EIGHTH WARD DEMOCRATS
INDORSE ENTIRE TICKET.
Favored Conlon's Candidacy,
but Wanted Consistent Action.

The Eighth Ward Democratic Execu-
tive Committee, at a meeting in Prem
~dergast's Hall last night, ratified the
organization selections for county and
city nominations and Endorsed the
candidacy Of Dewitt C. Flanagan for
alderman and Henry Sleight for free
holder from the ward.
There was some objection to the in
dorsement Of the county ticket as a
whole, because of the sentiment of the
voters of the ward in favor of the
candidacy of owen F. Conlon for coun-
ty register. This sentiment. it was
agreed, had been demonstrated by the
large attendance of Democrats from
every section of the ward at the meet
ing. which Endorsed the Conlon candi-
dacy twso weeks ago. 1t was finally
agreed, however, that the committee
could not consistently indorse any OF
the organization selections without in
dorsing all.
Mr.. Conlon said today he was
thoroughly satisfied with the action OF
the committee and has assurance of the
active support Of a majority of them
Furthermore, he says he feels confident
not only of having a majority in his
home ward, but in the entire county.

7. R. IS WITH
PROGRESSWES,
SCORES BOSSES
Definitely Aligns Himself in OPP
position to Machine in
New York.

CARROLL, Ia, Aug. 26.-Theodore
with the progressives of New York
State in a statement which he issued
on the train today as he was travelling
across Iowa.
Colonel Roosevelt declared that the
main issue in the fight in New York
was not any specific reform measure,
but bossism. Bossism, he declared,
frequently led to corruption, and he
said he would wage ruthless war on
corrupt alliances between business and
bosses. Colonel Roosevelt was asked
about remarks by Timothy L. Woodruff.
New York Republican State chairman,
in regard to the fractional fight in New
York. In reply he issued this state
ment: 4
The progressives are emphatically in
favor of taking a real step forward,
owing to direct primaries, substantially
on the lines of Governor Hughes's prop
~osition, but this is not the main issue.
The main issue is that we stand against
bossism, big or little. and in favor of
genuine popular rule, not only at the
election, but within the party organiza-
ton, and above all, that our war is
ruthless against every species of
corruption, big or little, and against
the alliance between corrupt business
and corrupt politics, as to which it has
been found that too often in the past
the boss system has offered a peculiarly
efficient and objectionabl means of
communication.
I'VE are against the domination of
the party and the public by special in
t~erests, whether these special interests
are political, business or a compound of
the two"

AGREEMENT

When Lester Lobe, II years old
and Charlotte Siller, aged IS, OF
Helena, Mont, were married today
by Judge Hinkle, it might be said
that it was an elopement with the
consent of the parents of the con
tracing parties.
On account of the youth of the
couple there had been parental OBJ
lection, which disappeared when II
was determined by the young peo
pie that they should marry. The
couple had been keeping company
for two years.
So it was agreed that they
should run away to Spokane to gel
tied up, in order to allay any gos
sip over the matter that might
arise in Helena. The young people
were given leave to make theii
own arrangements, and supplied
with the necessary evidences Of
parental consent, arrived in Spo
kane yesterday. The facts in the
case are revealed in a letter writ
ten by the girls mother to 6
friend in Spokane. This letter. is

LABOR AGAINST
BOY SCOUTS"

This plan of organizing school
lads from 10 to Is into boy scouts
for the purpose of teaching them
how to shoot, is frowned upon by
organized labor as practice tend
ing to militarism and inclining the
young mind into a channel and
line of action in which he may in
later years be called upon to shoot
down his own father or brother,
should the latter become involved
in struggle through the medium OF
strike.
Action on the matter of the boy
scouts, now being extensively or
ganiZed over the country, was tax

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 16.-The
scheme of President Taft to reor-
ganize the republican party is
steering stormy course. Speaker

eliminated. Information from
sources considered reliable, says
that Ballinger has refused to re-

retire from the senate, but 1t is
understood he expects to retain
his hold Of party affairs and will
not voluntarily lay down his lead
ership with his toga.
Senator Crane, who is alleged to
have advised the changes and is
believed to be the chief political
adviser of the president, conferred
with Taft today. It is believed that
tremendous pressure Is being
brought to bear on the executive
to get busy" Taft, 1t is under
stood, has been asked to make
good the program which Crane
outlined. which Secretary Norton
is understood to have supported
and which was judiciously given
out at Beverly as the Taft pro-
gram. He is being urged to make
some move that will make Secre-
tary Ballinger "see the great light
and retire, as per announced pro
gram, shortly after the report of
the congressional investigating
committee is made public.
