SAMUEL GOMPERS OPENS
 FIGHT ON JOE CANNON

Danville, H., September 7.-Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, opened his cam paign against the reelection of Joseph C.. Cannon as a member of the national House of Representatives today, when he spoke at the Labor Day celebration in this city. MT. Gompers spoke to crowd of about 1000 people.
 ''If you wish to defeat Mr. Cannon" the labor leader said in concluding his speech, you will have to vote for man who is here listening to this address.
 With this reference to H. c. Bell, the democratic. opponent of Speaker Cannon, Gompers quit the stand. Immediately there were cries from the democratic DOT tion of the audience for MT. Bell The labor leaders of Danville and surround ing country, who had the celebration in charge, refused, however, to allow MT. Bell to mount the rostrum despite the fact that the democratic candidate had told MT. Gompers that he would be glad to address 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 MT Gompers took occasion
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-09-08

to pay his respects to the republican presidential ticket.
 There's a glorious triumvirate,' he said, after he had charged both the re- publican nominees with being in league with employer and not employe, adding MT. Cannon to the list. There's a glo- rious triumvrate. If you people here love MT. Cannon so much, you'll be doing the American people a great favor by keep ing him at home. He is the worst enemy of organized labor in the United States today.
 Labor leader have constantly ap- peared in congress, asking for legisla- ton favorable to the laboring man. All they got was some fiimsy bit of statute of no practical benefit. Then he went be- fore the last republican national conven- tion. Some one said that we got plank on labor there. I want to tell you it was nearly a whole wood-pile.'
 MT. Gompers declared to his audience that he was not democrat; that he never had been a democrat. 'I was republican once, he said, but thank God I've got over that"
 MT. Gompers spoke for a hour and a half. For an hour he devoted himself to the tenets of organized labor, and made a favorable impression on the crowd. Then he branched out on an attack on MT. Cannon. This did not sit so we'll with the crowd, and at the close of his ad- dress the labor leader was speaking to not more than 700 people.

FLAMES TANNED
 INTO GREAT FURY Forest Fires Are Still Ravaging
 the Mesaba Range SMALL TOWN DESTROYED People Flee In Terror Before the En- croaching Fire, Leaving All They
 Possess, and Many Towns
 Are In Danger.

Duluth, September 1.-The Mesaba range is again threatened with the fire horror which swept away Chisholm Saturday and wiped out thousands of acres of standing timber. After day of quiet the flames, which died down Sunday, were famed into renewed fury again today and are sweeping on toward Hibbing, Buhl and Nashwauk from the south.
 The town of Snowball, 100 inhabitants, was completely destroyed this afternoon by fire that came upon 1t suddenly. The people had no opportunity to fight the flames and fled in terror to the nearest location. Snowball is about two miles from Nashwauk.
 Brooklyn, a small suburb of Hibbing Is threatened by fire. and if this portion of the town catches the rest is doomed Buhl and Nashwauk, which were threat ened with destruction Sunday, are again in danger, and the flames are creeping al- ready toward them. The citzens are fighting the onrushing flames desper- ately.
 Aurora is entirely surrounded by forest fires, and the citizens are fighting the flames. The town is believed to be safe unless strong wind should arise from the north or south.
 Mitchell, a small town about one mile southeast of I1ibbing, was threatened with destruction all day today and was saved only by the heroic efforts of the inhabit- ants and the employees of the Duluth, Mesaba and Notrehrn railway, whose round house is situated there. Several hundred men are still guarding the place. The pine timber which surrounds Mitch ell has been almost entirely consumed.
 Between Nashwauk and IIibbing, re- zion 22 miles long, the forests are one continuous battle front of flames

West Virginia political horizon from the interference from the national committee to the corner street fights of Senator Scott will remain away from the polls.
 In Maryland the democratic leaders pro- fess confidence in the result. The dem- ocrats there are waging a splendid cam paign-the best they have attempted Tn years. This is because they have to. The Maryland democrats are without daily newspaper, the press of Baltimore being solidly against them. Thus hand icapped it has become necessary for more sneakers to be drafted, the circulation of additional campaign literature and spurring of effort to get the party's prin- ciples before every voter.
 This costs money and labor but the Maryland democrats are going about it in a manner which deserves the highest praise and there are indications that the little state may have a surprise in store for the Taft democrats who from the social clubs of Baltimore are daily giv- ing out handsful of interviews as to the number of democrats in this and that particular club who are going to vote for Taft. w. 5.

SOUTH CUT OUT OF
 REPUBLICAN PLANS No Big Sums Will Be Sent to
 Southern States CALL TO DOUBTFUL STATES Chairman Hitchcock Will Concentrate All His Energies Upon the PoIiti-
 cal Battles to Occur In Sew
 eral Northern States.
CALL TO DOUBTFUL STATES

Washington, September 7.-(Special.) complete abandonment of the cam paign in the southern states, including the border states of Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee, has been decided upon by the republican national committee.
 This is the information brought to Washington today by two republican politicians from southern states, who passed through here on their way home from New York. They had been there to talk with the republican manager about the southern campaign. Accord ing to the reports they put up poor mouth" to the manager and it didn't go. They returned without one cent, but with the well defined idea that the money stored in republican banks in New York is to be poured exclusively in states north of Kentucky and Mis- souri. In Kentucky, Missouri and Ten nessee there are several doubtful con gressional districts where assistance will be given but the republican na- tional committee, while well supplied with funds, does not believe that it has enough to throw away in the south and from now on there will be much less talk concerning the possibility oi southern states going republican.
 One of the republican politicians who had a talk with Chairman Hitchcock was especially inclined to be bitter toward the policy of the national com mittee. The southern republicans, he explained, came up almost solidly for Taft at the convention. There are not enough offices to go around and he thinks the republican committee ought to be willing to contribute at least enough money to form something moro than an organization based upon party spirit. He is said to have been asked the direct question by Chairman Hitch cock whether he believed there was any chance of carrying his state, and answered in the negative. The chair man immediately had a very important engagement and forgot to return at an appointed hour meanwhile taking the train for Chicago.
 All democratic advices and seemingly republican information as we'll place Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee as safely in the democratic column as the states farther south. The only border states now conceded to be doubtful by the managers of each party are Mary land and West Virginia. In each state a terrific struggle for supremacy will be made. In West Virginia the demo- crats have the advantage of a united party; in fact this condition exists in every other state, while in West Virginia there are two republican factions con- stantly at each others throats, the na- tional committee meanwhile pretending that as the same electoral ticket will head each group of state officers the state will go for Taft. Not unlikely 1t will be found that hundreds Qf repub- licans disgusted at everything on the

 We are today the magnet which is drawing the iron rails of the world, the great highways of commerce which are attracted by our vast resources and still more magnificent possibilities.

President Atkinson of the New Line Was Probably More Deeply Moved By the Reception Than
 Anyone Present.

While thousands cheered and whistles screamed, the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad brought East Alabama to Birmingham yesterday afternoon. Twelve coaches, packed by 800 of the most representative citizens of the new territory, drawn by modern powerful engine, steamed into the Louisville and Nashville station at 4:35 D. m.
 As if in illustration Of the brave fight against almost impossible circumstances, against the war of the blind on capital, against the slippery tracks of financial depression, against the most destructive panic in years, waged by the Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic railroad in its on- ward progress to Birmingham, engine l526 came to a dead halt at Eighteenth streer.
 Just as the goal was almost reached the fiagman gave the red signal, and the engineer had to stop. While the great throng In the depot urged him on, while hundreds lining the tracks and standing on box cars cheered lustily the big trala of cars seemed stuck to the rails.
 Typical of tn eindomitabe resolution with which the railroad has steamed ovet every difficulty, Engineer R. A. Chastain backed off, took another start, puffed bravely around the curve and into the enthusiastic crowd.

DR.. Hoyt was accustomed to receive
appealing letters from his patients.
but this one was. he thought. decid-
edly out of the ordinary. So that
evening. according to the mans re-
quest, he called upon McGregor at
the Power House, and together they
repaired to the old shed.
The doctor was prepared by the
letter for some kind of a surprise,
but when once inside the building
his astonishment knew no bounds.
But before he had time to express
himself in words, McGregor hastened
to remark:
"Dr. Hoyt, this visit is evidence OF
great kindness and interest on your
part. Kindly seat yourself on this
little platform while with this pointer
in my hand at once proceed with my
story:
"The scene before you represents
a piece of the coast line in the north
east of Scotland. At our feet is

Moray Firth and in the Channel be-
fore us comes from yonder faucet and
flows out again through that narrow
defile into the Caledonian Canal at
the other end of the shed. On the
other side of the Channel before us Is
Fort George. You can see the dimin-
utive sentries in their boxes, and
company of Highlanders on the
parade ground, and that cluster of
little white tents on the hillside is a
field hospital. Turning now to the
right, we have Culloden Moor, where
the battle was fought in AS, and be-
yond 1t, at the head of the Firth of
Inverness, is representation of the
beautiful capital of the Highlands
with its romantic castle, where, If you
remember, Macbeth entertained the
generous Duncan in grewsome fash

the hills yonder is the seat of the
Master of Lovat, whose ancestor was
out with Prince Charlie.
