--|~--a8s--- LAFOLLETTE IS CANDIDATE.
Believing in the Strenuous Life He
 Wants the Presidency.

Milwaukee, Wis, September 6-(Special.) ) Having sounded public sentiment" by means of a prolonged tour, on which ne delivered numerous addresses, Senator LaFollette returns to Milwaukee con- vinced that radical tendencies will gov ern in the presidential election next year" and also convinced that a candidate built along LaFollette lines was what the pao- pie wanted.

LaFollette and his DO litical advisors, held in this city immed- lately upon the return of the senator It is understood that the formal announces ment of the senator's candidacy will be made in an address to the people to be issuedc9st an early date. He is expected to deVsfop considerable strength through out the west and northwest, and his rec ord as a tanner of railroads and other big corporations is expected to win him votes in the country at large.

WANT THE GEAR SNUBBED,
Jewish Paper Advises Taft to Pass Up
 the Emperor.


 Cincinnati. O.. September 6.-(Special) J. Secretary of War William H. Taft is urged by the leading Jewish paper of the United States to snub the Czar while passing through Russia in his tour of the old world. The paper in question is the American Israelite, published in this city. which believes that for Secretary Taft to accept the hospitality of the Czar would be to condone "the infamies, the unspeakable atrocities of which the Car is the exponent. and for whose perpetra- tion the world holds him responsible" ," The Israelite says:
 American sympathy is with the Rus sian people in their desperate struggle for liberty, and our administration has no right to appear friendly to the chief of their oppressors. The plea that may be made that Mir. Taft's going to Russia was made unavoidable by his visit to Japan will have no great weight as the necessity, either of his visit to Nippon or of the United States maintaining ami cable relations with Russia under existing conditions are not obvious. The Israellte does not think that Secretary Taft's visit to Russia will add anything to the credit of the administration or tend to enhance the high esteem In which he is so deserv- edly held.'

Temperance Wave Felt Sharply
 al the Capital
HOUSE AFRAID 10 VOTE NO
Senate Has to Decide the Question, So Prohibtionists Will Work on
 That Austere and Re
 spectabIe Body.

Washington September 6.-(Speeial)- That Congress may make dry town out of Washington Is beginning 10 be feared by liquor interests in the Capital City. The great temperance wave which has been sweeping over the country for the past two years is bound to have an echo in Washington and it is already apparent that temperance advocates in and out Of Congress propose to carry on an active campaign this winter to suppress the sale of liquor in the District of Columbia
 There are not twenty members m the house who would have the temerity to vote against such bill, and if Speaker Cannon allows 1t to be voted upon, it's passage through the lower branch of Con- gross is assured. In the Senate the situ- alton is. of course, different. and it is upon this body that the temperance ad- vocates intend devotng most of their at- tention in the hope of forcing a vote.

Advantage of Japan.

As far as the Atlantic coast is con cerned the transfer of the battleships to the Pacific renders our ports as de- fenseless as if the entire fleet had been sunk. If Japan were in a state of mind for war and so situated as to under take 1t, we would be placed more nearly
 at her mercy by this Pacific enterprise than could be possible under almost any other condition. Briefly the situation will be this: The Atlantic coast will be
 practically without naval protection;
 our great battleships will lie at re-
 mote point in the Pacific, crippled by their long cruise, without adequate coaling facilities. and an effective
 Japanese fleet, in trim condition, with
 ample opportunity to dock and coal,
 will lie within comparatively easy
 reach of New York with nothing to block its way and no reason to Tear be-
 ing overtaken by our incapacitated
 fleet giving chase three or four thous-
 and miles behind.

LOS of Life and Money is
 Very Likely ts Occur
CYAL SHIPMENTS DELAYED
:ople In the Northwest Will Suffer Most If Car Shortage Ensues, But the South and Southwest
 Will Also Suffer.

l 1 Washington. September 6.-Franlklin K. l-ane of the interstate commerce eommis- sion has left Washington for a trip to
 the northwest for the purpose of extend ling government cooperation to the rail roads in an effort to prevent a repetition of the car shortage which caused great suffering. los sof life and money last winter, when North Dakota, Minnesota and other northwestern states were blizzard bound, the railroads being unable
 to supply coal at scores of small towns
 and villages where it was needed or to provide cars in sufficient number to carry to market the wheat crop. As a result
 the remarkable spectacle was presented of ] unharvested wheat fields covered with snow.
 A serious situation now confronts the railroads not only in the northwest, but ! In the south as we'll In the northwest 1 the danger lies in fuel famine if the l retail dealers in small towns do not lay in a libral coal supply this fall. The rail-
 way officials say they can handle all , necessary coal shipments now if small dealers order them. But they cannot
 promise as much after snow falls and
 blizzards set In. The more cars of coal
 shipped to the northwest now the greater number of cars there will be for the ship
 ment eastward of harvested wheat l Secretary Wilson Of the department of l agriculture recently returned from a tour of the country apprehenslve of a car l shortage. He said that the people of Hthe northwest were not in many instances i able to buy coal long in advance of the l winter season.
 l Commissioner Lane will go first to St. Paul, then to Spokane and later to se-
 attle, Portland and San Francisco. He
 will eonfer with railway officials at
 these points and will ask them in what
 way the interstate commerce commission
 can cooperate to prevent distress. l Acting upon advice from the interstate | commerce commission, President Roose- l velt several months ago directed that l the government make all it's shipments of coal and supplies to the Pacific Coast at an early date.
 Complaints have come to the commerce commission from the south that there
 are not enough cars available for trans portation northward of the great cut of lumber in Louisiana and Mississippi this season A corresponding difficulty is ex- . peeted to arrive when the time comes for | the movement of the cotton crop south to the porth of Galveston and New Orleans MT. Lane will probably visit these ports to lend his good offices to railways and shippers alike
 i IL is doubtful if the commission in any
 way can go further than to use it's moral i influence to avert car famine.
