JOLT TAFT
WOULD
Senator to Dictate Paragraph
Aimed at President in
Wisconsin Platform.
SfilTICISM TO BE SEVERE
publican Aw Also Expcotfd to
I-mand National Physical Valua-.
tion of Railroads Short or Hours
and an Income Tax.
MADISON". Win.. Sept. IK. (Special.)
When the platform convention, composed
of all candidates on the Republican
ticket, meet in thli city September
President Taft will probably be due for
a sever Jolt. If present plans do not
miscarry, hla Administration will re
ceive a grilling such as no Adminlstra
ton hn received before from Its party
supporters.
That part of the platform will be dic
tated by Senator I -a Follette and will
reflect hia sentiments. It seems ilmnjt
a certainty that the Fayne-Aldrlch tariff
law will be hotly denounced, and that
chanses In the rubor, the woolen and
the cotton schedules will be demanded.
Takira up the regulation of railroad,
the platform will demand a National
phylal valuation as a preliminary to a
reduction of frelaht and passenger rates,
though in this slate this physical valua
tion has given greater satisfaction to the
mads than to the people.
Income Tai to Be Hcmandeil.
A Federal Income tai will be demand
ed. This paragraph will be based eloselv
on the views on this subject held by
Senator Borah. Indeed, there has been
some K"lp to the effect that for his
Interest In behalf of Senator l-a rollette,
Rnrah mav be permitted to write the
carasraph on this subject.
The Platform also will come out for
Industrial Insurance, and the mos. radi
cal views on water-power taxation will
be Incorporated, to the effect that water-
powers should be considered stale prop
erty and leased to developing companies
on a basis of the developed horse-power.
the developing companies to be placed
under strict state supervision.
Fetter child-labor leaislatlon wi!l be
another pledge to be made by the con
vention, and it Is likely that shorter
working days will be another aim of the
lext Legislature.
County Option Not Wanted.
The question of county option in all
probability will not be touched upon, as
from present Indications the majority of
the nominees frel the question has been
definitely settled by the crushing defeat
-t Captain Lewis, who stood for county
mtlon. and the signal victory of F. K.
Mc;overn. whose views on the drink
luestion are most liberal.
A more ticklish question will be that
f the binder twine plant planned In
connection with the state penitentiary.
It seems a foregone conclusion that such
plant will be erected following the next
session of the legislature, as many of
I .a Follette's victories are to be cred
ited to the farmers" vote. The farmers
want this binder-twine plant.- whlla the
Interests that have always fought I A
Follette and his political friends are the
jtrongest opponents.

did this mean? Simply, that the Repub
lican organization had been centralized
In the President and that Roosevelt had
made himself both organization and
Pre.dent.
"What the consequence? When
Roosevelt left the While House and railed
for Africa, there was no Republican or
ganization. Mr. Taft was made President
by the Roosevelt organization, without a
doubt, but that organization, after mak
ing him President, did not stand by to
aid and aseist and direct the new Presi
dent, as did the powerful organ'zatlon in
the days of McKinlcy. Naturally, Presi
dent Taft. unschooled in practical poll-
tics, thrown upon hip own resources,
made moves that would not hava been
made had he been supported by such a
thorough-going organization as backed
President McKinley. The disintegration
came; disorganization Is now rampant,
and It seemingly is a game of every man
for himself."
Managers All at Sea.
The explanation offered by this official
may not Te the correct one. but It Is at
least worthy of consideration. Whether
or not such general discontent as has
been evidenced of late could have been
avoided had ne Republican organization
remained intact, is a question; on the
other hand it may be asked : "Is not the
disintegration of the organization the re
sult of prevalent discontent T
These are drtyp of speculation and of
theory. Seemingly there ! no explana

At ' Cannonsburg. Just northeast of
Washington, the balloons were sighted by
hundreds of persons and one man got

Over the Junction of the Monongahela
and Toughlogheny rivers the aeronauts
evidently encountered trouble? with the
lower air currents and avoided them by
mounting to a height of nearly a mile.
At this altitude they sailed up the Mon

of numerous? steel mills.
Between two and throe o'clock the bal
loons were sighted from the southern
suburbs of Fittsburg at McKeesport, at
Elizabeth. Carrlck and Mount Oliver. At

During the afternoon, showers threat

rain fell here but at that hour no re

three of these balloons.
The local weather bureau reported that
last night the aeronauts could not have J

In the course of the night this note,
which was dropped from the Million

SENATOR MAY HAVE OPERATION
TO REMOVE GALLSTONES.
Candidate. Feeling Sure of Election,
Will Remain Quiet During
Heat of Campaign.
MADISON. Wis.. Sept. IS. (Special.)
Senator La Follette is suffering from
gallstones and has been advised by his
family physician to consult a specialist
regarding the ailment. His family has
urged him to consult surgeons regarding
an operation. He probably will do so
soon, but has not yet reached a definite
dec la ion.
He Is reluctant to submit to a surgical
operation until after the general elec
tion In November, when It would be ab
solutely decided whether a majority of
members of the next Legislature will
be favorable to his re-election. It is
generally believed that he will have no
difficulty In securing a re-election.
The Senator has been suffering from
gallstones for several years and has been
under the care of a physician for the
trouble, lw-wever. the ailment has been
gradually Increasing until it is now
deemed Imperative by bis family that ha
submit to an operation for relief.
The Senator spends part of each day
now at his campaign headquarters, out
la not permitted by hla physician to over
work himself. He works forenoons and
evenings and sleeps afternoons. It Is
not expected that he will ba able to
make any political addresses Jurlng the
coming campaign, but he will keep hla
hand on the controlling lever of his
party organization as long aa he Is able.
Neither the senator nor any member
of his family would make any statement
regarding the propped surgical operation.

Saw Blades and Knives Are Found
in Cells Reynolds Accused, Pull
man Porter Suspected.
ROSEBL'RG. Or.. Sept. !!. (Special.)
A well laid plot to deliver at least three
desperate characters from the Douglas
County Jail was frustrated through the
cunning displayed by Sheriff Fenton and
Constable Singleton late yesterday. Al
though eight men are confined in the
county Jail, the officers credit the at
tempted delivery to S. M. Reynolds, the
Portland Pullman porter who Is- waiting
trial on a charge of attacking Josephine
Mose. the 14-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Josephine Moss, of Grants Pas;
Clarke Martin, alleged forger, and F. M.
McDonald, alleged embezzler.
8heriff Fenton entertained suspicion
that a Jail delivery was contemplated
for several weeks, and late Friday eve
ning his contentions were substantiated
when he heard the men at work sawing
the bars. Wishing to detert them In the
act, the sheriff delayed intruflon unt'l
late last evening when he Inspected the
interior of the jail and found that sev
eral bars had been tampered with.
A further Investigation revealed nine
teen saw blades, an Iron bar and a num
ber of knives carefully hidden in one of
the dark air chambers at the rear of
the cells. The pr'soner? refused to talk
when questioned by the sheriff, further
than to admit that the saws were de
livered to them through the barred win
dows. Reynolds. Martin and McDonald
have been assigned to cells and will here
after be prohibited the privilege of the
corridor. -
