At this time it is impossible to say
exactly when the strike will terminate,
but after careful inquiry into the situa-

the struggle will end by agreement The
wage earners and the general public
are generously contributing to the aid

aid be extended and continued
IF the manhood of the miners is to be
maintained they must at least have

Eldora, Ia, chairman of the notification
COMMITTEES:
MY Dear Sir:-I have never answer
ed the kind notice communicated by
you and your associates advising me Of
my nomination for the eleventh time by
reclamation as Republican candidate
for congress for the Third congressional
district of Iowa Reported conditions in
the public mind in my district upon
public policies induced me to take this
delay. Since my return to the district
I have made careful study as to the
sentiment In the district and state, and
I believe that there is no little sentf-
ment, and a growing sentiment, among
Republicans that do not truly repre-
sent their views on the tariff question
Believing this condition to exist and
knowing that do not agree with many
of my people that the trusts, to which
am and have been opposed, cannot be
curbed or the people benefited by free
trade in whole or in part. must decline
to accept the nomination so generously
and enthusiastically made. 1 have de-
voted twenty of the best years of my
life to the service of my people and my
country, and have fought for what 7
believed to be best for the farmer the
laborer and the business interests OF
this district and state. I am grateful

BY CLOSE VOTE
President Roosevelt Is Declared
Alabama's Choice in 1904.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 17.-When the
Republican state convention reassem-
bled today it was evident that there
would be a fight on the present plat
form endorsing President Roosevelt for
a denomination. This opposition is un-
derstood to have its origin in the action
of the president in removing VIM.
Vaughn. retiring Republican state
chairman. from the Office of district at
torney for northern Alabama. for al
legged neglect of duty. There was also
feeling of opposition to the clause in
the platform condemning child labor in
cotton mills. AS soon as Chairman
Davidson called the convention to order
the platform and resolutions as reported
by the committee were read and when
that part of it endorsing President
Roosevelt for the nomination in 1904 was
reached there were loud cries of mo,
no.
The platform as reported reaffirms the
Philadelphia platform, favOrs the or
ganization of labor for it's legitimate
protection and the enactment of laws
for the peaceable and fair settlement
by arbitration of disagreements as they
may arise between organized capital
and labor. favors child labor legisla-
ton regulating the work in cotton
mills; condemns the spirit which seeks
to arouse prejudice of the people against
the railroads., anu advocates Inc eIldcl-
ment of laws SO regulating the rail-
roads as to adequately protect the in
terests of the people, but is opposed to
any drastic measures"
The platform then endorses the wis
dom of the Dingley tariff law and urges
continuance of that policy. Republi-
can legislation to build an interoceanic
canal is approved. The bravery and
heroism of our soldiers and sailors in
the Philippines" are applauded and the
attacks of the Democratic party on
them is condemned A high tribute is
paid to the late President Mckinley.
The platform then expresses confidence
in the administration of President
Roosevelt and says:
I'VE express our faith in his thor
oughly American and patriotic ideas
and we believe that his leadership
establishes both confidence in the sue
cess of the Republican principles and
the continued prosperity and progress
of the country and we therefore favor
his denomination to the great Office he
fills with patriotism any ability"
After the reading of the platform J.
A. w. Smith of Birmingham, offered a
port except that it omitted all refer
ence to an endorsement of President
Roosevelt for denomination. The sub
stitute was vigorously debated and the
convention was thrown into turmoil.
Some of the speakers upheld the sub
stitute, declaring it was too early to
speak out on the campaign of 1904
while others charged that effort was be-
ing made to knife a Republican Dresi-
dent. Finally the roll was called and
the substitute was defeated, 1873 to LAG.

HOPEFUL DEMOCRATS.
Believe They Can Elect Ticket IN Del
aware This Year.

Dover, Del, Sept. 1.-THE Demo-

following tickete:
Representative in Congress-Henry A.
Houston.
State Treasurer-Joseph H. Hossinger.
Auditor of Accounts. Thomas Lowe.
The contest hinged on the nomination
for congress, Houston defeating ex-
Congressman L. Irving Handy by a ma
jority of two votes. Because of the
split in the Republican ranks the DEM
ocratfc leaders claim to be able to elect
their congressional candidate in No
vember, and consequently there was a
scramble for the nomination. Each of
the three counties in the state had sew
