Governor and not few declared that they
would do everything In reason TO defeat
the Governors denomination on the ground
that ho cannot be reelected. There was
no disgusting thess sentiments. and yet the
committeeman giving expression to them
did not care to be quoted In the newspapers.
Indeed. several Of the committeeman went
90 far as TO cay that those connected with
national affairs should not attempt to in
terfere In behalf Of Gov. Hughes's renom-
ination. .,..
Several Of the executive committeeman
said that Supreme Court Justice Frank W.
Hlsoock of Syracuse is the man who should
be nominated for Governor at Saratoga.
Those uttering these remarks. however.
apparently forgot that Onondaga county
has declared for Senator Horace White.
The members Of the executive committee
may visit President Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay and urge upon the President the neces-
sity for announcing that in his Judgment
the convention at Saratoga should be an
old fashioned affair, q free and open con-
vention where the views Of all the delegates
could be expressed without fear or favor.
Without the slightest doubt Mr.. Woodruff,
Mr.. Ware. Mr.. Parsons. Mr.. Barnes and Mr..
Hendricks believe In this plan. and there Is
just tho same certainty that majority OF
the executive committee are somewhat
nettled ct Vice-Presidential Candidate
James 8. Sherman for returning from
Oyster Bay week ago and announcing
that thes preponderance OF the sentiment
at Oyster Bay on the occasion OF his visit
favored the Governors denomination.
There was great deal more fubdub heard
yesterday, but It can be announced that
majority Of the executive committee are
at the present moment hostile to the Gov
ernor's denomination.
The only work that the executive COM
mittee did at its session was to hear and
decide the controversy between Cayuga.
Seneca and Cortland counties. which form
one Senate district as to their representa-
ton in the Senate convention. 1t was de-
cided to give Cayuga 10 votes. Seneca. q.
and Cortland. o. This is a gain Of one vote
for Seneca and makes a deadlock between
Senator Wilcox and his opponents in the
other two counties. Senator Wilcox pre-
sented his case before the committee, and
the Cortland men and the Seneca men pre-
sented theirs. After the decision Senator
Wilcox, who has already won at the pri-
maries in Cayuga. said that he believed he
would be reiiominated to the Senate.
Secretary Straus Of the Department Of
Commerce and Labor was at national head
quarters yesterday afternoon. In the
presence Of Chairman Hitchcock and SEN
ator julius Cesar Burrows Of Michigan,
Secretary Straus was asked for his opinion
as New Yorker OF the New York Repub-
hcan State situation Secretary Straus re-
piled: i have been absent on my vacation
and on an investigating tour. 1t has been
my experience Of twenty-five years though
that politicians are only successful when
they realize and follow the denands> Of the
people. Politicians who attempt to hwart
the wishes Of the people are never sue
cessful.'

were killed and fifteen severely injured
this evening at the Warriors Run colliery
Of the Lehigh Valley Company when a
car got beyond control and dashed down
a steep slope into crowded truck on which
workmen were being hauled to the surface.
The four ton car sent the truck 1000

boys and men and manning fifteen others
who were in the car.
The days work had been finished and
the heavy wooden car. with four seats run
ming crosswise, was filed with men eager
to gain the surface and hasten home.
James Stimoon. the head man, Is blamed
for the accident. To save little time

Hot SPRINGS. Aug. 2s.-Mr. Taft's stay
at Hot Springs ended tonight. He left
at $50 with Mrs. Taft. their son Charlie
and seven newspaper correspondents for
Middle Bass Island. Lake Erie, to be guests
there OF the Middle Bass Fishing Club
for q week. <- ...
The candidates. last day here ives busy
In the seven weeks his correspondence
had steadily increased and he found that
he had an enormous job. His secretaries
were busy all day packing the records
and letter files and one Of them will remain
over day or 30 TO complete the job.
Fred Carpenter. the private secretary,
has made arrangements for Offices at the
Hotel Sinton in Cincinnati. Mr.. and Mrs.
Taft will live there. and It is pcssible that
some speeches to visiting delegations will
be made In one Of the meeting rooms in
the hotel instead Of from the front porch
certain. however. hat the candidate will
not stick in Cincinnati during the cam
paien. He will be obliged to yield to the
demands that he appear In doubtful States.
Besides the annoyance Of moving day
the candidate had to work on speech
war veterans tomorrow. Between pack
ing and speech writing Mr.. Taft had to
forego Rolf, and had to leave without bet
tering bis record Of 50 for ls holes.
The candidate has got a world Of good
out of golf. He says he was never In better
condition and he certainly looks it. He
has had TO punch some new holes in his
belt on the short side as result Of all this
mountain golf.
A good many summer guests were down
at the railroad station to see the Taft
party of and Mr.. Taft was cheered roundly.
The man with the coon dog issue has
come to the front again. He appeared
four times in the line Of hand shakers on
Virginia day and each time he said appeal
ingly: - g.,

Mr.. Taft put him Cd with the argument
that good coon dogs are scarce. Now
he wants q dog right away. He gives his

1t has long been a problem to ex-
plain why the use of cigarettes was
more harmful than other forms of
smoking. Probably one of the princi-
pie reasons is that the nicotine in a
cigar is deposited in the butt and
much of 1t thrown away, while in the
loosely rolled cigarette it is drawn
into the mouth, nose and lungs. An.
other reason is that on account of
their cheapness and smallness they
can be obtained by the boys and there
is a great temptation to frequent and
continued use. The boy who smokes
is rarely known to make a man Of

of tobacco are not so violent as are
those of alcohol, yet it's influence on
the human race is second only to
that drug. The hold which this drug
gets On a nan Or a boy and the evil
effects seem to be due to a substance
called nicotine. This substance is a
very powerful poison and the amount
OF it contained in in an ordinary Gig
ar, if extracted and taken into the
stomach pure, would probably prod
uce death. The nicotine is partly burn
en in smoking but not than half
of it is so destroyed, as half has been
recovered from the smoke. 1t is sol

absorbed by the mucuS membranes

is possible that a man may smoke in
moderation for years OF throughout
his life without any harmful effects
that al be demonstrated but with
growth this is certainly not true. The
boys who use tabocco do not increase
in height as fast as those who do
weight. They never do grow as tall
as they would without this drug. The
increase in weight is probably due
to the fact that they become more
