ExpEcTs eo.ooo.ooo POPULATION,

Mr.. E. Dana DuTand. director OF the
census commenced today, is counting
upon roll of not fewer than 10000
600 names. This estimate is based
upon calculations of his experts, and
makes allowance for an increase &C
cording to the tendencies shown in
the last three previous censuses. Be
tween 1870 and 1880 the increase in
the population was 80 per cent: be-
tween 1850 and 1890, 25 per cent: be-
tween 1890 and 1900, 81 per cent II
the decrease should continue at the
same ratio there would be a falling
of this year of the rate of gain to Il
per cent The immigration figures
for the past decade have been great
er, however, than for any of the pre-
vious ten-year periods. Making al
lowance for this augmentation from
outside it is calculated that the in
crease for the past ten years will be
about IS per cent. and as. in round
numbers, the figure for 1900 was 76,-
100000. it is now calculated that
there will prove TO have been an adj
dition of about 100000 souls.

"FIeHTING JOE" CANNON.

Him, He Writes His DecIara-
t.on of Principles.

Il have always believed in the
principles and policies of the Republi-
can party and expect. so long as |
live. to keep the Republican faith. In
my opinion, it is better to fight and
fail-if fail We Musician to win at
the sacrifice of those policies and
principles and have victory like Dead

This is the substance of q letter

acknowledgement of the pleasure CIV
en- him by reading report of Mrs.
Ridsdale's current topics talk on
Speaker Cannon and the recent fight
in the house of representatives which
she gave recently at the Young Wo-
mems Christian association. Giving
an analysis of Mr. Cannon, Mrs. Rids-
dale described him in this way:

'TomIinson,' whose lack of Individual

Carroll today announces his candi-

pears in our news columns. and we
commend it TO the Republicans of

Governor Carroll presents his case
with dignity, but with a force which
will challenge the respect of thinking

upon which il is sought to base an
opposing and an unprecedented and
an unnatural candidacy at the pres
ent time, and depicts the disaster
which must come to the Republican
party II factionalism engendered by
the personal ambition Of a few men
shall be allowed 10 continue its
course.
Governor Carroll informs the Repub-
lican voters that he has nothing 10
do with any division over policy at
Washington. Further than that, he
has never been consulted concern
ing any program contemplated at
the next Republican state convention.
Upon what theory. then. should he

A Real conunorum

Fairfield Ledger: When Roosevelt
ran for President the Republicans car
ried ninety-eight OF the ninety-nine
counties in Iowa. If Senator Dolliver
and Senator Cummins come into the
state to urge factional war, as their
newspaper representatives at Wash
ington say they will, how many coun-
ties will the Republican candidate for
governor carry this fall? That is a
real conundrum

on Friday evening the Negaunee

COLLINS ARRIVES HERE
FOR MATCH WITH HUDSON

Joe Collins, the well known wrestler,
arrived in Hancock yesterday from
Chicago, and tomorrow night will go
on with Johnny Hudson at Germania
hall in catch-as- catch-can straight
match for share of the receipts and
a side bet of $3.50. Collins has changed
but little since his last visit here, when
he came to Hancock as promoter of a
match between Young Miller and Bee
man. He said this morning that he is
in fine condition and weighs about 1856
pounds. Hudson's weight is about lac.
and both men are in good training. so
that the match should be an interest
ing one Collins has many friends
here, made during previous visits and
there will be a good turnout to see
whether or not he is as good as when
he did things to Beeman, and to get
line on the abilities of Hudson, who Is
practically unknown here.
Collins said he would like to have a
match with Lehto. and was interested
in the various matches past and pros
pective, in this section.
