In Illinois, however, the President is

and are outlining the work of the
strenuous campaign ahead. The scan

but as the governor Of Illinois IS elect

lie would rather keep that State Re

for believing that the President and
Colonel Roosevelt VIII work shoulder
TO shoulder in saving New York from
a Democratic administration, lust as
the President and Colonel Roosevelt s
son-iu-laW. Nicholas LongWorth of Gin
cjnuati. are cooperating actively to re
cover Ohio from the political foe. With
President Taft : full approval, Repre-
sentative Longworth is going to take
a prominent part in the congressional
campaig IN III several States. The young
man has demonstrated his ability to
make a good political speech, and the
president is giving him every oppor
tunity to get to the front. Representa-
tive LongWorth is besieged with re-
quests to make stump speeches and has
already accepted a number Of invita-
tions. He is going into Massachusetts
within a few days to make a speech
on the same platform with Senator
Lodge.
Apart from these efforts to get into
personal touch with the chieftains o.
the coming congressional campaign,
President Taft has been giving atten-
ton to publicity matters bearing upon
the achievements of the Republican
party during the year and more he has
been in the White House. During the
next few weeks a vast deal of litera-
ture touching that subject will be dis
patched from Washington, and the peo-
pie who vote will be given a chance to
understand how much has been accom-
plished and what it signifies. And after
the President is established at Beverly
it is understood he viii keep finger

prominent workers to report to him in

WASHINGTON. June 23.-During
the closing days of the session of CON
gress. when he saw his legislative tasks
rounded out. President Taft betook
himself actively to political powwows.
This IS interpreted by good friends of
the admin stration as a wise move. Be
fore he starts away to Beverly he will
be in possession Of knowledge about
conditions in many States where the
battle for Republican control is to be
waged and VIII give the Republican
leaders in those localities assurance of
his support and cooperation.
This attention to politics comes ar an
auSpicious time. The President has
won out so splendidlv in his legislative
program. that it has given him new
prestige Washington is throbbing with
words of praise for him and for his
insistence in getting the things done
that ne wanted done. He accomplished
his legislative aims without violent
methods and retained the personal
friendship and esteem of the senators
and representatives, upon whom he has
had to rely. They are quite as glad
as the President that the differences
have been composed and things
Strengthened out 50 that the party can

Showing His Interest.

And now the President is letting the
senators and representatives know how
much he is interested in the campaig~s
they are entering upon. He wants to
see Maine and Vermont start off with
a ringing endorsement in September.
He called in Representative Burleigh,
the dean Of the Maine delegation, for
a word over the situation in the Pine
Tree State, where the nominating con
ventions are already under way. He
has likewise talked with Representa-
tive Foster of Vermont, who is to be
nominated in few days at the first
Republican congressional convention to
be held in New England for the 1910
campaign. Maine and Vermont are the
only two States that will hold early
elections this year. Oregon, where
State and congress Ional elections used
to be held every other June, has adopt
ed the general plan of holding cleo
tions in November along with most
other States. Consequently Maine and
Vermont will have the first voice this
year.
But the New England conferences
with the President are only examples
of what he is doing with lawmakers
clear across the northern tier of States.
He set apart three or four days after
the adjournment of congress for this
very thing and before he starts away
for Beverly, where the summer capital
is to be established, all the political
leaders viii have opportunity for full
talk with him.

house and then walked to a bushy tree
whose branches reached the ground, and
looked under it.
There he found the body of Chun
Ton lying back downward. The body
had been burned from the knees up
ward. and was charred beyond recognl-
ton wherever the flames had touched
it, An empty shotgun and the muir
dered man ) shoes Were lying alongside
the body, but there was no appearance
of straw. as was first reported by the
messenger who notified the police de-
partment 1t is believed by the in
vestigators that the clothes of Ton
were saturated with kerosene and set
on fire by his slayers. The local physi-
elan examined the body Wednesday
night. but had a poor light and could
not perform his task thoroughly.
Yesterday morning another examina-
ton was made, and it was ascertained
that Ton had been stabbed in the side
by a rough knife or a similar weapon.
The intestines had exuded and been
burned off. The incision was small, and
some of the people in the neighborhood
believed Ton had committed suicide by
stabbing himself and then setting his
clothes on fire, but there were few facts
to support such a theory.
There were signs on the ground of
the body having been dragged to the
| tree. and that fact, if verified, will
! exclude all suicide theories. Also, Ton
would not have laid the gun and shoes
alongside himself after stabbing him
self and setting his clothes on fire.

anxious Wednesday morning to bury
