VERMONT CAMPAIGN ON
Senator Fairbanks, Republican Vice
Presidential Candidate, Is the
PRINCIPAL Speaker.

White River Junction. VT, Aug. 81
The republican candidate for vice pres
ident. Senator Charles w. Fairbanks,
delivered his first formal speech Of the
campaign here this afternoon. Large
numbers of people from all parts Of
Windsor county and western New
Hampshire We're present. The demon
stration was arranged particularly as
a welcome from the people of Windsor
county to the Indiana senator. whose
father was born within its limits.
After paying a tribute to the citizens
their loyalty and efficient service in
every national emergency, Senator
Fairbanks entered upon an extended
review of the policies of the republican
and democratic parties during the past
twelve years. He pointed out hat UNI
der republican administrations the
country had enjoyed unprecedented
prosperity, while the four years in
which the democrats held the reins Of
government We're years of arrested de-
Nelopment, of panic n distress. with
out parallel in American history. The
senator argued that the republicans'
firm attitude toward the protective tar
if, and the democratic wavering policy
OH that issue. was the reason for the
extreme conditions In the country's
prosperity. Continuing he said:
"One of the uppermost questions in
the present campaign, which is Of far
reaching moment, is, does the admin
istration of President Roosevelt merit
a vote Of confidence This question
confronts us at the very threshold Of
the debate. The president took up the
in the history of the republic. He as
sumed his great responsibilities with
due appreciation of their gravity and
gave assurance to his countrymen that
he would carry out the policies Of his
predecessor. The people were familiar
with them; they We're the policies Of
the republican party. They had brought
the country Unreasonable prosperity,
n they naturally desired their m
~tinuance. He has since administered
our national affairs with conspicuous
ability. He has been ar earnest stu
dent ofthe country's needs. He has been
conscientious and untiring in the dis
charge of great responsibilities. He
has been inspired by but one purpose,
and that has been 20 do we'll the work
committed to his hands. Judged by
my test we MAY apply. the administra-
ton of President Roosevelt has been
eminentiy successful. The last three
years have been years of exceptional
commercial growth, domestic peace and
expanding power.
a in 1892. the democratic party now
d~enouneas protection as the robbery
of the nan to enhance the few and
pledges itself to the overthrow of the
DingleT law. through revision and re-
duction of the tariff. What will be the
result of such a policy? We will find
the most conclusive answer in the four
years OF the last democratic admins
Let the American people take
the democratic platform and the rec
ord of the last democratic administra-
ton in one hand. and the republican
administration during the last three
years in the other, and pronounce their
potential Judgment"

ONE FARE RATE GIVEN
Also Special Trains Will Be Run to tho
Interstate Live stoak Fair Sep
tcmber $40,

One fare rates for the entire week
have been granted by all railroads for
the Interstate Live Stock fair at Sioux
City, September S to 10 inclusive In
addition, special trains will be put on
to allow visitors TO so and come at
convenient hours.
For the live stock exhibit. fourteen
hundred head of cattle. hogs. horses
and sheep are already assured. Being
situated in the finest live stock section
in the United States. this fair will have
the advantage OF the other grand cir
cu!t fairs.
A novel feature on Wednesday, Sep
tember Z. is a ten-mile ralay race.
which will be participated in by 40
horses. the riders changing mounts ev-
cry half mile.
Numerous requests nave been made
for reservations of space for displays
in the agricultural, domestic. poultry.
dairy. apiary. orchard n machinery
exhibits and there is no doubt these
will be much larger than last year..
An important announcement was that
Dare Devil Carlo" will be at the fair
to loop the gap" the most sensational
stunt ever put on by a circus Or car
nival company. Carlo was signed Orgy
two weeks before the fair, and consa-
quently this feature could not be given
the advertising It's Importance deserves.
Carlo rides a bicycle down a steep in
cline, into a complete loop. the top of
which, however, has been removed.
When he reaches this gap, head down.
feet up, he relies upon the terrific mo-
mentum he has acquired to carry him
across the open space to the other side
Of the circle. 1t is unquestionably the
most dangerous feat ever attempted
even in this day of death-defying
stunts.
Scarcely less thrilling is the free
daily performance, in front of the
grand stand, by Diver Johnson, who
dred foot ladder. into a shallow pool
of water. Five other free acts will be
performed daily in front Of the grand
stand, by the Dunbars, recognized
greatest trapeze performers; the OIL
phans. eccentriques; Kins-ners, equi-
libirists: and the funny Trolley car
trio.
By signing a contract for the appear
ance with the air of the Patterson
Brainerd Carnival company, Secretary
Wirick has practically agreed to give
fair visitors a whole show thrown in.
That this carnival company is a whole
show in itself is evidenced by the fact
tina 1T played seventeen days and
nights, exclusively, in the Kansas City
auditorium, the largest in the world.
In addition to the 81 carloads of shows
carried by this company, which will
represent a pike of as high grade as the
one at the st. Louis exposition, this
company will put on four free acts
daily.
Nothing so good in the way of racing
has ever been seen as that engaged for
the Interstate fair this year. This Is
a result of admission of this fair to
the grand circuit. composed only of the
dozen largest fairs in the United States.
There will be 800 horses in "a different
harness M running races.

Statesmen Says Peace May
Come When Japs Reach Hardin.
San Francisco special: Baron Matsu-
daira, member Of the house Of peers Of
Japan and vice president of the Imperial
japanese commission to the st. Louis ex-
position. passed through here on his way
home. In an interview published in the
Chronicle he Is quoted as follows on the
Russo-Japancse war situation:
The true cause Of the present war Is
the eagerness of the Japanese to carry
western civilization into the orient-tnto
Manchuria and into China proper. She
feels 1t her duty to do for tho orient what
America has done for her.
1.-The best way to do this was. she
thought, to open up the ports and other
cities of Manchuria and China proper to
the commerce of the world.
She had no reason to expect a contro-
versy from Russia in accomplishing this
object-she did not eXpect war, but a
peaceable settlement.
The fall Of Port Arthur will probably
not close the war because 1t may not
settle the purpose of the war-lt may not
convince Russia. BY the time. the Rus
slams get to Hardin 1t will be time for
Russia to be convinced that she was
wrong.
I'm case the Japanese win in this war
they will not treat Manchuria according
TO Russian policy. There are many posi-
bilities, but probably she will not make it
q Japanese territory. but will handle it in
accordance Will; the original purpose. The
OF Japan will greatly increase
American oriental commerce."
