publican candidate for president at

cred there to bid him welcome to the
state, at 8 o'clock. His voice, which
had troubled him considerably during
the trip through Wisconsin yester-
day, was in much better shape this

smiling when he stepped upon the
platform to deliver his first address
to the. people of Iowa.
Governor Cummins headed the COM
mtttee of escort, which also had as q
member John f. Lacey, who is the
governors opponent for the senate,

and Kennedy, B. F. Carroll, nominee
for governor, and q number Of local
leaders.
After leaving Clinton, the special

pella, Burlington, Ottumwa and Des-
Moines. There have never been such
crowds In the state as listened to the
republican candidate at every point In

been one tremendous and enthusiastic
triumphal party procession. II Mr..
TAFT had any doubt about the alle-
glance Of the west to his cause. and
any question about the loyalty Of L.

The mission of Tank shao vi is re-

is being regarded with great interest
by some of the European powers in

The dowager empress received
Tang Shao VI in farewell audience
last Monday. Previous to this he was
decorated with the order of the Dou-

Tang Shao VI has been given plen-

honors conferred, indicate the import
ance attached by the dowager en-
press and Grand Councillor Yuan Shai
Kai to his mission. Tang Shao VI
will study the financial, industrial and
political conditions In the countries
he visits. giving particular attention
to international relations and his re-
ports will be used to elaborate the
reforms promised the people of China
under the new constitution. A sum
equal to that set aside for the en-
tertainment of the American fleet in
Chinese waters has been given him
to meet the expenses Of this mission
There is reason to believe that after
Tang Shao Yi's return from this trip
he will be made minister of finance
Of the empire.
The mission will spend fortnight
in Shanghai, and three weeks in
Japan, where Tang Shao vi will con-

GIRLS AID CHAMP CLARK
The Pike County Man Makes Unique
Bid for Votes.

st. Louis, Sept. 25.-A new scheme
for getting votes that comes from
Champ Clark's district has set the
state candidates and campaign man
ayers Of both parties talking The
only fact upon which all agree is that
1t shows that Clark Is alarmed.
Ever since 1894, when singing
school teacher beat him by ninety
one votes, Champ Clark has kept his
ears to the ground before each elec-
ton, and when conditions were dis
couraging he has been ION the job"
early and late until election. But
he never went SO far before as this
time
This years scheme is to interest
the unmarried young women in his
district in working early and late
in his behalf by offering 5000 in purs-
es for the most successful promise
getter.
The sample received here OF the
cards used is for Pike county, and it
is understood that the same arrange
ment will apply to each of the nine
counties in Clark's district. II it does
the young women will earn in the ag-
gregate Of $1,S00 in that district, and
there Is no telling how many candi-
dates will adopt the same scheme.
Five Prizes are Offered.
The prizes for the Pike county girls
are:
First premium, 500: second pre-
MUM, $50; third premium, s?5;
fourth premium, SIS; fifth premium,
$40.
The conditions are that each
young woman must induce as many
men as possible to sign card, which
reads:
Il pledge my word and honor that
will vote for Champ Clark and the
balance of the Democratic ticket,
November 8, 1908"
This must be dated, signed and
must have the postoff1ce address and
precinct Of the signer, also the name
and address Of the young woman Sc
curing the pledge. g.
A notable feature of this card is
that Champ Clark's name is in very
large capitals while the "balance of
the Democratic ticket" is in very or
binary type. There is nothing to pre-
vent the voter from scratching out
everything after Champ Clark's name,
and there is a hint that this will not
be unexpected in this explanation on
the back of the card, which says that
all regular voters, whether Democrats
or Republicans, who sign this pledge
will count.
Effective in the Country.
The contest will close the day be-
fore the election and all the cards
must be sent to Ed. A. Glenn at Lou
isiana, Mo. Mr.. Glenn was Dave
Balls campaign manager and it may
have been because he knew the dan
gers ahead that this unique scheme
was adopted.
Only those who have lived in the
country know the full meaning of this
method OF campaign schemes. A vii
lage belle in country neighborhood
entered into contest where 500 is
the prize can produce wonderful re-
suits If she plays the game, and most
of them know how to do. The young
man who is voting this year for the
first time is in the most serious dan
ger. OF course, the heads of families
and the older men are in less danger,
but man at Republican headquarters
who doesn't belong to the first voter
class said seriously enough:
II am glad Champ Clark didn't in
clude the willows"

SOCIALISTS LOSING

A comparison Of the socialist
vote cast in Graham County IN
1906 and 1908 is clear indication
that the people have got tired OF
the thing and that the socialist
party is rapidly going to the same
place the populist party landed
In 1906 the socialist candidate Tor
delegate to congress received zoo
votes, in 1908 he received l69
votes; the candidate for the council
received 344 votes in 1906 and l52
in 1908; the candidates for repre-.
sentatives received 3l4 and 2s9
votes in 1906 as against l79 and
l66 in 1906; the candidate for pro-
bate Judge received S3s votes IN
1906 and 1877 in 1908; the candidate
for sheriff received 225 votes in
1906, while 10 1908 he received
1876; the candidate for treasurer re
ceived 277 votes IN 1906 and l7O
in 1908; the candidate for recorder
received 227 votes in 1906, and
1853 in 1908; the candidate for sur
veyor received 284 votes iu 1906,
and l61 in 1908; the candidate for
superintendent of schools received
2S4 votes in 1906 and ITO in 1908;
candidates for supervisors received
4SS and 273 votes in 1906, while
in 1908 they received 1913 and 1856.
When party loses almost one
half OF it's votes, it cannot be at
tributed 10 accident, and it must
be said that the candidates of 1908
were just as good men as those OF
1906, 10 fact several of the same
men were candidates both years.
Nor can it be charged to falling
off in the total vote cast, for in
1906 there were but 1924 votes
cast for the head Of the ticket,
while in 1908 u total vote of 1888
was cast for the head of the ticket.
Returns show that heavy falling
off occurred in the socialist party
throughout the nation.
