GREAT DEMAND FOR TAFT
Candidate May Change Programme
and Tour Middle States local
Speakers to Conduct Cam
paign in Early Stages.
CHICAGO, Sept. S. Chairman Frank H.
Hitchcock of the Republican National
Committee announced tonight that, when
Mr. Taft goes from Sandusky to Cincin
nati on Tuesday, the candidate will meet
the people at all points where stops are
made by the Big Four train. Mr. Taft
will leave Sandusky at 1:40 P. M. The
train stops at all stations between San
dusky and Carey, and at about a dosen
points between Carey and Cincinnati.
Big Gnns Wait Till October.
Most of the speakers of National prom
inence who will take the stump for
Taft and Sherman will not be available
until about October 1. and until then the
campaigns In the doubtful states will be
managed by local speakers. Senators
Bevertdge and Borah and Leslie M.
Shaw. ex-Secretary of the Treasury, and
perhaps Secretary Garfield, will probably
be ready by October 15. A few speeches
by these men will be made later. Vice
President Fairbanks and Speaker Can
non are expected to make political ad
dresses outside of their own states, be
ginning October J, and Senators Foraker,
La Follette and Knox and Governor
Hughes will start out the same week.
In addition to these, practically all mem
bers of Congress who will make up the
volunteer speaking force have agreed
to arrange their pll.ns so as to speak
constantly for the' last month of the
campaign.
Speakers M ill Be Tald.
Mr. Hitchcock today corrected the im
pression that the volunteer speaking force
is to be used to tne exclusion of paid
speakers. He said today that negotiations
are proceeding to secure the best Re
publican speakers In the country, and
that many of these will be paid for their
services. They will be used during the
last two weeks.
The speakers' bureau In the West has
been besieged by demands from every
doubtful state that Mr. Taft. Mr. Sher
man and prominent Senators be sent
into the campaign. It is an indication of
political interest. It is Mr. Taft's de
termination ' to remain In Cincinnati dur
ing October. It Is possible, however,
that late in the campaign, perhaps the
last two weeks in October, he may maks
a number of short speaking trips Into
the Middle West states.
The chairmen of the Middle West ex
ecutive committees wtll meet in Chicago,
when Mr. Hitchcock comes here aealn,
soon after September 15. Until this date
Mr. Hitchcock expects to remain in the
East,
Another Literary Chief.
Joseph A. breckens, of Cheyenne,
Wyo., was today appointed assistant di
rector of the literature bureau of the
Western Republican headquarters In this
city. He represented In Washington,
during the sessions of Congress, a large
number of western newspapers.
Tarns Blxby, -of St. Paul, visited Repub-
lkn headquarters today and declares
Minnesota will give Taft 60.000 plurality.
and that Jacobsen. the Republican candi

by a close vote. Mr. Blxby is general
manager of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
INTERVIEW IS REPUDIATED
Foraker Says There Has Been No
Trouble to Patch Up.

Times of this morning giving what pur
ported to be an authorised statement
trr,m him As imA as he reached his
home the substance of the story was re
peated to the Senator and the Senator at
once made the following statement to the
Associated Press:
The statement published In the Toledo
Times as you represent It to me Is grossly
misleading. The only basis for any sucb
statement that I can recall Is this: As I

the Associated Press was sending out a
long story, some 2000 words as I now re
member his statement, giving an account
of an agreement that had been entered
into as a basts for peace between Judge
Taft and myself and he wanted me to
give him my version of the story.
"I told him there had been no agree
ment of any kind, neither made nor sug
gested: that there- was no trouble be
tween Judge Taft and myself; thst the
trouble so much talked about In the news
papers was manufactured: that I had not
made, at any time, any request of Judge
Taft and he had not made any of me;

Neck and Neck Races for Republican
Nomination for Governor Keep
People In Suspense.
OMAHA. Sept 3. The official can
vass alone may decide the result of
the Democratic primaries, so far as the
Democratic nomination for Governor Is
concerned. A C. Shallenberger and
James C. Dahlman are running a neck

Shallenberger are running on both the
Democratic and Populist tickets, it

EFFORT TO BEAT CUMMINS
Iowa Standpatters Threaten to Star
Out of Caucus.
DES MOINES. Ia.. Sept. 3. (Special.)
Determined to prevent the election of
Governor Cummins for the. short teem
for United States Senator and thus to
balk the progressives of a victory, 40
standpat members of the Legislature
have oonjured up the danger of Demo
cratic success In the election next No
vember as ground for not . going into
caucus.
They threaten to stay out of the cau
cus and thus block the nomination of
Cummins as the Republican candidate.
Their argument Is that his election would
so disgust many Republican voters that
they would stay away from the polls or
support Democratic candidates for the
Legislature. This, they say, would give
the Democrats a majority and cause the
election of a Democratic Senator for the
full term.

surprise was occasioned In Chicago by
the news of the wedding of Mrs.
.h.ii nielrf. Jr.. to Mr. Dnimmona. in
fact, some of her relatives and close

doubts at rest about noon, however, by
announcing that she had received a cable
rw d. u ii m from her daughter conflrmnig
the earlier published reports of the wed

peror's venture into the domain of the
the theater. On the whole, the verdict
is not entirely flattering.
Critics of the nonprofessional element,
while admitting that- the presentation
was a gorgeous stage pasreunt, deal with
the performance In a less kindly spirit,
declaring that the ballet Is overweighted
by its ponderous display of learning.
The Tageblatt says that the audience
was thoroughly bored and adds that the
performance shows It to be Impossible to
"Btage the contents of an ethnological
museum and make them Interesting."
The Boersen Courier asserts that the
performance was "not only a fiasco, but
