CANNON'S AIDE GOES DOWN

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 4.-lnsurgents
won almost a complete victory at the
Kansas primaries Six out OF the eight
congressional nominees are insurgents.
This victory was won in spite
everything the congressional organiza-
ton In Washington and the regulars
in Kansas could do TO save their men.
Their majorities run from 500 to $500.

Victor Murdoch and Il. H. Madison,
insurgent leaders, had no opposition.
W. r. Stubs for governor has been
renominated with a majority over
Thomas Wagstaff of about 10000, or
1000 more than he had over Cy Le-
land two years ago. Stubs is an in

Stubs May Gust Curtis.
Governor Stubs, who was renomi-
mated, is considered a probable oppo-
nent of United States Senator Charles
Curtis in 1912. He lined up with the
insurgents while Senator Curtis took
part in the recent campaign in behalf
Of the regulars.
Great interest was manifested
throughout the state in the result OF
the primary, which was the first real
test between insurgent congressman
and stand-patters. The regulars were
attacked all along the line by Governor
Stubbs, Senator Bristow. Senator Cum
INNS and Congressman Murdoch on the
tariff, the rubber schedule OF that law,
and on the actions of Senator Aldrich
and Speaker Cannon.

EdwardsvlIIe Celebrates.

The ex-presidents reception at Ed
wardsville was hardly in accordance
with his desire to mingle with the peo'
pie as a private citizen and talk quiet
ly with ]. b. Zerby. manager OF the
mines at Edwardsyille, decided that
the town would celebrate, whatever
Colonel Rooseyelt's plans were. To
that end he shut down the mines for
the rest OF the day. and everybody In
town, except the postmaster, knocked
of work and went to the public square.
When Colonel Roosevelt arrived he
found the crowd ready for him. His
automobile was surrounded and the
town orator delivered an address OF
welcome. Then they set of two charges
OF dynamite, such as the miners use,
as a salute to their visitor.
Although the colonel had determined
that he would not make a single
speech on this trip. he could not re-
slst the demonstration, and, standing
In his automobile. he gave little talk
to the crowd. Then he started of once
more up along the valley.

Pursued His Inquiry Into the Liv-

Anthracite Region.

ahAbs fhNrs -
busy day among the miners of the an
thracite region. including one short
speech he could not resist making.
Colonel Roosevelt left for New York.
He expressed himself as particularly
pleased with his Jaunt, even II 1t was
not as secret as he had planned.
Colonel Roosevelts start from this
city was delayed by practical Joke
played on him at the home Of Rev. j..
J. Curran. pastor of the Holy Saviour
Catholic church. where he spent the
night He did not get to bed until
after o'clock this morning. but he
said that he was going TO get up early.
That meant $50 or 7 o'clock. which, in
the opinion OF his hosts. was a good
deal too early. considering the fact
that the colonel had had long. hard
day. with another one ahead OF him.
so Rev. Father John A. Lawrence, a
personal friend OF the colonels, tip
toed into his bedroom. appropriated
his shoes and hid them. Father Lew
renee got up early and awaited devel-
opments. When he heard the colonel
stirring he told him that his shoes
had been spirited away. and that they
positively not be returned until 8
o'clock. so that the colonel might as
well take nap. Colonel Roosevelt
resigned himself to conditions and
slept another hour.
Trip Up Wyoming Valley.
With John Mitchell and Father Cur
ran. Colonel Roosevelt left here and
drove up the Wyoming valley, headed
for Plttston, ten miles away. The
days itinerary included stops at Pitts
ton, Kingston, Plymouth and Nanti'
coke, all mining towns.
The first stop on his trip up the val
Icy was made on the outskirts OF
Wilkes-B Barre. In the foreign section
a crowd Of foreigners gathered around
his car and cheered wildly when they
saw John Mitchell. the ex-president OF
the miners organization. Two mount
ed policemen. members OF the state
constabulary. rode up to the automo-
bile. One OF them. John Gallagher,
is an old Rough Rider. who says he
charged up San Juan Hill with Roose-
welt. The former comradesat-arms
had reunion on the spot
There is a public school in the for
eign settlement named the Roosevelt
school The ex-president stopped and
looked when his attention was called
to il. A white-halred woman. who said
Sc was a grandmother and a Republi-
can. stepped up and seized Colonel
Roosevelt's hand with fervent grip.
God bless YOU" she said. You must
be our next president"
The colonel smiled, but refused to
be interviewed on the subject OF his
political future.

Inspeet Police Headquarters.

From Edwardsville. Colonel Roose-
welt motored to Pittston. where he
spent more than an hour among the
foreigners who work In the mines.
Thence he drove to Kingston, Duryea
and Wyoming. The barracks OF the
state constabulary are in Wyoming,
and the colonel went inside and In
spected them.
The party returned to the rectory.
and with the forty priests who bad
been invited by Father Curran, took
luncheon.
Colonel Roosevelt visited Nanticoke
and Plymouth, returning here only a
short time before catching his train
for New York.

The government is asked to furnish

O'Rourke says the work can be done
made by Congress. A committee has

Taft and Mr. O'Rourke meet for the

The President fayors the Immediate
selection of an engineer to undertake
the task, without going through the
usual procedure of advertising for

bids can be dispensed with.

the caissons, under the Maine, end

The caissons are planned to have
