any part of the city not only helps
him to win a valuable prize but it
increases his earnings IL cents a
month, and with so new customers
he will increase his earnings Sc a

It's worth while to the boys and
means a whole lot. Press carriers
are very shrewd business men.

EMPORIA, Kan, July 19.-Con-
gresham Victor Murdoch will this
afternoon answer the speech of
Speaker Cannon yesterday, in which
it was charged that Senator Bristow
misstated fact in regard to the
framing of the rubber schedule of
the tariff law. Bristow charged that
Senator Aldrich so framed this
schedule as to keep raw rubber on
the free list and to increase the
duty on manufactured rubber goods.
He also charged that Aldrich was
interested in the formation of a
new rubber company, which has adj
vanced prices and is in reality the
rubber trust.
Aldrich's son, Bristow said, was
general manager of this concern.
Cannon, speaking here yesterday,
denied the statements with direct
ness and emphasis.

Burke is the strongest man in the

who arrived at the Spokane hotel

"Of course, Ashton Is running
strong in Pierce county; that Is to
be expected. but his strength In
the whole southeastern part of the
state will not be anything like what
Judge Burke will get In Seattle
alone, for Seattle has over one
fourth of the voting strength of the
