ways Meeting.
BOTH ON THE PROGRAM
Thousands of Delegates Repre-.
senting Many States
Attending.

was directed to the opening of the
lakes-to-gulf deep waterways conven,
tion today when the republican and
democratic nominees for the presi
dency arrived in Chicago preparatory
to doing their part in the gathering
toward promoting a deep waterway
project that will link the great lakes
with the ocean.

Bryan was the first to arrive. He
was greeted at the station by dele
cation that included officials of both
the waterways convention and the
democratic national committee.
Two hours later Taft received a sim
liar greeting with an escort to the con-
vention hall, where he delivered The
first of the notable speeches that will
mark the three days of the sessions.
Auditorium Filled.
When the convention was called to
order every delegate seat was filled,
and the galleries of the Auditorium
pearance of Taft, who was introduced
by Governor Deneen, was the signal
for an ovation that lasted for many
minutes. With the exception of the
speech by President Kavanaugh, out
lining the work of the association and
the success it had attained, only official
business occupied the convention until
the introduction of Taft.

largest and most important in the his
tory of the organization. The meet
ing is particularly notable this year
because it is to be addressed by both
of the chief candidates for the presi
dency of the United States. At 11:3
O'Clock this morning the delegates lis
tened to William H. Taft, while to
morrow, at the same hour, they will
hear William J. Bryan.

TOSS EGGS AT EVANGELIST
Monmouth People Angered When "Dis-
closures" Are Not Made.

Monmouth, H., Oct. 7.-William
Thompson, said to have been a Cath
olic priest at one time, who has been
conducting a series of evangelistic

lecture last night on Priests, Women,
Confessional; or Why Priests Should
We'd" The announcement caused con-
siderable excitement and the evening
previous to the lecture, it is alleged,
an effort was made to kidnap the evan
gelist. He, however, eluded his would
be captors. The news increased the
interest in the lecture and an immense
audience greeted the man. However
sensational features were omitted. Mr.
Thompson was guarded to his board
ing place by the police, but a large
number of men and boys followed and
hurled eggs at him. One of the lead
ers was arrested and probably other
arrests will follow.

most of whom lean to republicanism,
said:
The sentiment expressed by Mr..
Longworth was that Taft should be
elected president for eight years,
after that Roosevelt should be re-
elected for eight years, and after that
Mr.. Sherman should get the Office.
The only portion of his statement that
seemed to be uttered humorously was
that referring to his own modesty.'
Editor Simpson of The Argus said:
&c The remarks of Congressman
Longworth were of so remarkable
character that anyone who heard them
is certain to recall his statements
Nick Possible Succcssors
Congressman Mckinney of this dis
trict, acting as chairman, introduced
Congressman Longworth. Congress
man Mckinney concluded by saying
that he wanted to introduce Congress
man Longworth as man who waA
likely in the not far distant future to
be the occupant Of the presidential
chair himself.
after making few Introductory
remarks Congressman Longworth said
he felt it his duty to thank Congress
man Mckinney for starting to boom
him for an office to which he does
not aspire.
