WARM FIGHT IN CLEVELAND
BURToN.JoHNsoN CONTEST FOR
MAYoRALTY TO BE LIVELY.
Roosevelt, Taft and Bryan May Speak
During the Campaign-Result
in Doubt. #a@

Cleveland, O., Sept. 10.-The contest
between Mayor Tom L. johnson and
Congressman Theodore E.. Burton, as
the Democratic and Republican noml'
nees, respectively, for mayor OF Cleve-
land, promises to be the most exciting
political event in the history OF this
city, not excepting campaigns some
years ago in which the late Senator
Hanna was the central figure.
The Endorsement Of Mr.. Burton's
candidacy by President Roosevelt and
Secretary Of War Taft, it is said, may
be followed by speeches here by both
later on in the campaign. The presi-
dent is to start from Cleveland on the
coming trip of the inland waterways
commission on it's tour of inspection
and investigation on the Great Lakes
and down the Mississippi river, and
Republican leaders believe that while
here he may be- induced to make a
speech urging Burton's election.
The Democratic executive commit
tee has called the city convention, at
which Mayor Johnson and the ticket
with him is to be named, for Septem'
Der 10. Mayor Johnson has declined
to discuss the matter since the an.
nouncement of Burton as candidate,
but it is said he has assurances that
w. ]. Bryan and other leading Demo.
Gratis from various parts of the coun'
try will come here to make speeches
in his behalf.
Cleveland is regarded as a normally
Republican city by from 1000 to 10000
majority in national elections, and up
to the advent of Mayor Johnson six
years ago the Republicans had ruled
the city and county for years with the
exception of isolated cases, such as
the election Of Mayor Farley, follow
ing the defeat of the McKisson ad-
ministration.
In selecting Mr.. Burton to oppose
Mayor Johnson, the Democratic lead
ers admit that the Republicans have
put forward their strongest man, and
while they claim Johnson will win,
they concede privately that it is any.
body's race. It was Burton who de-
feated Johnson after the latter had
served two terms in congress. Since
that campaign Mr.. Burton has con
tinued to represent the district in con
gress.
Mr.. Burton's political managers as
sert that his probable candidacy for
the seat of Senator Foraker is no way
affected by his race for mayor, and
that he will retain his seat in congress
and the Craftsmanship of the rivers
and harbors committee at least unit,
after the mayoralty election.

another DYNAMITE
BLAST IN CHICAGO.
NINTH EXPLOSION IN SIX WEEKS
DEEPENs MYSTERY AND
PUZZLES POLICE,
CONCLUSION SHAKES
ORPHEUM THEATRE
Hundreds of Persons in Adjoining
Playhouse Rush. to Street -Au-
thorities Suspect Plot and Think
Gamblers Are Responsible.

Chicago, Sept. 10.-Another suppos-
ed dynamite outrage, the explosion at
the new Orpheum theater, ITS State
street, is credited by the police to
the men who have been terrorizing
Chicago with similar explosions the
last six weeks, during which time nine
places have been dynamited in the
city.
Detectives at work on the case said
Monday they believed the latest at
tack was intended for Tom McGinnis,
whose saloon is at 208 State street
and on the same side Of the street.
Detectives Placed on Guard.
Threats were made against McGin-
mis- some time ago, and day and night
his home and place Of business were
guarded by detectives.
Deep mystery surrounds the cause
of the explosion and a dozen detec-
tives are at work in an effort to de-
termine whether it was one of the
many outrages perpetrated by the
dynamiters. The conclusion was so
severe it was felt for several blocks.
City Is Investigating.
Lieut.. Morgan Collins and detec-
tives from the Central police station
went to the theater for a thorough
investigation.
There were no indications as to
what caused the explosion. The gas
pipes and meters were carefully ex-
amined but appeared to be intact.
Three hundred persons were in an ad-
joining structure, the Bijou Dream,
ITS State street, at the time Of the
blast
Serious Panic Averted.
A rush for the street was started,
but Sigmund Faller, the manager,
averted serious panic. When the
explosiin occurred Lieut. Collins was
standing at State and Monroe streets
and was almost thrown from his feet.
He was among the first to reach the
playhouse, and with several watch
men went from the basement to the
Top floor of the five-story building, but
nowhere did they find anything to ex-
plain the shock.

the world, as it goes up and down the mountain
