Crop Movement
Will Not Cause
4 Strlngency
Situation Believed Will Be Entirely
Normal and Without Unusual
Features This Year.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s-Reports from
the west and middle west now seem to
indicate that the probabilities of a drain
on the western banks to pay for the crop
movement, which will Begin within the next
few weeks, are reasonably remote. From
the viewpoint of the treasury conditions
which have arisen since the probabilities of
strtngency were first recognized early
in the year have contributed largely to the
present situation. The liquidation In the
stock market. checking of farm loans by
the banks OF the middle west by increased
rates Of interest and general clearing
OF the financial atmosphere have been
largely responsible.
ASeTs #pesAea it-swss pfedieted that 3pe
westerns banks, because of their heavy
loans would have TO draw more heavily
than usual ON the eastern connections. Fears
were expressed that because OF the large
amounts OF money which had been diverted
TO the development projects and investments
in unimproved farm lands in the west, the
movement of money from the east to the
west would be greater than usual.
Those who have been watching the stu
alton and comparing their own observa-
lions with reports from the financial cent
ers Of the middle west, now think the crop
movement situation is entirely normal. The
preparations which have been made to meet
the movement supplemented by the events
of the last few weeks are said to preclude
any unusual situation.

Official Canvass
Starts Friday
Count Will Be Watched Very
Closely Because of the Close
Results.

The official canvass of Douglas county
votes will be commenced Friday at 10 a. m.
The canvassing board consists OF County
Clerk Haverly. Otto Bauman, democratic
member. and Lew Pixley. republican mem
Der.
1t is estimated that ten days at least will
be required to count the vote. Many OBJ
posing candidates made such close races,
especially those on the legislative ticket,
that a longer period than usual will be re-
quired.
Owing to the fact of so many candidates
differ with only a few votes one way or
the other the count will be closely watched
and must necessarily be slow and accurate.
Reports received at the county clerks
office show that more ballots were thrown
out during the voting than at any other
election in the history Of Douglas county.
This is attributed to the new blanket ballot
system, which resulted in the confusion of
SO many voters. with the result that many
ballots had been improperly filled out and
were declared invalid. The county clerk.
by the way, says he thinks the blanket
ballot scheme is frost.

of Saratoga Job
as Chairman
Says He Has No Intention Of With
drawing for ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Refusal Of No Avail.

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 1S.-For nearly
three hours this afternoon President Taft
and Vice President Sherman talked over
the defeat Of Colonel Roosevelt by the
New York state republican committee yes
terday and the selection of Mr.. Sherman
over Mr.. Roosevelt as temporary chairman
of the Saratoga convention. Mr.. Sherman
said he had no intention OF withdrawing in
favor of Mr.. Roosevelt and he treated
lightly the stories that there might be a
fight to repudiate the action of the state
committee in the convention.
The vice president also talked with the
president regarding the congressional cam
paisn. He wants the fight to be waged
along the old lines.t
"A straight-cut republican fight on the
republican platform" and the record of the
party, including the tariff" he put it.
At Mr.. Sherman's solicitation President
Taft agreed to point the waY In the cam
paign by writing a letter which is to be
made q part Of the campaign text book OF
the republican committee.
While the fight apparently is to be d.
rected along the lines of the past II can
be said authoritatively that the feature of
the party re-organization's plans which
calls for the retirement of Speaker Cannon
will be strictly adhered to. 1t is even
said that Vice President Sherman, one of
the staunchest supporters the speaker ever
had, has become reconciled to the decision
that Mr.. Cannon must go. A statement is
being prepared in quarters close to the ad-
ministration, in which the attitude recently
taken by Mr. Cannon in public interviews
will be deplored and in which 1t will be
made plain that there is no thought on the
part Of many OF his former supporters
again to name Mr.. Cannon.
