SUFFERS FIRE
Young Mems Dormitory Burned
While unoccupied and Will be
Rebuilt. S

CANTON, Mo. July 27.--Allen hall,
the young mems dormitory of Chris
tian university, was destroyed by
fire. 1t is thought the fire originated
from defect in the electric light
wires.
The building was practically new
and was valued, with its furnishings
at $4,000. Insurance of only $1,000
was carried.
The building had been unoccupied
since the close of school last month.
The board OF trustees of the uni
versity held a meeting and decided
to at once proceed with the erection
of new dormitory. The building
will be of brick and stone, with slate
roof, and will cost about $4,000. 1t is
intended to furnish accommodations
for about one hundred students and
1t is hoped to have 1t ready for cccu-

Resolutions Were Not Adopted How
ever Without Much Opposition
in Conference or on
Floor.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 27.-The plat
form convention of the republican par
ty of Nebraska adopted platform
strongly indorsing the administration
of President Taft, expressing opposi-
tion to Cannon and sympathy with
the insurgent movement. The platform
includes a declaration for county op-
tion as the method of regulating the
liquor traffic and for an amendment
to the state constitution providing for
direct legislation.
These resolutions were not adopted
without meeting strong opposition,
both in the resolutions committee and
upon the floor of the convention, but
while there were no votes to spare in
the committee for county opposition
and the other matters came before tie
main body of delegates as minority re-
ports, the vote in their favor in the
convention was overwhelming.
AS a general proposition, it had
been understood, the Endorsement of
county option and of insurgency We're
supported by the same people. In con-
1
/ convention United States Senator

Urgent Appeal to the insurgents

OTTCMWA, Iowa, July 27.-An en-
thusiastic appeal to enlist the republi-
can insurgents of Iowa under the ban
ner OF democracy and continue united
the fight for human rights was
made here today by Hon. Jerry B.
Sullivan of Des Moines in his address
as temporary chairman of the demo-
cratic state convention.
After quoting the Iowa senators who
in recent utterances said that "the
republican party at Washington was
dominated and controlled by the cor
porations of our country" and that
| our tariff laws were dictated and
practically written by those interest
ed'' the speakers proceeded to thank
the insurgent republicans who united
with democrats in defeating admins
tration measures. He branded Theo-
dore Roosevelt as an imperialist and
thus appealed for unison with the in
surgents:
1T Is a time to split hairs with
those who are almost united with us
on the question of human rights and
equal opportunities? Should we not
grasp the hand of every individual
of this land and place human rights
above property, and with the thought
of the fathers of our nation as our
guiding star march on in unity and
victory
The temporary chairman undaunt-
edly attached the present adminlstra-
tion and Theodore Roosevelt. Con-
ceining the former president he said:
This man who did so much on paper,
and SO little in fact is appealed to TO
from his triumphant tour in central
Africa. He has Just said to England
how it shall rule Egypt, to the Pope
how he shall conduct his domestic
affairs, to the American woman how
she shall rear her family, and now he
| Is asked to pull the present admins
1 tration out of the mire. Democracy
/ will not suffer by anything Theodore
does. He has many elements that are
| admirable but he stands today the
/ formost imperialist in the world and
| wishes to guide men with the sword
not from the heart; believes more in
standing army of guns, than stand
| ing army of independent men;
believes that mighty navy, that ha
! almost bankrupt the nation, is of more
! utility for civilization than peace OF
all mankind"
He condemned the present admin
istration for refusing to grant self
government to Porto Rico and the
Philippines and summed up the prin-
ciples of his party as follows:
Democracy stands for revision OF
tariff, the removal of the tax on the
| necessity Of life, that duties should
be for the purpose of obtaining reve-
nue. and not for private graft. Econo-
my in expenditure of public affairs,
the election of United States senator
by the people, that the wealth of the
nation bear it's share of the burden
and that equal opportunities be grant
ed to all"
He denounced the rapid develop
| ment Of the trusts and combines and
declared democracy to be the only
| cure for the present political and
! economic evils

HARDY FOR GOVERNOR
Garfield Dropped His Fight and His
Supporters sat Mute While
Resolution Was
Adopted.

CONVENTION HALL, COLUMbUS,
Ohio. July 27.-The republican state
platform agreed upon by a majority
of the resolution committee, endorses
resident Tafts administration, en-
dorsing him for denomination in 1872;
endorses the Ohio delegation in con-
gress and the Payne-Aldrich tariff Dill.
Particular emphasis is laid on the new
tariff commission. 1t declares in fav-
or of bigger navy, Improvement OF
rivers and harbors and further amend
ments of the antitrust law; endorses
the conservation idea; declares for
further generous pension legislation.
1t endorses the publication of cam
paign expenditures; the ratification
Of the income tax amendment to the
federal constitution; individual pun
ishment of corporation officials who
violate the law.
The planks endorsing Taft are:
1--WE. the republicans of Ohio. COM
mend in the highest terms the splen-
did administration of VIM H. Taft.
I We are proud of the results he has al
ready achieved in his seven months
| in office and give him our hearty sup
port in his future efforts. We renew
our pledge of loyal support given in
1908, and endorse him for renomina-
tion in 1912. The tariff has been re-
vised in accordance with repub lean

duct, the increases being on luxuries' .
James R. Garfield this morning drop.
ped his fight against the endorsement
time he sent out the word that his
name would not go before the con-
| vention as candidate for governor.
His supporters were mute while the
! standpatters led by Senator Dick, pre-
sented to the convention, the strongest
standpat platform that an Ohio repub-
i lican convention has seen for many
years. 1t was the failure of some of
the leading Garfield supporters to stand
up and fight, that caused him to with
draw. He was outgeneraled by the
standpat crowd and quit when he saw
himself defeated The other candi-
dates for governor, Brown, Hardy and
Thompson, all set up the claim of vic
tory.
Hardy was nominated for governor
on the second ballot, having over 700
votes. Garfield received only votes.
The final conference of the progress
sive leaders was held on the pave
ment in front of hotel. Garfield
talked much but indefinitely, while
his friends fairly danced with appre-
/ hension. Garfield and Holland were
sharply told that they would be re-
fused to give the progressive dele
gates the chance to make the fight
they wanted to. Holland was bund-
led into an auto and sent to the con
vention hall, his mind not made up.
The Garfield delegates had waited
patiently for the signal When they
heard there was doubt whether a
minority report would be presented,
they We're dumfounded When Dick
mounted the platform to read his
standpat resolutions, Holland decid-
ed he would not offer any minority
report. This ended the Garfield cam
paign in Ohio.
