PRESIDENT P
FOR TRIP THROUGH NOTRHWEST
DEMOCRATIC RECIPROCITY WILL BE HIS SHIELD
Will Not Discuss His Veto of Recall But to Make Effort to
Entice Progressives Away From Senator
La Follet'e of Wisconsin.
Beverly, Mans., Aug. 28. While in
lsting that he in taking u much need
ed rest, which will be continued for
two weeks, and letting it be under
stood that he is not to be bothered by
vis tors, President Taft is openly pre
paring for a vigorous campaign to
free himself from the hopeless tangle
Into which he has allowed himself to
become involved by his actions dur
ing the late special session of con
gress grooming himself for a try at
a second term as the chief executive
of the I'nited States.
The president's first coating of
salve will be applied during his in
vasion of the northwest states during
the next few weeks. During this trip
he will attempt to defend his recent
acts
In the west Tic will take for his
text the tariff and scientific revision.
In the northwest he will take up the
trouble that has arisen over the Alas
kan com fields and he will attempt to
show the people that he is doing all
in his .oner t,i safeguard Alaska from
monopolies.
Koali.ing I'nit-il States Senator I.a
Pollette of Wisconsin. Is one of bis
most dangerous contemporaries for!
the .nomination of the republican par-:
ty, Mr. Taft will seek to bring about
the p.'inpadouied Wisconsin's down
fall by assailing the motives of Mr.
J.n 1'ellette and at the same time in
viting til" progressive element to de
sert their leader and embark in the
Tift musical vehicle.
Mr - Taft will also devote much

WHEAT IARKET OPENS WITH 11
MANY SELLING YIELDS AT TO CENTS
For the first time this season there
were "things doing" In the local wheat
market Saturday and between a quar
ter and a half million bushels of
wheat were sold throughout the coun
ty. All if the wheat went at 70 ct nts
per bushel for club, and the market
remains the same today.
Until the ljrenk came Saturday
there had been practically no wheat
mild locally. Most of the farmers
were waiting for a price ns high as 70
cents and almost invariably they hnd
refused to part with their grain at
lower figures.
With the udvance to 70 cents Satur
day selling lifetime lively and during
the day many crops changed from
the hands of the farmers to the
brokers.
As to how much wheat was soil
Saturday there is a marked divergence
of opinion. Old line buyers say that
in the neighborhood of half a million
bushels were sold, J. W. Malonoy,
who is buying for the farmers co-op-rratlve
organization Is more conser

leave severely alone during his trip
will be the recall of the judiciary
matter.
His other veto messages will be de
fended by him and he will also out
line his position on issues that will
form the substance of the coming po
litical campaign.
Believing 4.hat the southern states
are safely lined up for him, but fear
ful of the progressive activity in
Michigan, Mr. Taft has announced
that he will postpone his proposed
trip into Tennessee and spend the
time, originally planned to be spent
in Tennessee, In Michigan instead.
He realizes that the middle west
and far western states, are debatable
ground, hence h' decision to spend a I
good portion of his time In those sec
tions. Ills itinerary has been arranged
with tile view of being greeted by
large audiences all along the line. He

There is nlso a notieahle difference

declare they have had no advices on
prices or that the price is down n

Mr. Mai mey Is still buying wheat at
70 cents and declares that he could
not find enough wheat to meet his
needs Saturday.
In local financial and business cir

said. "On one day they commenced

I The third matinee of the Uiumd
I Pp Hiding and Priving club which
was held at the park yesterday came
near being the occasion of a fatal ac
cident when a headon collision be

animals and rideVs in a heap. O. H.
Thomas was knocked insensible by
the fall and the majority of the bug"

placed him in his automobile and
rushed him to the hospital where an
examination showed that lu was not

been fractured but he was suffering

hi is resting easily.
The accident happened when
George Gillette on Hilly Ilo.uh's

who was riding John Temple's run

San Francisco, Calif., Aug. 28. Ju
lius Kruttschnitt, vice president and
general manager of the Harriman sys
tem of railroad lines. Is in this city
today but gave out the information,
that he would not confer with the of
ficers of the federation of shopmen
regarding their demands for increas
ed wages, shorter hours and recogni
tion of the federation,' until next
Thursday, and it is possible that he
w'll refuse to treat with the federa
tion under any circumstances
Mr. Kruttschnitt is credited with a
statement to the effect that the rail
roads cannot possibly recognize the
federation, as to do so would place
the unions in control of the industrial
s tuat.on and the railroads would
have to take second place in the
w rd of capital and labor.
President Reguin of the Federa
tion ef Southern Pacific shopmen,
said today that he expected Mr.
K: uttschnitt would receive the dele
gation of presidents of the crafts
unions. Involved in the struggle and
he furtht r believed that the federation
officials will be recognized and final
ly treated with by Mr. Kru'tschnitt. If
th's is refused he intimidat-J. a strike
of the federated shopmen would s ion
follow.
President Beguin said:
"Mr. Krutt-chnitt has t'.ie reputa
tion of being a n i an of his word. He
ha- b in (jUoted as sayin-r that he is
willing to nuer. with any one to dis
cuss lids matter.
"If tins is true, we w il not have
any furth-r trouble. The m-.n up and
down the coast are willing to await
the !..-ult of this conference and I
believe the danger of a strike is past.
"i if course should Mr. Kruttsc hnitt
refuse to d-;al with the federation, the
men in the shops will undoubtedly
take measure to protect themselves.
