they were ahead of their usual bios
soming season. In southwestern
Michigan, some reports say, the entire
crop is ruined.
Illinois and Indiana both suffered
severely. In some sections the whole
fruit crop was ruined. Iowa straw
berries were damaged about so per
cent In Ohio there was great loss to
fruits and vegetables. In Kansas and
Nebraska, where fruits were even far
ther ahead than in Michigan, the frost
did tremendous damage in sections.
Grains Affected.
Grains are reported to have suffered
severely everywhere, the loss on oats
being particularly heavy. In some sec
-tieps-tffeA entire oats crop WIN have
to be resolved. Wherever the first
joint was out of the ground the frost
killed the growing grain.
Farmers generally believe that the
fate of the whole crop of the middle
west will be decided in the neSt two
or three days. If the weather moder-
ates suddenly the loss will be great.
If there are more killing frosts the
loss may be almost total. If the tenn
perature hovers two or three degrees
above the freezing point 4S hours and
then rises slowly a large percentage
of the loss now anticipated may be
discounted.
Illinois Records Broken.

M,vEAGH PLEADS ron UNITY
Secretary Tells of TafCs Ability for
Future Usefulness.

TOLEDO. o.. Nov. 2-"As the twig is
bent in 1910 the tree will be inclined in
1912" declared Secretary OF the Treasury
MacVeagh here tonight in an address In
which he urged Ohio republicans to keep
in power the republican party, the most
powerful political organization or progress
existing today in any nation of the world"
and to indorse William II. Taft, already
laden with practical and permanent tri-
umphs and not in any degree near the end
OF his broad and wise plans and purposes
OF public usefulness.
Acknowledging fear Of possible defeat for
the republican party in the coming cleo
ions, Mr. MacVeagh said that the de
.nand OF the times therefore, so far as we
republicans are concerned, is that we shall
ach and all sit up nights to think out
WAYS TO secure the triumph of the party
and to think out ways OF keeping It in
power.
The country needs it," he continued
and every legitimate interest In the coun-
Try needs It; and, now that we have be-
come a real world power the world needs
it. 1t is our duty to our party to min
imize our differences"
Mr. MacVeagh declared that the election
in Ohio in 1910 and in all other states, but
for obvious reasons in Ohio particularly,
involves with great distincuveness the
election OF 1912"
Though expressing full confidence in the
power Of the republican party to win in
1912. even il il should meet reverses this
year, saying that nigh vitality such as
exists in the republican party Of today
cannot be destroyed by one or more than
one defeat that is meaningless and sense
less" He urged his hearers to do their
best for party victory, Ito think Of the
people and their interests and not Of our
selves and our political indigestions and
bad tempers"
Ever since 1896 this party has not only
been the governmental hope Of the nation,
| but Il has been a constantly developing
and practical author Of great national de-
velopment These thirteen years Of repub-
ucan administration constitute the greatest
period of party usefulness that has marked
the history of this party-governed nation
We can never understand the handling OF
I the tariff issue by the republican party
or by the president" said Mr.. MacVeagh
