Not Doubtful.
CHICAGO, Oct. I. (Special.) Demo
cratic campaigner of Iowa are In an
unpleasant dilemma, according- to re
port which reached Republican Na
tional headquarters In the Harvester
building- today.
Actinic on Instruction which Will
iam J. Bryan laaued quietly from Falr
Mw early In the campaign, all the
Democratic orator In the state loaded
themselves down with speeches lauding-
Roosevelt who I almost idolised
by Iowans and Insisting- that William
H. Taft falls far below the President.
Mr. Bryan being- the only candidate
properly ntted to follow In the foot
steps of the President.
Bryan Leaves Them Vp Stump.
Mr. Bryan himself was doing this In
many states, but now that he has
chanced his tactics and Is assailing the
President, his allies in Iowa are up a
stump as well as on one.
"Not being great geniuses, they are
not able to pase over Inconsistencies
with, the same ease and breadth of
mind as their leader." runs a statement
Issued from Republican headquarters,
"but whether they follow Mr. Bryan's
lead and begin assailing the men they
hare been praising, or merely drop the
Trtaldent as a platform topic, they will
have to rewrite mnrt of their speeches.
Taft Has Aroused People.
"The effect of Mr. Taffa visit to
Iowa has been to give the Republican
campaign an Impetus which rescues It
from any charge of apathy. The dem
onstrations accorded Mr. Taft not only
have awakened the people. to the real
ization that they are In the midst of a
most Important National campaign, but
they have given the people of the East,
who have been told that Iowa la a
doubtful state, reason to believe that
they have been misinformed. It Is es
timated that 200.000 people saw and
heard the candidate while he was In
the state."

DENVER. Oct. 2. In the same build
ing the Benver Auditorium In which
W. J. Bryan was nominated for the Pres
idency last July. W. H. Taft tonight ad
dressed a tremendous throng, setting
forth reasons why the Nebraskan should
not be elected.
Mr. Taft's entry Into Denver was under
most Inspiring political conditions. His
stay in the city was but for three hours,
and every preliminary to the big street
parade and Its attending spectacular fea
tures, had been most carefully arranged
so that, when the Taft special pulled Into
the Union Station, the town had on a
particularly bright red glare. The streets
were profusely Illuminated, and had not
been so densely populated since the Dem
ocratic convention departed.
Plaudits Follow Candidate). .
The candidate was made a part of the
festivities. In an automobile he was
given the place of honor in the parade
and bowed his acknowledgements to
shouts and plaudits along the line of
march, which Included the principal busi
ness streets, and ending at the splendid
Auditorium, whose entire seating capa
city had been thrown open.
. Mr. Taft's speech ranged widely over
the various Issues of the campaign. He
paid hi respects to Mr. B'yan many -J
times '. and" received encouragement from
the audience In so doing. His language
particularly on the labor question, has
been decidedly vigorous and positive.
Straight Talk to Labor.
This thing of Mr. Gompers having the
labor vote In his pocket and of the
labor men believing the lies he tells is
something that I complain of. Labor
men ought to look at the record and
see which party has done things in
their behalf. If you will examine the
legislative record, you will find not a
line In the Federal statute books that
waa put there by the Democratic
partv. Not a line was put there by Mr.
Bryan when he was twice a member of
Congress In Grover Cleveland- admin
istration, nor did he attempt to have
any passed.
I appeal to the clear-headed, intelli
gent 'and Independent workingmen of
thia country to look Into the facts and
the law and. if they can find there that
I am an enemy to labor, then vote

THE DUCKING STOOL, THE
Giants' Manager Spurns Offer and
Says Negotiations Would
Be Useless.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2. (Special.) That
Charles W. Murphy, owner of the Chi
cago National League baseball team, had
offered $50,000 for "Christy" Matthew
son, the crack pitcher of the Giants, and
that John T. Brush and John MeGraw
had spurned the offer, . became known
tonight.
Murphy's offer, which' was made -in
good faith and with no Intention that It
should become public, was communicated
to Brush and MoGraw through
a business . man in this - city,
who is interested ' in thorough
bred and other horses, and who has
the confidence of both the New York and
the Chicago National League baseball
magnates.
In making the offer for Matthewson,
Murphy and Chance explained that -the
Chicago team, which has been a unit for
so long, must eventually disintegrate
and that the addition of Matthewson to
the Chicago roster would be of the high
est importance to them. Brush and Me
Graw told the go-between that it would
be useless to open negotiations.
Christy Mathewson, the New Tork
Giants' main dependence, for whom
Charles Webb Murphy, owner of the Chi
cago National League club, yesterday of
fered J50.000, is unquestionably the best
pitcher in the older league. Three years
ago he pitched New York Into the Na
tional League championship, and has
been the main factor in New York's great
battle this season.
If John T. Brush and the other mag
nates Interested In the New York club,
were to sell Mathewson to another club,
their lives would not be safe.
Mathewson Is the most Idolised ball
player In the world, and can have any
thing be desires that is in the power of
the Gothamltes to give.

tender bumped over the ties, while the
engineer sought to halt the flyer,
speeding to Chicago at the rate of 60
miles an hour. The dining-car and the
smoker also left the-rails.
For what seemti to the passengers
three or four minutes the train dashed
ahead, but with slackening speed. After
about a mile it was brought to a stop
and it was found that' no one had been
injured. At the point where the acci
dent occurred the tracks of the Lake
Shore are elevated so that an embank
ment of eight or ten feet descending
on either side promised a dangerous
plunge if the bouncing cars . left t,he
rails. ,
The airbrake on the diner, loosened
from its fastenings, fell to the ground.
This derailed the diner, the smoker and
the tender. An angle-bar of the track
was uprooted and tore through a floor
of the diner, causing a panic among
the passengers at breakfast.

Value of Manufactures.
The total value of Oregon's manufac
tures this season is estimated at $85,000,-
000, of which about $35,000,000 comes un
der the head of lumber, cereal and cream
ery output. Of the remainder, $30,000,000
worth will be shipped to outside points
to swell the wealth of the state, bringing
the total Income In this busy shipping
season to a round $100,000,000.
Added to this sum that will be poured
into Oregon the produoer' will also have
the benefit of the home demand for his
wares. The home consumption of the
natural' products can" be conservatively
placed at $50,000,000, and of the manu
factures at $30,000,000, or a grand total of
$180,000,000 for this one state In one year.
And this takes no account of the gain by
merchandising in the cities and towns,
by financial operations, by transportation,
or 'Of the still more valuable asset of
labor.
What Oregon is doing now to enrich
Its citizens and to supply the 'world
with its various productions Is but the
beginning. The rapid growth of Its
manufacturing business proves this.
There is assurance of Its eventually

other lines It is equally favored. Farm
