international controversies or abdi-

speech Friday night on the political

Announcement that the Century

alarm throughout the nation. 1t is
feared that the interview will prove
another London Telegraph affair and
again involve Germany in political
complications.
1t is reported that the German en-
bassy at Washington has been re-

ascertain the exact text of the inter-
view, and if any of it is found obiec-

So excited are the people over the

suggested that a public subscription

of the recent interview between the

to the kaiser many statements, the
sentiment of which was resented both
in Germany and the other European

st. Louis show that the Republicans
still have an excellent change to lect
five and possibly six men on their
state ticket, including Gov. Hadley,
of whose election there is no question.
The other Republicans likely to win
are Gmelich for lieutenant governor,
Swanger for secretary of state, Toler-
ton for state auditor, and Fulkerson
for attorney general. Maring for state
treasurer has a lead of 1873 over Cow
gill (Dem.) but as the seven counties
unreported gave a net plurality of Sit
for Bryan, his election is doubtful.
Wilder for railroad and warehouse
commissioner is running 1409 behind
Knott, his Democratic, opponent, while
Cox, for supreme judge, is 800 behind
Graves. Neither of these is at all
likely to forege to the front in the
seven counties.
