The 'Governor said the big Demo cratie vote was "very gratifying." It was difficult, however, he said, to ana lyze the result in Vermont on any com parative basis because the total vote was so much-larger this year than two years ago and it was hard to trace th source of the gains. At any rate, he said the Vermont election indicated heavy vote through the country in the coming election and be said that he re garded It as significant that the Dem ocrats had carried the cities through out Vermont.

PARENTS DESERT BABES BABES S AND 15 MONTHS OLD LEFT WITH VETERAN. After Hoodwinking Aging Soldier, Mr. and Mrs. Brownell Leave Note Telling Friend What to Do. LEWISTON, Idaho, Sept. 5. Desert ed by .their parents, two babies, a boy about 15 months old, and a girl 3 months old, are being taken care of at the home of W. A. Stewart, an old soldier of Lewiston. They are chil dren of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Brownell, who came to this place a week or 10 days ago from Melrose, Idaho. A few days after their arrival there Mrs. Brownell swore out a complaint charging a bachelor of the Melrose lo cality with assault, alleging that the crime was committed against her on August 15. A pitiful story was told Mr. Stewart by the woman and her husband concerning the alleged, out rage. They also said that they were destitute circumstances. Mr. Stewart was impressed with the truthfulness of their story, and vol unteered to take the parents and chil dren to his home and provide them with a room and something to eat until the trial of the alleged statutory offense was over. About five o'clock in the morning he was awakened by the two babies cry- ng, and a little later went to the house to see what was the trouble and found the two little babies alone, with the following note lying on a stand: "Esq. Mr. Stewart: Please get a nipple for baby. We will come back some time if we can. We will 'not come back until we have made good. Yours truly, with best wishes, Winnie and Wes." "P. S. We will make good with ou. Stewart. See that babies have good care. You will hear from us soon. W. B. and W. B." The parents have not been heard from since, and abandonment Is now certain. The desertion of the children and failing to appear further at the trial leads many to believe that there was nothing in the charge of assault. OHIO AGAINST SUFFRAGE . Cftunt Shows Increasing Majority Withholding Votes From Women. COLUMBUS. Ohio, Sept '6.

TAFT "HIGH-MINDED" MAN Objection to President Is That He Does Not Trust People Enough, Johnson Is Called Real Pro gressive Leader. LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. 5. Willia Jennings Bryan addressed a crow which filled the vast auditorium at the fair grounds last night to overflowln and for more than two hours held hi udience while he scored Roosevelt, The crowd cheered at every opportun lty Declaring that Governor Johnson is the biggest man in the Progressive movement, the speaker launched into his attack on Roosevelt by saying: I would far rather see Johnson President and Roosevelt Vice-Presi dent and I would spend the rest of my time praying tHat Johnson would not ale. Tuft "Too Distrustful." The speaker's objection to Taft was that he Is too distrustful oi tne peo ple." and- that Roosevelt Is too trust ful of himself. He had never known a man, the speaker said, who has such overpowering confidence in himself. 'Mr. Roosevelt." Mr. Bryan contin ued. "is now claiming to be the leader In the Progressive movement, when his Progressive convictions are only two years old. I have been a. 'progressive for 20 years and know all of the lead ers in the 'progressive' and reactionary movements. Roosevelt never, until inn camDaitrn. has been among the advo cates of the former movement. Never durinr the time he was President did he chamDlon the direct election of Senators and during the time he was President he refused to bring It beiore Conirress in a message. He did no try to prevent the voting down of a Dlank on this subject in tne conven tion of 1908 and only became converted to this view two years ago. Reform Ideas Are New. Mr. Roosevelt's speeches on the in come tax question-are like the visits of angels few and far between. He nas only favored the initiative and refer endum for two years and five years ago he sent Mr. Taft to Oklahoma to talk against this reform. Roosevelt is for railroad regulation by the "eaerai gov ernment, but was not so until alter 1904 and after two Democratic plat forms had declared for this reform. Roosevelt's Dosition on the trust uestlon is farther from right than is Mr. Taft's. He would take from the states their right to regulate by leg islation and put it in the hands of the Federal Government. He approves the Standard Oil decision and approves the use of the word 'reason. Mr. Bryan spoke of his previous de feats being caused by the aid of power ful corporations and expressed the be lief that it is Roosevelt's purpose to put these corporations under the direct control of the President, so they would be compelled to support him thereafter In the effort t perpetuate his power. Taft's Integrity Undoubted. He considered Mr. Taft a high-mind ed man. a man of much integrity, ho would, if he were elected Presi- ent. do what he thought was right. His objection to Mr. Taft was that he does not trust the people. 'If the President," he said, "knew the common people as he knows those from whom he takes advice, he would know that they are sacrificing more for their country than are the men who are managing his campaigns and tell ing him what to do. More reforms have taken place dur ing the Taft Administration than dur ing any other of recent years. Yet the President cannot claim credit for one of these. Do you know why they call Taft a 'standpatter?' It Is because he stands still and lets the people pass him." CONGRESS RETURNS COMPLETE Republicans Win Five of Eleven California Nominations.

DE WOLF HOPPER ONLY 53 YEARS YOUNG, GIVES TIPS Clever Comic Opera Favorite Says All Can Stay Youthful if They Will Twinkle-Star Eyes Show He Remains So. BT LEONE CASS BAER. F I didn't live in fear and trem bling of being thought sycophan tish I would like to go on-record as saying I like your town." De Wolf Hopper was giving a cor rect imitation of trying jto be serious for three minutes. He demonstrated that it can be done, but not by De Wolf Hopper." He was wrapped In the briny atmosphere of his role as Dick Dead eye. The tang of the salt sea was in his get-up, but naught he said savored f the deep. On the contrary, he was decidedly light and airy In his lnter- viewish mood, and waxed exceedingly merry. He says that as a matter of truth he likes Portland far and "ahead of many towns. That he has ridden once daily this is the fifth day he's been here to Council Crest and to the City Park. He says he goes to the Crest hoping to someday catch a glimpse of Mount Hood. He goes to the park to watch the bears. Poor Bear Hi Victim. I buy all the peanuts at the corner stands and ruin the digestion or all h hears." he said. "But I have a good time. I laugh until I make the welkin ring I guess there's a welkin near the park, isn't there?" When Hopper stops iukihk uwjen his eyes run right on with the thought. Very bright, rouna as any button, except trimming buttons on la dies' dresses and of a rich, muddy gray are Hopper's eyes, set 'way up high in a large expanse of face. They winkle like tne now-i-wonuer-wnm- ou-arc star and are really tunaiy and benevolent in their beams. And he beams on every one. From pretty Alice Brady, who came rushing in to ask the mighty Hopper opinion on the color scheme of a scarf about her head, to the acutely bronze valet who hustled in and out of the dressing-room. Hopper turned a smil ing face and distributed gentle persi flage. He says he is practising all the time on not worrying. "It sounds bromldic in this day of advice and with the 'helpful hints' columns overcrowded, but I firmly be lieve that any person can attain just whatever he wants most In life if he will eliminate the character-crushing things and pick only the helpful agents. I'm a great believer in the power of thought. And I believe, If I have any creed. It Is an earnest desire that I may stay happy." .. Old Aare Abhorred. Also Mr. Hopper wants to stay young. He has passed three years past the half century milestone, and in heart Is still a youth. The recipe, he says, for old age is "inextinguishable youth." He believes no one need grow even middle-aged. "Youth," says this young man is more internal than external, and like marriage and the style of wearing one's hair, it should be a matter each individual decides for himself." Following the form of a local pa per's advertising of a fair mysterious one's scheduled appearances, "the pub lic is notified to look for De Wolf Hopper at the ball grounds today. He will not wear his mask and is going to enjoy the game. The reputation of "Casey" forces hira willy-nilly to be a fan. STOMACH SOUR? GOT INDIGESTION ALSO ?

Jones de clared that in previous years tags with clasps on them had brought about many complaints, as people could easily remove the olasps and steal the tags. A suggestion I. have to make, con cluded Jones, "Is that you tie the tag to the dog's tall. In that manner the dog-catchers would be certain to ob serve the tag and pass up your dog." An. Innocent bystander suggestea that the master mechanic of the Are department be brought Into requisition to nut on the tag. I tell you all that the tag will De put on the dog before morning," said McCord, scornfully. "I admit I am no mechanic myself and that I don't think anything at all of this tag, but will waeer a month s pay that Mrs. McCord will put the tag on without any trouble.
