chot announced today that he would
leave for California tomorrow to take
the stump in behalf of Hiram john
son. who is seeking the gubernatorial
nomination and is indorsed for the
honor by the Lincoln Roosevelt league
of California.
Pinchot's announcement was made
shortly after a conference with Colonel
Roosevelt, in which Marshall Stimson
of Los Angeles also took part. Pinchot
said he would make several speeches
in behalf of JOhnson's candidacy, which
he indicated was being strongly op-
posed by the old line republican or
ganizations of that state.
Neither Pinchot nor Marshal Stimson
would say that Colonel Roosevelt had
given his assurance of support to John
sons gubernatorfal aspirations, but the
fact tnat Pinchot's announcement came
within a few minutes after leaving
Colonel RooseVeIt's office caused the
general belief among politicians that
Roosevelt indorsed Johnson.
Marshal Stimson said that the old
line republican organizations were
backing the candidates. of Charles F.
Curry and Alden Anderson. He de-
clared the Lincoln Roosevelt league
was seeking for a more representative
party government.

chot said:

ifornia in behalf of William Kent, an
insurgent candidate for the nomination
for congress.

STOCK BROKER TRIES
TO STIR UP REBELLION
Attempt to Force American In=
terVention in Cuba

HAVANA, July 12.-The purpose of
the conspiracy for which the mulatto,
Colonel Jorge Valera and his associ-
ates were arrested yesterday, was to
compel American Intervention, accord
ing to the governments information.
The secretary Of the interior has is
sued an official statement that it was
learned some days ago that it was
designed to blow up bridges and rail
ways and destroy property of foreign
ers with the hope of compelling this
result.
The suspects being poor and igno-
rant, most of them negroes, the secre-
tary believed they were acting under
the orders of persons of superior in
telligenee. Further investigation re-
suited in the discovery that the sus-
poets were in constant cpmmunica tion
with a stock broker whose name is
unknown.

Washington, Nov. 10.-The possible
o%verturning Of the Republican major
ity in the senate is the big surprise
OF the later election returns.
It looks now as if the Republicans
would retain a small majority in the
upper house. But the narrowness OF
the margin is a tremendous shock to
the party leaders. With six states in
doubt, the Republicans must get at
least n of them or lose control. The
Democrats have forty-one members

And only forty-seven votes make a
majority. In the event of a tie vote.

LEADS IN KANSAS
His Estimated Plurality is Placed at
100000.
BALANCE OF TICKET $4,000
The Political Complexion Of the LeglS
lature Can Not Be Determined
and Result is
Close.

Topeka, Nov. 10.-W. R. Stubs has
been reelected governor of Kansas,
but by a grealy reduced plurality over
George H. Hodges, the Democratic
candidate. Reports have been receiv-
ed from SO of the los counties Of the
state and these show a probably plur-
atty for the governor of 10000 votes.
The entire state Republican ticket
won by $4,000. These reports are the
unofficial returns and estimates based
on partial counts received at Republi-
can and Democratic headquarters
from the county chairman and the
newspapers.
Both Republican and Democratic
headquarters were closed and the Of
lcials and workers went home to
catch up on the sleep they had lost by
the all night and all day work. As j..
y. Dolley left Republican %headquar-
2rs he said:
Stubs is elected by from 10000 tc
1900. 1t will nc go below the for.
mer figures. The house of representa-
tves looks Democratic by a very
small majority and complete returns
may change this"
Henderson Martin, chairman of the
Democratic committee, said he did
rot coacede the election of Gov.
Stubs. It is too close yet really to
determine the result. It probably will
take the official count to settle who is
to be the next governor. The house
of representatives is Democratic by
a good working majority.
The Kansas house of representa-
tives may be Republican, but by a
very small majority. Reports have
been received from 80 of the 1875 rep
resentatiye districts. OF these so r
Republicans and As Democrats, one
doubtful, but probably Republican.
There are 26 districts yet to be heard
from. Most of the counties which are
missing on representatives were car.
ried by Stubs and it is believed that
of the rs districts yet to report the
Republicans should elect at least 20
OF the representatives, which would
give them a majority of four in the
house. In many counties that Stubs
carried Democratic representatives
were elected and in Hodges counties
Republicans were elected. If the
political preferences of the counties
remain the same on representative as
two years ago the Republicans will
have IS members in the next house.

Missouri State Corn Show.

The Eighth Annual Missouri
State Corn Show will be held
during Farmers Week at the Ag-
riculture College, University of
Missouri, Columbia, January 10
13,1911. Everything is being
done to make this the largest and
best show ever held by the Mis-
souri, Corn Growers Association
and should receive the support
of every corn grower in the
state.
Among the new features this
year is the division of the state
into five sections with complete
premium list in each section.
Except in the Open to the State
Classes no one will be permitted
tocompete torprlzese kept those
offered in the section in which
he lives. This relieves the nee
essity of farmers living in Ger.
tain parts of the state having to
compete with those Of the more
favored corn districts. 1t will
provide for a wider distribution
of premiums than heretofore and
should add considerable inter.
est to the show. There are also
three classes open to the state,
two which are for twenty year
samples yellow and white corn
with a $3.50 manure spreader in
each, offered by the Internation-
al Harvester Company. The to-
tai number of premiums offered
is two hundred and seventy.four
which totals in value S2,175 the
largest and best premium list
ever offered at the corn show in
Missouri.
Each sample of corn will be
scored by an expert corn Judge
from the Agriculture College
and the score sent to the exhibit

of the exhibitor. Everything is
being done to make the show ed

THE MISSOURI VOTE m DOUBT
REPUBLICAN JUDICIAL cANDl-
DATE MAY HAVE MAJORITY.
Both Branches Of Legislature Are
Democratic and viii Send James
A. Reed to Senate.

St Louis, Nov. l0.-Interest in the
Missouri election centers in the
fate of the state ticket. Returns re
eeived here indicate q probability Of
the defeat Of lu0ge CAN'T, democratic
candidate for the supreme court for
the long terms, by John C. Brown. his
Republican opponent
John Kennish, Republican candidate
for the short term for the supreme
court, is conceded to have even a bet
ter chance against his opponent. H. C.
Timmonds, than has Brown.
Definite returns viii not be in for a
day or two. Brown is leading CAN'T
in st. Louis by $4,000. Kennish has a
lead of 1000 more than that over
Timmonds.
The question that is agitating both
headquarters is, Win CAN'T and Tim
monds overcome that vote in the
country?
Bryan came to st. Louis with less
than $4,000 lead two years ago. It
was wiped out with a few hundred to
spare. Obviously, the supreme court
candidates must come to st. Louis
with better than 10000 more lead than
Bryan had.
Neither Democratic nor Republican
state headquarters have any figures
upon which to base an answer to that
question.
The legislature is Democratic in
both houses by something like the old
time majority.
At least y and probably 10 con-
eressmen are Democratic.
