Of them from the .honors and privil.
eyes which propeAy attach to mem
bership in the Republican party"
After urging Strengthening of the
antitrust law, the platform concludes
with an Endorsement ofothe postal saw
ings bank bill, suggesting, however,
as the Democratic platform recently
adopted at Ottumwa, that the law
should provide that savings deposited
with these banks shall remain on de-
post for use in the communities where
the deposits are made The policy of
conservation of natural resources, in
come tax and good *roads are upheld.
The primary law Of the state should
be strengthened. United States SEN
ators should be elected by direct vote.
1t is urged that the, present method Of
representation in national conventions
based on memberRcf congress is un-
fair.
Representation OF the basis of party
strength is suggested. On the subject
of temperance the resolutions declared
that under the mulct law temperance
territory has expanded, temperance
sentiment increased and saloon influ-
ence minimized. No backward step
will be taken under Republican rule.

Pacific Coaster is Rammed by the
Chippewa.
Seattle, Aug. 4.-The steamer Chip.
pewa rammed the old wooden steamer
Albion off West Point, north Of the
entrance to Seattle harbor. The Chip
pewa was returning to Seattle from
Everett, after carrying an excursion
party to Vancouver, B. c., and back
and had no passengers.
Ten passengers bound for Everett
were aboard the Albion, but as far as
known none of them was injured.
The hull Of the wooden vessel was
pierced by the bow of the heavier
steamer and the two were wedged
tightly together. The passengers on
the Albion, which probably will be a
total loss, were transferred to the
Chippewa.
The Chippewa is a steel steamer Of
e96 tons. She was built at Toledo,
Ohio in 1900, and is owned by the
Puget Sound Navigation company.
The Albion is one of the Oldest
steamers engaged in local trade ON the
sound. She is a wooden vessel of
about $50 tons and is owned by The

FIGHT IS BEGlN ON TAWNEY
SIDNEY A. ANDERSON OUTLINES
HIS CAMPAIGN,
Country Leaders Believe the Lance
boro Man Has Fine Chance
For Victory.

Albert Lea, Aug. 3.-Insurgent Re
publicans assembled here, and the
first gun in the campaign against Con.
gresham James A. Tawney has been
fired. Sydney A. Anderson of Lanes.
boro, Fillmore county, the candidate OF
the progressives was present, and
made stirring address to the as.
sembled prosressives, outlining what
might be expected of him, should he
be elected and also what sort of a
campaign might be hoped for.
His business and campaign man.
ager, O. NJ. Levang, the original" in.
surgent, accompanied him and is ell.
thusiastic over prospects for success
at the primaries. Representatives
were present from practically every
county in the district and many of the
committeeman reported great enthusi.
asm over Mr.. Anderson's entrance in.
to the field.
Thomas Frazer of Rochester, one OF
the most radical OF the insurgents
stated that in Olmsted county the dis
satisfied voters had been only awaiting
the entry of some good candidate to
express their disapproval Of Tawney,
and that they had taken up with And
erson at once, and would support him
to the last ditch.
He is confident that Tawney will
lose Olmsted. Eugene Miller Of Wi
mona, is also delighted over Anderson
entrance and believes that they now
stand good chance to make deep in
roads into TaWney's vote in Winona
county. T. p. Kelley of Owatonna, who
was originally urged to make the run,
was present at the meeting and pledg-
ed his hardest efforts towards the sue.
cess of the progressives. He has can
vassed Steele county very carefully,
and Is OF the opinion that Tawney will
lose the county by considerable ma
jority.
Campaign Short.
The campaign agreed upon is to be
short and decisive. Anderson will
speak in every voting precinct in the
district and will conduct q whirlwind
fight.
To those who have suggested that
the time remaining is too brief, he
cites the fact that Knatvold made but
a three weeks campaign and yet
placed the Winona man in perilous
danger Of defeat. Anderson is him
self confident of success, and will put
in some strenuous days from now until
after the primaries.
Papers to Be Used.
One of the first things that will be
done, is to line up those papers which
are opposed to Tawney and endeavor
to conduct through them a liberal adj
vertising campaign, the idea of Ander-
son being that as much publicity as
possible is desirable.
Levang cited a long list of papers
throughout the district which were to
be counted as insurgent publications
The active campaign will begin the lat
ter part of the week when Anderson
will sound the keynote of his fight and
will make public declaration of his

United States Senator From Iowa.
in which he declared that a party in
which there were no differences of
opinion could not live.
Features Of Platform.
The platform in part declares:
1.-THE last Republican national plat
form announced with clearness and
precision the rules for it's application
to imports and when 80 applied it
safeguards equally the interests Of
labor and capital and promotes equally
the welfare of the producer and the
consumer. They do not recognize the
revision Of 1909 as satisfactory full
fllment of the party promises.
I'm order to bring the tariff law
into complete compliance with the
rule of the platform, it is necessary
that the difference between the cost
of producing dutiable commodities at
home and abroad should be correctly
known.
Therefore they favor the creation
of an Independent, nonpartisan tariff
commission which shall be the instru
mentality Of congress to ascertain the
difference between the cost Of produc
ton here and in other countries and
publish the facts so that not only con-
gress but the people shall be advised
of the results of It's investigations
Until such q commission is authorized
they approve the efforts Of the presi
don< - oAnuro tho daQired inform a tiou
through board of experts employed
for that purpose.
Taft Endorsed"
They profoundly believe that when
the tariff is again revised its schedules
should be considered separately, so
that each subject can be dealt with
upon its own merits and thus secure
fair and impartial action upon the
part Of congress. They endorse such

RUMOR AGAIN OF
ELECTRIC MERGER
Colonel Sparks Explains Award
of City Lighting Contract
Yesterday

Since the application Of the Whining
ton Light, Power and Telephone Com
pany for a separation Of its electric and
its telephone franchises was granted by
the Street and Sewer directors this week,
so that those branches OF the business can
be operated independently Of each other,
rumors have been renewed that the VII
mington Light. Power and Telephone
Company and the Wilmington City Elec-
trio Company il the near future may be
merged into OF 3 company. Officials Of
both companies to-day said they knew Of
no negotiations looking toward a merger
although Il was admitted that the way
would be easier with the Light and Power
Company's electric business divorced from
the telephone business.
Colonel George w Sparks, president Of
the street and Sewer Commission, to-day
said he did not know whether the contract
for Tungsten incandescent lights for five
years at Sl5 a year each as awarded by
the Commission yesterday would be ac-
cepted by the Wilmington City Electric
/ Company.
I'VE considered it would have been use
less to have advertised for bids again.
especially since we advertised for ds for
lighting four different times without
avail" said Mr Sparks. He said that on
January 2S. 1898, one bid for gas lighting
was received but not opened because there
was no competition. No electric light bid
was received. and the contract Of the
Wilmington City Electric Company was
extended. on March 3. 1908, one gas and
one electric bid was received. but moth
ing was done because there was no
competition. on June 1, 1909, two gas
lighting bids were received, and an
award was made. but no electric light
ing bid was received. and on October
5, 1909. no electric bids We're received

EFFECT OF MERGER
OF ENGINEERS

The ordinance coming before Council to-
night to merge the engineering forces OF
the city does not affect the appointment of
the chief engineer or assistant engineer
of the Street and Sewer Department.
which positions are now held by Alexan-
der j. Taylor and Henry Maier. They arc
provided for by statute of the Legislature,

selection. Council only will select the en-
gineers in the surveying department as II
has done in the past but the Street and
Sewer Commission will have jurisdiction
over them. They can be removed from Of
fee only for cause but not before a public
hearing is extended to the incumbent. The
charges must come from the chief en-
gineer.
