STATE GATHERING IS STORMY
ASSOCIATED Pressl

COLORADO SPRINGS, Sept. III
Progressive Republicans won sub
stantial victory in the Republican state
convention, which concluded its session
here tonight, by the selection of a full
state ticket.
In one of the sharpest fights in the
history of the party in this state they
prevented the adoption of a resolution
condemning the initiative and referen-
dunn, secured instead a plank favoring
it's submission to the people, and COM
mending the action of Republican leg
islators who voted for such submission,
and thus paved the way for the nomin-
alton for governor of state Senator
John B. stephens, a staunch adverent
and supporter of the measure.
The national administration was in
dorsed; Senator Guggenheim was COM
mended for his work in congress re-
lating to the upbuilding of the state,
and the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was
accepted as a fulfllment of the pledge
of the national Republican platform for
revision downward.
The extreme progressive wing of the
party, under the leadership of Merle d.
Vincent. who is credited with the in
dorsement of Theodore Roosevelt, Of
fered a minority report striking out the
Endorsement OF Guggenheim, commend
ing Senators IaFollette, Dolliver, Bris-
tow and BeVeridge for their attitude in
national affairs, welcoming ex-Pres1-
dent Roosevelt's return to the field OF
political discussion, and strongly in
dorsing initiative and referendum but
this minority report was tabled and the
milder one dealing only with the lniti-
ative and referendum was adopted.

TAWNEY SAYS DEFEAT
WAS DUE TO DEMOCRATS

WINONA, Mimi, Sept. 21.-Conrgess-
man James A Tawney gave out the
following statement today concerning
the result of yesterdays primary cleo
tion in the First district of Minnesota,
which nominated Sidney Anderson of
Lanesboro for congress by majority
estimated at from 2500 to 5000:
my defeat cannot be charged to the
bolt Of Republicans. In seven of ten
counties of this district there was no
contest for any Democratic nomina-
ton. One vote, therefore, in these
counties would nominate the Demo-
cratic candidates. Throughout the pri-
mary campaign the Democrats talked
against me and worked for my oppo-
nent. They boldly declared they would
vote for him in order to defeat me.
Under our primary law this could not
be prevented.
counties two years ago was over 1000.
In the primary election yesterday in
these counties there were less than
$50 Democratic votes cast. In single
precinct in one county there were sew
enty more Republican ballots voted
than were cast for President Taft in
the same precinct two years ago.
"It was not the false representations
made by my opponent or the use Of
the name and popularity Of Mr.. Roose-
Welt to give color of truth to these
representations that accomplished yes
terdays result. 1t was simply the
vote of the Democrats in the counties
where there was no Democratic con-
test for the Democratic nomination.

VETERANS MARCH
IN GRAND REVIEW
Eighteen Thousand Old Soldiers
Receive Salute of Vice
President Sherman
Associated Pressl

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. 21.-
With a step devoid of elasticity, bent
by weight of years, but with the old
spirit that won them many victory
on the field of battle, the Union vet
Grams of the Civil War today again
marched in review.
Eighteen thousand is the estimated
number of veterans who passed the
grandstand and received the salute Of
a commander-in-c chief, the vice presi-
dent of the United States and the gov
ernor of New Jersey
Fine weather favored the old SOL
dierS, which accounted for the unuSu-
ally small number who dropped out Of
line. In all there were not over twenty
cases of exhaustion and none of these
amounted to more than temporary ia
tigue.
Many of the states were represented
by a mere handful of veterans. The
smallest representation was from Ari-
zona, which had just one veteran in
line, who got nearly as much applause
as he marched along as did the big
army from Pennsylvania, which had
the largest number.
The vice president was in the city
only long enough to review the parade
and partake of a hasty luncheon. He
left the city at 235 p. m. When the
political troubles of New York state
were mentioned the vice president
raised his hand deprecatingly and with
a smile said he would not talk politics
Los ANGELES MAKES BID
Those members of the G. A. r.
whose duty it is to look after the bus
iness of the organization will meet in
executive session tomorrow. John E.
Gilman Of Boston, who is a candidate
for commander in chief against John
McElroy of Washington, D. c., appears
to be in the lead. and 1t is predicted
he will receive the honor.
The place of next meeting is still a
free-for-all contest, but the chances
favor the west. Los Angeles is max
ing a strong bid for the next encamp-
ment.
Forty states in the Union they helped
to preserve were represented in the
procession today, and while the parade
was not as large as those Of other
years, there was no end of enthusiasm
as the aged veterans marched past.
The spectacle was a stirring one
Every building along the line of march
was literally hidden beneath the ma
tional draped colors. Near the end of
the march the battle-scarred ranks OF
a once great army was reviewed by
Commander in Chief Samuel r. Van
SAINT. On one side of him on the re-
viewing stand stood the vice presi-
dent of the United States and on the
other was Lieutenant General Nelson
A. Miles, u. S, A., retired. They We're
in the position of honor on the grand
stand at Park Place near the famous
board walk, so placed that they could
get splendid view of the parade COM
ing and going.

RESENT CRITICISM OF
j. S. REGULAR INFANTRY
Officers Claim American Foot
Soldier Equal to European
in Endurance

WASHINGTON, Sept 21-The in
take kindly to severe criticism passed
by the inspector general upon the
marching ability of the American foot
soldier.
Some of them feel the comparison
between European troops and our own
was decidedly unfair in several i'm
portant respects. IT is true, they say,
that some of the continental infantry
men have made some remarkable en-
durance and distance marches against
time. But they assert In many cases
these tests were more or less spec
tacular and the marching was done
by specially trained and selected
troops.
The general army average would be
far below these performances. Amer
lean infantrymen have in case of need,
they assert, fully equaled any Euro
pean performance in marching, and
thew can do it again, but of course,
more or less preliminary training and
hardening is necessary.
Much praise has been accorded the
famous "FleXion" marching step of
the continental armies. This is a
curious IoplnG Bdlt, tne IoOl never
being advanced before the upright line
of the body and being driven back
ward with a partially fexed knee and
ankle joint, the motion being very
rapid. 1t is undoubtedly a quick
marching step and some Of the spe-
cially trained European troops have
covered upward of thirty-five miles
day by its USE
But it Is declared by the American
infantry officers that thorough trial
has shown it is unsuitable for mill
tary use and already most Of the
European armies have abandoned 1t.

Army Authorities Believe Dement,

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21-The
regular army authorities and police are
searching today for William Spillman.
the insane negro murderer who es-
capped from the Presidio general hos
pital last night, and Forrest w. Brooks,
the guard who disappeared at the same
time. 1t is believed at the Preside
that Brooks was murdered by the in
sane man, and his body thrown into
the bay, which is now being dragged
in the hope of recovering it.
The keys to the insane ward were
turned over to Brooks by Guard H. c.
Parrish, who went to supper at mid
night. On his return, twenty minutes
later, the insane prisoner was missing
from his cell, and there was no trace
of Brooks, except his hat and revolver,
which were found on the ground near
the hospital. A Gordon was thrown
about the military reservation, but no
trace of either man has been found.

Toxic Paper Declares Conspiracy
Is FoiIed and Participants
Are in Jail

TOXIC, Sept. 1.-A sensation was
created by the publication today of the
alleged details OF a plot among his own
subjects to assassinate Emperor Nut
suihito. The startling story appeared
in the Hochi Shimbun, which states
that the plotters, who are now under
arrest, certainly will be sentenced to
death after trials before special
secret court This is the first time in
the history of the country that the life
of the sovereign has been plotted
against by his own people and the fact
known.
1t is known that a rigorous censor
ship had prevented the publication of
so much as q hint of the conspiracy
until this evening, when the Hochi
Shimbun assumed responsibility for
the alarming announcement.
The papers assertions are not with
out a show of authority. There are
low in Jail in this city number of
persons who are alleged to be active
in the called Socialist movement, and
those who may be considered to be
responsible state, as does the Hochi
Sbimbun that the arrests followed the
discovery of a conspiracy against the
throne.
According to the paper. the assassins
planned to accomplish their end while
the emperor was visiting the military
school just outside the capital. The
plot was discovered in time to protect
his majesty and the plotters were
seized at once.

Around The World
By the "OFFICE BOY"

A man about forty came up to the
office the other day and told the
Old Man a hard luck story that
fairly sizzIed. Tho Old Man lis
tened to him, and knew the chap
was going to get his, for while tho
Old Man is always willing to help
the fellow who is willing TO help
himself, no has no patience with a
gutter. He finally said, "Are you
married2" "Yes," replied the man.
"That's TOO bad. I was going TO
advise you to apply TO some insti-
tuition for the wsak- minded, but
since you have wife It might be
better for you to try TO get on by
moving lawns and doing odd jobs
of that kind" Then he took a piece
of money and put it in an envelope
and directed, it to the mans wife
and, after making the man promise
to deliver Il to her and to tell her
to buy food, he said, "Good luck is
an excellent thing TO meet about
half way, so get busy and get job.
Get your coat off and you'll be all
right, for life Ia too short for a big,
husky fellow like you to remain
idle"
Did you ever notice that it is diff
ficut to convince a Ioafer that he
isn't smarter than the men who
work? The world Is full Of dream
ers, who expect to do wonders when
they wake up. Get the Sherwood
