YOUNG MEN G[T ID WORK
 AND MAKE GOOD SHOWING
Director Ward Asks That Citizens Aid Solicitors As Thousands of Men Are Yet To Be
 Seen.
The following subscriptions for 5000 and over were announced yester-

: Capt K. S. White ............... 1,00O Mrs. E. L. Watts ................ 1,G00 The late F. E. Smith ............ 1000
 The entrance of the young men into the campaign. a continued man to man campaign by the business men, and a general spirit of enthusiasm over the whole city, was responsible for nearly SIS. 900 being added to the Y. M. c. A. campaign fund yesterday, bringing the total to $120557. This Is nearly, though not quite double the amount which Nashville had on the same day, the fourth of the campaign.
 The committees have decided to com- plete the subscription by the first of next week, and are redoubling their energies for big reports every day this week. In other cities there has always been bad slump on the third or fourth day but the reports for Birmingham grow larger with each noon.
 The young mems committee, Fulton B. Clarke, chairman, after only half days work, came in with $2500. Their totals will be small because they are soliciting from the salaried men, but it is the salaried men who build the association, and the small sums are prized just as much as the others. Just so you give until you feel it. is what the committees ask.
 R. E. Collins, for the third successive time, led the business mems committee, bringing in 73 subscriptions. He is hedging closer to the leader, M. V. Joseph, and is making a strong effort to pass him on the inside lap.
 Dr. Cunningham Wilson, who got a late start, jumped from seventh to third place yesterday. Bailey's bunch passed Tyler, while Yancey and Estes moved up peg.
 The first subscription from trade union was received yesterday from the International Brick Layers union No. 1.

were Today there are few who do
not know that Taft smile is but a
mask of logged determination and
an iron will. He had determined
from the beginning that party pied
ges were made to be performed. To-
day these pledges are the laws of the
land.
No such program of constructive
and progressive legislation has ever
been enacted at any session of con-
gress in American history. 1t is a
record of magnificent achievement,
and the glory belongs first to the
president of the United States.'
Speaking of the republican insur-
gents, Mr.. Longworth said he did not
doubt but that the majority of them
are anxious for the welfare of the
party. He continued:
THE most idiotic of all the demo
cratic war cries is that the republl-
can party of today is under the domi-
nation of bosses who are, in their
turn, either in control or subservient
to special interests. We have fol-
lowed and we shall continue to fol-
low the policies of Theodore Roose-
welt
The principal issue upon which
we, the republican party, in Ohio,
will appeal to the people in this cam
paign is, and must inevitably be, the
tariff. We could not dodge it if we
would; we ought not to if we could.
We are responsible for it in the full
est sense. 1t would be mere futility
to attempt now to shirk our respon-
sibility."

Wreck Hearing May Be Moved to

perior court of Spokane county by
A. B. Hensel against the Great Nor
thern Railway company and j. H.
O'Neill asking for a change of venue
for the trial from Spokane county
to Snohomish.
This is the case regarding the
blame for the Wellington wreck,
and in the papers filed it is shown
that some 80 Or 40 witnesses from
the scene of the wreck will be call
ed by the defendants. They ask the
change in view of the fact that the
expense to these defendants in pros
ecuting their defense in the trial
would be enormously increased by
the expense of taking the witnesses
to Spokane.

Miss Malley was perfectly orderly
and there was no blocking of the

her to stop, and when, contending
that the highways belong to the peo-

station and several stalwart blue

Followed by $50 people, she walk

SPOKE
To REPUBLICANS
Is Temporary Chairman of
Ohio State Republi-
can Convention.

Columbus, Ohio, July 26.-Nicho-
las LongwOrth, temporary chairman
of the republican state convention,
in calling the delegates to order,
made an eloquent address. He is
formidable candidate for governor
of that state as a compromise can
didate He said:
Our democratic opponents have
nominated as head of their ticket
about that Whatever may be the
principles he stands for, principles
which in our opinion would spell, if
adopted, the ruination of this coun-
try, Judson Harmon is nevertheless
a big, forceful individual; a keen,
shrewd politician always on the job,
man with unlimited confidence in
himself and his lucky star.
Not content with nominating him
self for governor, he has nominated
himself for president also There is
nothing small about him. 1t appears
that if elected he does not intend to
serve out his term as governor; the
program, as frankly announced at the
democratic convention is that he
shall resign after a few months and
turn over the office to the candidate
for lieutenant governor, gentleman
by the name of Pomerene. But will
the people endorse this program?
Will they consent to be used as stool
pigeons to further the ambitions of
these men? For one, | cannot be-
lieve it.
Laying all other questions aside,
there is one thing in Judson Har-
mons career that disqualifies him
for the presidency. No man who
has spent the active years of his pro-
fessional life as an advocate of the
interests of corporate wealth can
bring to the presidency that single
minded devotion to interests of the
people, that capacity for seeing
clearly their side of the question.
that they have the right to demand. "
The speaker declared Mr.. Harmon,
while governor, has left his office
to appear in the courts in the advo-
cacv of the interests of his private
clients. rs this" the speaker ask
ed, proper in an aspirant for the
presidency"
AN Ohio man, a lawyer too, is
president of the United States. How
different have been the use of his
legal talents. They have not been
employed in the service Of the rail-
roads and corporations but in the
service of the people.
Whatever the people may have
thought a few weeks ago, there is
no question about it today. Presi-
dent Taft has made good. Few men
realize what fixity of purpose, what
strength, sagacity, good humor and
patience were required to bring or
der out of the chaos that existed
during the closing weeks Of this ses-
sion of congress. Some people mis-
took his good humor for weakness,
his patience for pliability; even this
has proved how sadly mistaken they
