Reverses Primary Verdict.


Des Moines, Iowa, Aug 4.-Iows
came back yesterday.
Defeated at the primary election IN
the nomination of a candidate for gov
ernor in sympathy with the progres
sive program with which the insurgent
Iowa delegation in congress has beer
identified, the republicans of the stats
in convention lined up with Indiana il
endorsing its senators and in demand
ing redemption of party pledges.
Here in epicome are the results o.
the day:
Senators Cummins and Dolliver
and the insurgent delegation at
Washington were enthusiastically
endorsed.
The new tariff law was branded
as a failure in the light of the par
ty pledge of 1908.
Tame Endorsement for Taft.
President Taft received the most
tepid of lukewarm endorsements.
A sop of harmony was flung out
in the endorsement of the admin
istration of Governor Carroll.
An attempt to use the "steam
roller" to make the state central
committee Overwhelmingly pro-
gressive was called off presumably
at the hint of Senator Cummins.
Senator Cummins was temporary
chairman; Senator Dolliver perma-
nent chairman.
The progressive majority ranged
close to 300 on every question.
The resolutions committee was
progressive, 6 to 5.
The convention nominated a
progressive for state superintend-
ent in the person of County Super
intendent A. NJ Deyoe of Hancock
county, from a field of seven
Supreme Judge d. w. Evans and
H. E. Deemer were renominated,
without opposition.
Records Made for White House.
The standpatters demanded the max
ing of a record to show the White
house that federal patronage in lows
belongs to the reactionaries of the par
ty. The progressives permitted roll
calls and at least a half dozen times
won victories by majorities of from
240 to 2S5 in a total vote of 300.
The first test of strength of the fac
tions in the party came on the election
of United States Senator J. P. DolliveI
for permanent chairman. He was elect
ed over ]. c. Mabrie of Abba by 2S5
majority.
Regrets Taft Praise.
Another test came when the stand
pat minority of the committee on res
olutions proposed a plank of fulsome

What was the name of the man

We'll" replied Gore, Il don't like
to say. Indeed 1 could not repeat it
without a great deal of reluctance.
Now, Senator Core" explained
Burke, this committee has come
here to get all the facts and we want
you to tell all you know"
We'll as that is true" responded
Gore, Il will tell all l know. The
man mentioned by Harmon as being
higher up and interested in the Nc
Murray contracts was Vice President
Sherman"
Drop the Subject.
No further questions were asked
concerning the mention of Vice Presi-
dent Sherman. On cross examind-
tion Gore said he had business rela-
tions with Harmon, their relations
always friendly, and that he had con-
sidered him truthful man in most
cases, but though he would deviate
little on occasions.
Congressman Approached.
Gore said Congressman Creager of
the Third Oklahoma district also had
been approached in connection with
a bribery offer, and that Creager told
him so, and also urged him to go
ahead with the charges, and he
would stand by him, giving his testi-
mony.
Gore is Ready.
Muskogee, Okla, Aug. 4.-When the
special committee appointed by the
house of Representatives to investigate
the McMurray contracts with the Choc-
taw and Chickasha Indians, involving
the sale of land estimated to be worth
$50 ,0OO,0 900, convened today, Senator
Gore announced he was ready to name
the individual who, he said, offered
him and a member of the house each
SIS, 900 to withdraw opposition to the
scheme whereby $3,0O0,OOO would be
paid for attorneys fees"
Represented 10 Per Cent.
This latter sum, he declared, repre-
sented 10 per cent of the amount which
the syndicate was prepared to pay for
coal and asphalt lands now belonging
to the Indians, and it was to be paid
in conformity with contracts made in
dividually with 10000 Indians, provid-
ed the contracts would receive the ap-
proval of congress. 1t was with the
purpose of having the contracts ap-
proved and thus diverting the IL per
cent into the hands of certain attor-
neys, Gore declared, the bribe was of
fered him to have withdrawn any leg
islation which would invalidate the
contracts.
Guaranteed Sale without Cost.
"As a matter of fact" Gore said to-
day, previous to the opening of the
investigation, ''the government already
had guaranteed to sell the lands for
the Indians without the expense of any
attorneys fees, and 1t would be absurd
for congress to sanction the McMurray
contracts
The land involved includes 100000
acres in the Choctaw and Chickasha
nations, and. according to the geologi-
cal survey, the mineral deposits there
in are worth S160,0OO,000.

the gruesome triple murder enacted on

FORMER FILES ACTION
Alleged That Letter Aims to COM
pIeteIy Crush Competition
Would Halt Mergers.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 4.-The future
of the independent telephone COM
panies is believed involved in the suit
filed yesterday against the American
Telephone and Telegraph company and
allied corporations by the Kinloch Long
Distance company of Missouri.
Judge James A. Creighton granted
an injunction against the American Tel
ephone and Telegraph company, the
Central Union Telephone company, the
Vandalia Telephone company, the Fay
cite County Telephone and Telegraph
company as well as agents and en-
ployes, preventing the transfer of any
stock, assets or property of the Van
dalia Telephone company and requir-
ing the preservation of the status quo,
at least in Fayette county, until the
case is decided. The restraining or
der is returnable on Sept. at Spring
field.
Would Frustrate Plan.
The wire trust has, according to in
formation acquired by the Kinloch,
got control of the Interstate Indepen-
dent Telephone and Telegraph COM
psny of Illinois, with headquarters sat
Aurora, which operates local and long
distance exchanges from Springfield to
a station within several miles of Chi
cago. Thomas B. Harlan, who filed the
Springfield suit, maintains that the
wire trust can be frustrated in this
plan, which would bar independent
companies from Chicago, if the pend
ing suit is won.
Is Strong independent.
The Kinloch company, which is
deemed the largest and strongest in
dependent concern in the United
States, has traffic contracts with local
independent companies in Illinois and
reaches about 800 points in the state,
in addition to hundreds of cities, towns,
and stations in Missouri, Indiana, Kan
sas and adjacent states. In accord
ance with these contracts, the local
companies not only are obliged to
transact all long distance business
with the Kinloch, but are prohibited
from selling, leasing, or otherwise dis
posing of properties to the impairment
of the contract, without the consent
of the Kinloch The contract is in
effect perpetual, as it lasts during the
life of the original franchise OF the
local company and of each subsequent
franchise or removal
Sought to Crush Competition.
The present suit resulted from in
formation which the Kinloch company
recently obtained concerning the ef
forts of the American Telephone and
Telegraph company. which is the hold
ing corporation of the Bell Telephone
company and the Western Union Tele-
graph company, to eliminate competi-
ton by absorbing a myriad of inde-
pendent local concerns and by eXclud-
ing the Kinloch from territory held
by both the Bell and the Kinloch.
The wire trust obtained control of
the independent companies at Green
vile, Taylorville and Eflingham. It's
taking steps to exercise control over
the independent company at Vandalia
makes Illinois the battle-ground for the
struggle between the wire trust and
the independent companies. The sit
uation in each city and county
will depend. Harlan thinks, on the out.
come of the Vandalia suit.
