State Convention Leaves Re
publicans Free to Choose
Between Leaders.
DECISIVE VICTORY WON
Platform Containing Direct, Attack
on Legality of Chicago Conven
j tlon Adopted by Over-
whelming Vote.
DES MOINES. Ia., July 11. Theodore
Roosevelt won a decisive victory In
the Republican state convention here
yesterday, and the Taft Administration
and the managers on the recent Na
tional convention at Chicago were as
Secislvely rebuked.
Republicans of Iowa were left free to
rote for either President Taft or Colo
nel Roosevelt by the action of the
delegates. The matter was left entirely
to the "Individual conscience of the
voter," and the platform containing a
direct attack upon legality of the Chi
cago convention was adopted by an
overwhelming vote.
National Platform Not Indorsed.
The progressives dominated the con
vention from beginning to end. Despite
a hard struggle led by Governor Car
roll, a Taft adherent, to secure th in
dorsement of the National platform, the
amendment offered by the Iowa execu
tive containing this Indorsement was
laid on the table.
Governor Carroll presented the minor
its resolutions report, which. In addi
tion to the National platform matter,
asked for the elimination from the ma
jority platform of the plank condemn
ing the whole convention as fraudu
lently made up. He started a demon
stration for Roosevelt lasting nearly 20
minutes when he said that the Nation
al platform was not "tainted."
Cummins Suggestion Ignored.
The state platform submitted by a
majority of the resolutions committee
was adopted without roll call. No men
tion of either Taft or Roosevelt was
made In the document, which com
mends "Republican achievements and
indorses progressive policies."
A definite stand for woman suffrtge
was taken and the Legislature was
asked to submit this question to a
vote of the people.
The resolutions committee declined
to include in its report the suggestion
of Senator Cummins for a commission
to investigate the manner in which
President Taft was renominated at
Chicago.
Immediately after adjournment of
the convention last night progressive
delegates attended a meeting presided
over by Judge John L. Stevens, of
Boone, a leader of the Roosevelt forces
In Iowa, at which plans for the new
third party were adopted.
Supporters of President Taft In Iowa
last night formed a state committee,
which will work despite the refusal of
the state convention to Indorse, the
President.

RENO, Nev July 11. Roosevelt's
third party movement was launched In
Nevada today, when petitions for signa
tures by sympathizers .of Colonel

The petitions designate the new

HUMID HEAT COVERS EAST
Death List Grows, Farms Seared,
Cities Suffer, o Relief in Sight.
"WASHINGTON, July 11. A few tan
talizing thundershowers that pattered
on burned fields and hot pavements
were the only promises of relief
in sight last night fro mthe wave of hu
mid heat deluging the country.
From East and West the weather
bureau received reports of generally
increased temperature. By the stolid
figures came a story of Increased death
rates in the cities, general suffering
and seared farms.
"There is no relief in sight," said the
forecaster at the weather bureau last
night. "Today was generally warmer
except a few spots where showers
cooled things for a time. Temperatures
are gradually rising- and reports show
the likelihood of further Increases to
morrow. The heat wave from all In
dications will probably continue for
some time."
The National capital sweltered un
der a blazing sun throughout the day
with Legislators courting electric fans
and cooling drinks.
Hot weather and the vacation spirit
combined to drive the House leaders al
most to despair, for they were virtually
unable to command quorums either on
the floor or in the committees.
Last night a pelting driving shower
swept the city.

HOOD RIVER, Or, July 1L (Spe

However, the largest crowd boarded

Big Monopoly Same Plan Not
Successful in Russia.
BERLIN. July .(Special.) "Work

command Issued by the Socialists of
Germany in Vorwarts, the organ of the
Social Democratic party. The worKing
men, however, are in a quandary. A
great sacrifice is demanded of them,
and they are puzzled to know whether
their nolltical convictions are strong
enough to warrant them withstanding
the temptation of drinking lime glasses
of burning, comforting spirit. For this

claimed and preached on religious or
moral grounds. it is a move in mo jm-

the "love gift" is greatly reduced ln
order to give the government $7,500,000

their second appeal to tne worKmen.

EMPTY CAR IS DERAILED
Coach, Dragged 300 Feet, Stops on
Brink of River.
The rear coach of Roseburg passen
ger train No. 17 on the Southern Pa
cific, leaving the Union Depot Wednes
day afternoon, became derailed at a
frog and after ploughing up the ground
beside the track for nearly 300 feet
knocking the tender of an engine on
another track off the rails- and de
molishing the cement pumping station
beside the track, stopped within 60 feet
of the river.
The car remained attached to the
rest of the train and its antics did not
derail any of the other cars. Had the
train, which was crossing the Steel
Bridge, proceeded 50 feet further, the
derailed coach would have plunged
into the river.
It was two hours before the car
could be removed, and four trains were
delayed.
The wild coach which was attached
was a long car, was empty and none
of the crew noticed that it was de
railed until after it had bounded over
the ties for 100 yards and a warning
whistle was sounded by another locomotive.

According to the present programme,
the demand for action will be restricted
to those schedules which, ln the opin-
lon of. party Heads, obviously ara high.
The woolen and cotton schedules were
pointed out as perhaps the best ex
amples. Whether the platform will
enumerate' specific schedules and
pledge to scale them downward, or will
content Itself with a general declara
tion, has not been decided.
Colonel Roosevelt has been told that
the sentiment of the country, especially
the West, where his largest measure of
support Is lopked. for. Is. emphatically
in- favor of quick action on the tariff.
Colonel Roosevelt said that soon he
would make a statement upon the va
rious Issues to be raised ln the cam
paign. As to the various remedial
measures to be adopted, such as the
initiative, referendum and recall. Colo
nel Roosevelt said that his interest ln
them was secondary to the ends which
they are designed to achieve.
"That is all a part of the system to

get my doctrines from my speeches. I
am trying to get them ln practical
shape for the campaign, the basic idea
of which Is to be the solution as far as
possible of the great economlo and so

Ing place, which will greatly add to
the convenience of those who ' dally

The London General Omnibus Com
pany, which is carrying out this gi

regard to competition with the tram
way services, the company has never
run a single omnibus for the sake of
competing unfairly with them. I think
it unwise to cut fares for competitive
reasons, and as far as humanly pos
sible we will try to avoid It."
The growth of London's omnibus sys
tem will be realized when It is re
called that five years ago 10 companies
managed some 800 omnibuses a week;
today five companies manage 2000 om
nibuses, of which the London General,
which absorbed several of the vanished
firms, runs on an average of 1650 a
week. The company pays a petrol tax
alone per omnibus yearly of about
$200 To cover the area contemplated
by the London General. It is estimated
that it will be necessary to Increase
its fleet from some 1700 to 4000 omni
buses. " '
