Ira ID. Sankey Dies.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Ira D. San
key, known as an evangelist through
out the Christian world, died last
week at his home in Brooklyn. Mr..
Sankey was 68 years of age. For the
last five years he had been blind. and
had suffered from a complication of
diseases brought on by overwork.
But almost to the very last he work
ed at hymn-writing.
Mr.. Sankey's tours through this
country and Europe with Dwight l..
Moody, the evangelist, brought him
into wide prominence. Sankey, 1t
might be said, wrote gospel hymns
for the world. In China, Egypt, In
dia, Japan, in almost every language
known to men, Sankey's hymns were
sung. He secured a large income
from his publications., and leaves a
considerable estate.
Among Sankey's most familiar
compositions are THE Ninety and
Nine" and when the Mists Have
Rolled Away" His songs are said
to have had circulation of more
than $4,000, 900 copies.

ROOSEVELT MAY HELP TAFT.
Wind-up of Presidential Contest Will
Draw Him Out,

Washington. d. c., Aug. 1S-Close
friends of President Roosevelt and
w. Fl. Taft have let drop some hint
within the past day or two that the
President is more than likely to get
into the campaign in most active
manner close on to election time.
That he will appear personally in
some OF the states where the fight
assumes it's most critical phases and
talk directly to the people is regard
ed as one of the logical sequences of
the decision of Mr.. Taft not to make
any stumping tour.
Information from a reliable source
is that Secretary Luke Wright, a for
mer Democrat, will take the stump
for Mr. Taft in Tennessee and, that
being the case, Tennessee, more than
otherwise would be the case, will be-
come interesting territory. If the
plan is carried out, 1t will be more
serious attempt than any yet made
to break up the solid South and Sc
cure a political alignment on a new
basis.

Will UNDERGO A -
SERIOUS OPERATION
CANCER OF STOMACH ATTACKS
OREGON OFFICIAL IN
SAN FRANCISCO.
Death of Man Next to GovernO,
Would Cause Perplexing
Complications.

Portland, Or, Aug. 1S.-Secretary
or State Frank Benson, now in San
Francisco, Is to have an operation
performed for cancer of the stomach
as last resort to save his life His
condition is so serious that grave
fears are entertained as to his recov-
cry, despite the proposed surgical
operation.
Since his election as Secretary of
State two years ago, Mr. Benson has
been i'll the greater part of the time.
Shortly after he was sworn in he
was unable to attend to his duties
and for many weeks the office was
conducted by his brother, Judge Ben
son. At various times since, it has
been necessary for the Secretary of
State to leave Salem for treatment,
and shortly after the June election
no travelled to San Francisco, where
he has remained.
Should the operation fail of its
purpose, the political situation of
Oregon, which is now decidedly COM
plicated, will be even more involved
The death of Secretary Benson be-
fore the end OF the coming legisa-
tive session in January would bring
about number of changes in the po-
litical geography of the state.
According to the statutes of Ore
gon, the Secretary of State is the
successor to the Governor when the
latter dies, resigns or leaves the Of
fee. This is Of especial importance
when it is remembered that George
E. Chamberlain, the Governor, has
received the popular vote for United
States Senator
In the event Of the decease of Ben
son before the converting of the Leg
islature, Governor Chamberlain
would have the appointing of new
Secretary of State to fill the unex-
PRED term.
