District Attorney Believes That the Friendship and Support of Such Democrats Would Be Disgrace to Him.

am opposed to boss rule in politics. am opposed to corporation control of parties through machines and the fact that a boss or a machine declares for me does not alter my attitude in any particular.
 .I am also opposed to the Ryans and BelmOnts and the JeTomes in politics, to the corrupt use of wealth to de- bauch the ballot and to the purchase of puppets in offices. I am opposed to these paid puppets in offices who serve their corporation masters slav- ishly and shameIessly through their whole term of office ana only develop a semi sense of decency and a pre- tended regard for the people when an election is pending.
 The country needs a purifying ln- dependent movement, because the old parties are infested with the Vrarmin Of bosses, cOrruptionists and rascals in office who mouth empty words about civic righteousness while the dollars of their corporation masters are jngling in their pockets.

INDUGEMfNT TO LABOR
 TO EMIGRATE WEST
Low Rates Offered From all Eastern
 Points.

San Francisco, Aug. 21.-Passenger Traffic Manager Fee, of the Southern Pacific company. announces that. in view of the great demand in California for labor to care for the crops and other work that is offering, that com pany has decided to put into effect low rates from all points east. effective Monday, the 27th inst. These rates win be one-way rates.
 From Chicago the fare will S31. from St. Louis $31, from Omaha and Kansas City $25. from New Orleans $31, from points in the Indian territory, Kansas and Nebraska $25, from New York $50, and corresponding rates from other points. They will remain in effect un- til the end of October.
 There never was such a demand for labor in the history of California Thirty thousand men, women and chill dren are needed to gather the immense crops of hops, grapes. prunes and other fruits, and sugar beets. The men in the lumber industry can employ twice the present number in the pine forest of the Sierra Nevadas and the redwood forests of the coast range.
 The railroad companies want 15,00C men for railway construction for al least a years work. In the rebuilding of San Francisco thousands of carpen- ters. bricklayers. plumbers. and. in fact all classes of skilled labor are badly needed.
 The rates will apply to points al over California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Oregon. Government re- clamation work around Truckee, Ne vada: at Klamath, oregon. and a Yuma. Arizona. is attracting much at tention from colOnists.
 The Southern Pacific also announce! that it will at once establish touris excursions in through cars from al important points west of Chicago t' California. running them daily for tht benefit of the people taking advantag' of low rates.

WAVE OF REVOLUTION
 REACHED IFS HEIGHT
It Is Thought that the Cuban Crisis
 Has Been Passed.

Havana. Aug. 21-Indications to- night are that the revolution in west ern Cuba already has practically reached its maximum. The government and people generally, believe the move ment has received about all the ac- cesions it will be likely to gain. The promptness of the government in ar resting suspected leaders and plOtters in Havana and elsewhere and in send ing endorsements to the disturbed districts has had an excellent effect in strengthening public confidence and oVer-aweing sympathizers with the movement.
 On the other hand and notwith- standing the quietude in the Pinar del Rio region throughout the day. the peaceable inhabitants of the cities of Pinar del Rio. Consolacion del Sur, San Juan del Martinez and other west ern towns are in hourly apprehension of the attack and occupation of those places. The fact that probably one thousand insurgents are tending to concentrate in the province of Pinar del Rio upon towns inadequately guarded by small attachments of ru- ral guards mostly inexperienced in warfare makes the situation grave; but as the Insurgents have not assum- ed any strongly offensive attitude or interfered with trains carrying troops horses and supplies, it is inferred that they are not prepared or lack the nerve to try for control of the territory.
 An official of the Western railroad informed the Associated Press tonight that no trouble had been encountered anywhere along the line, which is the mann artery of the province of Pinar del Rio. There have been many ru- mors today of fights at various points in the province of Pinar del Rio. but they have not been confirmed by any government or press dispatches. How ever. night attacks on the city of Pinar del RIo and other towns continue to be regarded as a probability.

THE FIREWORKS
 AWFUL COST
Loss of Lite is Three
 Thousand
The Damage to Property in Valparaiso Reduced to Possibly SIOO,OOO,OOO.

Valparaiso. Aug. 21.-The loss of life by the earthquake of Thursday. Aug 16. probably will not be short of 5000. while the property destroyed is esti- mated at $1O0,0OO. 900, and possibly is far in excess of that sum.
 Order is being maintained with the utmost severity by the military, police and armed citizens patrols who are empowered to shoot looters on the spot. The authorities are showing the utmost energy in the protection of property.
 With the first terrible shock of the earthquake, buildings collapsed their walls falling with tremendous noise. The inmates in many cases were un- able to escape. The shock was followed almost immediately by a fierce storm. the wind prostrating walls that had been weakened by the earthquake. and these broke trolley wires. which flashed necessarily. The second shock was even heavier than the first.
 Five minutes afterward fires started in every direction, and immediately the whole town, which had been momen- tarily in darkness was illuminated by gigantic flames. The firemen made d desperate fight. though there was but little water. as most of the mains had
 
 Victoria theater (Opera hOuse) and the Naval club were utterly destroyed by the earthquake, and the National the ater succumbed to earthquake and fire.
 The Club de Setiembre, the Church La Merced, the buildings of the French fathers, the navy department buildings, the city hall and many other buildings were destroyed by the earthquake.
 The destructiOE by fire. however, was infinitely larger. and probably 60 per cent of the commercial houses were to- tally ruined. Tn Brazil avenue alone nearly thirty blocks of buildings from three to five stories high were de- stroyed.
 The greatest damage occurred in the province of Valparaiso and the prov ince of Aconcagua The town of Abarca suffered severely. Llai Llai is reported to have entirely disappeared, and Limache and Hierro Viejo have been almost totally wrecked. At Vina Del Mar three quarters of the houses are in ruins. The losses in the country are estimated at $50,O00, 900.
 The authorities of Valparaiso have taken over the feeding of the people and provisions are being brought in from places that were not destroyed. Slight earthquake shocks are con- tinuing. The people have not yet re- turned to their homes, but are sleep ing on the surrounding hills and in the

ANOTHER BOOST
 FOR CANNON BOOM
Illinois Has Done Its Best. for the
 Movement.

Springfield, H., Aug. 21-Treasurer of State-John F. Mulski
 Superintendent of Public Instruction Francis G. Blair
 Trustees of State University-Mr Carrie s. Alexander. Fred Hatch. Alex ander McLain, l.. L. Lehman (short term).
 The foregoing ticket was nominated by the republicans of Illinois today in a convention which was marked by harmony and good feeling.
 The presidential boom of Speaker Joseph G. Cannon for 1908. which was launched last week by his own congress sional district. was given an enthusi- astic endorsement by today's conven- tion. The mention of Cannon's name brought the convention to its feet. and there was enthusiastic cheering.
 The convention carried out the will of the people of the state expressed at the primaries few weeks ago, by the unanimous endorsement of Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom for reelection. Out side of the endorsement of Speaker Cannon for president and Senator Gull lom for reelection, there was little of general interest in the convention pro- ceedings. The fight for state treasurer was the most spirited of the conven- ton. but Mir Mulsld won easily on the second ballot.
 The resolutions contain an endorse ment of President Roosevelts admin istration of the Illinois senators and representatives in congress and of the administration of Governor Dineen.

Peoria, Ill., Aug 21.-The democratic state convention today made these nominations: For state treasurer, N L.

Cuneo of Chicago, Miss Clara Borland of Peoria.
 By vote of 1O3S to 57O the conven- of William J. Bryan for the resignation committee. Despite the fact that MT. Bryan had declared that he did not wish to be indorsed unless Sullivan was repudiated. the convention declared him to be the one and only man ca pable of leading the democratic party to victory in 1908 The endorsement of MT. Bryan and the tabiing of the mo tion calling for the resignation of MT. Sullivan came at the close of a most exciting session of the convention, in which there were several fights and throughout which confusion reigned supreme.
 The committee on resolutions de- clined to report a plank calling for the resignation of Sullivan, and the debate followed upon a motion made in the convention by Judge owen Thompson of Jacksonville, calling for Sullivan's resignation. IL had been agreed that each side should have fifteen minutes in which to present it's side of the case, and Judge Thompson was the first ad- vocate of the cause of MT. Bryan. He

AN EPlSTLE
 TO KANSANS
By President Ripley of the
 AtChiSOn
Reminds the People That His Road Has Interest in SunflOWeF State.

Chicago. Aug. 21.-President F. P. Ripley of the AtchisOn, Topeka & Santa Fe today addressed an open let ter to the people of the state of Kansas in answer to communications approv- ing or criticising his conduct of Santa Fe affairs.
 He says the road is worth all it is capitalized for, and, as to taxation, the company will not murmur as long as it's property is assessed in the same proportion of its real value as is the property of private citizens.
 Tt is almost the universal custom in every part of the country" he says, ito transport free of charge, national and I have never thought that I gave the railroads any claim on the con science of the officials. nor have 1 known of any case where a legislator has voted or been expected to vote against his convictions because of holding a pass. There will be no ob- jectiOn on the part of the company to cease issuing passes if the people of Kansas desire this to be done"
 As to the railroad in politics, Presi- dent Ripley says: We have the same interest in good government as any other citizen and the same right to dis- play that interest. As the largest cor poration in the state. and as the largest taxpayer, We have a vital interest in sane and conservative legislation, and when. as has too often been the case, there is danger that the state will be swept off it's feet by an appeal to pas sion and prejudice, made by designing demagogues for their own personal ends # becomes a duty to oppose those men by fair and legal means; and in such cases only will the Santa Fe be found in politics"

allowed his feelings to carry him some what to an extreme. and aroused the hostility of Sullivan's friends by the unsparing manner in which he dwelt upon the last democratic convention at Springfield. He strode up and down the platform. his face white with wrath and his form shaking with the intensity of his feelings. His caustic criticisms finally lost hi mthe ear of the conven- ton, and he might never have been able to conclude his speech if AIr. SuI- livan had not personally requested quiet.
 Sullivan. who followed Thompson. own behalf declared that the ear of Mir Bryan had been poisoned against him. and that the demand for his resig- nation sprang from his personal en- emies.
 Great feeling was displayed on both sides during the debate. and at times personalities of a disagreeable char acter were indulged in by various speakers. The end came on a motion made by Congressman Kern of Beneville that the request for the res ignation of MT. Sullivan be laid upon the table
 The feeling during the roll call on this proposition ran very high. The votes of several counties We're chaI- Ienged. and one delegate from Warren county declared that the vote from that county had been deliberately garbled. When all these difficulties had been strengthened out the vote was declared to be as given above
