MEET AT HARRISBURG.
Pennsylvania Republican Convention
 In the State Capital.


 In the State Capital.
 Harrisburg, Pa, April %. Ex-Speak' CT Harry F. Walton was chosen to pre- side over the Republican state convcn' ton, which met here. It is distinctly Knox convention" at which the senator will be given a strong indorse- ment for the Republican presidential nomination. The roll shows that there will be no contests. Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, state chairman, called the convention to order.
 The platform will be typical Re- publican document, indorsing the state and national administrations and call ing attention to the manner in which pledges have been kept by the party. There was some talk about tariff re- form and local option blanks, but no one could be found who would admit such intentions.
 Superior Court Judge w. D. Porter will be renominated, w. l. Schaffer of Chester making the speech, and State Chairman Andrews will be reelected. There will be chosen four delegates at large four alternates at large and two presidential electors at large. The dis trict presidential electors will be se- lected by the delegates from their home districts and the list ratified by the convention
 Although there are comparatively small crowds of spectators owing to the absence of contests over important offices, nearly all the we'll known cOun- ty leaders and prominent figures in the party throughout the state are in at- tendance.
 Pennsylvania choice for the Repub- lican nomination has written his own policies into the state platform. The two blanks in the document prepared carefully by him are those upon tariff revision and the control of corpora tions.
 Former Speaker Walton, chairman of the convention. wrote in consulta- tion with Senator Penrose some of the features of file platform.
 It was left to Senator Knox, at the request of President Roosevelt. to em- body in the platform the blanks that deal with the two leading questions of corporation control and revision of the tariff as well as the indorsement of the national administration.
 It is understood that the plank deal- ing with corporations suggests a sys- tenn of unified control and advises that the corporations of the country should be supervised by the national govern ment.
 The platform suggests tariff revision by the Republican party along the lines of readjusting the present sched- ules. Revision, as proposed by Senator Knox, would take such shape as to make the Dingley tariff law conform to present conditions It would merely change certain schedules without alter ing the law to any radical extent.
 President Roosevelt's administration is unqualfiedly indorsed. Governor Stuart, stanch Roosevelt man. insist ed that the plank on that subject should be most laud8tory.

 Miss Mitchell. having won all the biological and botanical gold medals al Cornell, collaborated with the late Dr. R. c.

 He said in substance that Miss Mitch. ell had "grafted" of the National mu. scum. using the information she had derived from its mosquito morgue iu her book and giving the museum no credit for the same. What he said literally was that she was feminine psorophorn" and scientific alltid.H Both terms mean mosquitoes that eat other mosquitoes. and Miss Mitchell took to the courts at once.
 I'm neither a plagiarist nor a na ture fakir." declared the young wo man. 'I collected All my facts iron live mosquitoes or from the valuable notes left mo by Professor Dupree. ana I'll make Dr. Dyer suffer for calling me what he did if if goes to the Unit cd States supreme court" Dr. Dyei says he'll fight back.

 "If the trial trip of my new bal loon is satisfactory, said Mir Forbes yesterday, 'I shall surely rry for the Lahm cup, going west to make the ascension. as that will be necessary to beat the record of Captain Chan dler."
 The new balloon was built espe- cially for this purpose. It was made by Leo Stevens of New York, who constructed the big government bal loon in which Theodore Roosevelt. IT. recently took his initial flight from Washington, with Captain Chandler as pilot. It is made of cot ton and linen and its large size will enable it to remain in the air long time under favorable weather condi- tions. The balloon will be shipped to North Adams to-day.

.........s.... mas .1esn as large and

perhaps little larger than in former
years. This is easily understood when
it is borne in mind that the prohibit
tionists and the other minor parties
as well have always had to depend
upon contributions from individuals
and not from corporations and men of
great wealth. At the same time the
prohibition campaign committee de-
clares itself in need of more funds.
This is illustrated by the recent state
ment of Eugene w. Chafin, the candi-
date for president, that if the prohi-
bitionists had $4,000 to spend they
could carry the state of Georgia in
the presidential election.
The activity of the Prohibitionists
in the national campaign has found a
reflection in many states and it is
predicted that in some of them the
prohibition ticket will cut quite fig
ure in the result of the election for
state officials. The Prohibitionists
have named tickets in more than half
of the states where, state officers are
to be elected week after next. A list
given out at the headquarters here
today shows the prohibition candidates
for governor as follows:
Colorado-Rev. H. L. Murray, Long
mont.
Observation-Disclosures E. O'Brien,
Bridgeport.
Idaho-W. C. Stalker, Caldwell.
Illinois-Dan R. Sheen, Peoria.
Indiana-Sumner w. Haynes, Port

Iowa-Karl w. Brown, Ames.
Kansas-Rev. Albert L. Hope, Abb
lene
Maine-James H. Ames, Bowdoin-
| ham.
sachusetts-Willard o. Wylie,

HRE AClVE
Campaign BY This Party the Most Ac.
tice and Extensive In the His
tory of the Organization.
Special to the Herald.

0pCSidi " Tic llSldih
Chicago, H., Oct. 21.-When the re,
turns of the general election are read
two weeks from today the prohibition
party leaders will be nightly sur
prised as well as disappointed if the
figures fail to show great gains for
their cause from one end of the
country to the other. The campaign
that is being directed from the pro-
hibition national headquarters in this
city is by far the most active and ex-
tensive in the history of the party. 1t
is an interesting fact that, while the
committees of both the republican
and democratic parties have been
handicapped during the present cam.
paign by lack of funds, the prohibition
