COOK MORAL NOT
POLITICAL ISSUE
Rev. c. N. LathrOp Says Re-
election of Judge Would
BE a Dish0nor'
John w. Sweeney Bares Forces
of Graft Behind the
Candidate

Judge Cooks candidacy is not a po-
litical but a moral question. for the
good citizens of San Francisco to de-
eide To re-elect Judge Cook would
be a dishonors- In these words Rev
c. N. Lathrop summed up stirring ar
raignment of Carroll Cooks record on
the superior bench before the church
federation last night.
Lathrop followed John W. Sweeney,
labor leader. who was the principal
speaker at Hamilton square church.
Sweeney asserted that all the forces
of graft were lined up behind Cook
and that the way to defeat them and
their candidate for judge was to vote
the good government judicial ticket
straight.
Sweeney contended against split tick
cts. arguing that it might result in
division of the vote and possibly the
election of Carroll Cook.
Sweeney in the course of his remarks
also paid his respects TO the local or
gan of the Calkins syndicate. charging
that the political reporter of that paper
received his salary from Abe Ruef.
Sweeney further alleged that Herrin
owned large block of stock in the
concern.
Rev. c. n. Lathrop. in behalf of the
good government league ticket. de-
cIared that the defeat of Judge Carroll
Cook was a moral duty lying on every
citizen.
Lathrop read from the decision of
the supreme court in the case of Pons
VS. Whitman. in which Judges Lorrigan
and Angellotti. the other judges con-
curing, dissolved an injunction granted
to Pons, a Barbary coast dive keeper,
by Judge Cook. restraining the police
from entering his den. In that de-
eision the court grilled Cook for grant
ing the injunction.
Il do not want to make any per-
sonal references to any candidate" said
Lathrop, "but that report speaks for
itself and makes Judge Cooks candi-
dacy not political question but a
moral one for the good citizens of San
Francisco county to decide. To re-

TAFT COLLAPS[S
DURING SPEECH
Candidate Unable to Finish
Brooklyn Address and Is
Placed Under Doctors Care
WhirIwind Day of Campaigning
in New York Proves Too
Much for Judges Strength
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

NEW YORK. Oct. 26.-Judge Taft
collapsed tonight at the Academy Of
Music in Brooklyn during a fervid re-
ply to the recent attack of President
Gompers on the Roosevelt administra-
ton.
Speaking from the first with painful
difficulty, his utterances more and more
frequently interrupted by coughing
spells, Taft's voice grew hoarser and
inoarser until it sank to an almost in
audible whisper.
Then came the breakdown Henry
w. Taft. who had been watching his
brother with growing anxiety. motioned
TO a physician with the Taft party. and
as the candidate stopped. exhausted,
they literally pushed him to the back
of the stage.
Taft was hurried out of the academy
and into an autpmobile and brought
with ali possible dispatch to the home
of his brother IN Manhattan, where he
was at. once placed under medical care.
Tafts first day of active campaign
ing on his present visit TO this section
was carried on with vigor and earnest
ness. While the day, despite its call
for a speech of some length in New
Haven and a shorter one at Portches-
ter on the return trip to New York,
republican candidate, the calls that
were made upon him in Brooklyn to-
night were such as TO keep him active
ly occupied every moment.
When he entered that portion of
Greater New York late this afternoon
he found himself. fairly overwhelmed
with engagements. Before the night
was over he had accomplished five
speeches, eaten dinner with a hundred
prominent republicans as the guest of
Republican State Chairman Timothy J..
Woodruff, reviewed a parade and then
attended a reception at the Union
League club.
The feature of the trip into Connecti-
cut was the New Haven meeting,
where, with football enthusiasm, the
candidate was pledged the support OF
a large portion of the student body of
Yale, through the presentation Of a
handsomely bound memorial containing
many pages of signatures.

Butler excused so cent gas in the

IL was 60 cent gas or death. and the
company was not ready TO die. He did

Interurban's Plans.

The Capital News quotes w. E.
Pierce, of the Interurban railroad.
as saying that it is quite probable
that extension work of the electric
line will be taken up next SUM
mer. The preliminary survey
work will be started early next
spring. 1t has been the intention
of the road to build branch of its
line into Pearl to tap the mir i lg
region in that vicinity. Another
proposed extension is out of Cald-
we'll towards and possibly over
the Snake river. The object of
laying rails to the Snake river is
to handle the river traffic which
is going en- between various points
between this stream The traffic
would be greatly increased
if transportation facilities can bel
obtained at some we'll located
point on the river. There are a
number of fine ranches located
along the Snake, as we'll as numcr
Gus towns which would assist in
increasing this traffic. Mr.. Pierce
was not inclined to state in which
particular section the company
intends to take its extension work.
This will be matter which will
be definitely settled later.

Hi Henry, the we'll known min
ing man of the Pearl district, is
very enthusiastic over the coal de-
posits at Horseshoe Bend. To the
Statesman he talked the other day
of the development of his coal mine
at Horsehsoe Bend and said he
had fond hopes of some time in
the near future bringing coal to
Boise that could be sold at not
more than S. per ton. Mr.. Henry
revealed a pet scheme, which he
said he hopes to secure funds with
which to carry it out, which
sounds like tale from fairyland.
He has give some thought, he
said, to the construction of tram
way from his mine 20 miles to
Boise, through which to shoot coal
onto the Boise market. He inti-
mated that there was a strong pos
sibility of the scheme being carried
out. Mr.. Henry said his coal
mine Is showing up we'll. He has
run all the tunnels he will run for
some time and is now driving
slope to get the depth. Only a
few days ago new ledge, 25 feet
wide. was encountered of excellent
quality coal. Mr.. Henry is on his
way East to interest capital in his
mine in order to carry on develop
ment work more extensively.

The president of the United

The state of Idaho and its people

any of the surrounding states. Our
material well being is assuredly cause
FOR Thanksgiving.
Fortunately our blessings are not
measured alone by notable material
prosperity. AS people, we have been
protected during the past year from
pestilence and disease. Good health
has been our portion, and peace
reigns. We have been favored so
abundantly by the Almighty that
hearts should 90 out to him in |
thanksgiving and praise.
Therefore, | now declare Thurs
lay, November 26, 1908, a day of |
general Thanksgiving and request

Cost of Republican Campaign

New York, Nov 2.-When the
report of Treasure Sheldon OF the
national republican committee, is
filed with the state auditor it will
be found that the republican CAM
paign fund was 81, 700, 900. Taft's
brother, Charles, con tributed
$160 900. Carnegie, Morgan,
Whitelaw Reid and William Nell
son Cromwell each gave $25, 900.
Four years ago the fund was $4, 00O-
600, and eight years ago sS. 600. 600.
The statement is to be complete, in,
ciudIng the report of F. w. Up
ham, assistant treasurer, who was
in charge Of the west. The latter
collected half million. ! Adolf
phus Busch, of ST. Louis; R. c.
Kerns, OF St. Louis, and w. c.
Dickey. of Kansas City, each gave
$4,000. Outside of these amounts
the fund was made up of small

that the support of the campaign
did not come from the railroads

interests.
