Washington, D. c., Sept. 3.-The
prominence Of the speakers and the
Importance of the subjects to be con-
sidered will combine to attract the
greatest amount of public attention
to the National Conservation Con-
gress, which is to. assemble in st.
Paul Monday. President Taft and
eX-President Roosevelt head the list
of speakers, which also includes Jas.
]. Hill, Clifford Pinchot, James R.
Garfield, Senator Beveridge and other
men of note.
Ex-President Roosevelt will begin
the week with Labor Day address
In Fargo and the next day he will
speak at the conservation congress in
st. Paul. During the remainder of
the week he will fill speaking engage
ments in Milwaukee, Freeport, Chi
cago, Cincinnati and Pittsburg. His
address in the last=named city will
conclude his present tour
An election for state officers and
members of congress will take place
in Vermont Tuesday 1t will be the
first of the fall elections and as a
consequence the results will be scan
ned for indications of the way the
general elections may go in Novem-
Der. Any material reduction in the
usual republican majorities will be
hailed by the democrats as a sign of
victory in the coming congressional
elections throughout the country.
On the same day that Vermont
holds its election the neighboring
state of New Hampshire will try it's
new direct primary law for the first
time. Unusual interest is aroused by
the contest because New Hampshire
is the first eastern state to extend the
primary plan to include the nomina-
ton of gubernatorial candidates. |
There are. two candidates for the re- |
publican nomination for governor
Col. Bertram E. Ellis and Robert P. |
Bass. The former is regarded as the |
candidate of the old line republicanst
and the latter is the choice of the |
progressives.
The greatest public interest, how
ever, is manifested in the struggle be-
tween insurgents and regulars within
the republican party in Wisconsin,
which will be decided at the state pri-
mary Tuesday. The fight revolves
around Senator LaFollette, who is a
candidate for reelection, and who, as
one of the foremost leaders of the
insurgent cause, islmeeting w1ud the
powerful 21HGGIiitt ion of the regulars.

The state primary in Michigan will
also be held Tuesday. Here the diff
ferences between the regulars and
the insurgents are not so acute, but
a race between three aspirants for the
gubernatorial nomination
has contributed to lively campaign.
Also of interest to the politicians
will be the democratic state conven-
ton of Colorado, which will meet in
Denver Wednesday to name a state
ticket. On the same day and for the
same purpose Connecticut democrats
will assemble in convention in New
Haven
What will undoubtedly be the great
est demonstration of Roman Catholics
ever witnessed in America will be the
Eucharistic Congress,
which is to begin a weeks session in
Montreal Tuesday. The gathering
will be attended by hundreds of emf
nent prelates from all over the world,
among them being Cardinal Vincent
the Papal Legate; Cardi-
nal Gibbons of Baltimore, and Cardi-
nal Logue, the primate of Ireland.
