Iowa Insurgents Red Hot.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 18.-Presiden1
Taft's Winona speech was red flag in
the face Of Iowa Republican insurgents
and today has been one of angry talk.
What adds to the delicacy of the
situation is the fact that President Taft
will reach Des Moines Monday morn
ing at sunrise and is scheduled for
breakfast at the home of Senator A. B.
Cummins, leader of the Iowa lnsur-
gents and who is plainly nettled at the
bluntness with which President Taft
defended the Payne tariff law last even
ing and criticised those Republican
Senators and Congressman who voted
against the measure.
Asked for an expression concerning
the Winona speech this evening Sena-
tor Cummins declined to say anything
because of certain ''social obligations"
that he has assumed, but intimated
that after Monday he should probably
lose no time in answering the Presi-
dent.
There are threats that Mr.. Taft will
be Missed on Monday if he repeats his
Winona speech and the regular Repub-
licans are challenging the insurgents to
do their worst.
The Des Moines News, Senator Cum
mins's official organ, tonight concludes
an editorial attack upon President Taft
as follows:
"And now comes Taft and says in
substance, the party, right or wrong,
but always the party
'.He praises Aldrich as a statesman
and names him for leader of financial
and speaks good word for
Cannon and Payne.
she argues for the tariff bill, admit
ting that he got his figures from Aid
rich and Payne, men who stand elbow
to elbow with Rockefeller and Morgan.
she attacks Governor johnson, of
for arraigning the West
against the East and then makes a
speech in the West in which he places
himself squarely in line with the inter-
ests of the East and tries to justify a
tariff that was made exclusively in be-
half of the Eastern interests and in
which the interests of the West were
ignored.
"Shades of Theodore Roosevelt, may
the ghosts of the wild animals he has
killed in Africa ever haunt him for
having foisted onto the country this
man Taft"

AUTOS ARE BARRED IN BATH.
County Roads are Closed to all
Machines,

Owners of automobiles and the driv-
ers of the same will have little pleas
ure when they 60 to the Hot, Warm
or Healing Springs, in the county of
Bath. The supervisors of that county
have ordered that on and after Sept.
"a, there shall be no automobiles on
certain of the roads in that county, and
as many of the best highways are in
cluded in the order closing them to the
users of cars touring in the vicinity of
the resorts named will be considerably
restricted. The supervisors acted I'M
der the provisions of State law which
allows them to direct for what purpose
roads shall be used, the vehicles pro-
hibited from using the same, and pro-
viding penalties for those who violate
the laws.
1t has been the custom for years for
patrons of the resorts to take their ma
chimes along and to get the benefit of
drives through the mountains and
along the splendid highways. When
the law was enacted by the general
assembly under which the Bath solons
took action it was stated that in some
sections the owners of logging and saw
mill wagons were given to using the
roads with their heavy wagons at all
seasons of the year and that they did
a vast amount of damage, and no leg
islator expressed any belief that the
law would ever be made to apply to
driving of automobiles.
AS the law is general and can be ap-
piled to any county in the State, it is
not impossible that other counties may
resort to the same action, especially in
view of the fact that in some of the
agricultural sections there is great
deal of aversion to having the ma
chimes pass along the highways. The
new regulations go into effect today
and there is already move on foot to
test the validity of the order by going
to the courts. There is no restrictions
as to the driving of horses and buggies
along the roads and there are many
liverymen engaged in business in and
around those resorts.

Enlisted for the War.

"The Western Republicans, says
the st. Paul Pioneer-Press, shave made
up their minds that they are not going
to be ruled by New England for New
England. If the President gets close
enough to the real people he will find
that they have enlisted for war and
that there will be no surrender until
the Congress has been aroused to enact
legislation for the benefit of the whole
people, and not for the further larding
of the trust-fed special interests"

ELECTION STANDS.
THE CONTENTION OF THE 'swETs'
OvERRULED AND THE CASE
DROPPEn.

| DROPPED.
Tuesday the local option contested
election case came up: and argued by
Messrs. A. G. Gordon and s. d. Tim
berlake for the vets, and Capt. R. s.
Ker and Judge J. M. Quarles for the
drys. The allegation that certain per
sons voting were not on the treasurer's
list was the hope of the vets that the
election would be set aside, bnt the con-
tention was overruled by Judge Holt,
and Wednesday morning counsel for
the vets had the first ward voted re-
counted. At the conclusion of the
count Mr.. Gordon said his side had
nothing more to say, and Judge Holt
entered an order sustaining the election.
1t was intimated that the case might
be appealed. The saloons close Oct. 20,
ninety days after the election.
The courts order in the case is as fol-
lows:
H. Fl. Harlow, ct ais. VS.. H. NJ.
ACWAo Gu ais
This case came on this day to be heard
upon complaint of the contestants, as
amended and altered by the court on
demurrer, and upon the answer of the
contesters, and upon evidence, and was
argued by counsel.
On consideration whereof the court
doth order and decide that the election
held on the 22nd day of July, 1909, in
the city of Staunton, Virginia, known
as the 'local option election" was
legal and valid election and that the
said complaint be dismissed.
And the court doth further order that
the contestants do pay the costs of these
proceedings.

and say that they fully prepared. With four
hundred new candidates, both sides appear
equally confident but it is evident that the lead

on the best course to pursue. Should the House
of Lords reject the budget 1T would be extreme

double issue of reform in the House of Lords

|SPAIN FEARS A WAR
DEMANDS ON MOROCCO.
Belief That P0scers VIII Not Inter
Uene-BarcelOna Restless.

Madrid, Sept. A-The complications which have
arisen between Spain and Mulai Hahg, the Sultan
OF Morocco, are likely TO result in Spanish-M
roccan war, according belief here. Spain has
now over sixty thousand troops in Northern Africa
with eleven thousand mobilizing for service
In the Riff region. and the government feels that
only the brilliant completion of the work begun can
defeat the plans Of It's political enemies at home.
The situation at Barcelona is causing renewed
anxiety. Bomb explosions the streets occur al
most daily, and although the newspapers which
print even rumors OF violence seized by the
authorities the Minister of the Interior insists that
the government is not fighting its political enemies
but rather widespread anarchist plot. THE
charge that closed the lay schools without rea-
son is false official said to-day. '"The schools
were closed because of the preaching of anarchist
doctrines which colld not be tolerated by any gov
ernment. WheE the time shall vndi-
cate ourselves before the Cortes.''
The decision of France to disregard Mulai Hafg's
protest has caused great satisfaction here Fur
thermore, 1t is understood that the United States
Great Britain Germany and Russia will adopt the
attitude OF France.
Being assured OF policy OF nOn-Iuterference. it
Is understood that Spain, using the precedent OF
1893, intends 10 demand the payment OF indem-
Africa and to occupy territory around Mella until
the indemnity is paid the Sultan provides sufl-
cent troops maintain order in the Rifr country.
Spain also intends to ask the powers to compel
the Moroccan foreign board to respect the clause
Of the Algeeiras convention prohibiting the sale Of
arms and ammunition at Moroccan ports.
An official dispatch received here tonight from
the Beni-Siear territory, which occupied by
the Spanish Wednesday, says that the main
hostilities have been suspended during the nego-
tiations
