MINERS LEADER is FOR TAFT.
w. D. Ryan Says Labor Vote Cannot
Be Swunu by GomperS.

indianapolis, Oct. 25.-W. d. Ryan.
secretary treasurer of the United Mine
Workers of America is firm in the be
lief that organized labor can not be
swung to the democratic party by
Samuel Gompers. In IA letter to the
chairman of the speakers bureau of
the republican committee Mr.. Ryan
says:
II have had the honor of attending
the conventions of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor for several years. and
one of the principal features at each
successive convention was to prevent Il
certain element represented there from
committing the American Federation
of Labor to partisan politics. 1t is q
well known fact. and almost needless
to repeat. that President Gompers has
always led the fight on the floor of
the conventions and conducted himself
in a masterful manner to prevent that
element from committing tho federation
of labor to partisan politics.
Il am of the opinion that this at
tempt to influence the voters to sup
port the democratic ticket will have
little or no effect, for the reason that
the laboring men know how to vote,
and will be guided by their own con-
science in selecting the man for whom
they will cast their vote in the coming
election. / am also of the opinion that
the majority of the people of this coun-
try. including the majority of the la
boring men, believe that the best in
terests of all will be conserved by the
election of w. H. Taft for president
and in so far as I am personally con-
cerned l will support his candidacy
and am broad minded enough to say
that the laboring people with whom
have been associated will carefully
weigh this question and cast their ball
lots on election day as their best
Judgment dictates. without regard to
the position that l or any official of
labor unions may take in the prem

ton Brandenburg, the alleged author
of the Cleveland letter, in which the
ex-president was made to favor the
election of Taft in preference to Bryan
was arrested last night by a detective
from New York city on charges OF
forgery and grand larceny.
Brandenburg sand he anticipated an
indictment and credits the charges to
connection with the publication Of the
Cleveland article. He says he is guilt
less of any crime and expects to be
able to vindicate himself.
He expresses astonishnent and in
ability to understand the reported con-
duct of Mrs. Cleveland and Mr.. Hast
ings in repudiating the article. "inas-
much as both knew" he says, "of the
genuineness of the article and the ex-
presidents signature"
Thru his attorney Brandenburg is
sued the following statement:

still alone in my fight and tho ready

which the facts warrant me, If it does

illinois Federation Condemns Speaker
After Fight.

After Fight.
Peoria. III. oct. 23.-The political
storm which has hung over the con-
vention of the Illinois State Federation
of Labor for the past three days burst
on the floor yesterday afternoon. 1t
was merely a slxirmish which presaged
the bitter contest that is to follow but
it proved spectacular while it lasted,
Fists were shaken defiantly under
noses, while the delegates exchanged
amenities by alluding to each other as
traitors" "JJudas Iscariots," open
shop advocates" and agents of the
employers"
The fight began when the committee
on resolutions made it's report. One of
the resolutions condemned both
Speaker Cannon of the national House
Of Representatives and Speaker Shurt-
left of the lower house at Springfield
1t was presented by delegates from the
unions of street car men and recited
how Speaker Shurtleff killed the en-
ployers' liability bill by gavel rule dur
ing the last session of the legislature.
The resolution urged both national and
state representatives to adopt rules of
procedure which would make the
speakers subservient to the wishes Of
a majority of the members instead of
their rulers, as it alleged had become
the case under the rule of Cannon and

been so we'll exploded that it will cause
no alarm.
Among the Cummins people there is
only Indignation that boomerang of
this kind should have been sprung on
the public. They have not delved into
the past of Major Lacey and do not
intend to do so. tho they have all along
had material on hand to make one of
the spiciest campaigns on record.
At republican state headquarters
there is a feeling that while the COM
mencement of the yellow campaign in
regard to senator will probably have
little effect thereon, it is likely to in
volve the legislative ticket in some
counties and might injure the state
ticket
The managers for the Lacey sena-
torial campaign have discIaimed all
knowledge and responsibility for the
yellow paper circular" attacking Gov
ernor Cummins for alleged extrava-
gance in state affairs.
Mr. A. u. Quint of Des Moines, one
cf the Lacey committee, had talk over
the telephone with Major Lacey and
Major Lacey confirmed the committees
Reputation of the circular. which was
admittedly in violation of the truce in
the interests of the republican tickets
in the field.
Chairman FRANKIE of the republican
state central committee, today issued
the following statement with reference
to the attitude of the republican candi-
dates for the legislature on the United
States senatorship:
1.-The general understanding has been
that candidates for election to the leg
islature would abide by the result of
the primary election on Nov 8. on the
United States senatorship, and vote in
the legislature for the candidate re-
ceiving the largest number of votes at
the primary. The committee at this
time is in receipt of written assur-
ances from every republican legislative
candidate to this effect, with the ex
ception of two, Wilkes Williams, of
Clayton county, and G. w. Schee, Of
O'Brien county.
.'There can no longer remain any
doubt in the minds of the voters as to
what the attitude of the republican
members of the next legislature will be
in this matter. and the duty of every
republican is to support his legislative
candidate"

COLLEGE DAY A SUCCESS.
Ames Students Have HowIing Tim
From Morn Till Night.

From Morn Till Night.
Special to Times Republican.
Ames, Oct 23.-In spite of rain and
mud, college day was a bowling sue
cess-that is, if college yells can be
called howls. College spirit reigned su-
preme, from the time the first prep was
stretched in the morning until the
quartet sang its last song at night.
When daylight began to make the
flag pole visible it disclosed fresh
man flag floating proudly at the top
with the ropes tied to the guy wires
about twenty feet from the ground. 1t
took only a few moments for group
of sophs to rally round the pole. and
one of them with the aid of an old pair
of overalls and plenty of resin, sue
ceeded in capturing the offending rag.
At 10 o'clock the band began to play.
and with drops of rain patterlng on
the drum and running down the bass
horn. The chapel was soon filled with
moist but enthusiastic students. The
classes WED with each other in seeing
who could produce the newest and
noisiest yells.
Professor Bessey of Nebraska Uni
versity, delivered the morning address.
He told in his quantity humorous way
of the early days of the college, when
he had occupied, not only the chair of
botany but the whole settee Of natural
science.
In the afternoon the culprit who
made away with the Margaret hall
light last Saturday night was captured
and brought before the kangaroo
court" The testimony Of the wit
nesses, who swore with their hand on
Montgomery Ward catalog to tell
the truth, the whole truth. and any
thing but the truth, was enough to
convict the prisoner. Before being led
away to serve out his sentence he
apologized to the students for allow
ing the light to be recaptured.
The big event Of the day was the
freshman sophomore foot ball game
These two teams had played moth
ing to nothing game last Friday, and
for time it looked as tho the sec
ond game would end the same way.
The freshmen, by putting in num-
ber.of subs, however, at last outwinded
the sophs, and forced them close
enough to the goal for successful
drop kick.

en- thru the streets. which were lined
with people, in an automobile. Wher-

today Taft has dwelt on the general

DUN ON BANK EXCHANGES.
Volume of Currency Movement In
creasing, But Less Than Year Ago.


New York. Oct. 23.-Dun's Review
tomorrow will say:
Payments thru banks are slightly
larger in volume than in the earlier
months of this year, but are still con-
siderable below normal for this season,
as appears with comparison with
preceding years, especially with Octo-
ber, 1906, when trade was very active.
The total bank exchanges this week are
2,445 72S O0O-15.4 per cent less than
year ago. and 17.7 per cent under the
corresponding week of 1906.
Dispatches to Dun's Review indi-
cate a remarkably well sustained vol
ume of business considering the fact
that the election is so near. 1t is es-
pecially noticeable that disposition is
to increase the manufacturing output
and producers are evidently expecting
that consumption will soon expand.
