NO FAVQK FOR
THIRD TERM
New England and Adjoining
States Believe Roosevelt
Should Not Run
SENTIMENT IS FOR TAFT
lie Would Carry Out Reforms Start
ed liy President. Hughes
is Mentioned.
Weshlngton, Sept. 4. Up In New
England and through Nev Yoik
state Republican voters, with fv
exceptions, take no Interest In the
novvement to bring about the re
nomination of President Roosevelt.
Not that the voters disapprove of
Mr. Roosevelt and his course in tho
White House, for that would not bo
a correct statement of the situation,
but merely that they admire him, be
lieve him to bo a man of his word,
and that he, having said he does not
desire and will not accept another
nomination, some man other than he
must bo nominated next year.
A two weeks' trip through New
York state and New England failed
to find a single voter who favored
the re-nomlnatlon of Mr. Roosevelt,
and yet nearly every one questioned
commended tho President for what
he had dono and expressed the belief
that the country would be the gainer
if Mr. Roosevelt could be persuaded
to accept another nomination. But
Mr. Roosevelt has said ho does not
want another nomination and would
not accept another nomination, and
the better olass of people the think
ing class in New England and New
York have such faith In the Presi
dent that they are willing to take
him at his word.
Relievo He Means It.
It is rather strange that among so
many Republicans who voted for Mr.
Roosevelt in 1904, but who are not
willing to support him for re-nomln-atlon,
not one mentioned any fear of
a third term. Their opposition to
the re-nominatlon of Mr. Roosevelt
Is not due to any apprehension as to
the outcome of the election, nor to
any apprehension of what might hap
pen should Mr. Roosevelt be re-elected.
Dut Mr. Roosevelt has spoken,
and that, to their minds, is enough.
Perhaps sentiment in the north
east end of the country might be il
lustrated by a convention with a
hard-headed Yankee residing In Con
necticut. This life-long Republican
had voted for Mr. Roosevelt In 1904,
and he enthusiastically commended
the reforms that Mr. Roosevelt had
inaugurated and carried out. He
had no criticism to make of the way
Governmental affairs had been con
ii net ad since Mr. Roosevelt first en
tered the White House.
"Do you favor tho re-nomlnatlon
of Mr. Roosevelt?" was asked.
"Certainly not," ho replied.
"But you believe he has made a
good President, yet you do not want
him continued in office?"
Must Respect His Wishes.
"The country never saw a more
prosperous time than it has during
Mr. Roosevelt's administration,' was
the reply, "and a great measure of
this prosperity is due to President
Roosevelt. He understands the con
ditions that exist; he. knows the
needs of the people; recognizes that
corporation abuses have grown to
outlandish proportions, and he has
done more than any other President
to preserve the rights of the people
and to curb tho usurpations of the
corporations. For this and for much
more the country is indebted to
Roosevelt, but we must remember
that the President has said he doeB
not -want another nomination, a""
there is no doubt in my mind that
he was absolutely sincere. If he
feels that way about it, we must re
spect his wishes."
"But would you favor another
term for Roosevelt if the convention
should unanimously indorse him?'
was asked.
"Of course I would vote for Roose
velt If ho should bo re-nomlnated,
hut I cannot conceivo that any con
vention will overlook tho personal
desire of a man who has given the
country tho best years of his life,
and who has expressed a desire to
retire."

work, no wear on clothes Gaseno.
QUARANTINE OFFICERS
FUMIGATED BREAKWATER
Uoat Readies Coos Ray a Little Late,
Onlng to Last Week's
Relay.
The Breakwater, which left Coos
Bay ono day late last week, arrived
yesterday noon at North Bend, where
the freight for that city was unload
ed. The steamer reached Marshfield
about four o'clock and the long
shoremen wero busy with the unload
ing late into tho night. The ship
was held up by the authorities in the
Columbia river and fumigated ac
cording to the latest and most ap
proved style, tl'us coming to the Bay
with a clean bill of health. What
icason the authorities found for tak
ing this action is unknown, since the
ship does not run to San Francisco,
and so would not come under the
ordinary suspicion which boats ply
ing from that port would. The boat
had 500 tons of freight and the fol
lowing passengers:

FLEET FOR PACIFIC
IS A NECESSITY
Membeis of Naval Committee De
clare Our Interest De
mand It.
New York, Sept. 4. Congressman
Roberts of Massachusetts, who, with
other members of the naval commit
tee, is Investigating the needs of the
Brooklyin Navy-Yard, said that the
trip of the battleship via Magellan
is for tactical reasons alone. Said
he:
"We all believe the Suez route Is
easier and cheaper, but their going
by a hard route will determine some
of our needs in tho Pacific, particu
larly in the matter of coaling sta
tions and the mainland. I have not
tho slightest doubt that a million
dollars will be used up in the Pacific
route, but If the naval tacticians
wish to determine certain things,
now Is tho time."
Representative Foss, chairman of
the committee, said the committee
would probably ask congress to au
thorize four more battleships, and
added.
"We may as well make up our
minds now that It Is necessary to
malntan a large fleet in tho Pacific.
Our interests are too great on that
coast to do otherwise."
MILITARY CALLED OUT
IN ANTWERP STRIKE
Indications That Strike Will .Be Set
tled By Arbitration. Flro is
Burning Lumber.
Antwerp, Sept. 4. The military
controlled tho situation today
Lthough tho rioters attacked a number
of freight cars in which strikers were
riding. Twenty rioters were wound
ed last night by sabres or revolvers
of police. The men who took part in
the recent disordors were largely led
by women.
Thanks to tho presence of the
mlllta the evonlng passed compara
tively quiet, the only incident was
tho burning of another lumber yard
which is blazing furiously at the
present writing. Indications are
that tho strike will soon be ended
by means of arbitration.
Chas. E. Montgomery leaves
Marshfield for Ellendalo this weok.
Ho regrets very much that he could
not bid all his friends good bye, but
desires through the medium of tho
Times to thank most heartily all
those who have extended him their
help and good will.

RAILROAD PRESIDENTS
ASSEMBLE IN NEW YORK
New York, Sept. 4. The presence

cuss the two cent rate proposition
and questions affecting railroads

Railroad men denied this, saying

HUNUKfcU IN NUHI
Spectacle of Charging Enemy Was
Inspiring. French Seemed Like

Casa Blanca, Sept. 4. About six
thousand Moors participated in Mon-
day's fight. The Moors were repulsed
on all sides. It was a most lmpros
slvo picture. Garbed fantastically,
mounted on Wild horses, cairying
their banners in the front lino, thny
swept down from rillia in s:liindl'l
formation and charged thuudt'rous'y
to within four hunderd yards of the
French, who for the moment f-eonicd
In danger of being ovor-iiddtn. As
they advanced the Moors chanted
verses from the Koran. The French
forces wero employed to groat ad
vantage. The ground was s.trewn
with dead. The battlo lahted seven
hours. It Is estimated that in tho
engagements of Aug. 2S and Sep.. I,
about eight hundred Moors wuie
killed.
Surprises France.
Pairs, Sept. 4. Tho niws of Mon
day's sanguinary battlo at Casa
Blanca shocked and surprised Trance
Tho fighting demonstratjd that con

posed. The Moors are mobllzlng
large numbers which may necessitate
a distinct enlargement of the allied
forces to bring , the fighting to an
end.

turned to the bay where he visited
his daughter, Mrs. C. A. Macl, and
family. Mr. Krewson tells us that
there is nothing in the report that the
Southern Pacific is deserting the
work on the Drain road. It is true
they took away a few carloads of
rails which they neded down on the
Klamath line, but there remains
enough to cover several acres of
ground six fet deep, and the materi
als for five largo steel bridges, tho
concrete piers for which are in course
of construction. Mr. Krewson has
put In 18 months with a large crew
of men moving houses and barns
from the right ot way, and all that
could have been dono for a number of
months on account of tho tled-up
condition of affairs owing to the fail
ure of the Loss contracts, a matter
which has Just been settled, and it is
now expected that the work will
porgress as rapidly as the harbor
market will permit. The work on

having been seriously delayed In this
state lately on account of lack of
workmen. Coqullle Herald.
