OKLAHOMA
 LANDSLIDE
One of the Alleged Causes
 of the Disaster
The Republican Leaders lOf the State Blame Secr0- tary Taft.

Washington, Sept. 3O.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican.)- Secretary Taft's speech in Oklahoma is held responsible for the crushing defeat of the republican ticket in the new state. This is the view taken by the republican leaders in the state, al- though they are not inclined to ex- press themselves for publication from the fear that they may offend the ad- ministration leaders.
 Up to the time that Secretary Taft came out for the postpOnement of statehood. the republican leaders en- tertained hopes of electing Territorial Governor Frantz. The managers of the republican campaign had avoided any declaration on the statehood question. They realized that the people had been fighting for statehood for over nine years. and were in state of mind to accept almost any sort of a constitu- tion that would bring the territories into the union. But Secretary Taft, accepting the advice of the federal of ficeholders in the territories, proceed ed to attack the oklahoma constitu- ton. and advised that the time of creating -ow state be postponed.
 This position of Secretary Taft. who was recognized as the spokesman of the republican party. not only assured the defeat of the republican candi- date for governor. but lost to the par ty at least one congressman and a majority of the city and county tick cts Naturally the republican leaders and candidates for office under the new constitution are very much in censed at the part which Secretary Taft took in the campaign.
 Secretary Taft's attitude on the statehood question was very unfortun- ate" said former Attorney General Frank & Monnett, of ohio. Mir. Mon nett. as an attorney for the Statehood association. took an important part in the campaign, and has been in Wash ington at the head of a delegation of citizens of the new state. asking that the president issue the statehood proc lamation.
 The republican leaders in the new state were very wisely keeping out of the statehood fight. They Were de- voting their energies to the election of the republican ticket and were very hopeful of carrying the new state.

game for the bleacher athlete. Long runs occur constantly. kicking is fre- quent, and fact, open passing the regular order of attack. The Ameri- can game has nothing that can com- pare with a swift series of brilliant passes down a field or a clever bit of dribbling out of a serum.
 One season of Rugby has softened the resentment against the game as a foreign importation and conclusively demonstrated that os a game it is full ly equal to the old American contest. Rugby is not a "sissy's game" Rug by is not a game for a weakling. It is fully as dangerous a game as the American but not as rough It fur nishes infinitely more excitement. The game Is a thousand per cent more open and the spectator is given more thrills a minute in fast Rugby than in ten in the average grind of the for nations in the battering-ram attack of our own style of game. The game is much more open. Practically every man in the fifteen secures an opportu- nifty to run with the ball. The fame lacks the deadly seriousness of the American game and everybody gets more fun out of it. The men really enjoyed the practice. They were not oppressed with that feeling of terrible weariness that formerly overcame them after every afternoon on the field. Not a member of either team "flunked" his winter examinations. al- though they were unusually severe. It was found that in Rugby. brains must accompany brawn.-Karl A. Bickel in

PLAYERS ARE COMING THE GAME FOR TODAY
esbee Has Secured Seven Profession als From the Western Association Teams.

Manager Goldberg yesterday received another telegram from the Western association players who have been en- gagged to join the Phoenix Browns. stating that they would leave Tuesday for this city and will probably arrive on Friday. The telegram further said that they would probably bring along a good catcher from some of the league teams. There now will be no trouble in securing all the men that will be needed. Some can be obtained from Fl Paso and some from the coast.
 Manager Goldberg will go to Tucson later on and confer with the teams who are to compete in the tournament with regard to the possibility of forming a winter league circuit, with Tucson, Bisbee. Douglas. Globe and Phoenix and possibly Cananea. With the prop CT support from the people at the games an Arizona league Is a possi- bility and would certainly be a great amusement event for the winter sea- son. It is hoped at least to get things in such shape that hy the time Prescott begins to play ball again it can be made go for the summer season.
 In less than two weeks Phoenix will have a new team in good shape. The new pitcher is one of the fastest in the association and the other men all are ranked as good stickers and field CTS. One of the new leaguers will probably be elected captain and coach to whip the nine into shape on team work and to figure out when play be- gins the best batting order and numer- ous details that have to be left to a playing captain.
 Bisbee has seven professionals from western leagues who will strengthen the team at the Tucson tournament. Yuma has been loading up with Cali fornia players and Douglas Is in good shape. Phoenix can not compete un- less the recent rule is eliminated in order to let Phoenix into the game. The proposition of Rinderles team taking a try out at Tucson Is there regarded. as huge joke. says the Citizen. It is not likely they will go since most of the men could not leave their positions for that length of time at this season of the year.
 Today at Eastlake park the Maroons and Athletics will battle for the purse and gate receipts and it should be a scrappy event in base ball history of the town. Dels pitching arm is in good shape and unless some of his team throw the game away he will give the Athletics a hard row to hoe. The Athletics will take a short practice be- fore the game this morning at g o'clock at the park. Rinderle will not benefit much in dollars if his team wins as the individual members will get the money, but he will reap a swath of satisfaction if his colts can carry off the prize rib bon and the dough.

MEN AS STAKES IN
 GAMBLING GAMES.

'I had a peculiar reason for stopping gambling among my walters" said a large restaurant keeper yesterday. "It was not because they took up time from business, but because they shift ed customers so often. Every man of them was a true sport, and they would bet their heads if they could be trans ferred from their shoulders. so when they ran out Of money in card game they bet their best customers. One man. who comes in every day and who gives liberal tips. had different wait CT almost every day. and he complained to me about it. I investigated and found that he was a biz asset of the man "ho waited on him and had been bet back and forth in every game. Other liberal tippers were treated in the same manner. and in order to keep things straight l had to give notice to the walters to cut out the gambling" Record.

POOR LITTLE WIlHELMlNA."
Apparently Pity Should Be Reserved
 for Her Poor Suffering Husband.

The American impression of poor little Wilhelmina covering beneath the brutalities of the man she asked to marry her is extremely curious to those residents of The Hague who understand the sort of disposition for which the house of Orange is celebrated. For Wilhelmina is a true daughter of the house of Orange. The queens mother, the most obedient of parents. has pro- claimed this more than once.
 She is never forgetful of her own immense importance to Holland. When. five years ago, the queen lay on the sickbed from which it seemed certain she could never rise. Her Majesty's physician in ordinary. feeling the pa- tient's pulse, declared that the crisis was Over God" murmured the queen in a faint whisper. "is very merciful to my people," The story may be invent ed, but it is said in German dailies to fit Her Majesty's character like glove.
 A nature of this kind Is not the ma terial out Of which the most subnfis- sive of sDouses can be fashioned Whether. as some French dailies say, Wilhelmina. in virtue of her sovereign rank. had to make the proposal of mar riage to Prince Henry. or whether. as some German dailies tell us, Her Majesty merely sent His Highness word that she was going to marry him. he was speedily involved in the same difficulties of prerogative which tend at times to strain the queens relations with the responsible rulers of her king dom. Wilhelmina has exalted notions of her royal authority. She is said to interfere in a most personal way with the conduct of the Dutch foreign rela-

 they naturally resented the aprar mt effort of the republicans to postpone it."
 A new factor was injected into the contest for the presidential noiaina tion this week by the attack which
 President Gompers of the Anreriostl
 Federation of Labor made upou Sec retarv Taft. Although it has been thought that the labor leaders were not any too friendly to Secretary Taft this is the first open declaration from any of the officers of organized labor In private conversation. President Gompers and the other national labor leaders stated some time ago that at
 the proper time they would make their
 position known. Up to this week 1t was too early for them to make known their attitude toward any of the can didates.
 Now apparently President Gompers
 thinks that the campaign for the re- publican presidential nomination has opened. From this time on MT. Comp
 CTS and the other labor leaders who are located at Washington promise to
 take an active part in the fight. When
 the republican primaries are held in
 Ohio for the selection of delegates to the national convention. labor leaders from all over the country will go into
 the state and openly oppose Secretary
 Taft. More than this, it is said that
 they are apt to take a part in the Cleveland municipal campaign and support Mayor Johnson. Representa- tive Burton and his ticket in Cleve-
 land will be opposed because he has declared for Secretary Taft. and is working for the nomination of the war secretary.
 Representative Bartholdt, chairman of the oublic buildings and grounds committee Of the house of representa- tives. who has been in Washington for
 some time, left for his home in St. Louis this week very hopeful of the
 passage of an omnibus public building
 bill at tke next session of congress. He
 was so confident of being able to se-
 cure a large appropriation for new
 buildings and an extension of old ones
 that he asked the secretary of the treasury to prepare estimates for the
 most worthy projects.
 Dr. Bartholdt insists that a good business policy demands quite a large expenditure on the public buildings of |, the country. The government Is pay i ing rent to private owners in great
 many places where it should own it's
 own buildings. and at other places the federal buildings are entirely made quate fo~ the needs of the gov crnment. Ia 2 number Of cities it Is stated that # the federal buildings were owned by private concerns. they 1 would be condemned by building in i spectors. It .s claimed by Chairman Bartholdt and a number of members
 of the committee that the federal [ buildings have been neglected by con- i gress and that t is time for more lib- eral policies in this direction
 Especially Is this true on account of
 the large surplus in the treasury. In
