Democratic gains in the senate" Sen
ator Gore, who speaks at the Mexico
Chautauqua this Saturday, made the
above statement Monday in Kansas
City.
Speaker CannOn's trip into the ho'
bed of Kansas insurgency last week
and his declaration that he would be
a candidate for speaker was the wors
blunder in political history" de-
clared the blind senator. IF any
thing could increase the already over.
whelming prospects Of a Democratic
house in 1911, that was it. His def
ant determination not TO retire in
the face of the storm Of popular dis
approval that meets him on all sides,
gives a clean-cut issue, a target to
fire at and that target is. briefly, Can

shoes, all new, tsns, russets, oxford

pair. The result was astonishing. Such
crowds collected that Fulton street be-

shoes. An hour later there we're several
hundred more, and by 10. O'Clock the
street was impossible. A report circu-
lated that riot was in progress and the
reserves of the Adams street station
hurried tothe scene. Literally 1t was a
riot, but actually it wasn't, II was simply
a monster exhibition o. what a football
rush looks like on the gridiron. The
store couldn't hold the crowd. The peo-
pie hocked in on the Fulton street side
