REAR PLATFORM SPEECHES.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE train bearing
the presidential party from the north
reached Chicago at 24O o'clock this &f-
ternoon. 1t was transferred to the
Michigan Central tracks and left at
once for Michigan points and the east.
AS the train passed through Lake For
est, the Onwentsia golf players sur
rounded the station, cheering Justify.
A short stop was made and President
Mckinley bowed to the throng, but
there was no speaking. When the train
arrived at the Northwestern station
here a guard of policemen was sta
toned alongside the cars. There was
not large gathering of people, as few
apparently knew that the president WAS
TO arrive. President Mckinley did rot
appear, and no speechs were made. A
few friends entered the presidents car
during the wait and greeted him.

ACTIVE CANDIDATES.

! hey Are Marshalling Their Forces
Before the Registrars of Voters.
1t would not have been necessary last
night for a man in search of candidates
for Office, particularly rival candidates for
| the legislature to have engaged the serv-
! ices of a couple of shrewd clever Pinker-
| ton detectives, thoroughly disguised to
/ find them. All he would have to do would
be to call around at the office of the reg
! iStrars of voters, any time between and
| 8 o'clock. There he would have found the
candidates. with lieutenants, busily en-
| gagged in getting names on the voting
! lists.
! In all, there were 1876 names placed on
| the lists last night by the different can
| didates and their chiefs of staff. To date
since the registrars settled down to bust
| ness, adding to the lists of citizens elig-
| ible to vote in the state election, l2l2
| have been registered. This is creditable
| showing and proves an unusual interest
on the part of the voters, or what may
| be more to the point, greater activity on
the part Of the candidates. Wh5n can,
didate wishes an office real bad, he will
sit up nights working for it. Several
! candidates for the legislature in Wor-
| cester are of this kind and the gentlemen
| who drop a lot of bricks into triangle
and mount a ladder have sinecure in
comparison to the hard work Of the Of
| flee seekers.
! Out of the 126 names put on the lists,
40 were those of men that appeared be-
! fore Judge Utley in the central district
court, yesterday each with two witnesses,
held up their right hands, renowned al
| legiance 10 all foreign kings potentates,
emperors, queens, ameers, shahs sultans
and other crowned fakirs, and solemnly
swore to support The constitution of the
! United States even If they had to fight
| for it.
| The contest in ward is no mans picnic
as was proved last night. There were 81
names put on the lists from this ward
alone, the majority of them Swedish
Americans and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES sup
posed to be favorable to the candidacy Of
John G. Hagberg, the republican candit
date.
This claim is denied by the friends of
James F. Ryan, the democratic candi-
date. They say that even if the entire "a
men registered last night were Hagberg-
ties, it would be of no significance. That
number Is but small part of 1912, and
the Ryan forces have not been idle. 1t is
safe to say, they assert, that more demo-
Gratis ahve been registered in ward this
year than for any election for years back.
Mr.. Ryan says confidently that he is
bound to win out.

RoUsING MEETINGS.
Massachusetts Christian Endeavorers
Hold Sway at Springfield.


Hold Sway at Springfield.
Springfield, Mass, Oct. 1.-THE great
audience filed out of the city hall this
evening at the close of the first day of
the fourteenth annual state convention
of the Massachusetts Christian En-
deavor mission, concurring in the opin-
ion thar this is the greatest and already
the most successful convention, ever
held in the state. The perfect weather
brought great influx of delegates who
by nooR Rad arrived to the number of
about 1000.
Rousing meetings took place at inter-
walls all Gay, both at the city hall and
the First Congregational church. The
convention began at 1890 a. m.
Perhaps the address that called forth
the greatest enthusiasm was that of
Rev. w. G. Puddefoot of South Fran
ingham. He spoke upon Beginning at
Jerusalem" He condemned war in
general, and the tendency Of his views
was anti imperialistic.
In the afternoon three Boston speak
ers, John Willis Baer, Mrs. Geol &c W.
Coleman and Rev. Herbert S. Johnson
delivered addresses, which excited
much interest by their spirituality and
William Shaw of Boston conducted an
open parliament There We're four out
door meetings in various parts Of the
city. The singing in the evening was
by a chorus Of 100 people, led by E. S.
Willis. Two anthems of Gounod were
sung, ard a new patriotic hymn. CON-
posed by Rev. C. A. Dickinson, giver a
public rehearsal. This hymn will be
sung tomorrow. 1t was decided that
the next convention will be held at
New Bedford

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
Yale Evidently Preparing for a TussIe
on Saturday.


New Haven, Oct 1.-THE Yale foot
ball eleven, the varsity and college.
practiced this afternoon back of closed
gates for an hour. This was unexpect-
ed, and the large company of students
that went out to the field was taken by
surprise. 1t appears in the light of this
secret practice that Yale anticipates a
stiff game on Saturday, is working up
a lot of trick plays. The varsity and
college sides were given two later trials
of about 10 minutes EACH both of
which were open to the spectators
The varsity eleven has not had such
hard work at any time preceding to-
day during the season. Coach Hikok
was in playing costume, and went into
active playing against Tominson at
guard. Lyman, Phil Stillman, BRINK
Thorne, Billy Bull and head coach
Rodgers were on hand and worked the
men fast, hard and without regard to
the mugginess of the weather Fincke
has been at work hard in the mornings
at leisure hours with Mr.. Bull, and to-
day did remarkably well. He is sure of
the catch, and if he can maintain his
quick return of the ball as well as to-
day he will rival Sharpe. The latter
dropped goal from the 3O-yard line to-
day, while punting against Detpee,
who was on the other side
Inview of the fact that the secret
practice was held it becomes interest
ing to notice who the coachers have
selected apparently as the best set of
eleven men to train into team form.
They were today: Cunha, at centre;
Gordon Brown and Tomlinson, guards;
Hale and Stillman. tackles; Gibson and
Schweppe, ends; Fineke, quarter; Nc
Bride, fullback; Sharpe and Chadwick,
halfbacks; Adams and Keene, backs.
Only Chadwick of the lot named played
today.

AFTER NEW RECORDS.
Russell Intends to Try For New York
Boston Mark.

Bertram E. Russell of Springfield,
who recently reduced the record from
Springfield to Boston and return, will
try to reduce the New York Boston road
record. In consideration of his failure
to reward the riders who paced him
from this city to Boston, it is iniprob-
able that he will get much local aid
in his attempt to lower the Newly ofk
Boston record. When on his last ride
through this city he was given all the
pace that he could desire, but ne failed
to pay the riders, and as a consequence
the men that paced him from this city
to Boston got nothing for their labor.
1t is understood that when Russell
makes his next attempt, he will be
paced by Royal A. Carni of the Century
Cycle Club.
