RAILROAD MEASURE IS ROASTED
President of Santa Fe Railroad Says it Will Stop All improvements.

'e Fs'ii OlOp All improvements.
 New Edward Payson Rip ley, president of the Atchison, Tope ka & Santa Fe, one of the Westerr railroad executives who was ill con ference with President Taft, gay out the following statement on tn results of that conference:
 eff every increase thus far filed It Washington were allowed to gc into effect in full they would not justify the railroads in going ahead with the improvements they has planned. The increases enjoinea were but a drop in the bucket The raises asked for by the 24 Western railroads were almost imperceprible They must be followed by much large increases if railroading is to be profitable The conference with the president has not cleared matters although it has furnished a basis on which the railroads can work toward a solution of their difficulties. m the light of these circumstances, the Atchison will cut expense wherever there is a chance to save a dollar Most of our improvement work is so far advanced that it would cost more to stop it than to carry it to compile tion, but no new obligations of any kind will be entered into. The rail road bill as it stands is terror It takes control of the railroads out O our hands while leaving us the re sponsibility. It gives the government practical control without owner shin If it goes into effect, I would rather the Interstate Commerce Commission were given full power to make all rates"

The Powell. Fleming bread box pri-
mary attempted to be held on yester-
day for the Republican party was
about the most miserable failure Of
anything ever attempted in Marion
county. 1t was such a fizzle that they
were ashamed Of It themselves, and
began at once to send out false re-
ports Of the number OF votes polled.
Their stronghold was Fairmont dis
triet. Here, with the use OF Scott and
corporation DOODLE Democratic influ
ence, Misrepresentation and repeat
ing, their vote was SO insignificant,
that they felt they should report it
more than twice the actual vote polled
in order to make any show of support.
The colored voters we're we'll supplied
with coin of the realm to attend the
Bumpers primary.
Where the people were informed as
to the character of the Bumpers
movement, no election could be held
for want of persons to conduct it. The
vote polled, outside of the. purchasable
vote, was almost entirely of persons
who were misled into believing that
they were voting In a regular RepubIi
can primary. But with all the adver-
Using, and agitation by the Bumpers,
the post Office force Throughout the
county, aided by the State committee,
Democrat influence, and Scott and cor.
poration money, the vote polledtwas a
terrible set-back.tO,the Bumpers, and
shows that Republicans OF Marion
county do not endorse the Fleming
Powell kind ofpolltics. 1t means that
they must go over to the Deuocrats
and dwell with those whom they have
been serving SO well.

The returns from the rump primary
yesterday are hedged about with great
secrecy for the jumpers are SO hui
inflated over the result that they
won't give out anything. However,
enough has been learned to show be-
You'd doubt that the post Office ag-
gregation is completely down and out.
One instance serves as an example.
The Times this morning reported so
votes at Barrackyille, whereas in fact
there we're but three votes cast. No
election was held 1t Pennington and
only 40 votes were registered In the
whole of Lincoln district. The great
June frost Of many years ago was sdu-
.plicated in the rump primary yester-
day. The Powell.Fleming crowd got
the drubbing of their lives. It is al!
most inhuman to treat people as they
were treated yesterday however much
they deserve it.,
