Action of Republican C0nVen-
 tion NH Aid Democrats
COWHERO IS WELL PLEASED
Says He Feels No Doubt Now That New York Will Be Easily In the Democratic
 Column.
BY wATrERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington. September 16-tspecial.)- The New York republicans had pretty good chance to give their electoral ticket a much needed boost at the state con- vention but instead of this they have nominated odelrs man Higgins and the state is about as safely democratic as it could be six weeks before an election.
 Old man Platt has been completely shelved, his friends are mad. the Odell machine has conceded nothing to pow erful faction, and the republican papers are doing the rest. The New York Sun, which is supporting Roosevelt, is against Higgins. The New York Press is out again1l the nominee for lieutenant gov ernor, and the Wall Street Journal has also come out against the republican candidate for governor. The poor old New York Tribune is the only paper left In New York which can stand the re- publican party from top to bottom. From a democratic standpoint, the sit uation is improving. Judge Parkers visit to New York and the announcement that Senator German of Maryiand is to remain in New York and be at the side of the national committee during the rest of the campaign has pulled up democratic pros- poets good deal in the last twenty-four hours.
 Favors the Democrats.
 Wearing Odells tag will just about queer the new republican nominee for governor of New York" said Chairman Cowherd of the demccrs tic congressional committee today.
 we feel no doubt whatever as to the result The democrats are sure to carry New York any way and the action of this last convention is going 10 strengthen our chances all the more Odell may have shown the strength of his control of the machine but outside of that he didn't improve his standing. We are not at all disappointed over the result of the convention"
 Similar views concerning the action of the New York republican convention In nominating Higgins for governor werel expressed by other officials at the dem ocratic congressional headquarters The opinion was expressed that democratic chances in New York were favored by l Higgins nomination..

Nine More Indictments.

Nine new indictments were returned to- night by the grand jury and against peo- pie in connection with the lynching, and 1t is believed they will be served tomor row if the parties can be found. It is also understood otter indictments will be found tomorrow Rumor has 1t the in- dictments returned tonight are against some men of prominence, and that when they are arrested a surprise will be sprung.
 There had been great delay in serving the warrants so far sworn out and 1t is being talked about the city that the information had been conveyed to all the parties implicated in these indictments with felonies and that they have been given ample time to leave the city. Whether or not this Is true, only two of the first ten warrants have been served and it Is generally believed that the oth- CT eight persons named in the warrants have left the city. Sheriff Rogers has stated that he was unable to find them. It seems that some unnecessary delay has occurred in the service of warrants, and finally the military took the matter in it's hands and served the papers on Rig gins. Capt. Lucian Brown has commun- icated with Governor Cunningham in regard to taking this step and the gov ernor has again given him full power to act. Madison county is short about one hundred or one hundred and fifty citf- zens as a result of the action of Judge Speake and Solicitor Pettus. People who had any connection at all with the mob or with the lynching have left the county and many of them have received intima- tions that they had better leave.
 The delay in the execution of papers aid- ed to some extent these people in getting out of the city.

CANNON DEFENDS
 THE PRESIDENT Asks Whether Parker Will Re-
 duce Navy if Elected MlLITARISM IS A BOGYMAN  Says Five Southern States With 37 Representatives Cast Fewer Votes Than Four Congressional Dis
 tricts In Indiana.
MILITARlSM IS A BOGYMAN

Terre Haute September 16.-"And so this President of ours is Caesar, a dangerous man who wants to kill you. both where you are, and where you ain't?'' exclaimed Speaker Cannon in his discussion here tonight or the record of President Roosevelt, in connection with militarism, the coast defences and the in- crease in the navy.
 The speaker arrived nere at o'clock in company with Congressman Hemen- way, and tonight addressed a large aud fence at the Coliseum.
 Militaryism he pronounced a veritabe bogyman. The President had, he de- clared, done nothing worse in the way of Caesarism than reduce the army from 100000 to 5000, and in view of the fact that this number gives only about one soldier to each 400 people in the country, he did not consider the outlook dangerous in that urection. Referring to the coast dc ences, he said that the Spanish war had demonstrated their necessity
 Concerning the navy Of the United stejtes, he recalled the fact that Terre 5aute had been the home of Secretary Thompson and said:
 Concerning the Navy.
 They say we are extravagant. We spent between sSoOOo,OoO and s4O.OOO,O00 a year under Cleve.ana, ana he was sup posed to be economical. our appropria- tions this year for the navy are about sl02 100000. Do you know that a good navy for the United States is the most economical thing that we can have? It is equivalent to bond of faith for peace, because If we have a navy that can pro- tect our coast line, it l.rengthens our di- plomacy.
 "The fact that we have SO 900 people; the fact that we are the richest country on earth; the fact that we make one third of the products of the earth. and the facs that we have this navy and that it is growing, strengthens cur diplomacy. l would like MT. Parker to rise in his place and say whether if he is President, he will favor a policy that will dismartle the navy and discontinue further con- struction. If he does, the loyal and in- telligent people of our country would trample upon him. If he does not mean to do that, what Is he talking about ex- travagance for?"
 Southern Representation.
 MT. Canhon also spoke of the tariff. and referring to the southern states said that those states while they represent only about one-sixth of the wealth of the coun- try, would control it's fiscal and economic policies. He also referred to the discrep- ancy in the southern vote as compared with that of the north, and said that the five states of Arkansas, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi, with thirty-seven members of the house of rep resentatives, cast only 166.00G votes, wnile four congressional districts in Indiana oa of 1Q1 n0n xrotar
