Illinois will not have over per cen

PRETTY MESS, THIS
Secretary Loeb and General
Wright Put in Ananias Class
by the President
OVER WEST POINT HAZERS
Executive in Statement Says he Never
Came to Any Decision Notwith-
standing Contrary Reports.

Oyster Bay, L. l., Aug. 4.-President
Roosevelt reversed himself again yes
Iterday on the matter of the dismissal
of the eight West Point cadets accused
| of hazing. In a statement which is
considered remarkable when all the
facts in the case are considered, the
president puts both Secretary Loeb
and General Luke E. Wright, the secre-
| tary of war, in the Ananias class, and
says he has taken no action in the
cadets case whatever, but is waiting
on Secretary Wright to come to some
decision in the matter.
| The statement was given out yester-
day afternoon by Assistant Secretary
Forester, Secretary Loeb being away
on his vacation.
| Text of the Statement,
| 1t is as follows:
| "No action whatever has been taken
| by the president in the cases of the
cadets, the statements that they were
loriginally ordered dismissed and that
they had been ordered kept being
lCqually erroneous. An appeal was
Originally made to the president to in
lterfere. He declined to take any ac
ton or to interfere in any way until
the secretary of war had expressed his
jopinion, the view of the department
then being, seemingly, that the cadets
fshould be turned out, but the secretary
not having come to any decision.
Wanted to Talk 1t Over.
"The secretary then notified ths
president that instead of making any
lreport he would like to discuss Tho
, matter with the president in person
He accordingly came and the discus
, sion was held, but no final decision
The was not able to make final ant
Idefinite recommendation as to all tn,
} cases, and preferred to make none a.
regards any until he could do it as re
CARDS all. The president has not ye
, heard finally from the secretary, ant
therefore, of course, he came to n,
! final decision.
This is the first announcement tha
the president has made in the matte
at all, and he has never at any tim
, come to any decision one way or tn
; ,other excepting to state that he woul
probably follow the views of the dc
partment."
Loeb and Wright Statements.
The presidents statement is a diree
contradiction to the statements of bot

TAFT USES PHONOCRApH, COPYING
DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN METHODS
Bryan in Statement Says Doubtless This Plan OF Reaching
Voters Will be Henceforth Considered Dlgaifsd
by Republican Press.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Aug. A.
The use of the phonograph by Candi-
date Taft as a means of dissemina-
tion of his speeches excited the live
liest interest of William ]. Bryan so
much so he today gave out the fol
lowing statement i'll regard to it;
VIII Quit Their. .Joshine Ntss.
Republican papers have been max
ing fun of me for using the phono-
graph as a means of reaching the pub
lie, but since the republican candidate
has followed the example | presume
the criticism will cease and that this
will now be regarded as a dignified
method of discussing public questions
1t looks as if the democrats were
going to have a hard time this year
protecting their patents from infringe
ment.
The republicans seem bent upon
initiating not only our platform but
|our campaign methods. There is
however, some advantage in the fact
we are setting the pattern this year
Pleased With Fusion.
Bryan was very much pleased oyel
the decision of Secretary of State
Junkin confirming the fusion of the
democrat and peoples party This
will have the effect of throwing ;
large number of populist votes to the
democratic electors in Nebraska.
