Wanted Interurbans! Every day a light la to be seen at the corner of Eighth and Main streets which la the story of much of Richmond's progress.. That is the story of the in term bans. The story of Indianapolis Is the story of the Interurban and so It Is with every Indiana city. That's the cause of the rapid growth of the suburbs, the outlying districts, the towns around and it is the connecting link between city and ', country. .".': Time was when all the small towns fought off the Interurban aa the very plague Itself because they feared that they would be exterminated. Today the very towns that were the most afraid have prospered. And so when the Young Men's Business Club takes up the work of bringing Interurbans more of them to Richmond it Is not alone the work of making Richmond a better and more prosperous town, but an actual development of the communities which are a part of Richmond, the part of Richmond which lies in the country along the routes which have been proposed. . . As for the fact of the matter It is rarely that such a prosperoua and well peopled tract of country is so little touched by that middle western institution, the Interurban. As far as developing all this part of the country and making it a bet- ; ter place to live is concerned, the Y. M. B. C. cannot select a field for its activities which will pay a larger rercentage In as many ways. The fall, or autumn, or, as It Is better known, the bonfire season, Is close at band and the hayfever patient is anxiously Inquiring when the anti-smoke ordinance becomes effective.

Richmond's amusement loving populace is petitioning the democratic speakers' bureau to have William Jennings Bryan booked for a "show" in this city. His feat of standing with one foot on the Nebraska water wagOn and the other on an Indiana brewery wagon is said to be a "scream."

TAFT DID HOT PLOT AGAIUST ROOSEVELT In a Letter to Lloyd C. Griscom, the President Says He Had Nothing to Do With "Old Guard V Action.

- Success has rewarded the efforts of Lloyd C. Griscom, chairman of the New York county republican committee, to clear up the maze of conflicting statements regarding the recent "overthrow" of former President Theodore Roosevelt In his defeat for the office of temporary chairman of the New York state republican convention. . President Taft upon whose shoulder certain leaders placed responsibility for success of the "old guards" maneuvers which resulted in the election of Vice President James S. Sherman as temporary chairman, has written Mr. Griscom denying participating in any plan to humiliate Mr.' Roosevelt Mr. Griscom has made public the president's letter, adding a few remarks of his own. Mr. Roosevelt after reading the president's letter, has expressed satisfaction with the explanation from Beverly. Vice President Sherman hag made no statement and at his home in Utica, refused absolutely to discuss the matter in any way. The President' Letter. "Beverly, Mass.. Aug. 20, 1910 My 'dear Mr. Griscom: As you know from your telephone conversations with my office, I have steadfastly refused to admit the propriety or necessity of the president's replying to newspaper statements which are not based on any act or authorized word of his and have no sponsor. "I am entirely willing, however, to reply categorically to your telegram of August 19, which has Just arrived and which is as follows: ""I am informed and believe that several members of the New York republican state committee who voted for Vice President Sherman over for mer President Roosevelt as nominee for temporary chairman of the state convention, were- influenced by statements that the vice president's name was presented to defeat Colonel Roosevelt in accordance with your wish. A member of the state committee declared to me before the meeting that Mr. Sherman's candidacy had been arranged with you by telephone the previous day. Efforts have been made to create an impression that you favor a particular candidate for election as state chairman. I want you to know that the injection of the name of a high member of your administration into a factional conflict has produced a most complicated sitution, and the absence of any authoritative information as to your attitude is seriously misleading many republicais and impairing a movement for progressive party leadership and clean government in this state. I know you desire us to have a fair field and hope that this may be made clear to the public Not Against Roosevalt. "The suggestion that I have ever expressed a wish to defeat Mr. Roosevelt for the temporary chairmanship of the convention or have ever taken the slightest step to do so is wholly untrue. "I never heard Mr. Sherman's nam suggested as temporay chairman of the state convention until I saw in the newspapers of August 1$, that he had been selected at the meeting of the committee. "When you called at my house on Saturady evening, August 13, you told me that Mr. Roosevelt Intended to go to the convention as a delegate, and' you suggested incidentally his being made temporary chairman a suggestion in which I acquiesced. It did not occur to me that any one would object to it This was the first time the subject of the temporay chairmanship was ' mentioned to me by any one. Tlgram t 6hrman.

Congressman Victor Murdock of Kansas is speaking in the state of Washington in behalf of Miles Poindexter, the Insurgent candidate for the United States senate.. Gen. George W. Gordon, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, has been renominated for congress by the democrats of the Tenth district of Tennessee. J. O. Terrell of San Antonio, the republican nominee for governor of Texas, has been a lifelong democrat until recently, when he nuit that party and joined the republicans. At the coming November election the citizens of Lexington, Ky., will vote on the proposal to adopt the commission form of government for their city. - - - ' The speech of President Taft at the convention of the League of Republican clubs in New York next month will probably be the only political address he will deliver before election. Some of the republican leaders in Vermont predict that at the state election next month the average off-year plurality of their party may show considerable falling oft on account of the exceptional strength of the democratic candidate. . Though the state election in Kentucky is nearly twelve months distant there are already four announcements for the democratic gubernatorial nomination. Representative Johnson of the Fourth district Mayor Head of Louisville, former Senator McCreary and a Mr. Adams of Harrison county have offered themselves, and it is expected several other aspirants may enter the race within the next few months.

Y.: Please say. to Ward and Woodruff that I have had a long conference. with Griscom. He confirms my Ju ,ment already expressed to you that the whole situa tion in New York may be saved without humiliation to any one and with victory for the party by a full conference with Mr. Roosevelt and reasonable concessions with reference to platform and candidates. " The thing of all others that ought to be avoided Is a controversy In the convention. I am told by Mr. Griscom that such a conference with Mr. Roosevelt might conveniently be had and would be welcomed by him before the state committee meets on Tuesday. Hope you will be able to report a satisfactory solution when you come on Wednesday. William H. Taft.' -Only Root's Name Mentioned. "On the afternoon of Monday, August 15, Mr. Sherman telephoned me from New York, and for the first time apprised me of the fact that there would be a proposal to oppose Mr..

Mr. Loudenslager was pre vented from coming by Illness. . "During the conference with Mn Sherman I told him that I deplored the result of the New York state committee meeting, and unless the break were repaired It meant division between New York republicans and probably defeat.

Mr. Nicholas Longworth was present and said he would send a tel egram to bring about a conference. What the result has been I do not know. Favored No Candidate. "Finally in your telegram received this morning, you state that efforts have been made to create the impres sion that I favor a particular candidate for election as state chairman. This is absolutely untrue. 1 have ex pressed no opinion on the subject since an effort was made last winter by the New York congressional delegation to secure Mr. Woodruff's re tirement which failed. V "I am, very sorry indeed to observe columns of unfounded assertions in the newspapers concerning ray atti tude in respect to the New York situa tion. You know, however, as well as other New York leaders, that when ever, my advice or assistance in reach ing a satisfactory adjustment of the difficulties arising have been sought I have urged the necessity of the fullest conference with Mr. Roosevelt by members of the organization, and, with due deference to honest opinion have ,. expressed the view, which I still entertain, that the solution of the direct primary issue can be found In provisions similar to those of the Cobb bill as amended In accord with the memorial signed by Mr. Seth Low, Mr. Joseph Choate and other prominent republicans of New York City.

Former Governor Durbin Will

Take Stump . (PailaJiam Special) Indiana poUs, Aug. 23. Former Gov ernor Wlnfield T. Durbin of Anderson has tendered to Republican Chairman Lee his services in the campaign after the first day of October. He would get into . the campaign before that date were it not for the fact that his business affairs require his attention up to that date. , This interesting piece of news be came known here yesterday afternoon when Chairman Lee went to Anderson for a conference with Col. Dur bin on political matters. The tender of his services by CoL Durbin was made some time ago, though nothing was said about it When Chairman Lee undertook the plan for the whirlwind campaign of county organization meetings which were held two weeks ago he invited a large number of leading republicans from all over the state to assist in the work. He did not pay any attention to whether they were classed as regulars, standpatters or insurgents. All thought of factionalism was eliminated from the work and the only consideration was to get republicans. Col. Durbin was one of th- men invited to take an active part In the or ganization work, and CoL Durbin told the state chairman that he would be pleased to do anything that he could ' along that of any other line, but that he was so tied up at that time that he could not possibly devote the time to the work. He told Chairman Lee, however, that after the first of October he would be at his disposal for organization work or any other work In the campaign and that he would be glad to render any service he was called on to render. There is no man In the state that more thoroughly - understands the game of organizing for a campaign than Col. Durbin, and his ability in this direction has always been recog nized. There has not been a campaign in Indiana in many years in which he has not been found in the front rank of the republicans working for the -ticket He is as well known as any man in the state. He is prominent in the business world, being one of the successful manufacturers and bankers of Anderson, and one of the leaders in the Indiana Manufacturing Bureau. : Chairman. Lee went to Anderson to have a talk with Col. Durbin yesterday, and spent several hours- with him. He wanted Durbln's advice and counsel on some matters connected with the campaign he said. There was for some time talk to the effect that Col. Durbin would not take part in the . campaign, but this has disappeared, and In it place there ha come to the front the talk about the old party spirit that is manifested throughout the entire rank and file of the party, as well as among the leaders in the state. 1 ' ' Charles G. Sefrit, editor , of the Washington Herald, and one of the keenest politicians in the state, had. something to say along that line while he was in the city a day or two ago. "The organisation meetings which were held in the various counties indicate , plainly that the , republicans are awake to conditions." he said, "and that they are not going to turn over to the democratic party the Indiana legislature this year." "Too much is involved. They have n't forgotten the manner In which the democrats gerrymandered the state for congressional and legislative purposes the last time they had a chance. Consequently, there is just now an abundant show of . the old party discipline, loyalty and fealty. The republican party ha won many a victory on account of its superior discipline, and this distinguishing trait in the party is going to count in this campaign. There was danger that the republicans would lose time in debating among themselves Instead of turning their tongues on the opposition, but they have got well away from that One doesn't hear much now about Insurgents and regular. Tbe bone of contention has been buried. "One especially encouraging sign II the manifest sympathy toward Senator Beveridge among organised labor

Undoubtedly,: these forces will prove an important factor In the election. In quarters in which two years ago the republicans encountered Indifference or open opposition, they are now re ceived with encouragement and good cheer. "The question of temperance 1 not much discussed down our - way. So far as the county option law. is concerned, the people are disposed to consider it for just what it Is now, in its experimental stage. It it proves a success they believe the legislature will not repeal it and if it is a failure public sentiment : will demand Its amendment But the matter is not agitating party politics to any appreciable extent . "By the way, the republican nominee for congress in the Second dis- -trict Stat Senator Oscar E. Bland, has built a fire under Congressman . William E. Cullop that is making Cullop dance as he never danced before. Bland is proving himself a great campaigner. He goes Into the game with the spirit and confidence of youth and his superb organisation is beginning : to tell in every county in the district." Mr. Sefrit's reference to organised labor being lined up for Senator Beveridge and the republican legislative ticket recalls what Samuel Gompers said while he was here a tew days ago. The democratic state committee had made a great deal of noise over the fact that k had invited Gompers to make speeches in Indiana during the campaign and that Gompers had accepted the Invitation. But Gompers said that if he made speeches. in Indiana he would speak in the Interest of labor candidates for the legislature, regardless of whether they were democrats or republicans. , He said that party lines would not hold him, and that his only aim would be to help elect labor men to the legislature. The tact is that labor candidates have ' been nominated by, both parties and It is therefore understood that he will speak for all of them, regardless of party. OLD FOLKS SERVICE (Palladium Kpctal) Milton. Ind., Aug. 23 A good congregation attended the "Old Folks' " service at the M. E. church Sunday morning. The Rev. CV H. Plnnick, pastor, took for his morning lesson a series of Bible quotations referring to old age and 'based his sermon on the thought that God provide for the aged Christian : and ultimately brings him or her into full relationship with himself in heaven. Th choir left the boa and the Old fashioned hymns were sung ' In tbe old fashioned way . by lining, and without the organ. At the close of the services an ; opportunity was given tor the old -people to give testimonial. After a short talk by ta D Roark, 1t waa arranged that Old -Folks day would be observed on the most convenient -Sunday la August . each year. It was to stand as a memorial to the late James Walker who so kindly offered his horse and carriage to-convey the old people of Milton to church on a like occasion in August, 1908, at which time the Rev. J. T. Scull, Sr., was pastor. He not only did that but drove the carriage himself, expressing the pleasure it gave him to do so. Ere the month had passed, Mr. Walker met death la an . accidental manner by falling from a load of straw and being kicked in the head by the horses. - The . evening services were under the auspices of . the . Epworth League. -The service was the pretty but touching "Story of the Pink Rose' with song. . -
