Bourne Gives Unqualified Backing to
taft For President.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5. When
the time tomes for the selection of the
next .'president, Senator Jonathan
Bourne of Oregon, will be strenuous
ly demanding the re-election of Taft,
according to his statement here.
He said: ."I: am for him now, the
next time and always". I think he
will make one' of 'the greatest pres
idents of bur history. I think Roose
velt will return to aid 'Taft in carry
ing out the policies and will stump
for Taft. If necessary he wilf be re
turned as senator from New York to
support Taft in congress."
curing sufficient exhibits . have come
true and thn mnnatfir ovhll.ltinn fcnll
'is full, filled up ' tight, the skatinsr
rink has barely walking room on lt,s
spacious floor.
Yesterday, last night, and until the
early morning hours, and again to
day, the carpenters have been making
more room o meet the demands of
exhibitors, and the results are self
evident that the fair is proving a
greater success than had been hoped'
for it. '
Tonight hilarity and glee is to run
rife, and it is anticipated that the
monster building will be filled with
city people. The farmers' who at
tended have gone home to spread the
good gospel, and the attendance here
after will be much greater. Rain
i can tr tf?i'.t the fair in any respect
for everything is covered perfectly
and securely. "
Many new features have been added
thi3 morning, and Ui the rink especi

best in every product of the soil is
laid out for inspection. The stock
yards are filled to overflowing, ma
king a compact, splendid and superb
array of . attractions such as Union

Attention is called to the program

shot Policeman Eckhart, when that
officer arrested him for disturbing the
peace recently, will probably be cap

are trying to down him near Leban

yesterday that "He would die with
his boots on."
Sheriff Mlnto has given orders to
take him either alive or dead. The
chase has been the most exciting
since the Tracy hunt.
