TOBEGIN CAMPAIGN
IN EIGHT STATES
Headquarters to Be Opened at
Once for Active Work for
Taft and Sherman

CHICAGO, July 25.-As the result
OF the republican conference here
today. which was called by Frank
II. Hitchcock, chairman Of the ma
tional committee, headquarters will
be established Immediately in eight
states and active campaigning for Taft
and Sherman begun long before these
states had expected to take up the
work. The states taking part IN the
conference We're Illinois Indiana, Iowa
Missouri Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin.
The meeting was one of the most
enthusiastic yet held by Hitchcock, al
though at the outset the men were
less receptive than were the repre-
sentatives Of the states in the far west
who met early in the week at Colorado
Springs
It was agreed that polls should be
taken at once TO gather necessary in
formation regarding voters.
The leaders from Wisconsin We're not
inclined TO open headquarters in that
state until after the state republican
ticket had been named. After a gen
eral campaign program had been out
lined by Hitchcock, these men became
interested and it was agreed that work
should be commenced in all states as
soon as possible.
Obstacles to successful organization
in certain states We're mentioned, but
in the general discussion which fol-
lowed most Of these were met and il is
stated that a comprehensive plan was
adopted for carrying on campaigning
in all Of the eight states.

L. Mauren, a member of the Lithuanian

When the dead bandit was found in
the cemetery Thursday morning he had
taken advantage of a lull in the firing
to write a note to her. addressed to

that he was facing death and would
perhaps have to "shoot so cops" before
he could get away.
Acting on this the police rounded up
the colony of Lithuanians and Let's in

the point of guns. All are being sub

A HUGE SUCCESS
IS INITIATED
Numerous Firms Try to
Follow Example Of
Another

Through the columns of this paper
the Lindholm Furniture Company have
advertised extensively their sale of the
Kragens stock Of furniture. This sale
has proved a remarkable success from
the beginning, for they have made
prices that are one-quarter to one
third of what the same goods were for
merly sold for
The great crowds that have been at
tending the sale have stirred up q
spirit of envy among other dealers
and they have in turn started other
sales, but in the way of values they
amount to little, for the Lindholm Fur
niture Company bought the Kragens
stock at about one-fifth of the whole
sale cost; therefore are enabled to sell
furniture at prices that are cheaper
than the retailers can buy it for from
the factories, let alone pay the freight
Tomorrow will be the 39th day of
their unparalleled success, and still in
terest is at fever pitch over the aston
ishing values they offer.
The Lindholm Furniture Company
guarantees everything as advertised
and guarantees everything as repre-
sented by their statesmen or money
back, and another thing, it's $50 differ
ent," since they bought it; Lindholms
deliver the goods.

ADDRESS ON MONOPOLY
Monopoly was the theme of the ad
dress of Judge James G. Mcguire.
Every man who labors is carrying
one monopoly man on his shoulders"
he said. This country is in even a
worse condition than France, where
each citizen supports one soldier. The
French people threw off the yoke of
tyranny which oppressed them by a
bloody revolution, but we should go
even further. This country must be
saved by the common people. The tide
of monopoly must be swept back. This
taxation by private interests must stop.
The democratic party is going to
win this election, and I'll tell you why
by relating a little political historical
fact-no party in power during pc
riod of national depression has ever
won a national election. 1t is not suf-
ficient that it is NOT the fault of the
party that the depression occurred-if
the party proves unable to find a cure
for panic it should be thrown out of
power"
Following Judge Mcguire, John w.
Sweeney of the San Francisco labor
council told why the labor men he rep
resented would vote the democratic
ticket. He was very optimistic of the
effect of the labor vote on the final
result and promised that the laboring
men of the country would place New
York, Illinois and Ohio in the ranks of
the democratic party.

Il am not a partisan" said Sweeney.
L am prompted by what the trades
unionists want. 1 believe that in this
election the democrats deserve to
triumph and that they will. In this
country today inequity runs riot. We
labor men do not assail the courts-al-
though it is true we have but little
respect for them-but the democratic
party, by adopting the anti-injunction
plank, has won for itself the support
of the laboringmen of the nation. l do
not eXaggerate when 1 say we are
going to give the democratic party the
states of New York, Illinois and Ohio.

council was the next speaker.

public press on the question of a COM
promise between labor and capital AS
regards this l want to say that there
never has been-never will be-a COM

coming from his seat in the hall
"Dick" Whelan entertained the crowd
with "Harrigan."
Gould put particular stress in his
speech on Bryan's two defeats He
said in part:
I'VE have chosen as our candidate a
man twice defeated. We have chosen
him for the qualities in him regardless
Of his defeats. He has been more
glorious in defeat than others have
been in victory. He has been defeated
but never dishonored. why has he
been chosen? Because qualities of mind
and heart are in this man that endear
him to the great mass of the common
people of America"
After BILLY" Hynes had taken his
little fling at Hearst and sung the

think that democracy iseas right today

four years ago"

Hearst's erstwhile support OF the demo-
cratic party and then quoted President
