Three of the Hulk an stales by pom ni'Hi consent have ordered the simul taneous mobilization of their armies ami are making every preparation for iiiihu'dmtit hostilities. Two possible explanations are of fered, the first that a coalition of the Hrtlliau states exist: for the pur pose, of demanding from Turkey, be fore sin; has time to conclude, peace with Italy, tho grant of complete autonomy to tho Macedonia provinces; tho second that, fearing Turkey will seek an issue from her difficulties at home and abroad, in war, they are preparing themselves for a possible attack.

THE AITCVS DEATH TOLL. MADISON, Wis., Oct. 1. The reader of tho five La Follette articles on Roosevelt which run in a series at intervals of a week beginning Friday will come to this conclusion: Senator La Follette and his follow ers will vote for Governor Wilson for President. Roosevelt will bo put out of con sideration by the attack on him as a "fake" progressive, who is parad ing around the country with a false face platform and hollow promises, which his record shows ho will not endeavor to keep. Tuft will be pictured as tho high est type of reactionary, but thorough ly honest, a quality not conceded to Roosevelt. "Blind Allcginnco" Deprecated. There will be no discussion of Wil son, but In his advieo to progres sives La Follette will point the way out of the dilemma presented by the TaTt and Roosevelt candidacies. It will bo this: "Real progressives should main tain their organization within the Republican party, so that In 1 01 G they will be ready to take upon their shoulders tho task of leadership and tho work of reform. "To maintain this organization within tho party, blind allegiance to every party nomination and to every party declaration is not essenfial. "No aid or encouragement Ikib been given to a third party, which .is try-, ing to divide the progressive Repub lican vote and destroy the progressive Republican movement." If La Follette progressives are not to give blind Hllegianco to party nominees, who are Taft" and Sher man, and are told to give no aid to a third party, which Is Roosevelt s. to whom nro they to turn? lo Wil son and Marshall, of course.

"Hut Col. lioosevell. thinks, or Hays ho thinks, that I was fantastically linprui-llcul. and for that reason could not have been of much assistance lu procuring tills legislation.

Fourteen thousand people, hud signed the peti tion urging Jonathan llourno to be an Independent candidate tor United Slates Senator when tho clock struck j 12 today. Tills number had been 'gathered since lust Tuesday. Either ibis aHernoon or tomorrow morning, A. A. Muck will inko the petition to ' Salem and Tito tho names with' the Secretary or State. Then Senator Uourno will bnve until next Saturday to accept. i All Iho members of tho advisory commit tee called on Senator liourjie last night, carrying tho petitions with them. At Hint time there were 12, 800 names represented. Tho com- . mlttee put tho question straight up to llourne whether in view or their signatures hu would retuso to be an independent candidate. For two hours the Senator talked with the commltten members, canvassed the .situation and then reserved ills de cision uulll Saturday, which Is tho last day on which ho can becomn a , candidate. This Is the date on which nil ncceplances must bo in. When shown tho signatures, Sena tor llourn expressed himself ns be lieving it a sinceru and general cnl! troin tho people. Tho petition rep resented between 12 and 15 per cent ot tho voters or the state, explained tho coiumllleo, with more signatures arriving dally. Two per cent or Hie vole cast ror Governor would havo been sufficient lo enable llourno to Ipc in Independent nominee. esl of the signatures havo been oh luincd in Multnomah County. Whether Mr. Muck will file the signatures that come In tho latter part or the week has not been deter mined. They may lie taken to Salem lo supplement tho list which ho Is to fl In this arieruoon. In connection with Mm Senatorial situation. Senator Chamberlain, who has returned to Oregon, says ho will very probably ho n candidate to suc ceed lilniseir at tho election two years hence. -If I reel that I can accomplish as much tor tho state during another lerm as L have been able to do dur ing the expired portion of the present lerm, I will probably lie a candidate. I have not much longer lo live, and I am willing to devote the bal ance of my tltno to statu work, and I think I can accomplish moro for Oregon in tho future. I do not ho llevo that anybody has done moro for the stalo t It ii it wo (the Senators) have done." This statement practically com mits 'h;i tn lii' 1 1 a I ll to the next cam paign and does away with tho rumors that he did not wish another term. If Chamberlain decides tbere Ib a call for him, It will Interfere with the supposed plans of Governor West tor tho Senatorship to succeed Cham berlain In 1914.
