THE SECOND DISTRICT.

The investigation by subcommittee
from the democratic State committee of
the recent Second district democratic
congressional primary, in which Repre-
sentative II. l.. Maynard contested the
award OF a certificate OF nomination to
William A. Young, came to close in
Norfolk Saturday night, when counsel
for Maynard, Young, and citizens, the
latter protesting against the award OF
a certificate to either contestant or con-
testee, submitted final argument except
on brief. The committee adjourned to
formulate a report to the State com
mittee at Richmond tomorrow.
Saturdays feature was the intro
duction OF evidence 10y Young intended
to wipe cut charges OF illegal voting in
Norfolk county and OF affirmation OF
illegal voting at Drewryville, an South
ampton county which counsel for May
nard said would also be answered by
affidavits.
In a recount OF the courthouse pre-
cinct of Norfolk city 29 votes instead of
10 we're found for Maynard and $50 in
stead OF 500 for Young. This was re-
garGed by the Young people as good
discovery" for them, because 26 people
had testified they voted for Maynard in
this precinct when only 10 were return
ed.
Citizens counsel, charging that the
district was 'honeycombed" with fraud,
asked for a new primary.
In the event of new primary being
called, with either Young or Maynard
as candidates, it is claimed by the re-
publicans that the Second district will
elect Il republican to Congress. JSnO [.

NO LOVE MATCH.

Lima Cavalieri, in letter lie Jour
nal Of Paris published Saturday, de-
clares once and for all that her mar
riage with Robert CHAMBER was no
lose match. The mantatrice is mild
ly indignant because Le Journal an
nounced that she had received a llrge
fortune from Chanlcr which, says
Cavalier, is a gross exaggcrati"n. She
coiurlair's in brief, thai al she has
is Charler's promise to pay $4,000
yeary.
Let il he understood once for all, 3"
she WiiIes. L did not makca marriage
OF love. Mr.. Chanler was able to
make me decide to marry him only by
a courtship, the intensity Of which broke
all bonds, aided, let it be understood,
by guarantees regarding the future.
Whatever one may decide about this
temptutous loye-making, at least don't
exaggerate the guarantees.

New York Politics.

New York, Oct. 3.-That the politi-
cal situation in New York is TO be
complicated by William r. Hearst
endorsing the republican ticket in
order to aid Theodore Roosevelt, or
else pacing an independent ticket in
the field to attract votes from the
democratic candidates, was made GER
tain today. In leading first page edi-
torials the Hearst organs bitterly
assail the ticket nominated at Roches-
ter, label it as of 'Murphy's making,
and insist that it was nominated as
part OF a plan of Tammany Hall to
secure control Of all Of the cities OF
the state.
The general upinion Of the politl-
clans is that Hearet will endorse Stimson
and the remainder Of the republican
tisket. That the democratic leaders
realize that they will have to fight
Hearst is shown by call for con-
ference here next Wednesday night
The republicans will open their
campaign tomorrow. In the morning
the state committee Will meet ana
elect Roosevelt's choice its new chair
man. In the afternoon Stimson and
the other candidates will be notified
and accept at the republican club.

welt to the republican gubernator-
ial candidate, Henry /. Stimson, at
Sycamore Hill today. They are
TO include continuous assault
on Murphy domination" as exem'
pIified, according to the Roosevelt view
in the outcome OF the Rochester con-
vention. Roosevelt told the candidate

Disorder In spain.

Madrid, Oct. 3.-The rumor spread
through Madrid today that the cabinet
has arranged for a military dictatorship
under General Weyler in the event Of
A revolt following the meeting OF the
Cortes, now scheduled to assemble on
Thursday.
Despite the statements that Sundays
demonstrations OF clericals and anti
clericals passed off quietly. it is known
today that several hundred persons
were injured in fierce encounters in
Madrid, Seville, Santander Saragossa
and Valencia.
The demonstrations, however, were
much more quiet than expected, owing
to the clericals belief that King Alfonso
is on the eve Of surrendering to them.
Premier Canalejas declares this assump-
ton wholly unwarranted.

Carnegie an Admirer of Roosevelt.

London, Oct. st is simply inn
possible for Roosevelt to stay out OF
politics, and | am glad of it. He
should't stay out, for l consider him
one of the great forces for good in
America.
This is the opinion of Andrew Car
negie, expressed in today's Evening
Standard. The Laird of Skibo, who is
now in England and receiving the free
dom of nearly every city he visits, be.
leyes the republican party in America
will yet get together, bury its indiffer-
ence, and re.elect the present splendid
president.
MY view of American politics, "
Carnegie said, is that the people are
making a fuss over the most minor
questions, and that before election both
parties will sink their differences and
present solid fronts. The reelection OF
President Taft in 1912 is so much TO be
desired that the republicans should put
every other issue aside. "

HISTORY has a habit of repeating 1T
self. The situation OF the republican
party of New York is much like that
whish arose in the conflict between the
"stalwarts" and the 'half-breeds " a
quarter OF Ia century ago. This divi-
sion between the two factions split the
party wide open, and resulted in the
election OF Grover Cleveland. To APP
preciate the conditions, says the Phlla-
delphia Record, it is necessary only to
substitute the reactionaries of today
for the stalwarts, and the'insurgents or
pretended progressives for the half
breeds. Another division was between
the federal and state Ofiiceholders
Judge Charles }. Folger, secretary OF
the treasury in President Arthur's adj
ministration, was nominated for COVER
nor in 1887 and Cleveland was elected
over him by a plurality Of 1872, 600
votes

Endea,orIng to Identify Dynamiters.

Los Angeles, Oct. 3.-Many detec-
tives are working feverishly to run
down the persons responsible for the
explosion that destroyed the Los Ange'
les Times building causing many
deaths. Every clue, mo matter, how
fiimsy, is being run down, and there
seems little or no chance OF the assas-
sins escaping.
Burns, Moran, Chief Galloway and
city officials who have examined the
demolished and burned structure are
positive that it was nitro-glycerine and
not gas that caused the wreck. Every
sale Of nitro-glycerine and dynamite on
the coast during the past month is be-
ing traced, and this method is expected
to produce promising results, the de-
tectives say.
The third arrest since the explosion
was that OF Martin Eagam, an alleged
anarchist.
Meanwhile the search for bodies con-
Times. Five badly charred corpses
have already been found and the man
agement OF the Times announces that
it now appears certain that nineteen
we're killed. The corpses we're found
under heavy masses OF steel what we're
once linotype machines, and the sup
ports OF the buliding) mutlated beyond
identification.
General Otis issued long statement
today, thanking his friends for their
warm sympathy and reiterating his de-
termination to rebuild the Times build
ing better than ever, and to prosecute
the war FOR industrial freedom" more
relentIessly than ever. The work OF
rehabilitation will begin at once, he
said.
Squads OF detectives are constantly
on guard at the home of General Otis,
and his son-in-law, Harry Chandler,
general manager.
The rewards for the apprehension oil
the guilty persons now total SIS, 800.
Mayor Alexander announced that the
city's reward has been increased to
$40. 900, and this with the 81 800 offer
ed by the Central Labor Council and
other smaller amounts make this total.
The police today announced that they
had found four one pound sticks oil
dynamite and a box OF explosive caps
last night near the plant OF the MaleI
Brewing Company. The plant has
been recently threatened several times
with dynamiting.

Governor and Police Board.

Baltimore, Oct. 3.-There was an at
tempt made to call out the militia to-
lay in an effort to settle the squabble
between Gov. Crothers, OF Maryland,
and the police commissioners OF Balti-
more city. This is based upon state
nent made by the governor at noon to-
DAY. There will be no developments
today" said the governor President
Whetele, OF the police board, is i'll with
appendices.
The warlike attitude existing between
the chief executive Of the state and the
police board was brought about by the
governors charges of alleged incom-
potency on the part of the board in
failing to GUST police officials who we're
suspected of misconduct in office. The
governor threatened to suspend the
present board and appoint successors.
This led to hostilities, the police board
posting armed guards TO keep out any
invaders that the governor might at
tempt to seat. Then followed the re-
port that the state militia would be call
ed on for duty, under orders from the
governor, to take possession Of the board
room.

community that this is no time for

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY EVENING, OCT. 3

"WoMEN today do not seem TO appre-
ciate that the greatest power IN the
world is in their hands. They are Gus
todians OF the future, the wardens Of
the human race. Has the being to
whom has been confded the greatest
human mission the time to waste IN
buying dresses for lap dogs, OF wearing
those big, extravagant hats, and those
strange, fashionable gowns ?" 1t was
Cardinal Logue, the primate Of Ireland,
who in New York few days ago made
this interesting observation on the ten
denotes OF modern womanhood. !
don't like to see women lawyers, " he
continued. They get such rough
handling in the law courts. That IS
why do not care for women in poll
ties. 1t is not the woman who is unit
for politics; it is the politics that is un-
fit for the woman. The grandest pro
fession in the world for women IS car
ing for home and children. have

conversations of such Americans as L
have met an undue reverence for the
dollar. But there is the rush every
where; the frightful tension that tells
OF the dollar hunt. | do not say that
YOU care for mOuey more than any
other nation; but you work harder for
it. You expect to get rich, or go bank
rupt in night. You are not willing
to plod." Cardinal Logue is a keen OBJ
server OF human events and it did
not take him long to catch on to
American habits and customs.

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

President Taft delivered what will
probably be his only public address of
the present campaign at the banquet OF
the National Republican League at the
Hotel Astor in New York Saturday
night.
The president speech was marked by
an unusually conciliatory tone toward
the insurgent wing OF the party. He
gave all factions OF the party" due
credit for their share in helping TO put
through Congress the legislative pro-
gram. which the president took occasion
to outline in some detail. The record
OF the past Is months he declared was
an earnest desire OF the party to fulfil
its platform promises and obligations,
and he promised that il the republican
majority in Congress should be con-
tnued at the coming elections the work
thus far left undone would be carried
through to completion.
Upon the whole republican party
the president bestowed the title OF
progressive. 4" Then he undertook
to define just what is meant by pro-
gressive."
A party Of true progress is not o
party of radicalism," he declared amid
cheers.
1t is not a party OF ultra-cOnser-
vaiism," he added, and again was
cheered.
"A progressive republican, y" the
president went on, is one who recog-
nizes existing and concrete evils aud
who is in favor OF practical and definite
steps to eradicate them"
Twice President Taft mentioned Mr..
Roosevelt by name in connection with
the campaign against corporate abuses,
and the third time by inference, when
he referred to the New York situation.
The cause of republicanism in this
state, he said, has been heartened by a
brave declaration of principle and by
the nomination Of a candidate for gov
ernor of the highest character and
ability. At the same time, Mr.. Ia
did not take an altogether sanguine view
Of the benefits that are to accrue from
direct primary experiments, but he
hoped that the idea could be turned TO
useful and permanent betterment oil
politics.
But however effective these sug-
gested changes may prove at first, " he
added, Il venture to say that no great
permanent good can come from them.
unless they are accompanied by a
change in the individual voter, and his
awakening to the necessity for constant
watchfulness and effort on his part to
prevent the old evils from appearing in
a new guise. "
President Taft announced that he
had directed the tariff commission to
make no report Of the work it has ac-
complished up to this time until after
the election. He took this step, he
declared, in order to lift the commits
sion out OF politics entirely. He re-
ferred to his suggested future revision
OF the tariff schedule by schedule, and
declared that the Payne tariff law is
coming generally to be recognized as a
most creditable bill.
The president declared for a sweep
ing extension OF the civil service, taking
stand in favor Of putting all post
masters, collectors of customs and in
ternal revenues, surveyors OF customs
and appraisers on the permanent rolls
OF the government, thus leaving but
little OF the patronage OF old.
