BEGINS HIS JOURNEY
JUDGE TAFT LEAVES MIDDLE BASS
 ISLAND.
The Repub Candidate Visited The Home And Tomb Of The Late Preaident Rutherford B.
 Hayes Yesterday.

Sandusky. O., Sept. 7-William H Taft today began his journey from the fishing grounds of Middle Bass Island to the activities of his campaign at Cincinnati. where he will arrive tomor- row after speech-making trip through the state. The Taft family is quartered tonight at the home of Ed ward H. Marsh, a college friend of the candidate.
 The feature of the day which has been one of varied travel by boat. auto mobile and trolley. was the visit to the home and tomb of the late Presi- dent, Rutherford B. Hayes. at Spiegel Grove, near Fremont. Here the party were the guests of Colonel Webb Hayes.
 Fremont was reached shortly after o'clock. after the candidate had landed and had been heartily received by the residents of Port Clinton, where he made a very brief address from the deck of Commodore Richardson's yacht Jessamine. on which the sail was made from the Middle Bass Club.
 The importance politically of the meeting to be held in the theatre here tomorrow has been accentuated by the assurance received here tonight that former Governor Herrick will speak on the subject of the guarantee of bank deposits by the government on which he takes the ground that such guarantee would be another form of monopoly. General Keller will also speak at this meeting on the subject of the tariff and General Henry c. Corbin is scheduled for remarks. Judge Taft will begin here the politi- cal talks he is to continue throughout the day. He will address the old sol- diers in a historical speech earlier in the morning.

 ATED. The Letter Was Unsigned and Was Mailed at Topeka the Latter
 Part of Auxust--In PoIfcesE Hands,


 Topeka, Sept. 7.-The State Journal today prints an unsigned letter mailed in Topeka, in the latter part of Au- gust. and addressed to Judge wm. H. Taft. in which the writer warns the Re- publican President nominee of an alleged plot to assassinate him.
 The letter, which was remaiIed to the Chief of Police of Topeka by direc- tion of Judge Taft, was made public here today by the latter official. The writer is believed to be of unsound mind.
 The letter follows:
 Topeka, Kan, Aug. 27. Secretary of War W. H. Taft:
 Dear Sir--I feel 1t is my duty to enlighten you on some facts which greatly concern you. Four or five sus- picious looking men were seen in close conversation in a box car which was standing in the Rock Island yards. was very close to the car, and having rubber heels they did not hear me ap- proach. They were busy formulating plans to assassinate the next President. who they said would be you, and more over they were going to try their best to duplicate some negro men. One of them was very desperate and swore he would do 1t at Chicago the next time you 6came; but that he would do so wita rife from the top of some sky sofaper. Yours respectfully,
 Your Unknown Friend"

LAB0R'SARCH ENEMY
SAMUEL G0sIPERs STEAKS AGAINST
 JUNGLE JOE"
Asks WerkinEmen Tn Speaker Cannon'a ptAtriet To Support REr.k He'll, The Nosuinee Of The
 Democrats.

Danvilie. H.. Sept ,7.--samuel Com pers, president of the, American Fed eration of Labor. opened his campaign against the reelection of Joseph C.. Cannon as member of the national House of Representatives today when he spoke at the Labor Day celebration in this city. MT. Gompers spoke to a crowd of about 1000 people.
 ''If you wish to defeat MT. Cannon" the labor leader said. in concluding his speech. you win have to. vote for a man who is here listening to this ad- dress"
 With this reference to H. c. Bell. the Democratic opponent of Speaker Cannon. Mir. Gompers quit the stand {. Immediately there were cries from the Democratic portion of the audience for Mir. Bell. The labor leaders of Danville and surrounding country who had the celebration In charge. refused. however to allow Mir. Bell to mount the rostrum, despite the fact that -the Democratic candidate had told Mir. Gompers that he would be glad to ad- dress the crowd Thus what might have turned Into a Democratic mass meeting was averted by the labor men who desired that their celebration be kept without the bounds of politics.
 Incidentally Mir. Gompers took oc- caEion to pay his respects to the Re- publican Presidential ticket.
 There's a glorious triumvirate." he said, after he had charged both the Republican nominees with being In league with employer and not employe. adding Mir. Cannon to the list. There's a glorious triumvirate. If you people here love Mir. Cannon so much. you'll be doing the American people great favor by keeping him at home. He is the worst enemy of organized labor In the United States today.
 Labor leaders have constantly ap- peared in Congress asking for legis- lation favorable to the laboring men. All they got was some flimsy bit of statute of no practical benefit. Then we went before the last Republican national convention. Some one said that we got a plank on labor there. I want to tell you it was nearly 6 whole woodpile."
 MT. Gompers declared to his audience that he was not Democrat. that he had never had been a Democrat.
 T was a Republican once" he said, but, thank God. I've got over that"
 MT. Gompers spoke for an hour and A half. For an hour he devoted him. self to the tenets of organized labor and made a favorable impression on the crowd. Then no branched out on an attack on Mir. Cannon. This did not sit so well with the crowd and at the close of his address the labor leader was speaking to not more than TOO people.
