New York Market News

The market situation is i'm
proving. The analysis made IN
this column last week was an
entirely sound and correct one,
as has been proven by the course
of stocks since. The market is
now materially higher and even
the most careless student OF
market conditions can see that
there is no danger of any slump
or even of any noteworthy reac-
ton. There isno inherent weak
ness to make for any long con-
tinued decline. The only thing
which hangs over the investment
market is the election. If 1t
were out of the way, there would
be no important halt in the
steady upward climb. Financial
New York is now firmly of the
opinion that so far as the busl-
ness recovery is concerned it will
make no difference whether TAFT
or Bryan is elected. Everything
points strongly toward the easy
election of Taft, but even If ne
is beaten the wheels of progress
will not be blocked.

The first movement is in a
nolitical way occurred in Pioche
Monday last, the occasion being
a visit from Senator Francis G.
Newlands. Preparations had
been made by the local democra-
ey to receive the distinguished
visitor, and from the time he
alighted from the train a demon
stration was started which lasted
far into the evening, and clearly
demonstrated the esteem in
which the senator is held by the
voting populace of Pioche.
At the train the senator was
met by a committee of local DEM
ocrats, and taken in an automo
mobile to the Cecil hotel, where
he was entertained during his
stay here.
At. $50 a good sized audience
had congregated at Thompson's S
opera house to hear the senator's
address. He was introduced In
a very neat speech by Chas. Lee

Tor years past, has there been a
political rally and demonstration
equal to that of last Tuesday
evening. From the time of the
glimpse of the incoming passen-
ger train, ablaze with colored
fire, four miles distant, until the
parsonage of the candidates
stepped into the coach the next
morning at $50 o'clock, the To-
cal republicans of Pioche had not
an idle moment.
At the depot were II. E. Freu-
denthal, DR.. j. d. Campbell,
John G. Brown and Eugene
Goodrich as a reception commit
tee, accompanied by the Pioche
brass band, and as the train
rolled in, a rousing musical and
social reception was given P. l..

The two members who voted against

Fourfh District Convention.
The Fourth congressional district
convention. which was held yesterday
at Usage City, chose A. H. Wheeler of
Marion and Harry Hagaman of Onaga
al delegates to the national conven-
ton. The alternates were d. c. Lake
of Usage City and w. H. Melrose Of

G. H. Lamb of Yates Center was
chairman of the convention and Chas.

Long men of the state. He pulled
out of the fight with Hoch before he
was licked; in fact, he might have won
that fight If he had just stood by his
guns. Now he has pulled out OF this
fight with Stubs when his best friends
have assured him that he would carry
every district in the state but the
Fourth. The crowd which they call
the machine has not been frightened
by this big talk about Stubs. We
knew that If Bailey would get out and
fight, he could lick Stubs at every
jump in the road. We conceded noth-
ing to Stubbs except the Fourth dis
trict, and it is an actual fact that
Bailey in a popular vote would have
carried every district but the Fourth

State Committee Held Meeting.
The members of the Republican state
committee held a meeting Tuesday ev-
ening at the Copeland. for the purpose
of putting a spike into the contesting
delegations from Shawnee and Nc
PherSon counties.
= In Shawnee and Mcpherson the
county central committee chose the
delegates to the state convention, after
which the dissatisfied Republicans held
county conventions and chose contest
ing delegations. The machine wanted
to get these contesting delegations dis
posed of as far as possible before the
meeting of the convention.
The committee, by vote of 26 to 2,
voted to instruct the secretary, Clyde
Miller, to put the names of the dele
gates elected by the county commit
tees on the temporary roll of the con-
vention, and allow the convention it,

ant Governor Fitzgerald to take up the
Bailey boom, and put 1T on his own
shoulders This proposition Mr.. Fitz-
gerald declined, firmly and kindly.
There was time when Mr.. Fitzgerald
might have been willing to get into the
race. but he feels, it is said, that IN

threw him off the track, and that 1t IS
now too late to try to get him back on
After this Mulvane dinner party dis
solved. there were a series OF very I'M
portant conferences at the Copeland
and at the Topeka club, the OBJECT OF
which was to find some one to enter the
fight against Stubbs.
There was some talk of handing the
boom over to Senator w. S. Fitzpatrick
himself. the leader of the senate lodge,
and making square toed issue be-
tween machine and square deal. some
think that the machine will take up

Hard Blow to Long.
The withdrawal of Bailey from the
race Is a hard blow to Senator Long,
and his friends admit this to be the
case.
er that it is absolutely necessary to get
some strong and active man into the
race for governor, and do this at once
The reason for this extreme anxiety
to have a fight made for the Office of
governor is not so much in the hope of
beating Stubbs as it is to draw fire
from Long. The friends of Long
don't like the idea of having Stubbs
running without much if any opposi-
tion. It means that the whole fight in
the state would center on Long, and
this would be exceedingly dangerous
to his chances. There must be some-
body in the race against Stupps 10

Others said that he would not run be-
