregational church of Cheyenne are making. The block which Mrs. Wells is preparing is about a foot square and on it are the autograph signatures of twelve of the most prominent men in national life at the present time. There are the auto graphs of President Roosevelt, Vice President Fairbanks, Speaker Cannon, Secretary of War Taft, United States Senators William B. Allison, C. D. Clark, F. E. Warren, J. B. Foraker, N. B. Scott, P. C. Knox and James A. Hemenway, and Representative F. W. Mondell. "The autographs are written upon the linen composing the material for the block, and will be worked out with silk thread. Mrs. Wells obtained the signatures personally from the distin guished signers, and it is safe to say that the block will be an attractive one among the fifty-six composing the FIRE CAPTAIN WEDS. Anton Scheid, of Station No. 2, Sur prises Friends by Taking Bride. It is now up to Capt. C. C. Pigman, of central fire station. The uptown captain has been on the waiting list for a. long time, and if an official guess were to have been made on who was to.first join the ranks of the bene dicts, the uptown or south side cap tain, it' would have been a ten-to-one shot on Pigman, especially after tak ing into consideration the amount of time the captain spends at Waterloo. But it remained for the south side captain to do the surprising, and it be came noised about fire circles yester day that Capt. Anton Scheid of station Times No. 2, had wedded Miss Marthine Lionning, at Cedar Rapids. Captain Scheid acknowledges the truth of the report. The wedding was quietly cele brated on Friday, at the home of Rev. A. A. Couser, until recently pastor of the First United Evangelical church of this city. The bride Is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Lonning. of oU Anson street. MISS HUFFAKER TO EUROPE. Marshalltown Girl and Miss Glaspell to Do Continent.

The band management points to the fact that it was engaged to play for a me morial service and that is why it was so late in arriving at the ball park. The T.-R. understood the situation clearly, and meant no offense what ever. What It did expect to convey was the disappointment of the crowd I not being able to hear more band mus ic, and not that the band had inten tionally appeared only for a short time. The band donated Its services for the game, and the management claims played five selections instead of two, as mentioned in the story of the game.

Chicago, June 16.—Cattle were strong. The bulk of receipts were butchers of rather poor quality. In sizing up prospects for the im mediate future of trade for choice to prime steers, there are few who fear a reaction from present ihlgh levels, figuring that the right kinds are too scarce to afford buyers chopping off much In values. For some time, how ever, the grassers have 'been due to get a "^bumping" in value. It was ex pected that these would go lower last week, and while they were off in first days they closed strong only to go higher. The grassers are claimed to be selling at dangerously .high prices and the trade points out that when the slump comes, it should be a big one. Hogs. Hogs opened steady and closed 6 cents lower. Demand was poor. With the recent heavier receipts the market has shown little If any inclin ation to shade off, because the packers have had to get in for their supplies and the outside talent has been pretty numerous in picking up offerings. The lack of a Kansas City market may have had some effect in increasing local business.^ 4&: Sheep. Sheep were weak and the market was very dull. With not so good a demand the mar ket has shown some tendency to slight weakness. With large receipts and no pressing demand apparent from any source of heavy consumption, there has been nothing to give immediate promise of certainty of better condi tions, at least not permanently better conditions. Offerings of southern spring lambs have made a strong showing but have not been In much demand. Com mon light springs move rather heavily, too.

Owing to the small proportion of stockers and feeders recently included in arrivals, trade has been showing a slightly better tone. Local dealers have been giving most of the support to the market, but country buyers are ex pected to be by the middle of the week. Killers have been after strong weights for cheap carcasses, and being willing to pay for them higher prices than the fpeder buyers, the latter class of tradesmen have been held off.

Grinnell, June 16.—At the regular meeting of the school board of this city last evening, Miss Hester Sanders and Miss Margaret Christian, both of this city, were elected to fill vacancies in the high school. Miss Christian has been teaching the past year in Everett, Wash, and was re-elected there at ^n increase in salary, but finds the cli mate not so good for her health as that of Iowa, and will return home to be with her parents. Mrs. Mae Gohl man, of Conrad, was e.lected to a place in the grades. Mrs. Sarah Davis, accompanied by her daughter Lina, and her grandson Wilfred, went to Tama yesterday' morning for a brief visit with her son, Reece Davis, at that place, and will go from there to the home of another daughter in Pomona, Calif., where she will probably make her home for the coming year. The following recent births are an nounced by the parties most interest ed In the events: To Mr. and Mrs. James Mcllrath, of Hickory Grove township, on Saturday last, a daugh ter to Mr. and Mrs. Richard D. Clark, of this city, on Sunday, a daughter: and to Mr. and Mrs. J. S. McCunlflf, yesterday morning, a son. Announcement is made of a wedding tomorrow at noon, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A: Mehlin, of this city, when Miss Ella Mehlin and Mr. S. R. Wil liams will be united in marriage. Both are graduates of Iowa College, classes of '02 and '01 respectively, and both have been engaged in teaching since graduation. Their future home Will be in Oberlln, where Mr. Williams will be at the head of the physics depart ment. The Waterloo, Pella Southwestern" railway project, which has seemed to •be sleeping for some time, so far as a iy signs of activity in this vicinity are concerned, has awakened, and money is being asked for the prelimin ary surveys now hi progress. A com mittee consisting of H. W. Spaulding, W. iC. Rayburn and Prof. S. C. Buck has been put in charge of the $1,000 raised among the citizens here to pay for such services, only after evidence is produced that the service has ac tually been performed. Surveyors have •been active for^ome days on the line of entrance and exit to and from the city, and citizens are only too anx ious that the good work should go on, realizing that rapid action must soon take place if the road is completed within the time limit of Jan. 1, 1910. A sharp discussion Is taking place In one of the local papers of this city, regarding the necessity for the proper inspection of milk furnished to the people of the city, and of the cows that furnish the milk,, supply. Some mem bers of the counoil appear to object to municipal inspection, upon the score of cost, claiming that such action would be oppressive to the owners of the cows. The advocates of municipal in spection insist that the matter of cost will be comparatively slight, at the most, that it will be borne by the consigner of the milk in the end any way, and, finally, that, no matter what the cost or who* bears it, the matter of the heaflith and the very life of the community should not be weighed against a money consideration. An ordinance has been proposed, provid ing that each cow from which milk is sold to the public, shall pass the test for tuberculosis germs at least once a year, and only such as are en tirely free from such germs shall fur nish milk for tlie city. W. R. Ward, of Dyersburg, Tenn., writes: "This Is to certify that I have used Orlno Laxative Fruit Syrup for chronic constipation, and it has proven, without a doubt, to be a thorough, practical remedy for this trouble ,and it is with pleasure I offer my conscien tious reference."—McBride Will Drug 4-Co. IHarahantouin forar, Jinre 16 1908 Platform Unrequivocal For S Tariff Revision (Continued From Page One.) and obeyed. We indorse the move ment inaugurated by the president for co-operative conservation of natural resources we favor the preservation •of the White Mountain and Appalach ian forest: and we approve all iiic h 11 res to prevent the waste of timber. I We com men the work now going on for the reclamation of arid lands. No obligation of the future is more insist ent, and none will result In greater blessings to posterity. In line with this splendid undertaking Is the further duty, equally Imperative, to enter upon the systematic improvement upon a large and comprehensive plan, just to all portions of the country, of water ways, harbors and the great lakes, whose natural adaptability to the in creasing traffic of the land is one of our greatest gifts. FAVORS NAVY POLICY. "The Sixtieth congress passed many commendable acts increasing the effi ciency of the army and navy making the militia of the states an Integral •part of the national establishment authorizing joint maneuvers of the army and militia fortifying new naval bases and completing the construction of coaling stations instituting female nurse corps for naval hospitals and .ships, adding two new battleships and ten torpedo boat destroyers, three steam colliers and eight submarines to strengthen the navy. Altho at peace with the world, and secure in the con sciousness American people do not de sire and will not provoke war with any other country, we nevertheless declare our unal terable devotion to the policy that will keep this republic ready at all times to defend her traditional principles, pro tect her citizens at home and abroad, and assure her appropriate part in pro moting permanent tranquility among the nations. GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS. "Conspicuous contributions of Amer ican statesmanship to the great cause of International peace so signally ad vocated In The Hague conference are an occasion for just pride and gratifi cation. At the last, session of the sen ate of the United States eleven of The Hague conventions were ratified, es tablishing the rights of neutrals, the laws of war on land, restriction of submarine mines, the limiting of force for the collection of contractual debts, governing the opening of hostilities, extending application of the geneva principles and many ways of lessening the evils of war, and promoting a peaceful settlement of international controversies. At the same session twelve arbitration conventions with great nations were confirmed, and ex tradition, boundary and naturalization treaties of importance were ratified. We indorse such achievements as the supremest duty of a nation can per form, and proclaim our obligation of further strengthening the bond of friendship and good will with all na tions of the world. MARINE AND PENSIONS. V® *'14 "We adhere to the republican doc trine of encouragement to American shipping and urge such legislation as will revive the merchant marine and the prestige of the country, so essen tial to national defense, the enlarge ment of foreign trade and the Indus trial prosperity of our own people. "We indorse the movement designed to, secure the organization of all exist ing national public health agencies in to a single national health department, and favor such legislation as will effect this purpose. "Another republican policy which must be ever maintained is that of generous provision for those who have fought the country's battles and for 1 the widows and orphans of those who have fallen. We commend the increase 1 in widow's pensions made by the last congress and declare for the liberal administration of all pension laws to the end that the people's gratitude may grow deeper as the memories of the heroic sacrifice grow more sacred with progressing years." ~i- OUR DEPENDENCIES. "The American government In re publican hands has freed Cuba, given .peace and protection to Porto Rico and the Philippines under our flag, and begun the construction of the Panama canal. Present conditions in Cuba vindicate the wisdom of maintaining between that republic and this, im perishable bonds of mutual interest, and hope is naw expressed that the Cuban people will soon again be ready to assume complete sovereignty over their land. "In Porto Rico the government of the United States is meeting with T. W. B. KING, Auctioneer. Joyal and patriotic support, order and prosperity prevail, and the well-being of the peoiple is being in every respect •promoted as deserved. "In the Philippines insurrection has been suppressed, law established, and life and property made secure. Edu cation and practical experience are there advancing the capacity of the people for government, and the poli cies of McKinley and Roosevelt are leading the Inhabitants st«ip by step to every Increasing measure of home I rule. I "Time has justified the selection of the Panama route for the great islh I mlan canal, and events have shown the wisdom of securing full authority over the wine thru which it is to be built. Work- Is now progressing with a ra pidity and energy far beyond expecta tions, and already a realization of the I century'vS hopes has come within vision I of the near future. DEMOCRATIC DELINQUENCIES. "We enII the attention of the Ameri I can people to the fact that none of the great measures here advocated by the republican party could be enacted, and none of the steps forward here pro posed could be taken under a demo cratic administration, or under one in which party responsibility was divid ed. The tariff could not be revised a permanent currency system could not be established federal supervision over the railroads and large aggregations of capital could not be extended nor could any new duties confronting the country be performed by a party which is unable to agree within itself on any public question, and is un willing to co-operate with a party that can agree. Continuance of the pres ent policies, therefore, absolutely re quires the continuance in power of the party that believes in them and that possesses the capacity to put them Into operation. PARTY DIFFERENCES DEFINED. "Beyond platform declarations, there are fundamental differences between the republican party and Its chief op ponent, which makes one worthy and the other unworthy of public trust. In history the difference between democ racy and republicanism is that one stood for secession and the other for the union: one for slavery, and the other for freedom one for debased currency, the other for pure currency one for free silver, the other for sound money one for free trade, and the other for protection one for the con traction of American influence, the other for Its expansion one has been forced to abandon every position taken on great issues before the people, while the other has been vindicated. The difference between democracy and re publicanism is that one means advers ity, while the other means prosperity one means low wages, the ottyer means high one means doubt and debt the other means confidence and thrift. DIFFERENCE IN PRINCIPLES. In principle, the difference between democracy and republicanism is that one stands for vacillation and timidity in government, the other for strength and purpose one stands for obstruc tion, the other for construction one promises, the other performs one finds fault, the other finds work. The pres ent tendencies of the two parties are even more marked by inherent differ ences. The trend of democracy is to ward socialism, while the republican party stands for wise and regulated in dividualism. Socialism would give to each, the equal "right to take: repub licanism would give to each, the equal right to earn. Socialism would offer equality of possession, which would soon leave no one anything to possess. Republicanism would give equality of opportunity, which would assure to each his share ot the constantly in creasing store of possessions. In line with this tendency, the democratic par ty of today believes In government ownership, While the republican party believes in government regulation. Ul timately, democracy would have the nation own the people, while republi canism would have the people own the nation. Upon this platform of princi ples and purposes, reaffirming our ad herent to every republican doctrine proclaimed since the birth of the party, we go before the country asking the support not only of those who have acted with us heretofore, but of all our fellow citizens, who, regardless of past political differences, unite in the desire to maintain the policies, perpetuate the blessings, and make secure the achievements of greater America.
