Dolllver Speaks.
for La Toilette
in Wisconsin
Says Candidate for Re-Election First
Comprehended Nature Of Conflict
Between Interests and People

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Aug. 3O.-Unlted
States Senator Jonathan p. Dolliver OF
Iowa tonight made the first of series of
speeches in Wisconsin, in the interest of
Senator Robert M La Toilette at the
Hippodrome in Milwaukee.
The Iowa senator said that the first
among republican political leaders to com
prehendD the AcfiaraetArPo Il itrepressible con
fliot within the party between public i'm
terests and the present day organizations
of private business, was Robert M. La
Toilette of Wisconsin. 1t is proposed now
to put an end to his career-to cancel his
commission. to make an example of him, -
said Senator DolliVer, so that the young
men Of the United States may in the flu
ture perceive how mitch more comfortable
it is-how much more safer, how much
more profitable to serve the impudent
financial interests which are trying to
capture the strongholds Of the government
than it is to care for that scattered and
disorganized constituency-the people of
the United States.
1T may be that he can afford to go back
to the quiet and repose OF private life
but IL the state of MISUNDERSTANDING to
the corruption at this moment floating in
on her from all directions, shall go back te
the old form of government by political
bosses, owing their allegiance to foreign
corporations, 1t would be calamity almost
inconceivable In its disaster to you and
your children"

Three surgeons Of the United states Pub

the human body and in tiny thin glass
tubes in the laboratory the loathsome germs

-Four times the scientists have taken the
infection from the body of leper and arti-

ton. You cannot beat its scenic and
natural attractions ard that is why 1 like
to see the people from other parts of the
country here. The eastern man is not
fully educated until he gets west of the
Missouri river
But more than all 1 care for the kind
OF men and women you have here. And
l pin my faith in the west because L be-
lieve in the type of manhood and woman
hood you are producing. The average
American is a pretty good fellow, but
his wife is a better one. The chief object
should be to develop the kind of man and
woman you care to meet in private life.
DO not base your hopes of governmental
success on a. genius, but seek to develop a
broad manhood. Don't allow the public
man to ask you to accept domestic virtues
as an offset for profligacy in public life.
The public man is bound to be decent il he
expects the confidence OF his fellOwmen.
Make your ideas felt in demanding of
your representative and executive public
officials the same deccncy in public as
private life. Demand not only law honesty,
but that honesty that keeps a man straight
at home or In office. ,
1T does not matter how honest a man
may be in great things II he is dishonest
In small things. Unless you are exacting
in this respect and send men TO represent
you In your legislatures, or put him in
executive office, he will sell out If the
price is high enough. He will be crooked
for you, he will be crooked against you
Demand of your public servants the
same quality Of courage. honesty and the
saving grace of common SENSE that you
seek to develop in your private life" s

II aft Interested
in Plan to Raise
Maine Again
Proposal Made that Government Fur
nish Troops to Aid in Work-0ne
Thousand Men Needed.

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 30-If plans
which President Taft regards favorably
materialize, the battleship, Maine, sunk
in Havana harbor twelve years ago, which
since then has concealed the secret Of the
disaster which overwhelmed her. may be
sailing homeward on or before Christmas,
bearing. a long delayed verdict TO the
nation.
John F. O'Rourke submitted the plans
today to President Taft. The plans pro-
vide for raising the Maine by means of
pneumatic cushions and steel cables. The
ship will be preserved intact, Mr.. ORourke
says, with every evidence of the disaster
which she may bear. 1t is proposed to
construct on piles a line of wharves about
twenty feet from either side of the ship.
Between it and the wharves will he sunk
pneumatic caissons to depth Of about
ten feet below the keel OF the Maine.
Cables will be passed down one side of The
calssons under the Maine and up on the
other side 10 the caissons there. These
cables viii be placed at intervals OF four
feet and form a cradle in which the Maine
will rest. The combined strength of the
cables will be four times the weight OF the
ship.
Jack screws to which the ends OF the
cables will be fastened will be placed on
platforms, erected on the oaissons and when
fthe Jacks are operated the Tightening cables
will raise the Maine from her berth Of mud
and gradually lift her clear from the water.
The caissons are planned to have capac-
ity of 50 per cent more sustaining power
than the weight of the Maine
about 1000 men will be required to at
tend to the jacks and other equipment and
IL ia proposed that the government furnish
all or a part of this force, calling out a

OMAHA A CONVENTION CITY
Loses Nothing in Comparison with
Larger Cities.
EAGLES RETURN FROM ST. LOUIS
Hard Time for the Ancient City TO
Raise the Money for Entertain-
ment ~ Women Treated
Better i'm Omaha.

"st Louis is a great big city, with a
magnificent accumulation of wealth and
extensive business" said Charles segelke,
an old Omaha boy, now located at Column
bus. But in preparing for the recent
meeting Of the grand aerie of the Eagles,
to which l was delegate st. Louis fell
far short OF Omahas record last year In
the Missouri town they undertook to raise
$4,000 to entertain the delegates and pay
the expenses of the meeting. At the
wind-up, the day before the convention
met the committee was still 5000 shy, and
the report leaked out that Adolphus Busch
came to the rescue, in spirit of civic
pride, with a personal check for the $1,000
OF course. 1 don't know that he did, but
that was the generally accepted fact in St.
Louis
Now, understand the Omaha committee
last year raised subscriptions to the amount
OF $1,000 or over to entertain the grand
aerie and gave back one-third in cash to
the subscribers So you see Omaha people
have some cause to boast that no other
city can surpass It when il comes to doing
things like this in a big way"
Nels Allabaugh, of Douglas, Wyo., also
a delegate to St. Louis, bears out what
Mr.. Segelke says about the subscription
matter and he also asserts that the enter
tainment given the delegates in Omaha
was better than in st. Louis.
Through some fluke, even the women
were not taken care of as they should have
been in st. Louis" said Mr.. Allabaugh.
THE women's committee was ali right
and tried to do the handsome thing, but the
general committee had apparently over
looked the need for placing some cash at
their disposal for lunches and incidentals
Of that kind. Omaha loses nothing at all
by comparison with other cities in these
matters, and emphasize that as hard as
you like"
