THE LETTER ITSELF.

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 15.-NO differ ence between the so-called 'progres- sives' and the regulars will be recog- nized by President Taft hereafter, but all party leaders will be treated alike as republicans in the matter of fed eral support. The presidents views to this effect are given in letter from Secretary Norton to a republican leader of Iowa, whose name was not disclosed.
 In the letter Secretary Norton stat ed that while important legislation which was pending in congress was opposed by certain republican leaders, the president felt it his duty to with hold patronage from the senators and representatives who seemed to occupy position hostile to his efforts to full fill the pledges of the party platform. That attitude, however, was ended with the recent primary elections and nominating conventions in which the people have declared themselves, and the president now looks on progress sives" and regulars" alike as repub- licans and as such' entitled to his support and the support of the party at the fall elections. Secretary Nor tons letter says they must settle the question whether the differences of the last session of congress shall be perpetuated or forgotten.

Broken by That Great Stallion
 Yesterday.

Syracuse, N.

Three heats of this event had been raced at sundown on Wednesday. So- pranO had taken the first two, and had just been brushed out by Orc Bellini for the third. The wise ones figured that the finish on Thursday would be between these two. However, along came Geers with Demarest and took three straight heats of the race. He earned the victory, too, as in each in stance the great Soprano carried him down the stretch to the wire in a heartbreaking clip. and the last time the crowd was in doubt about the win ner until the judges announced the re suit

Utah Democrats Declare for State
 wide Prohibition.

Provo, Utah. Sept. Statewide prohibition was put forward by the democrats of Utah as the paramount issue in the state convention today
 It refused to ask for a prohibitory amendment to the constitution, all though a considerable minority fla vored that course. but it inserted a strong plank in the platform pledg- ing the party to an anti-liquor law The fight waxed warm at times but the dry delegates mustered a large majority on the finish.
 Ferdinand Erickson of Mount Pleasant was nominated for congress- man and C. C. Richards of ogden for the supreme bench.
 The convention rejected a plank calling for a public utilities commits sion which was advocated by the friends of railroad regulation.
 In addition to the prohibition law. the democratic platform demands di- rect primary elections, the election of United States senators by popular vote, the initiative and referendum and recall and a tariff commission.
 The conservation plank advocates cooperation of the state and national governments and the widest use of public lands for settlement and min ing

Dr. Woodrow Wilson Leader
 New Jersey Democracy CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
The Chief Planks of His Platform are Reform of Administration, Equaliza- tion of Taxation and Control of Corporations.

Trenton, N. J., Sept. 15.-The demo- cratic state convention today nominat- ed pr. Woodrow Wilson. president of Princeton university. for governor of New Jersey. Dr. Wilson was nominat- ed on the first ballot and received for ty more votes than were necessary.
 The platform adopted is in line with the democratic platform of three years ago, except that it is more specific in its advocacy of reform measures, in cluding the cOnferring of the rate making power upon the present pub lie utilities commission. Dr. Wilson ac- cepted the nomination and made an address which was highly pleasing to the delegates.
 After discussing the platform, pr. Wilson said; Three great questions before the people are the re-organiza- tion and economy of administration; the equalization of taxation and the control of corporations.
 "Other important questions are the propert liability of employers, the question of corrupt practices in cleo tions, and the question of conserva- ton.
 "OUr system of government should not be unnecessarily complicated nor elaborate, and there should not be too many separate commissions and boards"
 Discussing the question of corpora tiOns. he said: Corporations should not be favored in the matter of taxa ton The power to regulate taxation and fix rates should be vested in d public utilities commission. The regu- latiOn of corporations is much more the duty of the state than the federal government"
 Concluding. pr. Wilson said: Play ing politics is to be deprecated. Meas ures having for their object the better ing of our condition should be con ceived in the largest spirit and urged by leaders who are statesmen and not demagOgues."

MAYOR MCCARTHY TALKS
 OF POLICE ROTTENNESS
He Says the Frisco Department Must
 Be Reorganized.

San Francisco. Cal, Sept 15-The police department is so permeated by graft that it must be re-organized is the substance of communication sent today by Mayor Mccarthy to po- lice commission
 The communication is the first of ficial answer to complaints made lately against the department. Fol lowing the accusations of a local pap CT that the police were taking money from dance hall proprietors for pro- lection, the district attorney made an investigation at the conclusion of which he addressed d communication to Chief Police Martin in which he stated that he had verified the charges.
 In the letter Mayor Mccarthy de- clared that he was convinced that the police are extending protection to criminals while withholding it from those entitled to it. He de- clared that the city is overrun by pickpOckets and bunco men who are presuming on the proven inefficiepcy of the detective department.

THE sHAFROTH ELEMENT
 IN COMPLETE CONTROL
The Slate Went Through With a
 Single Exception.

Denver, Sept 15-The adherents of Governor Shafroth, who last night secured the renomination of the democratic state convention by the scant official plurality of 27 votes. today finished the work by bringing about the nomination of practically the entire Shafroth slate.
 The big Denver delegation, with 2S4 votes out of HOO, was unable to stem the Shafroth tide except late tonight, when it assisted in selecting Alex. Davidson of Salida county, missioner. Every other candidate supported by the Denver men was defeated
 The opposition among the women of Denver county to the renomina- ton of Mrs. Katherine M. Cook, state superintendent of public instruction. also went amiss while another plan of the women to nominate a woman for secretary of state failed even more disastrously
 The nominations made today were: Lieutenant governor, Stephen R. Fitzgerald; secretary of state, James B. Pearce: treasurer, Roady Kene- han; auditor, M. A. Leddy; railroad commissioner, Alex. Davidson; super intendent of instruction, Mrs. Kath- arine NJ Cook.

HE AR|zON|ANS ENROUTE
The Officers Familiarizing Themselves With the Lay of the Land In Prepara-
 tion for more Complex Problems than Last Year.

Camp Atascadero, Cal, Sept 15.- first day of the four weeks army ma neuvers which began at Camp Atasca- derO under Brigadier General Tasker camp and by many officers familiariz- ing themselves with the topography of the country over which the field op- erations will take place. In many re- spects the maneuvers and field move ments of the regular troops and the na- tional guard of California, Arizona and New Mexico, will be of a more extend ed scope this time and more difficult problems will be involved than were the field operations two years ago.
 Sixteen officers have been detailed as umpires to observe the operations of the troops and render decisions in the game of war between the red and blue forces. Each officer will be placed in command of larger bodies of troops in the field than is afforded him an opportunity in any of the army posts. The manner in which they ac- quit themselves will be decided by the umpireS and chief, Chief of Staff Major w. NJ. Wright
 Tomorrow morning the troops will take the field for the first operations in the present maneuvers. The infan- try will be given problems of attack and defense which will extend over the rolling ground of the southern part of the reservation, which comprises the big maneuver field. The evolutions and tactical movements will be by bat taliOns which probably will be support ted by machine gun platoons. The cav airy will operate in squadron forma- tion, while the artillery, signal corps and other branches of the service will have special instructions during the day.
 The first national guard will reach camp tomorrow, when eight companies of territorial troops from Arizona will arrive in two special trains. Major F. R Day of the Thirtieth infantry, com manding Fort Mason, San Francisco, has been detailed as coach for the Ari- zona militia, with the title of inspect or-instructor."
 An effort is being made to interest some of the amateur aviato"s of the state III lndhlHS dtiopidh' '''S"'S '' Camp Atascadero to demonstrate the practicability of aeroplanes for mili- tary purposes. The war department failed to grant the request for de- tachment from the army aerial corps, with aeroplanes or dirigibles, IS no ap- was available for such eX- periments by the army. The only chance of making such experiments here lies in the hope that some ambi- lions California aviators will volunteer their services.

COAST BUSINESS MAN
 4 PHOENIX VISITOR
S. J. Smith of the Smith Booth Usher Company will Inspect
 Avondale Plant.

$. J. Smith of Los Angeles. presi- dent of the Smith Booth Usher com pany, is in the city on general business trip, but coming more par ticularly to look over the pumping plant at Avondale, in the installation of which his men have been engaged for some time He will go to Avon dale today for that purpose.
 Mir. Smith is one of the selfmade men of the coast city in a business way at least He started a little shop eighteen years ago in that city with a cash capial of $500 and has kept pace with he growth of the city. The company now carries the largest general machinery stock on the coast. It now has under con- struction a building fronting 145 feet on Central avenue, reaching back 503 feet to Alameda street, that will contain 100000 square feet of floor space, and will assemble under one roof the salesroomS, shops and warehouse stocks now scattered about the city, as well as providing suitable offices for the company. As an indication of the magnitude of the companys business it may be stated that during the last fourteen years it has installed over 4,000 machin- cry plants of one kind or another. Most of them were constructed in the later years after the business reached larger scale.

 Representatives of the reform sources declared the outlook not so dismal from their viewpoint as might at first appear They say enough seats had been won to indicate that the next house would be under diff ferent control from that which ruled when Lorimer was elected to the sen ate.

DR. COOKS MOVEMENTS.
The Discoverer Said to Be Going
 After His Proofs.

Copenhagen, Sept 15.-The DanisI steamer Egede arrived here today with the news that John R. Brad ley of Fl PasO. who is the financial packer of Dr. Frederick Cooks North Pole expedition, is on his way back to Etah to secure the much talked of records and instruments which Cook said he left at that Eskimo village northeast of Greenland.
 The captain of the schooner thinks Cook is with Bradley. but has no proof. The vessel also brings the information that two missionaries who are working among the Eskimos who accompanied Cook on his expedi- tiOn, says these EskimOs insist that the doctor reached the pole as he claims, prior to it's discovery by Commander Peary.

Speaking of the Avondale plant Mir
 Smith said it consists of a 200 h. D. St Mary's tandem process gas en- zine, which by test has shown 243 h. D. to be used with a 200 h. D. In ternational Amet crude oil gas pro ducer. making the fixed gas for the engine from 12 to 20 gravity oil. The capacity of the pump to be operated is 25 second feet. Ths new gas pro cess utilizing crude oil, says Mir. Smith, is the cheapest power in the world today, with the single eXcep- tion of water.
 Speaking of the Amet process re calls the fact that it's successful use is a matter of local pride to some extent, for it was practically tried out and proven a success in this city. MT Amet came here firm Redondo, California. with his process only partly perfected. He had the idea, knew what he was trying to accom- plish, but was not in position finan- cially to carry his experiments through F. II. Ensign of this city, his brother, Q. H. Ensign electrical engineer of the reclamation service; H. J. McClung, F. E. Gage and others were interested in the under taking and further experimenting was done. Having satisfied them selves that it was all right they con tracted with the government to in stall a pumping plant at Yuma to demonstrate the power and it's cheapness. This was done and the trial proved satisfactory, the plant being operated by the government at Yuma now.
 In the meantime the Smith Booth Usher company became interested and carried on a series of expensive tests to satisfy themselves that the process is what the inventor claimed for it. They employed thier own en- gineers and chemists to carefully check the operations at the Yuma plant after which they tried all man ner of tests on their own account. The result was to fully satisfy them of it's predecessors in the mechani- cal world and the company pro Cecded to secure a lease of the pro- cess for use in the entire southwest. Thus far. it is perfectly satisfied with results and as fast as the ma chinery can be equipped it is being put into commission in plants the company is installing. The com pany makes an absolute guarantee of : brake horsepower hours to the gal lon of crude oil used.

PUNISHMENT IS WITHHELD
From the Insurgent Lead ers-It is Explained that the President Himself Is Progressive But Not a Rampant Insurgent.

Beverly. Mass, Sept. 15.-BeveIry is not a little puzzled tonight as to the eVact meaning of a letter made public here today in which Secretary Charles D. Norton, reflectihg the views of President w H. Taft an nounced that the policy of withhold ing patronage from progressive senators and representatives, had been abandoned and it was the Pur- pose of the administration % treat all the republicans alike
 The letter was written D an uu- IaE-cd roIticaI leader Tn Iowa, tn; insurgcnt stamping ground. No inter prctation of the document could be obtained from official sources It is admitted that variety of interpreta- tions might be placed upon it from the viewpoint of different political observers, but it is insisted that the letter is simply a formal announce ment that a policy would soon be discovered for the various appoint ments of postmasters about L. be made in some of the progressive" states.
 The suggestion that the letter seemed te indicate a turn toward the "progressives" on the part of Mir Taft was met by the statement that Mir. Taft had always been pro gressive" himself, and that his re- cord on progressive legislation during the first year of his office had never hetn equaIled by any other republi- CdU administration.
 lt is not admitted at the exc utivc offices that the recent progressive success in the states like Iowa, Kan sas, California and Wisconsin in fluences the president. NeiCi.cr i' it admitted that results in these states are at all displeasing.
 A distinct objection is raised in Beverly these days to the -erIh. in surge" On the other hand it is pointed out that many of MT. Taft's utterances and acts in the pasc arc evidences of real 'progrcsSIvcress on his part. It is intimate1 that in the speech he is to deliver before ti' -Hotipiiii i@'o5ut pl iN'IbplANd+i clubs in New York on october 1, the president may have something to say of his own progressiveness. It will not mean radicalism, rampant insur- gency, it is pointed out, but recOg milton of the real progressive move ment. In the meantime the Norton letter is to be allowed to speak for itself without further explanation.
