feature of his address was in handling the
subject of the beet sugar industry, which

TAFT TURNS TO
THE EASTWARD
Republican Candidate for Pres
ident Makes Speech in
Denver Auditorium.

Denver. Oct. I'm the same building
the Denver Auditorium-in which William
J. Bryan was nominated for the presi-
dency last July. William Fl. Taft tonight
addressed a tremendous throng. setting
forth reasons and arguments why the
Nebraskan should not be elected.
Mr.. Taft's entry into Denver was under
most inspiring political conditions. His
stay in the city was but for three hours,
and every preliminary to the big street
parade and its attending spectacular fea-
lures had been most carefully arranged
so that when the Taft special pulled into
the Union station the town had on par
ticularly bright red glare. The streets
were prOfuseiy Illuminated and had not
been so densely populated since the Demo-
cratic convention departed.
The candidate was at once made part
of the festivities. In an automobile he
was given the place of honor in the pa
rade and bowed his acknowledgements to
shouts. and plaudits along the line OF
marcEA which included the principal bust
ness streets, and ending at the splendid
Auditorium, whose entire seating capa-
city had been thrown open.

Political Action Forbidden.
Pretend to Have Influence.

Leaders of the carpenters and 1olners
union who were interviewed by Herald
reporter last night asserted that the four
men went TO the Republican party lead
ers and said that if their expenses to
Salt Lake were paid and a bonus thrown
in they had sufficient influence with the
delegates TO stop any Democratic en-
dOrSement.
The Republican leaders fell for the
game. the labor leaders say, and put up
the money The four men came to the
convention, though not one of them was
a delegate representing any union, ana
proceeded to get busy by scattering TAX
in favor of the Republican national can
didates.
AS all four of the men were union men
and brought along their union cards,
they were readily admitted 10 the con-
yention sessions. The meetings were open
only to members of the organization The
four men flashed huge rolls OF money
frequently it is said, and did not heSi-
tate 10 denounce the Democratic candl-
dates and principles at every opportu-
nifty -
The names of the four men, as FUR
nished to The Herald by leading othclals
of the carpenters and joiners, were; j.
\. Wilson. building inspector; j. W. OAR
nell. state factory inspectors r: T. clark;
former secretary of the district couhcli
of Cincinnati. and z. Edward t1tch. All

make the trip without annoyance.
During the early evening she sat
OUT on the guard enjoying the view of
water and land. Others were near
her, among them nun, u young sister
whose face made an impression upon
olivia. The nun carried prayer

whether 1t was an appearance OF holi-

led by u member of slstcrhood,
Olivia could not keep her eyes off her.
Perhaps the nun noticed the interest
she had awakened. for she drew her
chair nearer and spoke few words
In mus4,rl contralto voice. This led
to conversation, In which the sister
lamented that she must sleep In q

sister told her that she would not
crowd her by going to bed at the same
time, but would wait till her bcncfac-
tor had got into her berth Olivia
went into the stateroom. and after she
had lain down the nun came in and
instead of divesting herself of her
clothing climbed to the upper berth as
she was.
In the morning just after dawn
Olivia was awakened by the boat being
warped into the dock. Standing before
the mirror was n young man. He was
