Row In Republican Committee

CHICAGO. Oct. 3.-It was estab-
lished that within republican inner
circles there is quite a fierce cOntro-
versy raging over President Roose-
velt's interference in the Taft cam
paign. One element thinks it would
help Taft and another holds that
Roosevelt's attitude will belittle the
judge.
Some members of Roosevelt's cabi-
net advised against his letter writing
and the national committee has been
thrown into utter confusion thereby.
Many plans which had been formed
are now being abandoned because the
president made it impossible to carry
them out.

Indians Re ally
Run For Office

SANTA FE, n. NJ, Oct. "a lit
eral illustration Of running for office"
and one which might add interest if
adopted by the palefaces in their po-
litical campaigns will be a feature of
the celebration of the feast of San
Geronimo at Taos today. In accordance
with custom, relay race will decide
the governor of the pueblo for the en-
suing year.
For days hordes of Utes, Navajos,
Apaches and Mexicans have been gath
ering at the quaint pueblo of Taos for
this great redskin event. The custO-
mary quiet that broods over Taos val
ley has been broken by the incoming
bands of Indians from all over the
southwest, and today theI festival of
their patron saint reaches it's enthu-
siastic elimination. The feast is eel
ebratej on the last day of September
of every year.
The San Geronimo, or st. Jerome,
celebration today begins with a SER
mon by a black-robed Indian priest, to
which the Indians listen with marked
attention and respect.
In the, plaza Is a pine tree pole, so
feet in height, and from a crosspiece
near the top bangles a live sheep.
Beside the sheep, a garland Of such
fruit and vegetables as the valley pro-
duces, together with a basket Of bread
and grain, hangs from the pole.
The bell in the little adobe chapel
sounds and the Indians go into mass.
After the devotional exercises are con-
cluded a procession is formed and
marches to the race track, which is a
quarter of a mile in length. The run
ners, of whom there are fifty, are
naked except for a breech cloth, and
are painted no two alike.
Fifty other runners to contest with
these arrive from the pueblo across
the dividing stream. Two runners from
each side dart down the track No
sooner do they reach the goal than two
others start off, and thus for two
hours the races continue in relays of
twos. The victorious side is given the
privilege of electing the governor for
both pueblos for the ensuing year.
In the afternoon dances by hide
ously painted clowns and mirthmakers
are followed by attempts to climb the
pole, which is at last accomplished,
the sheep, fruit and grain are lowered
to the ground and carried off, and ST.
Jerome is supposed to rejoice in the
happy conclusion of the festival in his
honor

Mack adds: Sheldon is president

tor of the American Locomotive com-
pany, and the Republic Iron & Steel
company
All Of the concerns mentioned are
more or less identified with the inter

of them are believed to oe controlled

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
 WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard of this terrible disease? It prevails in that far-away country-Africa-e especially the Congo district. It is caused by the bite of the tsetse fly. When 1t bites a person, the sleeping symptoms begin and finally the sufferer sleeps until death occurs.
 Contrast this with the peaceful, balmy sleep of health Is there any, thing more wearing than to lie awake at night. tossing about, nervous, with cold feet. hot head and mercy knows what else? Short of letting the tsetse fly bite us we would do almost any thing for relief. How can we pre- vent 1t? Mir. George Hayes, of Union City, Pa. writes: 'T had lost my appetite, was all rundown, could not sleep nights. had tried every thing without relief. Vinol was rec commended, and to my surprise. 1t helped me at once; gave me a splendid appetite, and now I sleep soundly"
 What Vinol did for Mir Hayes, 1t will do for every rundown, nervous and overworked person who cannot sleep.
