Life in St. Paul this week .is just one big noise after another. Yesterday President Taft made an address, the National Conservation Congress was inaugu rated'and the Minnesota State Fair opened. Today Theodore Roosevelt Is ' In the city to address the biggest bunc'u nf national conservators ever gathered uriuir one roof, several hun dreds" of belated delegates having ar rived since President Taft made his little speech. The address of the former president Is breathlessly awaited by friend and foe. That he has it in his power to placate the Balllnger and Plnchot fac tions, causing them to dwell together as brethren for the remainder of the congress, or to send them, snarling and biting, at each other's throats, Is generally admitted. Many of the western delegates, oth- I erwise Inclined to be Insurgents pb lltleally, oppose the Pinchotv conserva tion program, alleging that It Involves the administration of the natural re sources, of the western states from Washington for the benefit of the country at large, and not for the good of the states In which the resources are situated. Thus another phase of the "state'B rights" question has crop ped up, setting the Interests of th West Hgainst those of the East. ' Aviator Completes Journey. London, Sept.

This because it was definitely decided this afternoon when Circuit Judge K.iowles handed down a decision on the tem porary restraining order issued last: week, following the effort of the school board at Union to ignore the petition signed by 160 taxpayers. The injunc tion was not dissolved and the boavii will be compelled to build its new structure at some point, other tha:i where it first contemplated. Judge Knowles found "That the. Union school board's action were without, the en dorsement of the voters and that the temporary Injunction should Lk made permanent;" Though really only short-lived, the strife has been Intense at Union. The school board was anxious to build on the site recently purchased from the county, but the taxpayers, 160-in number, signed a petition asking the board to build on another site which is said to be more suited for the pur poses.

Following the. recent primary, victories of the Lincoln-Roosevelt republican, league,', thpv republican state Convention op ened here today to promulgate a party platform a.nd. elect a new state cen tral committee. Hiram W. Johnson. Insurgent and progressive republican, was chosen as the 'gubernatorial can didate in the state primaries and fc-j and his followers will doubtless dic tate the platform Opposition to the alleged domination of California pol itics by the' Southern Pacific railway was the principal plank in the John son platform which won the nomina tion for the governorship. ' '.. The present state central committee is dominated by the "regulars," and at the meeting for calling the conven tion the members adopted resolutions endorsing the Payne-Aldrlch tariff bill '. and . denouncing "insurgency." Resolutions brought up by the insur gents denouncing the activities of the Southern Pacific political bureau were tabled by the, committee. Election in Vermont. Boston, Sept. 6. -All over the nation republican leaders are today eagerly awaiting the returns from Vermont, the barometer of the Grand Old Party. While there is no fear that the state is lost to the party, it Is recognized that there is such apathy this year that in almost any section of the state a man might proclaim himself a dem ocrat without fear of being lynched. Political doctors say the symptoms prevalent in Vermont today Indicate a considerable loss of republican strength. History records that a' big vote in the Green Mountain state al ways foreshadows the triumph of the party in the nation at arge, and, ow ing to Vermont's elections coming. In September, the vote of that state has assumed a great importance. In New Hampshire, too, where primaries are held today, there Is much republican discontent, with regular and Insurgent rivals for the gubernatorial nomina tion. Heat Marks Primary.

ITICUT fflR 1 1U III Ull i in: L LA POLLUTE WILL RETIRE lF'v . -NOMINATED TODAY. Consequently Primary in Wisconsin Today Is Crucial Hour of Life. '.'Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 6. United States Senator La Folate's fight for his political life will be decided1 by today's primaries. He has announced that he will not be a candidate for re election before tho legislature unless he wins In the primary contests, and if defeated today he will abandon his toga. During the campaign . just closed, the Wisconsin Senator has spent much of his time on his farm near Madison, ,: , , LaFollette's republican opponent for the senatorial toga Is Samuel A. Cook, of Neenah, a wealthy manufact urer who has been prominent in Wis consin politics for many years. The democrats will support Burt Williams formerly mayor of Ashland. In the past Senator LaFolletto has had the support of many democrats. Owing to the republican split this year, the democrats consider a victory for their own party and candidates as a possibility, and it Is probable that LaFollette will lose many votes on this account. The Socialists, having captured Milwaukee, are also a pow er to be reckoned with and may cut a swath lu the "Insurgent" ranks. Now that he has become alienated from the Stephenson forces, Senator LaFollette has had no financial as sistance from that source. This loss has been more than made up for by the assistance of William Mitchell Towlfl. the Insurgent candidate for governor. , Lewis is a multl-million-n Ire automobile and vehicle manufact urer of Racine. He has a wide pop ularity among the laboring classes, as well as business men, and has made a frank and open statement of his desire to capture the governorship and conduct the affairs of the state on a business basis. Francis McGovern, the regular aspirant to the guberna torial candidacy, has tho support of the brewery interests. Personally and politically, he has always been the friend of Senator La Follette. Adolph Schmltz, a Milwaukee lawyer, la the democratic candidate for governor. Hot fights have been waged in near ly every congressional district of the state. It is quite possible that in the two Milwaukee districts Socialists may be elected to congress. Victor Borger, one of the best known Social ists in the United States, is a candi date for congress from the Fifth dis trict. If elected, he will be the first Socialist to occupy a seat in the Unit ed States Congress. AH the parties hold their primaries today, the voting places being the same fcr all. The voter receives bal lots containing the names of all can didates of all parties. He is not per mitted, however, to mark more than one of the party ballots. If!

Cardinals whose names are familiar to all Catholics, scores of arch-bishops and bishops, hundreds of other, dignitaries and priests innumerable, coming from all over the world, are in the city today for the opening of the memorable congress, the first of its kind ever held In America. .ThetPope is personally represented at the congress by Cardinal Vincenzo Vannutel'li, prefect of the apostolic signatures at Rome and Cardinal Pro tector of the Sulpician Order.

An alleged "plot" to ruin the con gress by trapping priests In houses of 111 fame caused a sensation some time ago, but after an Investigation the ' story was found to have little If any basis In fact. It is Btated that the French Free Masons were the instiga tors of the "plot," arid several prom inent members of the lodge, Including city officials, leading physicians and Journalists, were called to give testi mony. Some pf them alleged that tho "plot" was designed to discredit the Free Masons, other than the reverse, as much prejudice against the orddr exists among the Catholics of the pro vince.
