UNPRECEDENTED
BALL RECORD
Less Than Two Points Now
Separate the Three Lead
ing Contestants

New York. Oct. 3.-Greater uncer-
tainty than ever in the ultimate out
come of the almost unprecedented
close race for the National league
pennant has come as the result of
yesterdays games. Through double
header victory Pittsburg squeezed into
first place with a lead of less than a
full point over New York, and Chi
cago in third place, Is only single
point lower down in the percentage
table. Thus less than two full points
now separates the three leaders in
the race. Even thought in the second
place, New York still has slight ad-
vantage as they sill have four games
to play before the close of the season,
while Pittsburg and Chicago have on
ly two each. Should New York win
all four games the pennant would fly
at the Polo grounds another year.
But II either Pittsburg or Chicago do
win all their games, New York must
win all OF hers to, in order to capture
the coveted rag.

for Welfare Of People.

Washington. Oct. 3.-"I feel that no
gathering could take place fraught
with greater hope for the welfare of
the people at large than this assem-
blage."
This was President Roosevelt's
parting greeting to the delegates to
the Sixth Triennial International
Congress on tuberculosis which fina-
ally adjourned today to meet in Rome,
Italy, in 1911. The president had not
been expected to attend the congress
and his appearance was greeted with
tremendous applause. The president
thanked the delegates on behalf of the
nation for what they had done and
were doing to stamp out the great
white plague. "You have come here"
said the president, ito combat what
on the whole is most terrible scourge
OF all throughout the world. The
chance to control that disease lies in
the work Of just such men as these
who are assembled here"
| The president declared that the
medical scientists have shown just
as much heroism in fighting against
tuberculosis as ever was shown by the
soldier on the field of battle. He de-
clared that In no other manifestation
of human activity have results been
quite so far reaching as in the ability
to grapple with disease. Just before
the congress was brought to a close
q number of imnortant resolutions
were adopted, the most notable Of
which places the congress on record
in favor of recognizing the possibility
Of the infection Of bymsn beings by
bovine tubercuiosfs. fs tsafF o'.f

Fargo. Oct. 3.-Senator Hansbrough.
who has spent the last six weeks
among the Minnesota lakes fishing and
recuperating, came from Minneapolis
on the Taft special and remained over
in Fargo couple of days. His health
has greatly improved and he was
warmly greeted here by his many
friends who came to Fargo to see and
hear Judge Taft. The senator has
placed himself at the disposal Of the
republican state committee and will
fill a number of speaking dates dur
ing the campaign. Chairman Johnson
called upon him at his hotel to talk
over the details of the senator's itin-
erary.
As between Marshall and Johnson
the, senator said he did not think Il
was necessary for him to make dec
laration as to his choice. but az to his
own political fortunes the senator did
not hesitate to say that he would be .
candidate for the United States sem
ate at the Republican primaries year
from next June. On this point he
agreed to be quoted as follows,
Il am better pleased over the good
prospects for a complete restoration
to health than 1 would be to succeed
myself in the senate. I plan to come
home next spring when the senate ad-
journs and take up few business
threads that have been broken during
my public service. shall rest here
in this splendid invigorating climate
and put myself in trim for the next
senatorial campaign. My views In
regard to political affairs have not
changed in a single instance. L am
opposed to the domination Of our
politics by corporations, and especi-
ally do believe that the most hurt
full influence in this regard is that
which is exercised by the farm ma
chinery trust. North Dakota is an
agricultural state. The dissolution Of
the monopoly in farm machinery is
therefore all the more important, and
the activity in our politics. Of the
agents of this combination all the
more dangerous. The corporations
themselves are making great mis-
take in mixing up in our state primar-
les and conventions. The people as q
whole are not fighting corporations az
such. They are simply opposed to the
methods which some Of these power
full concerns have chosen to adopt in
an effort to protect" themselves
against an imaginary foe. There
should be no antagonisms between the
people and the combined elements Of
wealth such as we have witnessed In
recent years, and there would be none
If the corporations were content to
serve the public in a legitimate and
lawful way, instead Of interfering in
our politics for the purpose of con-
trolling legislation in their own be-
half"
