BIC ROW
IS NOW ON IN WEST
VIRGINIA
And Taft is Greatly WOr"
ried Over Prospect
Hitchcock Will Take Hold
in Person and Try to
Untangle the Fighting
Factions-Virginia Day
August FL.

Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 3.-Mr. Taft
has fixed August q for Virginia Day
at Hot Springs. His speech on that
occasion will be addressed to the
southern people generally, and will
mark the beginning of an effort on
the part of the Republican national
organization to break into the solid
south.
Mr.. Taft in his speech will urge
upon the southern Republicans, the
necessity of organizing.
Congressman Slemp, the only Re
publican member of the house from
Virginia and s. Brown Allen, a Unit
ed States marshal at Staunton. made
the final arrangements here today
for the meeting. They said that the
railroads had agreed to make special
rates and they had been assured by
the state leaders that between 5000
and 10000 would journey to Hot
Springs TO hear the candidate.
Mr.. Taft will deliver his address
from the veranda of the golf club
house.
When Frank H. Hitchcock gets here
that he will probably have 20 go out
into West Virginia personally, in an
effort to straighten out the Republi-
can row there. In some respects, the
West Virginia situation is the ugliest
that confronts the national chairman.
There are two Republican nominees
for governor over there Charles w.
Swisher is the nominee on the regu-
lar Republican committee. Arnold
c. Scherr bolted the convention be-
cause he thought his delegates had
been unjustly deprived of their seats
by the committee on credentials and
held a convention of his own. AS a
result, two state tickets are in the
field. Until recently however, Mr..
Taft had assurances that the same set
Of presidential electors would be nam
ed by each ticket and that the ma
ttonal ticket would not be affected By
The local fight.
Things have got so far now, that
the Swisher crowd is threatening 10
get out an injunction restraining the
Scherr people from putting the reg
ular Republican electors on their tick
ct. If that is done. the national tick
ct will be jeopardized.
Mr.. Taft is considerably concerned
over the situation. and it is likely
that Hitchcock will be asked to see
what he can dc to bring about peace
between the factions.

INDIANA SPLITS ON
STATE AND NATION
Taft Gets Electoral Vote. but
Democrats Elect Governor.

Indianapolis, Nov. 5.-For the first
time since Thomas A. Hendricks was
elected governor on the Democratic
state ticket and U. s. Grant received
the electoral vote of the state for the
Republican national ticket Indiana has
given plurality to the Republican
candidate for president and at the
same time elected the Democratic
candidate for governor. According to
the latest estimate Mr.. Taft received
q plurality Of about $4,000 and Thorn.
as r. Marshall was victorious over
James E. Watson, Republican candi-
date for governor, by about 5000.
The congressional representation
from this state will probably be seven
Democrats and six Republicans.
The legislature is in doubt. Marion
county, with it's twelve members of
the legislature, went heavily Demo
cratic for the county ticket and car
ried down with it the Republican leg
islntive candidates and possibly Con-
gresham Jesse Overstreet. One of
the Republican leaders conceded that
the lawmaking body is very close, but
he adhered to the opinion that the
lead the Republicans have in the sew
cnteen holdoyer senators will save it
to the Republicans on joint ballot and
insure the reelection of Senator
James A. Hemenway.

SEVERAL OTHERS SPLIT VOTE
Favor Taft for President, but Elect
Democratic Governors.

New York, Nov. 5.-While the elec-
ton Of William H. Taft as president
by large majority of the electoral
vote is an absolute certainty, the re-
suit Is so close in Maryland and West
Virginia as to center attention upon
those states. The latest returns indi-
cate that Bryan has carried West Vir-
ginia and Maryland by small plurali-
ties.
OF the national figures in the field
for governor Hughes was elected in
New York state, Johnson in Minnesota
aud Harmon in Ohio.
The returns showed also that Bryan
had won over his own state of Nebras-
ka. Although Taft carried Indiana,
Ohio and probably Montana all three
of those states appear to have elected
Democratic governors, Judge Harmon
apparently winning in Ohio and Thorn
as r. Marshall in Indiana.
On the other hand, while Bryan car
Red Missouri by a safe margin the
election of Herbert S. Hadley, the Re-
publican candidate for governor, is in
dictated.
The uncertainty also extends to sew
eral of the Legislatures, which will
choose United States senators to fill
vacancies caused by expiration Of
terms, Of which there are thirty-one.
Late advices indicate that Montana,
up to now listed in the Bryan column,
has given Taft a plurality. This would
apparently give Taft 2e4 electoral
votes, and with the possible addition
Of West Virginia seven more.

they KILL DUCKS WITH
CLUBS IN DIES MONIES
W. c. Church Sends Clipping Giving
Account Of Original Method of
- Killing Feathered Game.

w. C.. Church, president of the
Church Lumber company of Des
Moines, Iowa, a gentleman who is
well known in this city, and whose
reputation for truth and veracity is
unquestioned, sends to his friends
here clipping, taken from a Des
Moines paper, in which that thor
oughly reliable publication tells of
ducks and geese beipg; killed with
clubs in the main streets of Des
Moines: as follows:
Nothing more unusual was ever
witnessed in the city of Des Moines
than the killing of many ducks and
geese during the flight of Sunday
night with ordinary clubs picked up
in the streets.
Bert Parrish and Dave Schoon-
over, who live near West Sixteenth
street, got an even dozen birds
which were flying so low that they
became entangled in telephone and
electric wires. AS the ducks fell to
the ground they were beaten to
death with clubs.
Kerry Wilson, Eighth and Forest,
got one goose and two ducks in the
same manner. One of the birds was
,futtering in a mud puddle when Mr..
Wilson attacked it. A number OF
boys in North Des Moines got i'm
on the slaughter and many families
enjoyed roast duck for dinner today.

thing that has never happened in
the city before"
