"On the other hand, as to those who say we have not gone far enough; the man who would destroy corpora tions because some of their managers have misused their powers, who would prohibit labor unions because f the evil deeds of some of their fcaders who would confiscate proper ty because it is unequally distributed, who would have government own and operate all, public utilities because some have been ill or corruptly man aged is as wrong in his judgment of present conditions as are those who trr that we have gone too far. "The Republican party with the President stands opposed to both these extremes. We have chosen the middle ground of sane, practical, constructive fodfcation. "Under this record of things done with confidence we make our pledges for future action. "The banking and currency system should be made to meet the ever growing needs of business and pro We an absolutely safe money when and where it is needed. "The tariff should be revised in ac cordance with the Republican policy of orotection; under schedules so ar ranged, there need be no favors to anv monopoly. ' "The anti-trust law should be so amended so as to prohibit unfair and unreasonable combinations. "The employers' liability law, pro viding for just, adequate and fixed compensation, and in conformity with the rule laid down by the supreme court should be enacted. "The question of the conservation of natural resources is of absorbing interest. The problem involves the future welfare of all our people. To neglect it means that private inter ests, with special privileges, will ob tain control without compensation and without due regard, of the fuel, timber and water resources of the country. The first steps to prevent such a calamity have been taken. Conservation is definitely included in the general policies of the Republican party. 1 "Thus we welcome the coming election the record is made we are ready to choose our leader, and again a son of Ohio is the destined man. Ottr people have made their selection-William H. Taft He stands prominent among the purest, wisest and strongest men of the nation. His experience 'at the bar, on the bench, in high executive office, his unusual capacity for administrative and execu- j five work, .his brilliant success in it, Bis long experienced and thorough: knowledge of the nation's affairs;! fairness, whole-souled , honesty and courage these' qualities have won for him the admiration, the trust and the loyal support of our people. Under his leadership, the Republican party, throughout its traditions, in spired by the spirit of those who created it and gave their lives that the Union should live, awake to the needs of the present, definite and fearless in its principles will with united ranks, add still another to its long list of victories." Cheers greeted every mention of the name of Taft, and the prediction that Ohio was about to furnish anoth er president created a perfect bedlam f approval. ABSURD CHALLENGE. LONDON, Mar. 3. The Sports man prints a long article this morn ing protesting against Tommy Burns "absurd challenge" to fight British boxers. It says that nobody disputes Bis right to the title of champion of the world, but such tactics are not good "sport," and would only degrade and place in peril the sport of boxing, which with great difficulty has been nursed into the position of legal pastime. MILK SEVEN CENTS A QUART, CHICAGO, Mar. 3. Indication of a general break in the price of milk appeared yesterday when one of the largest dealers announced a cut of one cent a quart. The reduction of the price to seven cents a quart brings it to the same figure that ruled before the general advance last fall At that time the claim was made that the cost of feed ing labor and other matters had ad vanced so materially that it was im possible to continue business with out a higher rate. Following the lead of the larger companies there was a general ad vance. It was charged that all deal ers were in a combination and the grand jury took up the matter, but efforts to prove that a close agree ment existed failed. s At the same time much evidence was brought out to show that the dealers did not meet and joined forces to effect some changes in the business for the gen eral advantage of alL SCARLET FEVER SERUM. NEW YORK, Mar. .-Hypoder mic injections of a serum similar to that used in the treatment of diphth eria are being successfully employed in scarlet fever cases in this city, ac cording to doctors in hospitals on the East side where the disease is unusally prevalent now, the last re port of the board of health showing 789 cases, more than six times as many as on December 1, and the great majority of them in the popu lous section which includes most of the foreign settlements. Dr. Henry Robinson of the Post Graduate hos pital said yesterday, in commenting on the tests of this treatment that although little used in this country it is not new by any means, having been employed with gratifying re sults in both Germany and France. Experiments with it here are stated to have been almost uniformly suc cessful. . OFFICIALS BUYING GUNS.

The prize win ners were Miss Mary Carter,, first lady and Leon Dow, first gentleman. Consolation prizes were won by Miss Beckiner and Mr. Langford.

This young Jew, who is the one mentioned above as "curly haired" is thought by the police to have helped plan the murder of the chief, His name could not be, learned last night, but every effort will be made to find him to-day. When the detectives entered the house at 218 Washburn Avenue, where Averbuch lived, they found his sister, Olga, clearing away dishes after a supper of cold meat and coffee. The detectives unfolded a newspaper containing a picture of the dead man and laid it before her. "Is that your brother?" she was asked, and she replied, without any display of emotion of concern, that it was. . ' v':-V . " The police showed her pair of shoes and asked her if they belonged to her brother. She said they did. Then she was told that her, brother was under arrest for a crime, but not that he was dead. "Have you got the other oner was her first question after the shock had worn laway. "Wtjat other one," asked Detective Randall "Oh, curly headed young Jew,he was studying with" she said. But she would not reveal the name of the curly headed young Jew. She refused to talk any more at that time. From the landlord H. Pine, the de tective learned that 'another young woman lived in the three rear rooms. Averbuch had reported that both were his sisters. Olga, said she was his sister but that the other was not. The other young woman has not been found. Schuettler sent two detectives from the city hall to relieve the raiding party and on their arrival the place was turned over to them with tnstruc tions to remain in waiting' for the second woman, who was described o them as being a blond and younger than Olga. This y6ung woman had not appeared at the house up to three o'clock this morning. From the neighbors little could be learned of Averbuch and the two women.

HAD A PARTNER CHICAGO, Mar. 3. Lazarous Averbuch, the young Russian ; Jew who yesterday attempted to assassin ate Chief of Police Shippy and whom the chief killed, had, it is believed, a partner in his work who thus far is known as the "curly haired boy." Two other men were arrested at mid night but it is thought their connec tion with the case is most remote. Through a search of Averbuch s library, which was made up largely of books on revolutionary subjects and lectures by prominent socialists and anarchists the police found that the terrible deed of the morning was planned and carried out to the death by a dreaming Russian boy whose mind was filled for hatred of the gov ernment in his country, the burden of the peasants of the world and the inflamatory ideas of remedying social Unequalled as a Cure for Croup.
