Notable Campaign Documents That

Situation-Negro Not an Issue.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Chicago, Aug. "A glance at the
makeup of the republican national
committees executive and advisory
committees will show something of the
tact of Chairman Cortelyou in getting
together for the support of Roosevelt
the factions which sought to control
the party machinery after Senator
Hanna's death, and which 1t was
thought for some time might be hard
for Cortelyou to manage. Senator
Scott of West Virginia, one of the odd
guard" is on the executive committee,
and will manage the eastern section
of the speakers bureau. Governor
Murphy of New Jersey has a prom
inent place in the Cortelyou scheme,
and he will do all he can to make his
own state republican. Senator Pen
rose Is also In line. Wherever there
was sore spot, or threat of one,
prompt treatment has been applied
with gratifying results.
Senator Scott is deeply interested
this year in West Virginia, because
the legislature to be elected there In
November will select his successor
If that legislature is republican, he
will succeed himself. Scott feels GER
tain he can carry the state for Roose-
Welt, but whether he can or not, II
is interesting to know that he Is over
his fit of the pouts and ready to &C
to work for republican success al
along the line.
Notable Campaign Documents.
The three most notable documents

were President McKinley's speech anc

notable documents In the 1904 cam

Roosevelt's speech of acceptance, hi
letter of acceptance, which has not We
been written, and the speech Of Elihl
Root, as temporary chairman Of thu

Mr.. Root was scheduled four year

La Crosse. Wis, Aug. s-An unwar-

A sudden glare from the picture machine

Ravenous Hole Filled.

One and half miles west or Long

stubbornly swallowed trainload after
trainload of gravel without showing
any signs of being satiated. A few
years ago attempts at making a filling
were abandoned, but this season VIC
tory has come with persistence. Every
day for two months past worktrains
have dumped soil into this marshy
quicksand with persistence that was
at last too much efSg 1t, and, today the,
hole ii sw hich, Is heretofore has M been
spanned by 8. bridge, lis a solid em-
bankment of earth. The engineers in
charge of the work are not trusting
such a tricky place, however, and it
is daily being carefully watched for

and all trains have orders to slacken
speed and run slowly over it.

Tuesday Evening,

The republican campaign textbook
will be out soon. 1t Will be, 1t Is said,
the most effective weapon of the kind
issued by the party for great while.
Some of the best experts In the coun-
try have contributed to It's pages. 1t

About Jersey and Connecticut.
AS to New Jersey and Connecticut,it
Is believed at national headquarters
here that while they will undoubted-
ly be affected by New York, they are
good deal more reliably republican
this year than New York. The latter
sides claim it, but neither can make
any convincing showing. The situa-
ton Is about this: If New York
should go democratic by a large ma
jority, say by $4,000 or more, Con-
necticut and New Jersey would also
be likely to go democratic ;but II New
York. If democratic at all, Is so by a
margin of less than 10000, which is
entirely possible, the other two
states would not be affected.
With a united party, and the Wall
street opposition story exploded, the
York are improved, and while it is
too early to make claims, 1t Is safe
to say that at this time the repub-
lican chances there seem to be fully
as good as those Of the democrats:
and that Is saying a good deal when
the, situation UP to within the past
few weeks is remembered.
What is the strongest appeal that
can be made to the people of Con-
necticut and New Jersey to support
the republican ticket this year," ]
asked a republican of national repu-
tation at national headquarters today.

tenths Of the labor in those states is
employed by reason of the Dingley

take something more than demo
cratic platform statement to- make
any robbery about the tariff. The
democratic tariff position will be pu
strongly before Connecticut and New
Jersey people as soon as the campaign
opens"
Dryden as Helper.
Senator Dryden of New Jersey, one
of the leading f1nanciers of the coun
try, has Joined hands with Governor
Murphy in an effort to keep New
Jersey in the republican column this
year. AS president of the Prudential

men on Wall street who oppose tn

so, however, is made plain by the New

there were packed and marketed in

In 1896 and 1900 the democrats

NOVEL FEATURES OF G. MS
ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.
Maple Plain and Delano Peculiarly
Affected by Changes How the In
continent Hunger of One Bad Hole
Was satisfied-$s5O,000 Being
Cpart

The Great Northern road has begun
the expenditure of $S50,0c0 in improv-
ing its roadbed along the Willmar d.
vision-the first ninety-two miles of
road extending out from Minneapolis
1T is expected to reduce the cost Of
operating the division 20 per cent.
OF the total amount, $400,0 900 is TO
be spent this summer. The maximum
grade is being reduced from thirty
two feet to the mile, to twenty-one
feet. This necessitates the practical
reconstruction of seventy-f1ve out of
the ninety-two miles Of roadbed in the
division. This changing of grades,
with ballasting, will cost $780, 900.
The work is being done by labor
employed under direction of Great
Northern engineers, none Of it being
Flet by contract. Between six hundred
and seven hundred men are employed,
and this number will be augmented
some two hundred as soon as active
work in ballasting Is begun.
The Willmar division of the road
has always been strip needlessly ex-
was first built grades were made
which, with little more care and
outlay could have been avoided, and
because Of which full-length trains
cannot be hauled by one engine. There
are numerous places on the ninety
| two mile stretch In question, where
ordinary length freight trains have to
be broken and hauled in sections. Yet
the line does not go thru a mountain
Gus, or even hilly country. The en-
gineers are this year devoting their at
tention to reducing the eastbound
traffic grades, as these are the heav-
lest. Next season, the westbound
grades will be reduced, and what bal
lasting is not completed this fall, will
! be done then. rs
The work Of ballasting has already
begun between Minneapolis and Way
zata. The first heavy work is between
Wayzata and Long Lake, extending
over stretch of four miles. Here is
the first demonstration of economy by
the engineer, the hilly portion Is only
half cut away and the low stretch
on either side graded the higher. The
same plan is followed in all grade
changes. By this process, the inn
mense amount Of soil removed from
the cuts, has but a short haul and is
put to practical use. The grade be-
tween Wayzata and Long Lake IS
thirty two feet to the mile. This is
being reduced to the twenty-one foot
maximum. The cut here is five to SIX
/ feet

Negro Not an Issue.

1t is the purpose of the republican
national committee to make no replies
to the southerners who are raising the
race issue this year. The negro isn't
an issue, and the republican party
isn't trying to make him one. If the
southern democrats can derive any
satisfaction from imagining there is
race issue, the republicans will not
disturb them. I am reliably informed
that the so-called negro plank In the
Chicago platform has as much refer
ence to conditions that prevail in Cali
fornia and Massachusetts, and in one
or two other northern states, as to
the colored situation in the south
If 1t is a crime for the republican par
ty to ask if the federal constitution is
