LARGEST KITE IN THE WORLD

Bryan, o., Aug. 24.-There is a Re
publican city of 5000 in the heart of
Ohio where every man is a Bryanite.
over these Bryanites now waves an
enormous Taft banner. The Bryan
ties are thus labeled not through love

they hail from the city of Bryan. Over

Taft's friends claim that the Taft

Taft will be on top next November,
while Bryan's friends are equally in

that the Taft campaign is in the air
and that of Bryan based on bed rock
is bound to win.
Mrs. Bingham is a native of Hicks

Mrs. Bingham has always been an

grown until he is one of the greatest
freight handlers in the country. His
string of establishments spread from
Buffalo to Milwaukee. He says he is
the largest employer of individual la
Dor in the country and his weekly pay
roll averages from 1000 to 5000 men.
Conners's career in freight handling
has been most spectacular. He has
had to deal with probably the tough
est class of men on earth. But Con-
ners has been tough enough for the
toughest proposition he has ever had
to face. He has been through a re-
markable strickland won it. He has
been through another strike and lost
it, but he has made capital out of both.
In the course of the latter trouble q
story is told which is highly sugges-

end of his trouble in which he had
been beaten, he went into the street

back. Down the street came a Pole,

THIRD CONFERENCE.
Hitchcock Meets Committeeman of
the New England States.

Boston, Aug. 24.-The third of the
big district conferences which are a
feature of the management of the Re-
publican campaign by Chairman
Frank H. Hitchcock. In being held
here today at the Hotel Touraine. At
this meeting all of the national COM
mitteemen OF the New England states
are present. Greater Importance Is at
tached to the gathering than those
held in Colorado Springs and Chicago
because of the early elections in YER
mont and Maine and the effect that
strong campaigning in these states
will have on other sections.
The conference Is chiefly for the
purpose of arranging details of the
ca mpaign such as assignment OF
speakers, the gathering of funds to
carry on the work, the distribution Of
literature and other routine matters.
The state leaders will make known
their wants in relation to speakers
and literature and the national COM
mittee will meet the demands as far as
possible.
Many strong speakers have been as
signed to Vermont and Maine already
and others popular in these states will
be sent there as rapidly as they be-
come available. A strong effort will
be made to hold the Republican vote
recorded in 1904, in order to influence
voters in other parts of the country.
At the opening of the conferences
Mr.. Hitchcock made a brief state
ment. He explained that it had been
decided to have sent to national head
quarters reports upon the effective
ness of speakers and he said there
should be no hesitance on the part of
the directors Of this branch of the
work to withdraw any speakers who
failed to make a good impression.
Mr.. Hitchcock will spend tomorrow
forenoon in Portland, Me-, and later
in the day will go to Vermont.

But Corners has made himself a pow

Personally he is study. Will Irwin
described his features recently in Col

His face is solid and hard and

a swapping turtle mouth, wide, thin

neck craned forward and this came
out: "Say anything about Corners, but
