MILLS NOT TO OPPOSE BAILEY
Opponents of Senator, However, May
Put Up Old Rival

Dallas, Texas-There is no ground
for the rumor that former United
States Senator Roger @. Mills is
candidate for United States senator
to succeed J. w. Bailey. Mr.. Mills,
old and very feeble, is living in re-
tirement on his farm near Corsicana,
and for eight years has been entirely
out of politics.
The anti-Bailey issue was not in
volved in the election. The state con-
vention in Dallas on August Is unani-
mously nominated Bailey as the dem
ocratic candidate for United States
senator and the party members Of the
legislature were instructed to vote for
him. He was also indorsed in the
state platform. Bailey's friends are
confident he will receive the full party
vote Petitions, however, are being
circulated for SIGNATURES asking the
legislature to defeat Bailey. No can
didate has yet been agreed upon to
oppose him, but the feeling is general
that if one is finally taken up by the
anti-Bailev opposition he will be Ho-
race Chiffon of Dallas, whom Bailey
defeated six years ago.

Petersburg, and several others in
large cities throughout the empire.
The University of Warsaw on the
other side. will be closed forever, and
Polish students will have to go else
where to pursue their studies.

establishment there of absolute free
trade. If the time is not ripe for that,
the least that it demands is ample

Ter of the western plains his lumber

less tariff now permits monopoly to
impose. From this as a beginning
work may go forward toward larger
liberty by an enlargement of markets
and progress of public sentiment

BRYAN IS OPTIMISTIC
He Reviews the Election ard Sees
Cause for Democratic Hopes
in 1908

III IOOo
Commenting on the results of the
recent election, w. J. Bryan gets con-
siderable satisfaction in viewing the
outcome from a democratic stand
point. He regrets the defeat of w.
r. Hearst in New York, but cannot
see wherein President Roosevelt can
find any comfort in the vote of the
Empire state. Mr.. Bryan says the
presidents personal attack on Mr..
Hearst was in very bad taste, and he
insists that the attack did not favor
ably impress the public. 81
Particularly gratifying to the demo-
cratic heart, says Mr.. Bryan Is the re-
turn of Missouri to the democratic
fold The result in Nebraska, while
somewhat disappointing in some re-
spects, gives ground for hope.
The election of 1906 indicates a
trend in favor of the democratic party,
The details will be found elsewhere,
but they prove that the democratic
party is growing stronger as repnbli-
can policies are developed. In New
York the party has won signal vic
tory in spite of the tremendous efforts
put forth in behalf of the administra-
ton. The republicans had all the sup
port of all the great corporations, and
at the close they had whatever influ-
ence the administration could lend.
The fact that the democratic elected
every state officer excepting the gov
ernor shows that in the Empire state
the republican party has been repud-
lated. The defeat of Mr.. HearstNthe
democratic and Independent candidate
for governor, while great disappoint-
ment to his friends and to the party,
is explained by facts which rob Mr..
Hughes victory of both glory and
political significance. Mr. McCarren,
whom Mr.. Hearst denounced as boss
threw his influence to Hughes and cut
down Mr.. Hearsts vote in Brooklyn.
Mayor Mcclellan, the legality of whose
election Mr.. Hearst had denied, used
his influence for Mr.. Hughes and cut
down the Hearst vote in New York.
Mr.. Jerome. the prosecuting attorney
of New York, who had also been at
tackled by Mr.. Hearst, supported the
republican ticket, and his influence
was felt in Greater New York. Mr..
Croker, during the last days of the
cempaign, made an attack upon Mr..
Hearst which doubtless weakened the
democratic candidate among the Tam
manvites. Mr. Murphy, the head of
Tammany, while supporting the ticket,
could not put much enthusiasm into
the campaien, owing to the personal
which he had had with
Mr.. Hearst 1t Is evident, therefore.
that Mr.. Hughes owes his victory not
TO republican votes but to democratic
votes brought to him by the very
men whom he and the republican lead
ers have been denouncing for year.

Canada and Would Construct

iNCW 0tiCduS
Chicago-James ]. Hill was the
guest of honor at the banquet of the
Merchants club Saturday night and
delivered an extended address upon
"Chicago's Interest in Reciprocity
with Canada"
Mr.. Hill was introduced to his audi
tors by Charles D. Norton, president
of the club, who said that Chicago
in it's history had survived two great
calamities, the first being the great
Chicago fire, and the other the fact
that James ]. Hill passed the city with
out stopping when he went to make
his home in the northwest
After outlining the commercial
greatness of Chicago and giving some
of the reasons therefor, Mr. Hill said;
To-day the entire country is suffer
ing from want of transportation IA
cilities to move it's business without
( unreasonable delay. The prevailing
idea with the public is that the rail-
ways are short of cars, while the facts
are that the shortage is in tracks and
terminals to -providte greater op-
portunity for the movement of cars"
. The speaker declared the country
today faced transportation problem

penditure of enormous sums of money
will remedy. He asserted that there
is a crying need now for the construc-
tion of fifteen foot canal between St
Louis and New Orleans, and he said
that the necessity for this would in
crease with time. There is no more
important general work for the gov
ernment to perform, he said, than to
construct canal capable of carrying
vessels of fifteen feet draft.
Mr.. Hill recited figures showing that
the trade with the people. whom the
United States will be able to reach by
amounts to only about $54,500,000 an
nually, while our trade with Canada
is over $200,000,000 per annum. He
asserted that the conversation and IN
crease of this trade is of greater i'm
portance than anything that will ac-
crue to the United States because of
Z the construction of the canal.
Concerning reciprocity with Canada,
Mr.. Hill said:
'sThe plea for more liberal trade re-
1ations is negatived only by unreason-
ing individual selfishness. The con-
elusive argument for reciprocity with
Canada always has been and must be
the experience of several American
states. Had it not been prohibi ed
by the constitution. each state of the
union would have levied duty on all
commerce crossing it's boundaries. Yet
all acknowledge now that one great
factor in the DEVELOPMENT of the Uni-
ted States has been the commercial
elimination of state lines. Unrestrict-
