HITCHCOCK ADVISES
GREATER ACTIVITY
DeplOreS Apathy Shown by East
ern Republicans.

New York. Sept 19.-AH OF the
members of the executive and ad-
visory committees of the Republican
national committee met with Chair,
man Hitchcock and gave their atten-
ton to some means Of arousing great,
er enthusiasm in the campaign in the
East. The impression that the battle.
ground is entirely in the Western
states is deplored by the management
of the campaign in the East and Mr.
Hitchcock is taking steps to instill
more activity in the conduct of polit.
ical affairs in this region.
What action will be taken has not
been determined, bat all of Mr.. Hitch
cocks advisers have agreed to give
their full time to the campaign hence
forth.
Charles p. Taft, brother of the Re
publican candidate for president, had
long talk with Mr.. Hitchcock. Sen
ator Borah of Idaho, who has made
more than thirty speeches in the East
will leave for Chicago at once. At the
New York headquarters he said that
the sooner the Eastern Republicans
get rid of the notion that they have
no fight on their hands the better of
they will be.

IN SPECIAL SESSION.
Indiana Legislature Will Consider
County Option Bill.

Indianapolis, Sept. ia special
session of the Indiana legislature con-
vened to consider four subjects: A
county local option; bill giving the
governor additional authority to pre-.
vent destruction of property by night
riders in Southern Indiana should any
be threatened; bill to repeal grant
made to the Vincennes university of
$4,000 by the last Legislature and a
bill to correct an error in bill passed
by the last legislature by which unex-
pended funds of state institutions
would revert to the general fund on
Sept. 80. The subject of absorbing in
tersst Is the county option bill, which
Is favored by the Republican platform
and is being supported by Governor
Hanly and the Republican members
with few exceptions. Democrats are
nearly all opposed to the measure and
whether the bill will be passed is
problematieal. Republican campaign
leaders opposed calling the special
session on the eve of general cleo
tion, doubling the political propriety
of the action.

Ing such service before the federal
prosecution of that concern, but that
such employment had nothing to do
with matters pending in congress or
In which the federal government was
Interested, is the substance of a brief
statement made by United States Sen
ator Foraker in answer to the charges
made by William r. Hearst in Colum-
bus. During his speech Mr.. Hearst
read letters which he said had been
written by John ID. Archbold of the
Standard Oil company to Senator For
nker, referring to legislation pending
In congress and mentioning two en-
closures of checks, one for $4,000
and another for $14500. Senator For
Rker's statement follows:
Il do not know whether the letters
given out by Mr.. Hearst are true COP

gress or to anything in which the fed
eral government had the slightest in

sumabiy compensated for my services

verse, to be employed by such cor
porations.

forest fires are held In check as a re-

Chicago Bay and other north shore
settlements that have thus far es-

settlers north of Grand Marais are

and 1t was feared they might have
perished An avenue OF escape was
left open to them to the northward,
however, and they got away from the
fire without much diff Guilty.
The America brought in only a very
few refugees. Il is believed the set
tiers will be able to return to their
land within a week or two. Practically
all of those burned out intend to start
in on their homesteads anew. With a
little outside assistance they will be
able to take care of themselves nicely.
There Is still considerable sickness

ditions are rapidly getting better in
this respect. The situation is now well
In hand.
Sheriff Carhart has been in close
touch with the situation from the

there is now no further danger. The
