PROGRESSIVES CONTROL IOWA
ENDORSEMENT FOR SENATORS
CUMMlNS AND DOLllVER.
President Taft and His Administration
Receive Little Comfort-The
Resolutions Adopted.

Des Moines, Iowa.-After a day OF
bitter factional controversy marked by
Kisses and cat calls for United Statel
senators and congressman, the Iowa
Republican convention came to close
only when tie insurgent leaders threw
open the throttle and sent the steam
roller over the insistent stalwart Lead
ers, crushing with them the resolu
tons bespeaking an unqualified en-
dorsement for President Taft and the
tariff law
The resolutions as adopted by the
Iowa Republicans dismiss considera-
ton of the president with the clause:
"We endorse such efforts as President
Taft and his advisers have made to
fulfill the promises of the national
platform
They reaffirm their loyalty to the
platform of 1908 but do not recognize
the tariff revision of 1909 as a salts
factory fulfillment of the party prom
Use and therefore favor the creation of
an independent non-partisan tariff
committee to secure facts regarding
imports and urge revision of schedules
separately. They commend Senators
Dolliver and Summins for their work
on the tariff BILL the railroad bill and
the postal savings bill" They COM
mend the action of the house in revis-
ing the rules. They endorse the anti
trust law and recommend it be given
strength to meet the advances of
modern industry. They favor the fix
ing of a physical valuation of rail
roads in order to secure effective con-
troll of rates and a complete system of
accounting. They favor amendments
to the postal savings law to keep the
money deposited with the government
within the communities where de-
posted. They favor conservation of
natural resources. They endorse the
primary law. They promise there will
be no backward steps along prohibit
ton lines in Iowa. They demand cleo
ton of United States senators by d.
rect vote of the people. They insist on
a readjustment Of the representation
of Republicans in national conven-
tons; favor an income tax and favor
cooperation of the national govern
ment in enlarging the usefulness of
the system of public education

Iowa Endorses Insurgents.

Des Moines, Ia.-Republican Iowa
wrote herself vigorously progressive
today at a convention which was in
an uproar most of the time.
Senators Cummins and Dolliver anu
the insurgent delegation at Washing
ton were enthusiastically endorsed.
The new tariff law was branded as
a failure in the light Of the party
pledge Of 1908.
President Taft received the most
tepid and lukewarm endorsements.
A SOD of harmony was flung out In
the endorsement of the administration
of Governor Carroll.
An attempt to use the steam roll
Ter" to make the state central COM
mittee overwhelmingly progressive
was called off, presumably at the hint
of Senator Cummins.
Senator Cummlns was temporary
chairman; Senator Dolliver permanent
chairman. The progressive majority
ranged close to 300 on every question
The resolutions comittee was pro-
eressive. six to five.
The foregoing is a synopsis OF the
davis work. To It may be added
cheers and jeers, applause and Kisses,

RETURNS ARE SLOW COMING IN
Stubs Majority Will be Over 10000.
Senator Curtis, Dave MuIvane and
other Machine Leaders De-
clare They Will Work
For Ticket.

Topeka, Kan.-With the majority of
Governor w. R. Stubbs mounting
close to 10000, and four insurgents
elected in the six contested districts,
with possibility of insurgent success
in another, the progressives here are
jubilant tonight The size of Stubs
majority was a surprise to even his
most sanguine supporters, who had
limited it to 10000 or $4,000. Indica-
lions now are that it will be over
10000. Wagstaff CARED only four
counties in the state.
Stubs majority was reduced from
that of two years ago in several coun-
ties, but this was chiefly due to local
fights, and in many counties where
the regulars made hot fight and 1t
was expected that Stubbs would be
closely pressed, he shows gains over
two years ago.
The exact figures in the election will
not be known until the official can
vass is completed three weeks hence.
From figures available it seems pos
sible that T. A. McNeal has defeated
D. R. Anthony in the First district.
The uncompleted returns show that
Anthony has majority OF only 10Y,
while during the day it was claimed
that he was rearly 1000 ahead Of his
opponent.

SLUMP IN THE AUTO BUSINESS
Bottom Seems TO Have Dropped Out
Notwithstanding Boosting Efforts
of Manufacturers.

New York-Indications point to the
bottom having fallen out of the auto
mobile business. The manufacturers,
II is reported in trade circles, are
making strenuous efforts to keep up
a show of continued prosperity, but
it is also said that they are not sell
ing their product, but are storing ma
chimes throughout the country at their
various agencies to prevent the pub
lie realizing the true conditions OF the
market.
Several large concerns are laying
off men and giving all sorts of rea-
sons for so doing except the statement
that they are overstocked. Two or
three of the largest factories re-
Gently closed entirely, ostensibly for
the purpose of taking inventory, but
the workmen were not given any def
mite time at which to again report for
work, and it is not expected that
these factories will again be in oper-
alton this year.
A well-known automobile agent Of
this city said recently that all cars
would undoubtedly be selling at from
% per cent to so per cent less than
present list prices within the next
two or three months. He added:
"The trouble with the automobile
business is that the farmers and peo-
pie of the smaller cities and towns
have not taken as kindly to the idea
as was anticipated. The farmers find
that the cost of keeping them in re-
pair and operation is more than the
cost of keeping horses to perform the
same work, and while there was, for
a time, tendency among the farmers
to invest in the machines, the demand
for cars from this class of buyers has
practically stopped, and | venture to
say we will not again sell to the farm
ers to any extent until prices are ma
terially reduced"

NIGHT RIDERS CAUSE TERROR
Verge of Civil War and People
are Leaving.

Lexington, Kentucky.-Private ad-
vices from Lyon county state that the
county is seething eXcitment and
that state of civil war is likely to
break out at any time between the
night riders, the sheriff's posses and
the soldiers stationed there.
One man coming to this part of the
state from Lyon county states that the
county is slumbering over a volcano
that is likely to break out at anytime.
Many persons are leaving that portion
of the state on account Of the existing
conditions while others are asking for
more troops to be sent there.

A SHRINKAGE IN MEAT SUPPLY
For First Half of 1910 There Has
Been Loss of Nearly 100000
Head.

Washington, d. Charge shrink
age in the commercial supply of meat
is indicted by the movement of live
stock and products in the United

the bureau of statistics, the movement
of live stock was 16,463,756 head in
