HAS HORROR OF GABBERT Republican Chairman Falls to Se cure Declination of Chief Jus tice, Which Is Sole Alterna tive Slay Reorganize. DENVER. Sept. 17. Philip B. Stew v art. recently nominated for .Governor of Colorado on the Republican ticket, tonight sent a letter to the Republican state chairman, declining the nomina tion. While the letter does not state it In so many words, the reason Mr. Stewart declined to run Is the placing of Chief Justice William Oabbert on the ticket as candidate for re-election to the supreme bencll. Before the con vention Mr. Stewart advised against the nomination of Gabbert. When the nomination was made, Stewart was not present, being ill at his hotel. He did not learn that Gabbert's name was on the ticket until Sunday, and it is said he declared to State Chairman Vivian that he would not run on the same ticket with a Populist. Gabbert Will Not Withdraw. A very diplomatic letter was sent to Gabbert, who was elected to the su preme bench six years ago as a Popu list. Gabbert is said to have declared he would not withdraw if the entire Republican ticket refused to run with him. Mr. Stewart then gave the Re publican State Central Committee until 10 o'clock tonight to get Gab bert off the ticket. As no move was apparently made In that direction, he Issued the following tonight to Vivian: I bear to Inform you that I forwarded to the Secretary of State my declination of the nomination recently tendered me by the State Republican Convention. Quite Impossible to Run. I very deeply regret that a sudden and aevere attack of illness prevented, under di rections of my physician, the report of the work of the convention being brought to my attention prior to its final adjournment on Saturday last. A later account of the convention, however, makes it quite lmposelble for me to render to the state and to the party the service which 2 had confidently hoped to perform In tho coming campaign. I wish to express through you to the Republicans of the state my sin cere appreciation of the honor conferred by my nomination nd of the many personal as surances of regard and to assure that my efforts for the success of the party and Its principles will be In no way relaxed. Another Convention Likely. It is reported tonight that Judge Charles F. Caswell, who was nominat ed with Gabbert for the supreme bench, will withdraw his name from the ticket tomorrow. There was also a report current to night that the Republicans would call another convention and nominate an entirely new ticket. FOR DIRECT PRIMARY LAW Republican County Conventions Al ;most All Approve Snch Legislation. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 17. (Special.) Platforms adopted by the Republican county conventions of the state show clearly that the state convention will re quire the passage of a direct primary law by the next Legislature. - It is significant of the various county platforms that most of them demand the direct primary for Congressional and Senatorial nomina tions. Comparatively few of the counties specifically indorse any form of a prim ary law, but most of those held since the State Primary League drafted its bill approve the act. The unanimity with which the direct , primary law is indorsed la the most strik ing feature of the county platforms. There is a general indorsement of the National and state administrations, but an indorsement of the state administra tion is conspicuously absent in King County. In a few counties the conven tions failed to indorse Senators Piles and Ankeny by name, but practically every convention referred to them in terms of approval. Congressman Jones showed a big gain of strength In Central Washington. He is singled out. particularly in those coun ties where irrigation projects have been under way, for especial commendation. In view of the fact that Congressman Jones looms large as a Senatorial possi bility. In the event Senator Ankeny for any reason should not ask a renomlna tlon, the special recognition of his Con gressional work in Eastern Washington has a deep Interest to politicians. The East Side counties are still refer ring in political platforms to the rail road legislation of the state, and several took occasion to commend the Washing ton Senators for their stand with Presi dent Roosevelt on railway regulation. It Is" a rather striking fact that Spokane, the former hotbed of railroad agitation did not dip into political railroad legisl latlon with its platform. Douelas Countv asked th CI.,. T.it road Commission for a lowering of grain rates, but that was the only East Side county which demanded specific action in railroad matters. Whitman County es pecially commended tho r mission, but this was to be expected, for John C. Lawrence was named Commis sioner from that eountv. T.lncnin'.. oii road plank is extended and congratulates the people upon the enactment of rail road legislation, state and National. The fact that both Senators voted for the President's railroad rate bill Is com mented upon favorably In Lincoln. Stev ens draws attention to railroad legisla tion by the Democratic party. Douglas was the only county in the state to demand a repeal of the present road law, but there is a strong undercur rent of feeling in Kitsap that Indicates that county would stand with Douglas In such a fight. Whitman commended the present road law, but asked that the Supervisor district be made smaller. The opening of the Pend d'Orellle to navigation by Congressional appropria tion was demanded by Stevens County, while Okanogan asks for more attention to the irrigation projects. In that county and asks for an extension of soldiers' rights to public lands. Okanogan also wants relief granted to settlers in the Cherokee strip of the Okanogan irriga tion project. Spokane took the lead in a demand for the division of the state into Congres sional districts, but the keynote eounded there last June was not taken up by other counties. Stevens fell into line, but the platforms from other districts do not Indicate the demand will be general. Benton asks for the creation of a Ju dicial district to comprise Adams. Frank lin arid Benton Counties. A fight against C. J. Lord's monopoly of state deposits was started by Thurston County and is certain to be carried into the next Legislature, even if it does not crop out at the state convention. The hand of State Tax Commissioner J. H. Easterday is apparent in this plank, for Easterdiy fought while a member of the Legislature and afterward when he dropped out to secure the designation of state depositories and the collection of Interest on state funds. Snohomish asks for the passage of an elgh-hour law for miners, and King County demands the enactment of a law which would permit parents to collect damages for the death of a child, over 21. upon whom they are dependent for support. This is practically the only labor legislation in the county platforms, but it is probable the railroad employes' organizations will a-k for a state indorse ment of laws limiting the hours of em ployment for trainmen and that the labor organizations will go before the state convention. In the homes of the Congressmen the "stand pat" policy on tariff legislation Is appproved. President Roosevelt Is in dorsed by every county in some form. Judged from the county resolutions, it is evident there will be no demand upon the state convention for a lengthy dec laration of principles and that a general indorsement of Republican officials, a stand pat plank, a requirement for the direct primary and a review of Repub lican results will be the principal fea tures of the state document. HOT FIGHT IX NEW HAMPSHIRE Churchill Leads Revolt Against Di vided State Organization. CONCORD, N. H., Sept. 17. The most interesting Republican state convention in New Hampshire in many years will be held tomorrow. The extraordinary can vass which has preceded the convention has largely developed from the entrance into the field for the Gubernatorial nomi nation of Winston Churchill, the novelist, who is the representative and leader of the, anti-corporation movement launched by the newly formed Lincoln Republican Club of New Hampshire. The other candidates for the nomina tion are Charles H. Greenleaf. member of Governor Lane's council and former State Senator; Charles M. Floyd, of Man chester; Rosecrans W. Pillsbury. of Lon donderry, former State Legislator, and Stephen H. Gale, of Exeter. Tho can didacy of Greenleaf and Floyd is said to have split the Republican organiza tion. United States Senator GaJllnger di recting the Greenleaf campaign and Henry M. Putney, chairman of the State Railroad Commission, beading the Floyd movement. Jointure Ticket In Arizona. PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 17. The terri tory Joint statehoood convention was held today and nominated Charles Aines worth, of Phoenix, for Delegate to Con gress. The platform adopted indorses President Roosevelt and invites the labor vote. It was a mass meeting rather than a convention, for no county organization exists. The chairman was T. A. Wilson, who, as president of the Joint Statehood League, called the convention and fixed the apportionment of each county. Shaw Opens Missouri Campaign.' HANNIBAL. Mo.. Sept. 17. Leslie M.

BIG SULTAN ID TERMS PURPOSE OF MINISTER GUM MERE'S VISIT TO FEZ. Will Demand Morocco Pay American Claims and Punish Ralsull. No Excuses Accepted. LONDON, Sept. 17. A dispatch from Tangier" to the Times says: - There is a tendency to underestimate the Importance of the Americaij mission to Fez. Minister Gummere will not only pre sent his credentials, but also will lay be fore the Sultan his Government's views of the existing state of anarchy in Mo rocco and demand the payment of Ameri can claims and punishment for offenses against American subjects. The Maghzen also will doubtless be re minded of the Sultan's pretense to speed ily punish Ralsuli for the seizure and de tention of Mr. Perdicarls. The dispatch says the position of Amer ica renders her action in these matters easier than in the case of European powers, the hands of whose representa tives are tied by the political situation in Europe. America's relations with Mo rocco outside the Algeclras protocol are clearly defined by treaty and. the Sul tan's intrigues with other powers will certainly not be accepted as an excuse for the infringement of these treaty rights. Only by firm action can the Sultan and Maghzen be made to realize their real position and responsibility. "If." the dispatch adds, "the American Minister succeeds in bringing about this, he will deserve the thanks and congratu lations of all who at present are suffering from the Incapacity and arrogance of the existing regime at Fez." KAISULI LEVIES HIGH TAXES Legations Protest but Sultan Can Do Nothing Against Him. TANGIER, Sept. 17. Several of the lega tions have protested against the efforts of Raisuil to impose Irregular and irritat ing taxes on Moorish horsemen attached to the foreign missions. Mohammed el Torres, the Moroccan Foreign Minister, has been asked to Interfere, but is at a loss to know how to act. The American mission, consisting of Minister Gummere and the American military and naval attaches, cannot reach its destination in less than ten days, as it is moving by short stages.

NORTH - BANK LINE HELPS Records of Railroads Show Tremen dous Growth, and the Northwest Will Surpass California, Say the Railroad Men. ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 17-(Special.) Never has tho Northwest attracted more new settlers within its, productive bound aries than this year. Since the days of the buffalo neariy every year has wit nessed a steady increase in immigration, so that the statement has been made al most periodically, but this year it is more marked than before. The year's records will show more than a steady and normal Increase; they will furnish proof of a tremendous growth of the Northwest. As an Indication of the increase in im migration, the movement this year into North Dakota has been heavier than for any previous year in ten years. During the Summer, registrations at me lana Offices averaged 6000 a month. Oregon on Eve of Migration. The completion of tne line from Pasco to Portland along the north bank of the Columbia will be the opening wedge for the rapid development of Oregon. It has drawn a large number of settlers this year, but local railroad men say that Oregon is only on the eve of a surpris ing immigration movement. Very few people can comprenena now Oregon and the other Western . States will grow In the next ten years," said a Northern Pacific official. "The attention of the country has only Just been drawn to the Northwest. There Is room for an empire, which can give more products and better products than anywhere else in the world. Will Discount California. 'I may not be alive at the time," said another official, "but the time Is comlns when Northern California will discount Southern California. When I say North ern California I also include Oregon and Washington and the other states on the Northern Pacific Coast. Homeseekers' rates are scheduled to come out October 31, but we are considering the proposition of keeping them in dally until December. They have not yet been decided, but the railroads may be forced to keep the rates in daily In order to handle the business."
