sert that the Prohibition party was
their greatest foe in the fight to Sc
cure the election of legislators IA
yorable to temperance legislation.

ker gave stirring address In which
he pointed out the disadvantages Of
any cooperation with the Prohibir
tion party. He also publicly de
nounced the statement to the effect

River, where a family Of nine per-
sons perished last week by an ex-
plosion of inferior oil.

tention of the officials that oil was
selling at Manitoba for 40 cents a
gallon, and can be had in the United
States, fifty miles south, for IL cents
gallon. ~. H..
The Standard Oil agent here, when

HIS AMBITION STILL LIVES
Leslie N. Shaw Continues to Run
for the Presidency.
But Since He Became a Corporation
Lawyer Even His Friends Re-
fuse 10 support Him.

Leslie NJ shaw. Of New York City and
Iowa. former governor of his State and
ex-Secretary OF the Treasury in the
Roosevelt Cabinet, is still in Washington
talking politics with Republican leaders.
Mr. shaw. according 70 statements
made here yesterday. is about the only
man In the world having any connection
whatsoever with Iowa who believes he
has any chance to capture that State s
delegation 10 the Republican national
convention.
As governor Of Iowa. he was a popular
man. AS Secretary Of the Treasury, DE
was the States pride. For maay years
be was the most expert OF all Iha Re
publican spellbindeFs In Iowa. Time was
when the party there would have given
him anything in its power.
Gov. Shaw had aspirations for the
Presidency when he was invited TO take
the Treasury portfolio in Mr.. Roosevelts s
Cabinet. That was a few years before
the time when Mr. Roosevelt himself
was TO be a candidate for the nomination.
1t was the belief Of many that President
Roosevelt attached Mr. Shaw to his ad-
ministratiou in the belief that he was re-
moving from his path a man who might
prove a dangerous rival for the nomina-
ton
Mr.. Sbaw's popularity in Iowa was
undiminished uD 10 the time he accepted
the Presidency Of a big trust company
in New York and took up his residence
in that city.
The former governor found on his re-
cent visit to Iowa in search Of delegates
to support him for the Presidential nomi-
nation that he was regarded somewhat
in the light of a Carpet-bagger.
The Cummins faction would have none
Of Mr.. Shaw. and he got q cold reception
from those members of the faction with
wrich he was formerly identified. Mr
Shaw has been told frankly by members
of the Iowa delegation in Congress that
the party In the State Will not support
him in the Chicago convention; that the
State is for Taft, and to save hts face 1t
would be better for him 20 pull In his
lightning rod Mr.. Shaw persists. how
ever. He is running. but he cannot find
anybody TO agree with him.
