VESTS PLUUKIEsT GIRL
Fair Oklahoma Onieeholder's Face IA
to Grace Brysa Literature.

Guthrie, Okla, July 25-Miss Kate
Bernard, commissioners of charities
and corrections for the new state of
Oklahoma. Is often. referred to out
this way as s'thepluckiest, cleverest
girl / nthe bounding west" She is
one Of those new and rare commo-
dities which the new west is produc-
ing-the woman in politics.
Miss Bernard went into the last
campaign in Oklahoma as the demo-
cratic nominee for the office she now
holds. She conducted her own cam
paign, making scores of public
speeches., and won out by an over
whelming majority. defeating one of
the most formidable republican poll
ticians in the state.
Miss Bernard was a delegate from
Oklahoma to the recent national cor
ference OF charities and corrections
held in Richmond, Va. Her paper on
prison reforms, delivered before the
general conference, caused the dele
gates from other states to sit up and
take notice. She was accompanied to
Virginia by H. Huson, who resigned
the editorshtp of ia newspaper in Ok
lahoma City in order to acceYs the
position of chief Of Miss Bernard's 3
STAFF; Miss Llah Lindsay, state presi-
dent of the Womens Christian Tenn
perance union and. state commander
of the Woman's Relief corps, a
wealthy girl. owning a large tract of
oil land in Oklahoma and boasting
Cherokee and Creek Indian blood in
her veins, and Mrs. George NJ. Flick
of Oklahoma City. one of the largest
taxpayers in the new state, and form
erly press correspondent at the
national capital.
1t was an instant success for Miss
Bernard among the Virginia politi-
clans. who showered her with atten-
tions, introducing her everywhere as
real live girl democrat. A woman
actively in politics is something new
in Virginia. A woman who has actu-
ally acquired the right to vote is a
curiosity among the womankind Of
the south.

GET ACQUAINTED DAY

New York, July 25-The republican
leaders of the city were fully alive to
their opportunity today to make the
personal acquaintance of their candi
date for the presidency and when Will
liam H. Taft leaned back in his Pull
man seat late in the afternoon to begin
his journey to Cincinnati, he had
shaken the hand Of practically every
district leader in greater New York, a
number of state leaders and had con-
versations with politicians of various
varying degrees Of prominence to the
number of several hundreds.
1T has been a day Of acquaintance
making" was Mr.. Taft's comment aft
er the impromptu reception was over.
There is no political significance to
be attached to any of the interviews
I have had. It is a little early for me
to get reports of the situation in the
state but from what has been told me
by the men / have seen, satisfaction
seems to be the prevailing state of
mind"
So far as Mr.. Taft now intends, this
will be his last visit to the city until
after election. He will reach Cincin-
natl tomorrow shortly after noon. Aft
er the notification ceremonies Tues
day 1t Is his purpose to return to Hot
Springs at the earliest possible NOM
ent, probably Wednesday.
Although Mr.. Taft spent the greater
part of the night going over the proof
Of his notification speech, he was up
early and kept breakfast engagement
with his brother, Henry w. Taft and
wife, at the Plaza. He was called on
here by Paul Morton and by Judge and
Mrs. w. H. Jackson, long time person.

haitian, he found a delegation waiting
for him and the callers came through
out the day without cessation. Henry
w. Taft assisted the candidate In. re-
ceiving the guests for some time.
William L. Ward, republican nation
al committeeman and William Barnes,
Jr.. Of Albany, called together and
had an extended interview. Other
callers included Job Hodges, w. s.
Scarborough, president Of Wilberforce
university. Xenia, Ohio; John Wesley
Hill and Rev. DR.. Wheaton Of Chicago.
The last caller was lady artist who
took measurements of Mr.. Taft's head
for a portrait. The candidate declared
at the end Of the rush that he had
really enjoyed the day and regarded
1t az having been most pfofitably
spent. Judge Taft would make no
comment on the statement Of President
Roosevelt on the Standard Oil court
proceedings.

Department Of Justice Making
Desperate Effort to Save
Standard Fine
EFFORT WILL Be MADE TO
REACH THE SUPREME COURT
Writ Of Certiorari May be Used to Pre-.
vent the Case Being Sent Back for
New Trial in the Federal District
Court

Chicago, July 25.-President Roose-
velt,s statement on the Standard Oil
decision had the effect Of galvanic
battery on the governments legal
forces in Chicago yesterday. District
Attorney Sims and his assistants are
straining every nerve to regain the
$29 100000 fine which slipped through
their fingers in the decision of the
court Of appeals. The government
prosecutor realizes that to go to trial
again would, even in the event Of
conviction, mean a smaller fine. He
therefore baags his hopes on the
theory of Attorney General Bonaparte
that the issues may be presented to
the. United States supreme court
through the application for a writ Of
certiorari. The course Of action as
now mapped out by the government
is understood to include the applica-
ton by the attorney general for a
writ of certiorari and a petition for
rehearing before the United States
court Of appeals. Mr.. Sims and his
aides, James H. Wilkerson and Harry
A. Parkin, were in telegraphic COM
munication on this subject with Mr..
Bonaparte yesterday. The local de-
partment Of the bureau Of justice
probably will devote its attention to
the application for q rehearing while
Frank B. Kellogg, who will be called
into the case ct the suggestion of
President Roosevelt, will 1t is under

be presented to the supreme court.

to the government handed down by
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals. .

In no way affects the merits of the

Stove Manufacturers Are Anticipating
the Largest Output in Years While
IN Nearly Every Line There Is
Nothing Ahead in stock.

The thousands of families which exist
ed under short rations following the
reduction are represented by several
communities where the rough pro-
duct is turned into serviceable ma
terial, and for six months they have
been anxiously waiting for this action.
John ]. Watson, Jr., treasurer and
director Of the company, said that the
announcement had been published In
all of the factories and that there
would be restoration Of money, ap-
proximating losses from the old wage
scale from July to date, which will
give the employees Of the trust none

the action Of the United States Rubber
company might result in tendency Of
other corporations to proceed with
great encouragement. VT:
It was intimated by an ofiicer Of the
company, who desired not to be quot
cd. that the business activity referred
to, wherein the United States Rubber
company was taking money out of its
treasury to reimburse its employees,
was due entirely to the increased
business Of the company over what
had been anticipated.
It ie also understood that other
rubber interests will follow the initia-
tive of the Rubber trust. There are
more than ten thousand employees Of
the other rubber companies who will
doubtless be affected shortly because
Of the action taken by the United
States Rubber company.
