VICTORIES
Progressive Republican Move
ment Gains Ground in
Every Direction
LAFOLLETTE WINS
THE WISCONSIN FIGHT
By UnIted Press Leased special Wlre.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Sept. THE news
Of Lafollette's victory in Wisconsin,
the insurgent success in New Hamp-
shire and the gain of the progress
sives in Michigan was received in the
camp of the administration regular
Republicans here to-day with feel
ing that "the worst has happened. "
Stand-pat organization men had CEN
bold, resourceful and most radical Of
all the insurgents.
Primary results i'm Kansas, Iowa,
California, and. in fact throughout the
country up-tO-date, are taken here TO
foreshadow one of the liveliest ses-
sions of Congress ever held, with pro-
gressive measures in the foreground,
the resumption of the fight for ply
sical valuation of railroads, the
prominence of effective conservation
legislation and hard last days" for
such retiring veterans of the regular
ranks as Senator Aldrich and Hale.
President Taft had withheld from
Lafollettee the patronage usually
given a Senator of the Presidents
party. He was not allowed to name
his share of the census enumerators
and in the filling of other Offices he
was wholly without consideration
LafOllette's colleague, Uncle Ike
Stephenson. 81 years old, lumber king
and regular, received the spoils. He
was so pleased with the administra-
ton that he presented the Chief
Executive with a prize COW. Special
efforts to annihilate the Badger in
surgent were made by the National
Republican Congressional Commit
tee. Vice-President Sherman is the
guiding spirit of the committee.
Laugh on the Regulars.
Men figuring large in the affairs ot
big business" thought they might
promote the public welfare by pour
ing a little grease on the Lafollett'
toboggan. Arrangements for tn
spectacular event were under wa.
nearly a year ago, but the insurgent
say to-day the regulars have sh
down their own toboggan.
In the last session Of Congress, La
follette's maneuvres in legislation an
his condemnation Of the methods an
lmotises and regulars as they appea
ed to him, seemed sometimes
: arouse a little less rancor among II
stand-patters than did some of h
earlier crusades.
A number of them regarded hil
with a resigned "well, we1l-soon-b,
rid-of-him" manner.
Insurgents feel confident that La
folette's victory will strengthen th
insurgent cause throughout the cour

the progressive spirit of a large pan
of the voters of the country takes i
even advanced principles of Lafol
lette.

BENEFIT CITY GREATLY

County Comptroller Philemina

understand why the city want to build
road to the river. Mr.. Chandler says
there already are two roads to the
river, now. One being so and the
other 100 feet wide
Mr.. Chandler was chairman of the
City Council committee that in 1878
built street to the river bank The
city spent considerable money TO
grade that street and fiji In the piece

since the council after council and
boards of trade after boards of trade.
as well as men In all walks here
talked about a road to the river with
out further progress.
Nothing has been done and nothing
will be done on the project Jntil one
man favors the road Then II can
be built In three months. Wilmington
is isolated and tabooed as a port Of
entry. Down state boats go to Phila-
delphia with Delaware's products.
trade and cash and Wilmington stands
idly by and lets this condition of af-
fairs exist continued Mr.. Chandler.
The Levy Court built a road 100
feet wide to the river. The Levy
Court built Seventh street bridge and
$4,000 was spent for the people. But
although Seventh street goes TO the
river bank. the street would be a third
Of mile from deep water. II is Mr..
Chambers idea that one Of these roads
be extended to river front In his
opinion It is only a matter of yeal
until new bridge is needed between

WOMAN AND LOSES JOB

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
POUGHKEEPSIE. n. Y, Sept. r.
That the Rev. w. II. Hubbard, for
mer pastor of the fashionable Mill
Street Baptist Church. was well with
in his rights when he denounced from
the pulpit Mrs. Helen II. Haggart, a
wealthy member of his congregation,
for permitting her children to dance
and play cards was the decision Of the
Central Hudson Baptist Association
to-day.
The association considered the ap-
peal of the Rev. Mr.. Hubbard from
the order of the trustees of the
church termination his pastorate at
an all-night session, during which bit
ter personalities we're INDUCED In,
and to-day returned a verdict that
the dismissal was illegal. The trus-
tees were ordered to reinstate Hub
bard.
The case has been filled with sensa-
tional developments from the outset
Mrs. Haggart took exception to
sermon the minister preached last
winter. denouncing dancing and card
playing. During a prayer meeting
she took occasion to say she consid-
cred a knowledge of how to play
bridge" and to dance essential in the
education of a child and that her
children we're being so taught.
The following Sunday the Rev. Mr.
Hubbard denounced Mrs. Taggar'
from the pulpit and told her in Sc
many words that she was not q
Christian. Later he demanded that she
either have card playing and dancing
at her home stopped or withdraw
from the church.
The congregation divided into twC
hostile camps. The big majority We're
with Mrs. Haggart and held that Hub
bard was "old fogyish" and "bacl
number"
Leading members of the church sa!
to-day they will withdraw and star
another church if the trustees OBEY
the mandate of the Baptist Associa
tiOn.
