A straw vote on the presidency was
taken on a c., B. & @. train in Iowa
the other day with a showing OF
eighty-one votes for Taft, forty-two
for Bryan, two for Hisgen and one
for Debs This is believed to be a
fair criterion of how the vote will be
divided between the two leading can
dldates The chances are that by
election time the preponderance in
favor of Taft will be still greater. He
has been making large gains of late
as the result of his vigorous campaign
tours, while Mr. Bryan has meanwhile
sustained distinct losses through pop
ular distrust of him and his vagaries.

]. p. Cruikshank says that neither
Congressman Kennedy nor Candidate
Tracy was invited to the Old Settlers
reunion at Fort Madison, and repudi-
ates the attempt of the Democratic
papers to make Congressman Ken
nedy's absence a slight to the
old settlers of Lee county. Mr.
Cruikshank's statement settles the
matter to the satisfaction, no doubt
of both Congressman Kennedy and the
old settlers-and nobody of sense tries
to satisfy the Democratic papers.

FOREIGNER HAD
LEARNED TO
RAISE CHECKS

Albert Stalder, proprietor of gen.
eral store at the corner of Cherry and
Tenth streets, was victimized by a
shrewd foreigner yesterday. The for
eigner, who it was afterwards learned,
is about to leave this country, went
into the place and purchased cheap
suit of clothing and rendered check
made out on a man named Young
in payment. This check called for
$51.00 and the man, after making
some other slight purchases, was Civ
en- his change. Everything appeared
to be regular until Stalder presented
his check at the bank upon which it
was drawn. when the discovery, was
made that the check had been raised
from 81 to $51. The case was placed
in the hands of Detective Brisbin
and four foreigners were brought to
the police station Wednesday night,
but it was soon proved that the man
who passed the worthless paper was
not among them.

FINLEY
Chosen to Manage the
Democratic Campaign
Despite Wishes of
Harmon
ACTION UNPRECEDENTED

Columbus, o., May 27.-Judson Har-
mon, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, has had to forego a time hon
ored prerogative of the head of the
ticket picking a campaign chairman.
AS q result of the other candidates
upon the ticket insisting upon the Sc
lection of w. L. Finley, Harmon has
yielded and Finley is chairman of the
state executive or campaign commit
tee. Three years ago when John M.
PattisOn was the Democratic candidate
for governor, he insisted upon his
right to name the chairman although
he had to antagonize almost the entire
state central committee. Pattison die
tated the appointment Of Harvey @.
CARRIER and CARRIER with Finley as sec
retary, built up one of the best party
organizatioss the Democrats have had.
This year, CARRIER voluntarily retired
because of his health and Finley was
ambitious to succeed him as chair
man. Is
Harmon's first choice was James
Ross, Columbus leader, but Ross de-
clined the honor. Then Harmon
picked wallace D. Yaple, of Chilli
cothe, but the other candidates de-
clared 1t must be Finley or no one.
The action is said to be without pre-,
cedent in Ohio politics.
