RELIGION A VITAL ISSUE.
1t Will Cost Taft the Votes Of Many
Republicans.

Cincinnati, O., Oct. 90. The religious
issue of this campaign Is no mirage to
be seen only from the next county. It
may be more than offset BY other forces
which it sets into motion; such a posi-
billy is another matter. But that Mr..
Taft will lose great many votes of
lifelong Republicans because of his de-
fective religious status is indisputable.
The minister OF the Presbyterian church
of which Charles p Taft is trustee
and Mrs. Charles r. Taft member and
to which she pays 5000 pew tax, has
publicly announced that he will vote
for Bryan, although never having before
supported a Democrat. Before the nomi.
nations were made, when it seemed in.
eyitable that Taft and Bryan were to
be the candidates, this minister. whose
name Is Robert Watson, declared from
his pulpit on Sunday morning that Id
did not see how Christian people could
do otherwise than vote for BRYAN. in
preference to man who rejected the
divinity Of the Lord Jesus Christ. and
whose public life was not. according ia
DIR. Watson, in harmony with Christian
principles. This was striking very close
at home. Everybody knows that Charles
?. Taft, a half-brnther of the candidate
has been an exceedingly important factor
in recent political events His resources
which are very ample, went far to finance
the Taft campaign for the nomination.
His position as proprietor Of leading
Republican newspaper had much to do
with the political preferment which be-

period each application was sealed and

COURT TO PASS ON
NOVEL ARMY CASE
Horses at 81 a Head the Charge Against
Two officers in the West

New York, Oct, 90 Major General
Grant, Col II. 0. Heistand and Col.
George Anderson Of Governors island
will leave for Detroit this week, where
they serve on the court martial that
is to try Col. Daniel Cornman and Capt.
Charles C. French Of the 18th infan-
try. .
The charges against Col. Cornman and
Capt. French are based on certain al
legged conditions at Fort Wayne, Mich,
which were made the subject of report
by an inspector Of the department Of
the lakes to Brigadier General William
II. Carter, the department commander.
II is said that contract surgeon,
who was stationed at Fort Wayne, made
q practice of selling horses TO mounted
officers for 81 an animal on condition
that the officers sell the animals back
10 him when asked 10 do so at the
same price. II is said that many officers
thought that horses temporarily owned
at purchase price OF 81 were much
cheaper than animals bought in the open
market for sums varying from 500 TO
5000 an animal.
1t has been suggested that, since an
animal owned by a mounted officer is en-.
titled to government forage, the contract
surgeon, 1t is alleged, made the 81 sale
to the officers, and then the govern.
ment furnished the forage to sustain the
animal
Officers of the army say that the board
of inquiry did not find that Col. Corn
man or Capt, French benefited any by
this cheap sale Of horses.
Col. Cornman said: Personally. Il
welcome any investigation | have serv-
ed 40 years in the army. There is no

scious that ! have never left the path
