TROOPS ORDERED TO
FIGHT FOREST FIRES
President Taft Authorizes ThekCs.
Use to Save Northwest =.
Forests.

WASHINGTON, d. c. Command
ers of military departments of the
Columbia, Dakota, California and the
Missouri have been ordered to in
struct post commanders to lend troops
on request to assist in fighting forest
fires near forts. This order emanated
from President Taft, who was appeal
ed to by Governor Hay, Washington;
Western Pine Manufacturers Asso-
citation, Spokane, and Western For
estry & Conservation Association,
Portland.
Immediately Acting Secretary of
Agriculture Hays conferred with War
Department officials and Associate
Forester Potter and telegraphed dis
trict foresters at Portland and Mis-
soula, Mont, in which districts most
damage is being done. :.
Fires Worst in History.
The Forest Service hopes that army
cooperation will check the flames,
which are the worst In history.
Two hundred thousand acres of
timber are burning in the Northwest,
half in national forests and half on
private land. There are so fires in
Idaho and Montana, of which Is are
under control. Fifteen hundred men
are on the fire line in the Missoula
district, where $45,O00 is being spent
in fire-fghting. This district was al
lotted 100000, but Secretary Wilson
authorized District Forester Greedy,
Of Missoula, to check the flames re-
gardless Of expense. The situation is
said to be the worst near Occur
dAlene, where the loss is over a
million dollars. The total loss is $10,-
100000, and billions are endangered.

Hcan convention accepted the challenge
by indorsing Taft for another term.
Thus the fight assumes almost the pro-
portions Of a presidential contest.
Should Harmon win he will almost
certainly become the Democratic stand
ard bearer two years hence, while
President Taft will be humiliated and
to some extent discredited by repudi-
alton in his own state. Should Hard
ding be successful the result would
universally be regarded as the climina-
ton of Harmon and the triumph Of
Taft.
On state issues it has been generally
conceded that the Democratic governor
had an excellent chance to succeed
himself, yet it must be remembered
that on national issues Ohio has been
uniformly Republican. This makes the
outcome more uncertain.
Nor do the complications end here
The insurgent movement and the pop
ular feeling against the tariff law are
new factors the strength of which can.
not as yet be measured. Then, too,
Theodore Roosevelt has announced that
he will make no speeches in Ohio this
year. In view of the defeat of the
Garfield platform what Interpretation
will the country place on his silence?

sciousness and later examinations by
the physicians at the hospital gave a
more hopeful outlook.
The shooting occurred under cir
cumstances of the most dramatic
character. Mayor Gaynor came
aboard the steamer accompanied by
a number of prominent city officials
about to bid him goodbye. The par.
ty proceeded to the upper deck and
were assembled in group giving
final greetings. Crowds of passengers
were waving adieu from the pier.
The Mayors party had just formed
a group preparatory to having their
pictures taken.
Suddenly man pushed through the
crowd from the rear. He approached

Mayor Gaynor was seen to fall and
gushing wound told that he had
been hit. At the same moment a
ships guard sprang forward and dealt
the assassin a blow on the head with
billet, telling him to the deck, where
officers quickly seized him.

Another Parallel Seen.

Again Harmon's path paralleled that
of Mr.. Taft, who some years later be-
came secretary of war in the cabinet
Of Theodore Roosevelt. The govern
or's friends insist that the parallel is
to go further In being elected presi-
dent in 1908, they only insist that
Taft beat Harmon to 1t. All Of which
makes it more than ever plain that it
Is not mere state fight that is oc-
year, but one chock full of presiden-
tial politics.
That it will be one of the hottest
fights in the history of the state is as
sured not only by the big stakes in
volved, but by the character of the
two men themselves. While Harmon
has never been referred to as the best
stumper in the state, he has a sort of
Uncle Jud way of appealing to his au-
diences that is most effective. More
over, he will have certain ammunition
in the way of printing and other scan
dals at Columbus that will not be lost
on Ohio voters. He will make his cam
paign largely on state issues, while the
Republican platform indicates that
Harding's fight will follow national
lines.
1t is understood the president insist
ed that in his own state there should
be a vigorous defense of the Paine
Aldrich tariff. The Democrats can
hardly refuse this gage of battle, and
State should give clear line on the
attitude of American voters on the tar
iff law. Indeed. Mr.-Taft naturally

Resignation Not Asked.

SEATTLE.-Secretary of the Inter.

from his visit to Minnesota and Chi

sion of so much speculation and gos-
sip. Interviewed, he said:

To Oppose Uncle Joe.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-Six republi-

ed, are planning to oust Uncle Joe
Cannon from his job as speaker and
elect Congressman E. D. Crumpacker
Of the tenth Indiana district. Resolu-
tions were adopted indorsing Crum-
packer as Cannon's successor at
conference of Indiana republican con-
gressional candidates and state party
leaders. Six of the congressional can

when the body called ut the White

Foraker"
In his campaign for the nomination,
which he made frankly and without
mock modesty, Mr.. Harding held aloof
from factions. Although classed as a
Foraker man, he had in 1908 practically
repudiated Foraker. That was at the
time the Cincinnati senator attacked
Taft Yet the Foraker followers
throughout the state rallied to Harding
in this years contest for the nomina-
ton, so that the breach, If the dis
agreement ever reached the stage Of
being called a breach, may be consid-
cred healed.
Another incident showing the quality
of the Republican candidate was his
break with Governor Herrick. Hard
ing was lieutenant governor at the
same time Herrick was governor, and
the two parted company because Hard
ing wanted to be governor at the next
election.
Presidency Also at Stake.
The real issue in Ohio, however, is
not the governorship, but the presi-

Governor Harmon is nearly ten years
older than his opponent, having been
born in 1916. Both are graduates of
Ohio colleges and both have made their
own way in the world. Harmon was
originally Republican. but broke
away in the Greeley campaign. For a
time in the early seventies he was con-
nected with Peoples party move

ocrat. He has always shown inde-

more than one occasion has broken

Even as governor he has not always
been in harmony with the party man
