Inscrutable way of Providence. With reference to the final extinction of the latter day successor of the Delmonico restaurant, it is related that two Germans, fresh from Chicago, once visited New York, and one well acquainted with the city invited his friend to dine at Delmonico’s, where a dinner for two and a bottle of wine were ordered. The place and fare were praised until the bill of sll was presented. This they considered an extortion. They paid, however, and while walking down Broadway the excited German commenced to swear at the supposed extortion. Hla friend then said: “Do not schwear, Yawcop. It. is wicked to schwear. God hah punished that man Delmonico.'’ “How?” “I has mine pocket full mlt shpoons.”

The Intruder.

A certain boat coming up the Mississippi one day during the flood lost her way and bumped up against a frame house. She hadn’t more than touched it before an old darkey rammed his head up through a hole in the roof, where the chimney once came out, and yelled at the captain on the roof: “Whar’s yer gwine wid dat boat? Can’t you see nothin’? Fust thing yer knows yer gwine to turn dls house ober, spill de old woman an’ de chll’en out in de flood an' drown ’em. What yer doin’ out here in de country wid yer boat, anyhow? Go on back yander froo de co’n fields an’ get back into de ribber whar ye b’longs. Ain’t got no business sev’n miles out In the country foolin’ roun’ people’s houses nohow?” And she backed out. —Life.

Hints to Lovelorn Gents.

If she makes a practice of eating onions for supper every time you call, it is a sign that she is indifferent toward your suit If you spend a lot of money sending flowers to her every day it may make a hit with her, but she will marry somebody who has more sense. Don’t talk to her about love In a cottage. Talk about a brownstone bungalow and spring the cottage on her after you get her. If she is handsome, tell her about it, and if she Isn’t, tell her anyway. Have an automobile catalogue in your coat pocket where she can catch a glimpse of it

Blackbirds’ Courage.

At Heriot Gardens, a new and pretty suburb of Burntisland, a cat upon a garden wall was about to pounce upon a female blackbird Bitting on her nest of eggs, when her mate, which was on the watch, sounded the alarm. Acting together, both set upon the cat with a vigor that hustled it off the wall into a neighboring garden. The birds pursued it along the path, keeping at close quarters till it escaped under cover. Victory was complete, and the enemy has not approached the place since.—London Globe.

POPULAR VERDICT AGAINST ROOSEVELT In every state In which the people have had an opportunity to express their sentiment slnoe the nomination of President Taft, the verdict hse been adverse to Colonel Roosevelt and has demonstrated the Increasing disintegration and eventual coßapae of the third party. The results of the regular and primary elections thus far held offer convincing evidence of the steadily decreasing strength of the third term candidate. REGULAR ELECTIONS. VERMONT —The Roosevelt ticket polled only about 15,000 votes and was third In the race. MAINE —There was no Progressive ticket and the united Republicans overcame a Democratic plurality of nearly 9,000 of two years ago, elected their gubernatorial ticket by a plurality of 4,000 and gained a congressman. PRIMARY ELECTIONS. MICHIGAN —The third term party had a fall primary election ticket in the field but polled only about 8,000 votes out of a total of 150,000. In one county whese the election officers were asked for 8,0000 Roosevelt tickets only 189 votes were oast MINNESOTA —The Republicans nominated their governor and United States senator, together with other officers. The third party ticket made a poor showing. WASHINGTON —The Roosevelt ticket received about 25,000 votes, out of 300,000. The Republican vote was greater than the Roosevelt and Democratic vote combined. COLORADO —The Republicans nominated their gubernatorial ticket over the Progressive opposition. CALIFORNIA —Last May the Roosevelt vote in the primaries Showed 77,000 majority. In the September primaries the Roosevelt majority was less than 8,000. «• 1 "" ' ■ 1 ■ r 'iei

LITTLE SENTIMENT FOR ROOSEVELT

Minnesota Republioana Have No Interest in a Third Term Party. Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 27.—The recent primaries In this state demonstrate that the Roosevelt sentiment In this Btate Is decidedly on the decrease. The renominatlons of Governor Eberhart and Senator Nelson, both loyal Republicans and Taft supporters, have encouraged the Republicans of this state to make a vigorous and aggressiv fight. Little sentiment Is found In Wisconsin for Roosevelt, and the contest, without doubt, is narrowed down between Taft and Wilson. The business men of Milwaukee, and other Wisconsin cities, are rallying to the support of the Republican ticket and volunteering their services to elect |Taft. The prosperous condition of their business urges them to support the present administration.

ROOSEVELT VOTE SMALL

Pijlmarles In Mlohigan Bhow That - Republioana Art Loyal. Detroit, Mich., Sept. 28. —Charlee D. Hllles of the Republican national committee, who recently spent a day In this state, held a conference with the Republican county chairmen — 88 oountles being represented by these leaders of oounty organizations. Eighty of the oounty chairmen reported that their counties would vote for Taft and only three stated that conditions were doubtful. These reports are the logical sequence of the recent primary In Michigan where the vote for the Third Term party ticket was pitifully small. Representative McLaughlin of the Ninth Michigan District, In speaking of conditions In that state, says that Roosevelt is losing ground dally and the outlook tor a splendid majority for Taft Is growing every day. The recent state Republican convention was attended by nearly 1,500 delegates. Great enthusiasm was manifested and the speakers were applauded. Roosevelt’s name was not mentioned, while President Taft’s name was loudly cheered.

REFUSE TO JOIN ROOSEVELT

New Mexico Republicans Prefer to Remain With Their Party. Santa Fe, N. M., Sept 27.—United States Senator Thomas B. Catron of this state says that a large number of the Progressives are refusing to go into the new party. They prefer to remain with the Republican party. "It looks to me now.” he says, “as if the electoral rote of New Mexloo is certain to be given to President Taft" Albuquerque, N. M., Sept 27. —"So tor as the third party is concerned In New Mexloo, It is as dead as Julius Caesar," is the assertion of Jhe Albuquerque Morning'Journal, the official newspaper at this state. The Journal names a number of men. Including former Governor H. 1. H&gennan and Associate Justice R. H. Hanna, who have fought the battles of the Progressive movement but who have now quit in disgust Hie third party in New Mexico is characterised as a "dead duck.”

ROOSEVELTS STRENGTH IS FALLING OFF

Washington Republicans Outnumber Democrats and Third Termers Combined. Seattle, Wash., Sept 28. —In the recent primaries In this state the Progressives oast about 25,000 votes out of a total vote exceeding 800,000, or about eight In every hundred. The Republican vote was greater than that of the Democrats and the Third Termers oombined. S. W. Perkins, Republican national committeeman tor Washington, who has been engaged In making a canvass of the political situation In this state, says that he Is In reoelpt of letters from every section Indicating a remarkable tolling off of Roosevelt’s strength. The figures of the primary demonstrate that these letters accurately present popular sentiment. Mr. Roosevelt claimed the Washington delegation In the Republican National convention In Chicago. The absurdity, not to say dishonesty, of his claim, Is proven by the poor showing made by his followers in the recent primary.

A FAILURE IN COLORADO

Why the Roosevelt Movement Has FsNed to Materialise. “The Roosevelt movement is a failure In Colorado,** said David Heaton Of Sallda, Colo., during a recent visit to Chicago, while discussing the political situation In bis state. He is president and general manager of the Federal Consolidated Monumental Granite company, and is also identified with large mining interests. “We are tired of Industrial and political pyrotechnics In Colorado," he continued. “We have been through all sorts cff disturbances In our state. We have seen what were oalled ’dynamite days.’ We have had our wild and woolly experiences and we have known what it Is to deal with strikes and strikers. Mr. Roosevelt Is now a dangerous type of pohtloal striker, doing' nothing but raising trouble. We do not want s man of his temperament In the White House. We prefer to support President Taft"

Roosevelt a Frost In Oregon. A V. Spalding, a widely known contracting engineer of Portland, Ora, while on his way east from Portland, reports -'that the Roosevelt tour through Washington, Oregon and the Pacific coast states was a frost A letter rooetved at the Taft heedquarters from Edward D. Baldwin, secretary of the Oregon state central committee, says: “Things s re looking better here every day tot Taft., The lukewarm reception given Roosevelt in Portland the other day has given oonrage to our people."

PLAIN ARGUMENT FOR THE VOTERS

Congressman Crum packer’s Speech Filled With Proof of Republican Party’s Progression. & Voters who failed to hear the campaign address by Congressman Edgar D. Crumpacker at the Ellis Theatre in Rensselaer Monday night missed a logical and argumentative speech that evaded nothing, met all issues fairly, discussed them thoroughly and left a mighty good feeling with all who carefully followed the speech. There was a fine audience at the opera house. The lower floor was filled, all seats being taken and a number standing in the rear and a good many upstairs. Those who have been hearing Congressman Crumpaeker’s speeches biennially during the past sixteen years know that he has always discussed the campaign issues with implicit fairness and has always brought a message of encouragement and optimism to us. In this speech he did not differ from .those in former ’ years, except it seemed that he really had more good things to tell about to reassure doubting ones that the republican party has kept faith with the people and passed one good measure after another. Progress, long the watchword of the party, has more than ever inspired our lawmakers and nothing has been left undone to promote the welfare and happiness of the American people. The steps have not been radical; wild measures of revolution have not been encouraged by the republican party, but substantial things that make for real accomplishment have been enacted into law while keeping all business on a substantial footing,, and assuring prosperity to the farmer, the manufacturer, the mechanic and the laborer alike.

In opening bis address Congressman Crumpacker said that he considered it both a pleasure and a duty to go over the district every two years and to discuss with the people the problems of legislation. He said that he considered it the duty of the representative - of the people to declare his attitude on matters of legislation and to leave no doubt in the minds of the people as to what he would do in all legislative matters. He took a little twist at his opponent, John B. Peterson, who decided to make a gumshoe campaign, in which it is possible for him to agree with all with whom he talks and to make promises" 1 by which he is not bound. He said that Mr. Peterson is an able talker and that he owed it to the people whom he desires to represent to come before them with pledges and publicly declare his attitude on great questions. He said that no campaign should be one of personality but of policy; that voters should not be led away by the influence of any one but should vote for that which they believe to be right and for the principles and fundamental truths that determine our national policies. He devoted considerable time to a discussion of the tariff, showing that the republican party is pledged to building a tariff based upon a scientific investigation of the cost of production at home and abroad. He told of the work of the tariff board, of its reports to the president and to congress and of the fact that President Taft had repeatedly urged that their reports be made the basis of tariff revision of the articles on which the report was made. He showed that the democratic majority in the house had passed tariff bills in which the reports of the board had been ignore# and that the president had vetoed them because their operation meant the certain destruction of American factories and the consequent destruction of employment to thousands of factory hands. He showed that the country has enjoyed unbounded prosperity under the operation of the present tariff law, the much criticized and probably far from perfect Payne law, and yet a law under which the country has enjoyed unprecedented prosperity. He showed that there was not very great difference in the republican and the third pasty plans of dealing with the tariff. Both favor a scientific tariff. The republican party believes in at once adopting the expert data gathered by the board and proceeding to ascertain other information for the revision of all schedules. The progressive party believes in Immediate revision and in getting the information later. Both parties are opposed to the democratic plan and to defeat that plan should cause all who believe in protection to unite in its defense.

He talked of the Canadian reciprocity law, the introduction and passage of which had the endorsement of (Roosevelt and of Beveridge. Both are now claiming that they did not understand it and yet Mr. Roosevelt wrote a letter to President Taft saying that he was In favor of free trade relations with Canada and commending Taft for having undertaken a treaty of this kind. And Senator Beveridge had discussed the measure in detail while a member of the senate and had stood for its passage firmly. President Taft had favored It and so had Mr. Crumpacker. Roosevelt deserted when he found that it was being criticised in agricultural centers and Beveridge followed him because it seemed popular and both gave the flimsy excuse that they “did not understand.” Congressman Crumpacker said that Canadian reciprocity was now a dead issue and that he did not expect it to be resurrected in twenty-five years. Having noted down a number of the planks in the third party platform, Congressman Crumpacker ’reported the progress made in a number of them, mpst of the important ones, during President Taft’s administration. The others, he said, were of doubtful quality and had never been advocated by Roosevelt during the years he was president nor when he became a candidate this year on the republican ticket. They were adopted when through disappointment he

sought to disrupt the republican party. He read the third party pledge in the matter of pensions, which promises pensions to all American soldiers and which was beyond question a sop for southern support with the belief extended there that confederate soldiers would be pensioned. Some northern people who doubt this purpose need but know the attitude of-’southern legislators in this matter. Speaking for himself, Mr. Crumpacker said that there was not one chance in four hundred for John O. Bowers to be elected and that the tariff being the important issue and the election of Peterson meaning aid in adopting free trade-laws he appealed to all who favored a protective tariff to support himself. He read the letter that John B. Peterson wrote to Baughman & Williams, of Rensselaer, on Dec. 15, 1906, in which he declined to accept some private legislation because his time was altogether taken up in corporation work, for railroads, etc., and made the statement that Peterson was the attorney for the Standard Oil Co. and for thq railroads. Mr. Crumpacker’s speech was certainly an able one, interesting, instructive, honest, convincing and reassuring to us that the republican party has remained true to its policies and to the people and is today more deserving than ever before the support of those who have belonged to it for so many years and of those who are starting out In life with the roseate hope of success. Mr. Crumpacker In this speech at once commended himself to all who heard it as fair and honest and worthy the continued confidence of the constituency whom he has served so excellently for so long a time. If this copy of The Republican falls into the hands of any person who has not heard Congressman Crumpacker speak this year, we recommend that they make a special effort to hear him. They will be well repaid and will be doing justice to themselves, to him and to the purpose for which we are all striving, the greatest good to the greatest number.
