THE TELEPHONE SITUATION, Richmond people do not have to reckon back very far to recall the days of a telephone monopoly-in this city a monopoly that charged high rates for poor service. The advent of a competing system had the usual re suits and for the pa6t ten years an excellent service by the newer comuany has steadily developed. It is now understood that the original corporation, controlling the great major ity of the telephone systems of the United States is trying to buy the new plant outright. The question ! would there be a return to the un pleasant monopolistic conditions of a dozen years ago? The men who subscribed the capital lor the Home Telephone company saw a great business opportunity and made It a success. The original com pany still remained, although probably at a net loss each month, and all efforts to regain its former prestige have been fruitless. It is known that negotiations for the purchase of the new plant have been under way al most from the first but up to this time they have been without results. It is now believed that if the automatic system is to be sold, the deal will take place at once while the plant Is new and in perfect working order. The public should be protected by one means or another from thecondl lions which govern a monopoly. Pub lic service corporations are not ' ravaging as they were a few years back, but should the two telephone systems be consolidated, council should at once limit the rates, and on the basis established by competition. AN AXE TO GRIND. The Richmond "business man" who so kindly, but anonymously contributes his view on the purchase of voting machines for use la Wayne county, is

either too ignorant to add two and two or else his business Is something along the line of political coercion. By misrepresenting alleged results, should the machines be installed, the gentleman who leaves his "business" long enough to look up the awful facts hopes to block the path of progress, as It were, and Influence voters against one of the most useful agents of modern balloting. The writer declares there will be many who would split the republican ticket owing to their dislike for certain men named thereon. He charges that the laboring men will do this, because they will not understand the mechanism of the machines. It is a

high tribute to any man with common intelligence to accuse him of being unable to vote a machine when the mechanism is so simple and easily under stood. Voting machines have greatly improved and are now pronounced a success in every part of the country where they are used. The subtle insinuation of the "business man", al though his writings smack strongly of editorial training, are intended to ben efit the democratic candidate, but their object is lost as the voter realizes whose axe he is asked to grind. The school books are to be changed again, that other publishers may get a part of the big pie. Under the present system, a public school pupil ought to have a whole library of fourth readers when he graduates. The time is now drawing nigh for the old residents to hear the drum corpse" go past the house. If Roose velt could only have put that simplified spelling thing through. The brewers' say the reform wave is dying and that they are going to support the democratic ticket. But they have always said that, so what's the difference? On the Fourth of July, take one small boy with more matches than brains; then add a dash of black powder but it's an old story. Ask the doctor. The fact that there is to be an eclipse of the sun next Sunday morning will not be taken as a reasonable excuse for staying away from church. It would be interesting to know if all of the Richmond milk dealers drink their own milk. THOMAS TAGGART LEADER AGAINST BRYAN RAMPARTS (Continued From Page One.) rooms of the national committee to his own headquarters tent. Mr. Bryan is again being quoted as strongly favoring the nomination of Judge George Gray or of Governor Johnson for the vice presidency. ExVice President Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois is being widely discussed among the Bryan leaders. WELKIN TO RING WITH CAMPAIGN ORATORY SOON (Continued From Page One.) Mr. Sherman, is a member of the house committee on rules. In addition to the orators from oth er states, the republican campaign in Indiana will be reinforced by a strong corps of state speakers. Vice President Fairbanks will be heard. It Is announced at republican state headquarters that John L. Griffiths, consul at Liverpool, is coming home to participate In the campaign. This will be cheering news to those who have the republican cause at heart, as he is one of the most able campaign ers in the country. Governor Hanly will deliver several speeches and Senators Beveridge and Hemenway will give their best efforts to the campaign. As a rule the republican candidates for congress will confine their speechmaking to their several districts. William J. Bryan will be the democratic star of first magnitude in Indiana this year. He will be at the disposal of the state committee for a number of speeches. Already there are evidences of a great demand for him that will tax the diplomacy of Bert Hendren chairman of the democratic speakers bureau. It is safe to say that Mr. Bryan will be sent over the state in a special train. When asked yesterday for the list of speakers that will come from other states into Indiana. Joseph Reiley, secretary of the democratic state committee, said: "It is not necessary for us to import a long list of speakers for the best oratorical talent in the country grows right here in Indiana. What state pro duces better orators than John W. Kern, G. V. Menzles. John E. Lamb, B. F. Shively, Samuel M. Ralston, Thomas R. Marshall and others too numerous to mention?" The Ilatt Of The Body. The orsra around which all tbe other organs revolve, and epon which they are largely dependent tor their welfare. Is the stomach. When the functions of the stomach become impaired, the bowels and liver also become deranged. To core a disease of the stomach, ltvrr or bowels get a SO cent or $1 bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrap Pepsin at your druggist's. It Is the promptest relief for constipation and dyr pepsia ever compounded,

The concrete inserted beneath the remaining portion of the east abut ment of the old National Road Bridge on Maine street, has slipped from position and fallen across the water pipe of the interurban power house. Work men are engaged in preparing the mass of concrete for dynamiting. It is necessary that it be removed. A large charge of the explosive will be needed .owing to the weight and so lidity of the concrete. The abutment has been undermined by the work of the water and the concrete has fallen away and broken the big supply pipe 1 The dynamiting will be done by Sheriff Meredith. He made inquiries of the city attorney and prosecutor to j learn If he would be prosecuted in case any fish are killed, as the result of the explosion. He was assured he will not be handled by the law if he escapes the dynamite's force,. HOLE TO WORK AGAINJN ROCKIES Earlham Professor in Geological Survey. Prof. Allen D.

He takes with him this year two Earlham stu dents, who will assist in the geological survey and make three college credits in geology. They are Millard S. Markle of Greensfork and Wilmer W. Lindley of West Middleton. The Actor' Card. "I showed them my card at the door, the actor was complaining, "and they referred me to the manager. And what do you suppose he said. He said he -was sorry, but the demand for seats had been so great that he had decided to discontinue the professional free list" "Well." said his friend the sharper, "did you expect to beat a full house with, a slncle card 2" Uptown Matron (to agitated footman) James, what means this intrusion? Who are these vulgar people? James Don't blame, me, mem. They rushed right by me at the door, mem, and hup the stairs.

CASTS A

BOMB

IN BRYAN CAMP Announced Governor Johnson Will Open Denver Headquarters. HE HAS NO CHANCE. AT LEAST THIS IS WHAT THE FIRM FRIENDS OF BRYAN ARE CLAIMING AND SAY HE OUGHT TO WITHDRAW HIS NAME. Denver. Col., June 27. A bombshell burst in the democratic national headquarters last night, when it was learned that Governor Johnson of Minnesota would arrive in Denver next week and open headquarters a most unusual thing for a presidential candidate to do. What is more, Frederick Lynch, his campaign manager, has telegraphed the Albany Hotel management to reserve every room available for John son's headquarters, to be opened under his charge July 1. It is reiterated that Bryan has 671 Instructed delegates and 150 more who will be with him on the first ballot and that unless Johnson is being bad ly fooled he will not permit his name to be presented to the convention. Bryan leaders laugh at Johnson's chances. They say that forty of the sixty-eight delegates are coming on the Bryan special; that New York will vote for Bryan and that several other of the Johnson claims are absurd. Johnson's fi lends say their man will have the delegates from the following states: New York 78 Maine 12 Maryland 1 New Hampshire 8 Alabama - Connecticut lO Delaware 6 tiorida 10 Georgia -6 Louisiana IS Ohio 10 Pennsylvania C8 Massachusetts 12 Minnesota 22 New Jersey 24 Rhode Island 8 Vermont 8 District of Columbia t Alaska Porto Rico Total 3G2 Second Place Aspirants. New England Introduced a favorite son for the vice presidency nomination. Connecticut, supported by leaders from Massachusftts, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, are said to favor Archibald McNeil of Bridgeport as Bryan's running mate. He is a state senator and a wealthy coal dealer. The vice presidential boom of Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, millionaire Lieutenant governor of New York, launched by New York's national committeeman, Norman E. Mack, attracted less talk while the name of Morgan J. O'Brien, ex-chief justice of New York, was heard more frequently. Thomas Taggart, chairman of the national committee, continues to declare for John W. Kern of Indiana. Charles A. Towne, ex-congressman of Minnesota, has shied his castor into the ring as vice presidential candidate. His friends wired from New York last night to reserve headquarters for him at the Savoy.

WAIT 0II CASTRO Thought He Will Turn Some Card in the Near Future.

GUNBOAT ORDERED TO SAIL Washington, Juno 27. Orders were sent to the gunboat Marietta at Willenstadt, Curacao, to proceed to Guantanamo, Cuba, with Jacob Sleeper, charge at Caracas, and Lieutenant Ruggles, Military attache. Mr. Sleeper advised the department that if he took a regular steamer for New York it would carry him to Porto Cabello, which he just left. The Marietta has been ordered out of service 33 a dispatch boat between the United States and Venezuela, as this government has no diplomatic representative in Venezuela now. Mr. Sleeper will remain at Guantanamo only long enough to catch a steamer on his way to New York, going by way of Cienfuegos and Havana, Cuba. The state department is awaiting with interest the arrival here of Mr. Sleeper, as it is believed that President Castro will not be willing to permit the present anomalous situation to continue indefinitely without taking action of some kind. The Marietta will leave here today for Guantanamo with Jacob Sleeper, the former American Charge d'Aff aires at Caracas, and his party.
