COMMITTEE MAKING RAPID STRIDES IN
 CARNIVAL PLANS
Liberal Response of Merchants Manifested in 54 Fine
 Prizes
Reception Committee Busy Max
 ing Plans For Entertainment of ThrOngs on Columbus Day

Great strides have been made this
 week in the preparations of the
 Knights of Columbus carnival commit
 tee for the 10 nights carnival to be
 held at the Armory, Oct. 12 to 22. At a gathering of members of the com mittee in the chapter rooms last ev-
 ening it was reported that merchants had donated 54 valuable prizes to be placed about the various booths and
 disposed of during the. carnival. Re- ports of the sales of season tickets up
 to last night were far beyond the most
 enthusiastic expectations, and mem bers of the committee said that if the sale continued as it had begun the success of the carnival would be as sured before the doors of the Armory opened for the first of the 10 nights. Here is the general committee of the five local councils of the Knights of Columbus in charge of the carnival:
 George T. Kelly, president; John G. F1tzgerald, secretary; Leo Redgate, as- sistant secretary; John P. Lyddy, lon, Frank Massicotte, M. J. Reyes.

 The reception committee is headed by former Secretary of State John J. Phe- Ian, who is empowered to name his own assistants. The committee is making suitable preparations with the proprietors of local restaurants and hotels for the dining of the thousands of visitors here. The crowd will be so large that the eating places will be thronged, and to facilitate the enter tainment of the out of town knights the reception committee is co-operat- ing in every way with the hostelries and restaurants.

SOCIAL
 AND PERSONAL

At 8:3O o'clock Tuesday evening a jolly party of young folks wended their way to 127 Austin street, where they rendered a, delightful surprise to Miss Ida Latham.

Still clinging to President Taft's coat-tails and crying, Save us or we perish, is the Republican party today Regulars and Progressives alike-tha at is, Progressiyes of the RooseveItian type but not those of the Middle Western kind. Every regular speaker and every regular organ apparently believes that Taft can pull the party through, and that the peo- pie have faith in him. Yet there is not a more regular Regular than the President. He is in friendly a1li- ance with the Aldrich- -Cannon-S -Sher- man crowd. and has been so from the moment he entered the White House. He has approved the Aldrich tariff as the best ever made; he has retained Ballinger in the Cabinet; the railroad bill drafted under his direction was pro-railroad and owes it's best provis- ions to amendments made byeDemo7 cratic and Insurgent votes. His one divergence from regularity was 8he giving of his moral support to Col. Roosevelt in the New York fight; as Roosevelt secured his nomination for President, practically forcing it upon the party, he could not do less than he did.
 ed him safe before his election; now they call him "sane.' If the people do not understand this procedure, they have failed to sense the meaning of the past.

VERY LIKE CoNNECTICUTs CONVENTION.

New York, greatest of the States 1T many respects. stands practically for Progressiveness. Col. Roosevelt has placed it in that position, so far as the Republican party is concerned He "came, saw and conquered" in the State convention. And he did this Nagainst Vice President Sherman, the man who. went West at the request of President Taft to speak for him and the Administration. It was not a narrow victory; majority of 14E is not small. As Col. Roosevelt pre- dicted, the Old Guard was beaten tc a.frazzle.'' Not only did he win the chairmansf1ip; he also secured control of the State committee. That is, the Old Guard is out of power in New York Republicanism.
 The convention was but little less disorderIy than the Connecticut Re- publican convention. But for the in Gruber speech, there would probably hayes been a virtual or actual riot. Never before, it is said. has so much bitterness been manifest in a New York Republican convention-not even in Conkling's time when the Stalwarts were fighting for political life. And the fight continued to the end.
 
 Col. Gruber who was chosen to make the leading Anti-Rooseve1t speech, was not sparing of invective. He linked Roosevelt with Bryan and Hearst; he spoke of the Ex-President as the American Jack Cade'', declared that when President he discriminated be- tween Trusts and that now, in Roose- velt's view. only those are good Re publicans who cry, .eVive 1e Roi'', and appealed to his hearers to prevent a third term or worse.'' How much of the Gruber charges is well founded, every man can judge for himself
 In his speech as temporary chair man. Col. Roosevelt spoke against the alliance of crooked business and crooked politics., and of the corrupt head of big business and the corrupt boss'', all of which is a direct arraign- ment of the Republican party as now managed and as it was managed dur ing the Roosevelt Administration.
 It is difficult to see how. the New York Republicans can secure harmon ious and united action at the Novem- ber election. Such contests inf1ict wounds which cannot '.heal with the first intention, nor probably for years.

their influence against the commission project principally in the country towns. If the Advocate is well in formed upon this matter. the corpora tions' efforts have failed, but the exact fact will not appear until the 1egisla- tive nominations are made. If the
 rural people are in favor of a public utilities bill'', as the Advocate asserts, they should scan legislative candida cles very closely and reject all which are not up to the mark or uncer- tain.

nCertainly I would support Mir. Roosevelt upon a properly progressive platform, but, frankly, AAwou1d much prefer to support some Other man in whose sincerity and stability I have more confidence," says MT. Hearst. This utterance does not indicate any such Rooseve1t-Hearst alliance as has been reported to exist. MT. Hearst evidently intends to be "a free 1ance", but with Republican sympathies at heart. He seems to have a prejudice against every Democrat who attains prominence, and is ever threatening to use the Independence League against them if nominated TOT office.
