The Democratic newspaper seems to think that
the Republican platform was designed 20 catch
votes. Certainly il was. What are resolutions of

repel voters and this is what the Democratic plat

THINKS NAMES WERE MISSED
BY GOVERNMENT ENUMERATOR
School Census Taker Says He Has
Found Evidence Of Loose Work
In Some Sections.

That Detroit's census rating of
465,766 is far too low. and that many
people entitled to have their noses
counted were missed. Is the belief en-
tertained in some quarters of the city
Constable Eugene Adams, who took
the school censes In the second pre-
cinct of the Eighteenth ward, shortly
after the regular census, says that he
received numerous inquiries as TO
when the government census blanks,
left for filing out, were to be called
for. The people who questioned him
were confident that they had not been
counted, and Adams says that from
his conversations with other school
census enumerators. he is convinced
that Detroit should have been credited
with full half-million OF population.
II do not think any appreciable num-
Der of names was missed by our emu
merators." said Orvice r. Leonard,
supervisor of census for Detroit.
There were instances like those
spoken OF. but In these cases we
learned that an enumerator was not
handling his work capably and either
replaced him or sent an instructor to
help him go over his work. The
blanks were not used In all cases, and
many times even when the blanks
had been given out, the enumerator
got his information at first hand with
out refernce to them. OF course
names were missed In some instances
In the foreign districts. but the num-
Der of cases would not have any ap-
preciable effect on the full returns"

To Be Under Control.
Hope Is Held Out That 800 Forest
Rangers May Have Escaped Safe,
Despite Great Peril.

sPoKANE/ Wash, Aug. 24.-The
crisis Is believed to have passed in
the forest FIRE situation in western
Montana and Idaho. Adviies today
state that conditions In both states
have improved, that rain Is falling
In northern Idaho. and that the worst
Montana fires are now spent or un-

The alarm over the fate of upwards
OF 800 forest rangers, who have not
been heard from for several days has
not abated, but there is a general
feeling that. in spite of their great
peril. they may have escaped alive.
Forestry officials today estimated
the total property loss In Montana
and Idaho at about $20,000,000.
The rainfall spread through almost
the entire fire zone as the day ad-
vanced and simultaneously the wind
died down. IL was reported during
the morning that the 200 men of
Ranger Kottkey's forces. reported
missing early today, had reached Mis-
6oula In safety. This report Is not
yet confirmed. 1t Is estimated that.
IN addition to the havoc wrought in
the larger towns. 100 settlers have
been burned out In Idaho.
No definite news received as to fate
OF the 600 men who left Thompson
Falls four days ago to fight the forest
hres. The report was brought by

will meet under canvas hereafter, and
the encampment will be under mill

The encampment idea. however, will

Wednesday morning.
Cincinnati, Kansas City and Louis
Vile are making a bid for the next
conference or encampment. The
choice of one OF the three places will
probably be made late Wednesday af-
ternoon, the selection to follow the
election of officers. The office OF presi-
dent of the organization this year will
fall to William H. Mayo, of Frankfort,
KY, now vice-president, Secretary
Dickerson intimated. The latter Is
slated for reelection.
The Knights Templar are to appear
In a street parade In the downtown
streets Thursday afternoon. About
500 are expected TO be In line. There
are now about 500 knights in the city
and this number Is expected to be aug
rjented by at least 800 on the arrival
of a special train from Columbus, o.,
Wednesday afternoon.
The knights are holding their ses-
sions in Gaines hall, Randolph-st.
The colored Shriners are meeting in
Bamlet hall, Grand Riverave. and
Griswold-st. The election of officers
and selection of a meeting place for
the next imperial council were the
chief items on the program for We'd
needay. That Eugene Phillips, of New
York. would be elevated to the office
Of imperial potentate, was the consen-
sus of opinion among the delegates.
The reports OF the different officials
showed that the Shrine had made
Roadway during the past year, there
being now 43 temples, OF which seven
are new ones added this year. The 4S
temples represent a membership OF
1000.
For the next meeting Of the imperial
council four cities are contesting: st.

The Daughters of Isis are holding
their meetings in the hall at No. 159

There is considerable friction be-
tween the Shriners and the Knights
Templar, but the heads of the two
bodies disclaim any real knowledge
of its cause. Secretary Dickerson. OF
the knights, said he thought the cold
ness was due to jealously. There is
scarcely any friendly visiting between
the members of the two organizations
and those in a position to know say
II is not likely that the two will meet
