N 'CUMBER HAS
SERIOUS DOUBTS
Does Not Take Much Stock in
Reported Roosevelt Taft
Break

Minneapolis, Aug. Ex-senator p.
]. McCumber Of North Dakota, Repub-
lican nominee to succeed himself, and
c. A. Johnson of Minot. Republican
nominee for governor. are both In
Minneapolis. Senator McCumber came
down by automobile from Detroit.
Mimi, where he is spending the sum-
mer recuperating from his recent ILL.,
ness. He declares that in his opinion
there will be no break between Presi-
dent Taft and Theodore Roosevelt, as
the president Is trying hard to carry
out the policies Of his predecessor,
and succeeding.
Both the North Dakotans are feel
ing confident of Republican success
in that state on the whole ticket. 1t
is conceded that the only fight will
be on governor, and both sides will
concentrate their efforts there. The
congressman, the rest Of the state
ticket and the legislature are safely
Republican. Mr.. Johnson was the
Republican candidate two years ago
and was beaten by Governor John
Burke, then running for a second
term. The factional fight in the Re
publican primaries lasted right up
until election and aided much in elect
Ing Governor Burke.
This year the situation Is quite diff
ferent. Governor Burke is running
for third term, which has very
different sound to the voters. The Re-
publican primaries in June were hard
fought, but ended with much better
feeling than two years ago. The pro-
gressives lost on governor and one
senator, but got the other senator.
one congressman, and majority Of
the other places. The senatorship
was settled by the primary and that
fight is not dragging through the CAM
paign as it did two years ago, demor-
alizing the organization. The men,
bers of the state committee, who will
meet early in September, have really
but one object, and that is to elect
the governor. The progressive Or
ganization has promised its hearty
support, and it is being accepted in
the same spirit.
Rooseyelt's Statement
Oyster Bay. L. L.. Aug. 20.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt denied emphatically
today that he sent an ultimatum to
President Taft demanding that the
president break with Vice President
Sherman. Col. Roosevelt's attention
was called to the report to the effect
that Lloyd C. Griscom, chairman of
the New York county Republican
committee, was to go to the summer
capital next week to carry the terms
of peace between Beverly and Saga
more Hill" The report had 1t that
Sherman was chiefly responsible for
the action of the state committee in
refusing to select Col. Roosevelt as
temporary chairman of the New York
state Republican convention and In
recommending the vice president In
stead.
II have sent no ultimatum to Presi-
dent Taft" Col. Roosevelt said. "The
report is a tissue of falsehood from
beginning to end and has NO warrant
in fact"
The colonel added that he had not
sent Mr.. Griscom or any one else TO
Beverly on any mission. He made It
clear that he had no intention Of do

which could call for such . etspl

FOREST FIRES
SPREADING N
OREGON STATE
Walla Walla and Crater Ma
tional Forests Are in
Grave Danger
RAIN IS THE ONLY HOPE
OF PERMANENT RELIEF
As Fast as the Flames Are Subdued
In One Place They Burst Out With
Renewed Vigor in An0ther-Pack
Mule Trains Organized.

Washington. Aug. 20-Forest fires
are spreading in Oregon and today
the situation in the Walla Walla and
Crater national forests in that state
is extremely serious. The forest
service received kilograms from the
district officials making urgent ap-
peals for additional troops. 1t was
said that five more companies were
needed to cope with the conditions in
the Crater forest. The war depart
ment promised to comply with the re-
quest SO far as the troops were avail
able. Gen. Leonard Wood chief of
staff of the army. has ordered a train
of about seventy pack mules from
Fort D. A. Russell. Wyo., to Missoula,
Mont. to be used in sending supplies
to the troops who are fighting the
fires in the interior of the forest.
These mules will be used wherever
needed.
The fires in the Colville national
forest in Washington have been ex-
tinguished according to a telegram
received by Associate Forester Pot
ter. The two companies of troops
which have been operating in the
Colville reservation are being trans
ferred to other points.
! While the officials here find some
consolation in the sanguine report
from Washington state they are
rather pessimistic over the general
situation for as fast as the flames are
conquered in one locality they burst
forth with renewed vigor in another.
Rain is the only hope of permanent
relief. Chief Clerk Ucker Of the in
terror department today telegraphed
ito Acting Secretary Pierce that the
conditions in the Glacier national
park In Montana were about the
same. Five companies of troops are
enroute to New park and with their
aid it is hoped the critical situation
will be relieved.
