Taft Once More Revises

IOWA LEADER is TOLD
All Simply Republicans, Now
Rebuke Given at Polls
Admitted Cause.

Beverly, Sept. 15.-No difference
between the so-called ''progressives'
and regulars will be recognized by
President Taft hereafter, but all par
ty leaders will be treated alike as
republicans in the matter of federal
support. The presidents views to
this effect are given in letter from
Secretary Norton to republican
leader in Iowa whose name was not
disclosed.
Merely Temporary Punishment
In the letter Secretary Norton stat
ed that, while important republican leg
lslation pending in congress was oppos-
ed by certain republican leaders. the
president felt his duty required him to
withhold federal patronage from sena-
tors and representatives who seemed
to occupy a position hostile to the ef-
forts to fulfill the pledges Of the party
platform.
Accepts Peoples Verdict
That attitude on the part of the pres
ident ended, however, with the more
recent primary election and nominal
ing conventions In which the people
have declared themselves, and the
president now looks upon the pro
gressives" and regulars" alike as re-
publicans and as such entitled to his
support and the support of the party.
Elections to Decide
The fall elections, Nortons' letter
says, must settle the question whether
the differences of the last session of
congress shall be perpetuated or for

but gives no particular reason for
this belief.
Admitted Identity.
The Hans Egede, which is the yes
sci upon which Cook Travelled to CIV

south coast of Disco island, Green
land, and in the course of exchanges
between the masters learned Bradley
was aboard the other craft.
The polar hunt promoter admitted
his identity and explained he was
bound for Etah to recover whatever
had been left there by Cook. He
refused, however, to either deny or
confirm the report he was accom-
panied by Cook.
Insist Pole Was Found.
The government vessel also brings
information that two missionaries
who are working among the Eskimos,

ISSUES ARE LOCAL
Insurgency on Trial in Places
Fight on Legislative Cor
ruption Elsewhere.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Alleged co
ruption in the Illinois legislature r.
vealed in the Browne trial in con-
nection with the election of Senator
Lorimer, Jackpot politics and a plea
for "vindication" on the part Of men
whose names were brought into the
trial are the issues in the primary
election here today. In most con-
gressional districts, insurgency is the
issue. and in several districts there
are bitter fights.
First Under Law
The primary is the first under the
Illinois third primary law. It is ex-
pected to give a demonstration of
the working of the cumulative sys-
tenn that was not looked for when
the bill was framed. With a view
Of making the law constitutional, a
section was inserted allowing voters
to pick one, two or three candidates
or distribute three votes as he sees
fit. Candidates have instructed their
supporters TO cast three votes for
them.
Have Contests On
Congressman Mann, chairman of
the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce, a staunch support
er of Speaker Cannon. has two ad-
versaries, both running on insurgent
platforms. So has Henry Boutell in
the Ninth district Congressman
Foss, also allied with the regulars,
has contest on against an insurgent
candidate.
Lee O'Neil Browne. minority lead
er in the last legislature, who was
found not guilty Of bribing Charles
A. White to vote for Lorimer, has
spent the last week since his acquit-
tai campaigning.
Expect Light Vote
Leaders of all parties incline TO
predict the vote will be less than so
per cent of that cast at the primaries
two years ago. The fact that the
polls remain open until o'clock, the
length of the ticket and an anticipat-
ed unusual amount of scratching may
delay the announcement Of the result
until late tonight.
