Mr. Taft." he said, "this will be my
last rote, but here's another to take
my place." There were tears In the
eyes of the candidate as he extended
his wishes for the best welfare of the
old man.
. The Taft special was really a band
wagon In Iowa, in the sense that both
Governor Cummins and Major Lacey,
opposing candidates for the Senate,
were aboard all .day, each losing no
opportunity to give support to the
Taft campaign.

the politicians who saw mm ao a aeciarea
him to be a "mixer" of great ability and
effectiveness.
Gets Chummy With People.
In all he made 10 speeches during the
day. but most of them brief. The most
of the work was done by the oratorical
assistants on the trip, either Dr. Hill or
Heoresentative Boutell. assisted by the
Governor and Major Lacey and Represen
tatives Smith. Dawson and Kennedy.
There was very much variety and many
novelties In the day's carnival of crowds
and travel.
. The candidate got on perfectly familiar
terms with the individual members of his
audiences. He shook hands, he chatted
and he Joked. He was called "Bill" and
was told he was all right and would surely
"get there."
Runs Short of Voice.
The people of Clinton, after sur
rounding the train at the station be
fore 8 o'clock this morning, escorted
the .candidate to a flag-draped plat
form in the City Park, where, his
voice showing much improvement over
the day before, he spoke at some
length on the labor question.
At Davenport at half past 10 an
other trip from the train was made,
and Mr. Taft. after being Indorsed and
Introduced by Mr. Cummins., talked of
the Roosevelt policies and got a rous
ing response. It was apparent here
that the candidate was going to have
trouble with his voice before the day
was over and upon the advice of Dr.
Richardson, who gave his throat con
stant attention, be began to curtail
ills remarks. ,
An entirely new method of procedure :
was adopted at Burlington, the candi
date being taken in a carriage up
through the city, preceded by a band
and accompanied by an immense
crowd. Half minute stops were made
at each corner, where people had sta
tioned themselves, and Mr. Taft, ris
ing in the carriage, spoke a few words.
Wins Hearts of Women.
It was 8 o'clock when the candidate
delivered himself up to the committee
of Des Moines for the five meetings he
was billed for there tonight. He was
taken at once to Plymouth Church,
where was in progress a woman s
meeting, presided over by Mrs. W. F.
Milrhelt.
To the women Mr. Taft had something
to say briefly about the Philippines,
which he admitted was t a subject very
near Ills heart- At the Auditorium Mr.
Tatt talked on the tariff, covering the
same ground he did in Milwaukee last
night. Mr Cummins and Senator Dol-
iiver also spoke at this meeting. At the
Foster Opera-House and in meetings In
Nast and West Fifth street, Mr. Taft's
remarks were very brief.
The Des Moines. church meeting, where
he addressed several thousand women.
was the feature of the evening here. Mr.
Taft at once earned the good will of his
audience by saying with a smile:
Agree to Temporary Terms.
BUTTE. Mont., Sept. 25. A special
to the Miner from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
says:
The 8000 miners employed in xne
collieries of Wyoming, who went on

work tomorrow. A temporary agree
ment has been reached by the mine
operators and representatives or me
I'nited Mineworkers of America at
Chicago today.
The nature of the meeting la not
known at the headquarters of the
Union Pacific Coal Company in this
city. It is stated, however, that an
other conference will be held in Chey
enne September 30. at which time a
permanent wage scale will be agreed
upon.

of
ASTORIA. Or.. Sept. 25. (Special. )
The Norwegian steamship Guernsey,
which arrived this morning from Shang
hai via Moji. is still In quarantine and
will remain there until tomorrow morn
ing. The steamer took on a quantity of
water ballast at Shanghai, which is listed
as an Infected, port, and failed to bring a
consular bill of health from that port.
although she had one from MoJl. For
that reason she must be fumigated for a
period of ten hours before being permit
ted to enter at the Custom-house.
Captain Jorgenson says he acted under
instructions of his agent at Shanghai In
nut securing the bill of health, but he
will be subject to a fine of $5000 for the
dereliction by the customs author
ities. The vessel had a fair passage of
21 days and every one on board is well.

"I am a purely domesticated animal
and 1 understand the influence of the
feminine part of the home and therefore
I welcome the opportunity of talking, not
to voters, but to those who control the
voters."
This compliment went home at once.
"In the first place," he continued. "I
want to put myself on record regarding
a matter that Is not an issue In either
platform and that is that I am in favor
of woman suffrage when all the women
want It."
Mr. Taft followed with a brief descrip
tion of the Philippine problem.
The last meeting was In the open air.
after which the candidate was given an
automobile, ride and then driven to his
train, wlil--h will leave for more cam
paigning in the state tomorrow, the direc
tion being toward St. Paul, where he
speaks tomorrow night.

BEVERIDGE BEGINS HIS TOCR

- NEW YORK. Sept. 25. The Repub
lican campaign in New York County
was formally opened tonight with an
enthusiastic mass meeting in Carnegie
Hall, at which Senator Albert J.
Beverldge. of Indiana, and ex-Mayor
Seth Low were the principal speakers.
Mr. Low presided.
Tonight's speech was the first of
series that Senator Beverldge is to de

TAFT PLAVS ROI.E OF "MIXER"
Republican Candidate Makes Hand
shaking Trip Through Iowa.
MUSCATINE. Ia.. Sept. 25. Judge
Taft. the mixer, instead of Taft the
orator. Is the reputation the Repub
lican Presidential candidate left be
hind him as he flitted from town to
town in Iowa today. With the handi
cap of an impaired voice, the Ohloan
showed his resourcefulness by cam
paigning with' his hands, and repartee
with those who largely took advan
tage of every possible opportunity to
niHke his acquaintance.
"You're going to get the President's
chair all right. Bill." cried a lusty
voice at Davenport.
I believe It, came the quick re
sponse, "but I'm not so sure there are
aot a few tacks In that chair."
Then there mm m rush of out-
the Union Station. There he was handed
two telegrams awaiting him from Chi
cago. He declined to mane ine contents
of the messages known, but wrote a
couDle of telegrams.
"I notice, the Governor went on, "that
Secretary Garfield has taken a hand in
the matter of the Prairie Oil Company.
He ought to know the matter very well.
for I took occasion to call him down last
Summer when he tried to give the oil
company special privileges in laying the
interstate gas line."
Before entering the Pullman Mr.
Haskell said this to the reporter: "It's
getting to be an edifying example when
the President mixes In personalities.
Early In the Summer we were to have a
lady-like campaign. The President Is the
biggest four-flusher in the political busi
ness today. You ought to hear what they
think of the rascal down in Oklahoma."
Mr. Haskell was asked about the
report that he intended resigning . as
treasurer of the National committee.
"Absolutely nothing to it," was the
reply. '
"Of course I'll admit that the recent
developments have necessitated a little
haste in my going to Chicago, but resig
nation is out of the question. It is simply
the Republican press that is roaring and
well they might when they hold special
Cabinet sessions at the White House
about me."
Glancing over the morning paper, the
Governor remarked:
'So Hearst has coupled me with the
steel trust. I feel highly honored to be
classed with Schwab, Carnegie and J.
P. Morgan."
"Oh. ves." continued Mr. Has-'
kell. talking to he reportets, "I had
almost forgotten that I want to deny
the accusation of Edward L. Oppen
heim. the New York) banker, who Bald
yesterday that he was present in my
box at a big gold Democratic meeting
in Madison Square Garden In 1SHS. I
want to say that I was never in Madi
son Square Garden. It's perfectly ri
diculous when he said that I waved
my hat whenever Bryan was attacked
in the meeting."
Powder King Tlelds for Party's
Sake Hitchcock Assumes Sole
Responsibility, but Roosevelt
Suggested His Removal.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25. After many
rumors which were afloat here and
Washington, Chairman Hitchcock of
the Republican National Committee
announced that General T. Coleman
Dupont, of Delaware, head of the bu
reau of campaign speakers of the Na
tional committee, had resigned as head
of that bureau and also as a member
of the executive committee of the Na
tional committee and that his resigna
tion had been accepted.
Because of Powder Trust.
In an elaboration of the -announcement
Mr. Hitchcock said that General Dupont
had resigned because he felt "that the
pendency of the suit by the Government
against the powder company with which
he is connected might be employed by
opponents to the injury of the campaign
to which he Is so earnestly devoted. His
resignatioii, therefore, has .been ac
cepted."
Mr. Hitchcock said no successor to Mr.
Dupont had yet been selected, but that
action in this matter would follow soon.
Hitchcock Alone Responsible.
When asked If President Roosevelt and
Mr. Taft had not objected to Mr. Dupont
at the time of his appointment, Mr.
Hitchcock said indirectly that the chair
man of the National committee always
made such appointments and In this case
he (Mr. Hitchcock) assumed all responsi
bility, as he assumed full responsibility
for all other things done In this cam
paign.
From now on the campaign, according
to Mr. Hitchcock, is to be aggressive
along the whole line. Reports received
by him while he was In Chicago were
most encouraging, he said, the reports
Including advices from every campaign
manager in the West.
Mr. Dupont's letter of resignation was
made public tonight. It Is as follows:
September 22. JSIOB. Hon. Frank H.
Hitchcock. Chairman Republican National
Committee. New York My Dear Mr. Hitch
cock: Recently I have noticed various
criticisms of my being the director of the
speakers' bureau and a member of the ex
ecutive committee, on account of my
turn to the E. I. Dupont de Nemeura Pow
der Company, which is being sued by the
Government. The merits of that suit will
be demonstrated In due course of judicial
procedure. I have always been a loyal sup
porter or the Republican party, both state
and National and I am unwilling to be In
any wise the means of bringing odium on
the party organization, however unfounded
I may deem such criticism to be I there
fore respectfully tender my resignation as
member of the executive committee and as
a director of the speakers' bureau, fully
appreciating the great courtesy which I
have uniformly received at the hands of
yourself and my other associates.
Yours very truly.
T. C. DUPONT.
SEVERE BLOW TO AS QUIT H
Unionist Elected at Newcastle, Be
cause Catholics Are Alienated.
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE. Sept. 25.
The Irish vote, alienated by the action of
the government in prohibiting processions
in connection with the recent eucharistlc
congress in London, in which the host
was- to have been carried through the
streets of that city and strengthened by
the idol of tariff reform, has inflicted
crushing blow on the government in th
bye-election held here today to fill the
vacancy in the House of Commons from
Newcastle-on-Tyne caused by the recent
death of Thomas Cairns, Liberal.
With a majority of over 6000 In the
general election of 1906 the Radicals wen
to the polls full of confidence; tne out
come, however, was a great surprise. The
Unionist candidate, G. Renwlck, who was
returned from his constituency in 1900
was elected with a majority of 2143 over
Mr. Short, the Liberal candidate. The
Labor Socialist, Mr. Hartley, polled 2971
votes.

ELKINS' SON DEFENDANT
Sued for Breach of Promise by New

PHILIPPI, W. Va., Sept. 25. The fll
lng here yesterday of a suit for 100,000
damages on an allegation of breach of
promise to marry Louise Lonsdale,
New York actress, against Blaine Elkins,
youngest son of Senator Stephen B.
Elkins, has caused a sensation. The
young man. Is a brother of Katherine
Elkins, who is reported engaged to
marry the Duke of Abruzzl.
A summons was served on young Elk
ins at his country home at Elkins to
appear before the Federal Court to
answer the charge. In a talk on the
long-distance telephone Senator Elkins
said:
'My son never promised to marry the
young woman, and there is nothing in it.
He denies the whole thing absolutely.
BOTH SEEKING ADVANTAGES
Unions and Mill Companies
Wrangle at Aberdeen.
Still
ABERDEEN. Wrash., Sept. 25. (Special.)
Conditions In the builders' strike are
unchanged today. A new factor is the
action taken by the bricklayers and ma
sons, who have raised the scale from $6
to $10 a day on labor connected with mill
work. They ask time and a half for
overtime and double time for Sunday. It
Is understood that this scale cannot be
enforced until a decision favoring it has
been made by the Trades Council.
It is given out tonight that mulowners
have decided .on placing all orders for
wood in the hands of the Johnston Trans
fer Company, in order to offset the action
of the bricklayers. This will make it
extremely annoying to carpenters and
other union men who will need fuel.

Dupont's Name Discussed at Session

WASHINGTON, sept. 25. It Is un
derstood that the case of T. Coleman
Dupont, of Delaware, whose resigna
tion as the head of the Speakers' Bureau
of the National Republican Committee-
was announced today, was discussed at
today's Cabinet meeting. It is said the
President wrote a letter to Chairman
Frank H. Hitchcock suggesting that Mr.
Dupont's connection with the so-called
powder trust made him unsuitable for
official connection with the committee,
but Secretary Loeb declined either to
affirm or deny the report, saying that
there was nothing to say on this point.
Mr. Dupont is the head of the company
sued In the courts by the Department of
Justice for violation of the Sherman anti
trust law.
It was expected that a statement would
be given out at the White House today
regarding the charges of Governor Has
kell, of Oklahoma, concerning the fran
chise of the Prairie Oil & Gas Company,
which has figured conspicuously In recent

question had been considered ar the
Cabinet meeting it was decided to with
hold the statement pending the reply of
William J. Bryan to the President's re
cent communication regarding Governor
Haskell.

(Special.) Heavy frosts the last three

Tomatoes, potatoes, squashes, pumpkins,

FLEET TO SHUN MANILA
Philippine Capital's Preparations to
Entertain Are Wasted.
MANILA. Bept. 28. The effect of Sec
retary of the Navy Metcalf 8 order, that
in view of the presence of cholera in Man
ila no shore leave was to be granted or
visitors from shore allowed on the battle
ships when the Atlantic arrived, has been
largely discounted by the realization yes
terday that it would be impossible to
cleanse the city before the arrival of the
fleet about October 1.
People fully realize the necessities of
the situation, but they are bitterly disap
pointed at tin outcome. Thousands of
dollars have been spent in preparation for
the reception and entertainment of the
officers and men. The decorations have
been practically completed. A, sctjre of
arches have been erected and thousands
of electric lights have been strung for the
illumination of the city, now cheerless in
its festival trappings. A programme elab
orate and novel, which represents four
months' work by 250 active committeemen,
had been arranged.
The majority of the sentiment now fa
vors a month's postponement of the pro
gramme or until the return of the fleet
from Japan. That will probably be the
decision of the conference which Governor
General Smith has called to meet late today.
' The only criticism heard of Secretary
Metcalf'a order is his Inclusion of officers
in the embargo against landing. It is
pointed out that they run no danger pro
viding they exercise ordinary' care in what
they eat and drink.
The cholera has not affected the ordi
nary avocations or routine of the city.
For the 24 hours ending at 8 o'clock this
morning. 42 cases and six deaths are re
ported. This number includes many sus
pected cases. The small number of deaths
show that many cases gathered Into the
dragnet, are not true cholera.

Accuses Rival of Being Ashamed of
Platform Lustily Cheered at
Terre Haute, Indianapolis
and Shelbj vllle.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind.. Sept. 25. Ad
dressing two monster gatherings here to
day, W. J. Bryan, Democratic candidate
for President, reiterated his charge that
President Roosevelt was not giving him a
square deal, but that the President was
using Federal office-holders as a Republl
can asset. His principal remarks were
made at the baseball park, where he de
nounced the Republicans for their policies
and pleaded with his audience to stand to
gether and elect the state and National
Democratic tickets. The second address
was made tonight from the Courthouse
steps.
Novel Method of Speaking.
Mr. Bryan in the course of his remarks
on the labor question, the trusts, the tariff
and publicity of campaign contributions
injected & new feature. He conducted an
imaginary cross-examination of Mr. Taft
on the issues of the campaign. In which
he placed Mr. Taftv in the attitude of
finally admitting, after a good deal of
pressure, that the Republican platform
was all wrong and unsatisfartory to im,
and that the Democratic platform was
right. The novelty of this form of argu
ment created no little amusement among
the crowd.
"The trouble with Mr. Taft," he said,
"Is that, while he is ashamed of his plat
form, he has not the courage to come ou
and declare himself fully on our plat
form."
Bryan in Splendid Voice.
The Democratic candidate arrived here
shortly before 2 o'clock and received
hearty welcome. - At the rotation and the
hotel the crowds cheered him ltratiiy.
Because there were but two stops between
Cincinnati and this city, Mr. Bryan was
called upon to make but two speeches and
these were at Shelbyville and Indianapolis,
where he .spoke briefly in behalf of the
Democratic state ticket. In consequence
he was in splendid voice this afternoon
and tonight, and could be heard distinctly
far .back from where he was speaking-.
Mr. Bryan left late tonight over the Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois Railroad for Chi
cago, where he is due at 6:47 o clock in
the morning. After a visit of two hours
at Democratic headquarters he will con
ttnue his trip westward, going first to
Madison, Wis., and thence to Milwaukee,
where he will speak tomorrow night.
BRIEF STAY AT INDIANAPOLIS
Bryan Pleased With Ohio Trip
Delays Reply to Roosevelt.
INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 25. W. J
Bryan made a brief stop here today on
kis way to Terre Haute. Aboard his car
on his Journey from Cincinnati, the
Democratic candidate expressed himself
as greatly pleased with his reception In
Ohio. The crowds that greeted Mm and
the enthusiasm shown, he said, exceeded
anything he had before experienced in
his campaign in Ohio.
Mr. Bryan has not undertaken the
preparation of his reply to President
Roosevelt's letters and it Is not likely he
will do so for a day or two. He spoke
for a few minutes, urging the support of
the state Democratic ticket, as well as
the National ticket, and predicted victory
for the party.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 25. After a
