Kern, Back on the Stump,
Declares a Hundred Men
Boss the United States

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 27.--On a spe-
cial trolley train, John w. Kern, Demo
cratic candidate for vice-president.
spent yesterday campaigning IN the
interest OF the Democratic party from
Indianapolis to Jeffersonville, Kern re-
turned to Indianapolis late last night
and Immediately went to his home TO
make ready for today's tour. which
will take him almost on a direct line
to the northeastern part OF the state.
Kern's arguments at each town were
along the same lines. He argued that
the Republican party was trying TO
scare the voters into line by crying
panic. He declared that every unlaw-
full trust in the United States Is for
Taft.
They are wise enough to stand to-
gether," said he. IF you would do
the same thing. some 100 men. as
shown by a Republican senator. La
Toilette, would not now be In control
OF the country's industrial destiny.
They would not be threatening you
every four years with panic. There
are S0,0o0.000 OF you. viii you be con-
trolled by 1907"

values were 81 per cwt. higher. The
thrifty American housewife watches
the markets closely and the fact that
she refused TO purchase has re-
suited in the smallest consumption q.
meat in October that has been known
for many years.
Stocks of dressed meat have been
pillng up In the coolers OF the coun.
try until the trade is ready to make a
reduction in prices to avoid "a more
serious loss. Detroit has had two
large arrivals of cattle during the cur.
rent month and the close last week
was AT the bottom for the fall, and
even at that nearly 200 head Of cattle
were carried over uusUfd. Present
conditions will soon give place to
a better market AS far as can
be learned, only few cattle are
being prepared for the holiday trade
and higher values and an active de-
mand for good beeves may be con
fidently looked for at that time.
Lambs broke several records, slid

HOUSE DEMOCRATIC BY
81, PREDICTS LLOYD

CHICAGO. Oct. 27.-The house will
be Democratic by n probable majority
OF 81. and possibly more. In the opin-
ion OF James T. Lloyd. chairman OF
the Democratic congressional cam
paign committee! Lloyd says:
The present congress consists OF
Ssl members. There have been cleo
lions In Oregon and Maine. end six
Republicans have been chosen from
these sta,ey. or the 5S5 yet 10 be
elected. II Is reasonably sure that there
will be 1873 Democrats and l26 Re-
publicans.
This leaves 90 districts 20 be class
correct, all the doubtful districts may
yet be given TO the Republicans. and
yet the Democrats would have a ma
jority OF seven. but OF the doubtful
districts our Judgment Is that the
Democrats have at least an equal
chance. and may probably elect as
many as 80 additional members out OF
this class for Democracy. which would
make a total OF 229 Republicans and
162 Republicans. Democratic major
ity OF 81.
THE principal gains would be In
the northern Mississippi valley and In
New York and Pennsylvania. The
reason for the gain is due TO the dis
satisfaction OF the people with exist
Ing political conditions, and their dis
gust AT the autocratic rule of the pres
ent speaker OF the house OF represen-
tatives.'

Quaker City Preachers
Reused at the Idea Of
Cannon Speaking There

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 27.-Minis-
tiers of several denominations paid
their respects to Speaker Cannon when
they heard he was coming to this city
to address Republican rallies.
ut is mistake for the Republican
party to bring him here" said Rev.
DIR. Samuel NJ. Vernon, pastor OF the
West York-St Methodist Episcopal
church. Cannon Is an impeachment TO
the party, and his arguments will
throw votes TO the Democratic candi-
date. His speeches will do more harm
than good to Mr.. Taft"
Rev. III. Cresson McHenry, OF the
Protestant Episcopal City mission, was
outspoken In his criticism Of Mr.. Can
non. Il think that q large number OF
Episcopalians would rejoice with me
to see Cannon defeated he said. His
trust connections and his dictatorial
policy In congress have antagonized
American citizens"
Rev. John Mayhem Fulton, OF the
PRESBYTERIAN church, declared that he
would rather see Cannon defeated than
any other man now before the people
for election to ONCE.

TAFT'S RELIGION is
DEFENDED BY A PASTOR

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Taft's Uni
tarianism was the indirect subject OF
sermon In the Unitarian church OF the
Messiah, at East Thirty-fourth-st. and
Park-ave.. by Rev. John Haynes
Holmes. He said In part:
For the first time In more than 100
years this country Is In the midst of
a political campaign In which relig-
ion has been raised as an Issue against
one of the candidates, William How
ard Taft is Unitarian, while William
Jennings Bryan Is consistently Pres
byterian. Mr.. Taft comes by his Uni
tarianism naturally. His father, Al
fonso Taft. was one of the founders
of the Unitarian church In Cincinnati.
The Methodist Episcopal church
has been agitating the proposition In
many quarters that no man who .,on-
sidered himself Christian could vote
for Mr.. Taft. The Evangelical AL
lance of Cincinnati. with which all
but the Episcopal and liberal churches
are connected. has been the means OF
promulgating like doctrine. The Pres
byterian Alliance Is emphasizing the
line OF demarcation between the ortho-
dox church people and those who are
liberal in their views.
Now all this would be very anus
ing were 1t not so serious. We are
living In the twentieth century, but
the flames Of religious bigotry have
not been extinguished, and liberation
today Is for those on the inside and

Democratic party.--Nov. ., 1900.
William j. Bryan possesses moth
ing but a gift to influence minds.
Nov. 3. 1900.
Roger c. Sullivan. the Democratic
committeeman from Illinois
has expressed himself with great
vehemence about Mr.. Bryan. This IL
what he said on Sept. z. 1906. In an
interview In Chicago:
He tried TO be a lawyer. he was
a failure at IL. He tried to be
newspaper EDITOR he was fall
ure az that. He y now man
OF property. AS fortunes go, he IL
a rich man. He made every dol
lar OF his fortune out ~ politics
as a stepping stone to the lecture
platform. Like the actresses VINO
have discarded the stolen dia-
muuds fods--feF-tAe greater pup--
licity OF divorce suit, Mr.. Bryan
will quit running for president
and will quit politics just rs soon
as he discovers that some otnsr

when he Is announced TO appear on
the stage.

reduction IL the feeder division Ia on
about the same scale. Breeding ewes
are being peddled at values 81 per
head lower than those that prevailed
last year for the same kind OF stock.
All grades OF muttop sheep are duh
and slow at the lowest prices that have
been known for several years.
All this In the face of the fact that
the demand for wool is extremely &C.
tive end prices are rapidly working Ia
higher levels. The present seems like
an opportune time for farmers, who
have not kept sheep In the past. TO
buy Few and start a flock.
While hog prices had marked re-
action toward higher levels week
the change was not permanent and
values are again on the downgrade.
For the first time In many weeks. the
east wanted hogs badly and the ship-
ping demand in the big markets iste
last week made the packer contingent
bid up little or lose them II Is
quite possible that hog values may
decline some farther. but Il is general.

with the habits OF the market, tina,
values have about touched bottom for
this year.

Bv r. C.. ShOTWElL.

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-Stocks were
very strong In the early trading today.
Under the leadership OF Southern Pa
cifc, Union Pacific, Steel and the cop
per shares, there was a quiet but duli
advance. London sent over good
prices. but showed no enthusiasm.
The expectation that the steel trust
would make an announcement THIS
afternoon. showing earnings OF above
$26,000,00O net for the third quarter
was the sustaining factor OF the
metal shares. The insiders are very
builish On Steel because they expect
tremendous orders to come In immed-
lately after election.
Copper shares are strong because
the war scare In Europe has caused
the manufacturers OF ammunition 70
clean up the London metal market
thoroughly. The price OF copper metal
will advance gradually from now on.
The Hartman shares are under the
influence OF mysterious rumors OF a
tremendous deal TO be announced
shortly after election. Rock Island
shares are also marked for further ad'
vances on deal rumors.
c. q s. Divided.
Colorado a. Southern will declare
dividend on its common stock as soor
as the election is over. There is every
reason for expecting the stock market
to continue strong and steady for the
next two weeks at least. Profession
ais have been selling short and some
nervous traders on the long side Oh
the market have been taking pron,s
but 10 tIneasiness is manifested In the
camp of the bull campaigners.
All these optimistic rumors found
their reelection in the stock market In
advances OF an average OF one point
throughout the list. Several stocks
made new high figures for the present
movement, notably Union Pacific at
1713-S. and Southern Pacific at lO9.
The copper shares were strong with
advances of about point. Readins
rose one point. st. Paul, "a, ROCK
Island "a, Northern Pacific IA and
Great Northern preferred 5-S.
On the curb market trading was
moderately active with the Cobalt
shares and Goldfield Consolidated the
strong features.

Mr.. p. ii. Mills of the Royal Uniyer.
sity OF Ireland and recent Senior
Mathematical Master OF st. Martins
College Of York. England, has come
to Detroit TO accept the principalship
OF Miles College. Mr.. Mills career
speaks for the thoroughness OF his
dictatorship. Under him the students
at St. Martins College were prepared
for the Universities Of Oxford and
Cambridge. and also for the examina-
tions of the British Civil Service.
When presented for their examinations
in Advanced Mathematics, last July,
each student passed with honors. One
Of these boys was but eleven years of
age-the youngest student to acquire
his standing in all England. Such
results point to the successful out
come of work done under such an In
structor as Mr.. Mills has proven him
self to be.
Mr.. Mills will give his especial ef-
forts to the Civil Service department
and also TO the training OF students In
advanced Mathematics In Miles Col
lege.
