no pretention to being an orator His talks are the embodiment of simplicity and are delivered in such a manner as to appeal forcibly to the uneducated
 Love was the topic of the short ad- dress given by the doctor at the meeting yesterday afternoon, the text being taken from the second chapter of the Song of Solomon: My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away"
 There are two kinds of love, the doctor said the usual love of mortal for mortal and the superior love of mortal for the Great Lover.
 You will never forget me after this afternoon" said pr. Yoakum, flor I am going to make you love me. After I am gone if you hear people say that I am seoundre and a grafter you will not be- lieve it.''
 A large number of people filed up to shake the doctors hand and receive his prayer and blessing before the meeting was over The handkerchiefs which Dr. Yoakum has prayed over were distributed in great quantity to those who wished to take them home to sick relatives Won derful cures have been performed by this method, the doctor claims

MINNESOTA HOLDS
 PRIMARY ELECTION
Great Interest Taken in the
 Political Fights
TAWNEY HARD PRESSED
It Is Predicted That There Will Be More Democrats in the Stnte Legislature Than Ever
 Before

St. Paul, Minn., September 1S.-Tuesday primary elections will be held through this state. when congressional, county and legislative nominees will be selected by the various parties.
 Not in years has so much interest been taken In the congressional campaigns, owing to the fights being made on such men as James A. Tawney in the First district, Fred C. Stevens in the Fourth the exception of Congressman c. R. Davis in the Third and A. J. Vosted in the Seventh, both of whom have a clear field, every Minnesota member has a hot fight on this year and the fight in each case Is being made by a candidate on an avowed "progressive'' platform.
 The warmest fight and the one with both on account of MT. Tawneys prom thence and because Clifford Pinchot, Fran cis J. Heney and even Theodore Roose- welt have seen fit to take hand in the fight against the incumbent. Sidney An derson, a young attorney of Lanesboro, Is the progressive candidate and he is admittedly giving MT. IaWney the naruest fight of his career.
 In three other districts there are pro- gressives who are making fights that are attracting attention, although the pros- pect of the defeat of the present members Is smaller In the Fourth Hugh T. Hal bert of St. Paul is fighting F. C. Stevens; A. H. Sallis Is after F. M. Wye in the Fifth and Alex Mcknight is opposing c. B. Miller in the Eighth. H. o. Obgeorge is contesting Halvor Steenerson's seat but the latter feels confident of re-elec- tion. In the Second district two repub- licans are contesting for the right to. go against Congressman w s. Hammond, as the latter is reasonably certain of getting the democratic nomination.
 It Is generally predicted that there will be more democrats in the state legislature this year than ever before. The ques- tion of county options has been advanced in districts where there are divisions and there are some interesting contests on.

BALLINGER FLATLY
 DENIES REPORTS

Boise, Idaho. September 1S.-"It Is true that I am going to Washington to attend series of cabinet meetings which will last for about a week, but all the mem- bers of the cabinet have been called by the President to discuss various mat ters pertaining to the government I do not know that anything affecting me per sonally will be discussed at all"
 Tn this way Secretary of the Interior Ballnger this afternoon fatly denied the report recently sent out from Washing ton and supposedly from an authoritative source, to the effect that he was hasten ing to the national capital to attend a meeting of the cabinet when he would put it up straight to his republican col leagues to sustain him or turn him down, and that he had determined, in the event of being sustained by the other members of the cabinet, to remain in office, regard less of any pressure that might be brought to bear to force his resignation, but that if the heads of other departments re- pudiated him he would resign without waiting for the report of the congression- al Investigating committee. When asked whether he had read the dispatches re- ferred to, Ballinger said;
 Yes, I read every word of 1t. But it is absolutely without foundation. so far as I am concerned. Such a proposi- tion has never even occurred to me. It is silly, absurd and I simply laughed at it''
 When asked whether he had consulted any of his cabinet colleagues whether he should submit the question of re- signing to the republican members of the cabinet Mr Ballinger said:
 "That is all rot and l won't discuss it any further"
 Do you intend to resign?" was askedA
 What I have said before along thaf line still stands. l will not resign as long as am sustained by the President I cannot see what, connection the other members of the cabinet can have In this matter. Certainly. I never have made any such suggestion and l am ignorant of such suggestion having been made by any other member of the cabinet"

SOCIALISTS OPEN
 PARTY CAMP A|GN Debs Hurls Philippics Right
 and Left '
 s- KNOCKS CONSTITUTION Say Foundation of Our Government Keeps Working Class Down and Supreme Court Is Organiza-
 ton of the Rich
KNOCKS CONSTITUTION

Chicago, September 1S.-Eugene V. Debs, formerly socialist candidate for President of the United States, opened the fall campaign for the socialist party In Cook county here today in a speech in which he launched into philippics against the United States supreme court. the na- tional constitution, labor unions, federal judges and finally individuals. In the latter class he named Theodore Roose- George B. Cortelyou, Judge Peter S. Grosscup of Chicago and August Bel mont.
 '"rhe constitution of the United States said MT. Debs. 'fs-a class document. It was prepared by the colonial capitalists with the distinct idea of keeping the working classes down. Alexander Hamii- ton. an aristocrat, wielded the chief in- fiuence in it's framing.
 'The supreme court of the United States always has been capitalistic organiza- tion. It is made up of nine corporation lawyers and it's master is the trusts who control the government in every depart ment.
 ""The American people in some respects are the most cowardly on earth The thing for them to do is to organize a great industrial organization embracing all the workers and not just a collection of labor unions. The day of labor unions Is passed. It was good thing once but now it is the tool of capital, and capital is the politician.
 "The.- -so-called labor leaders are mis- leaders. We see Sam Gomjers and John Mitchell sitting at the same table with August Belmont and other rich enemies of the working classes. Of the men, Bel mont and Comp ITS, I have infinitely more respect for the former, plutocrat and plunderer though he may be, than for the latter, man who betrays the people ne has been chosen to ssrve.'
 Discussing former President Roosevelt, Mir Debs said:
 He Is a dishonest man. He advocates publicity for campaign contributors but ignors a challenge to publish the names of the trusts that furnished money to elect him In 1904. George B. Cortelyou, a Roosevelt lackey, went to the trusts and used the information he had to hold them up for millions"

This was inter- spersed with short speeches from those in attendance and the rendition of Annie Laurie" lead by Uncle" Jimmie Hill house, chief mine inspector. The entire assemblage joined in the chorus of this popular Scotch air
 The affair was pronounced one of great enjoyment and it served a far-reaching purpose in that those who design the great undertakings in this field were thrown into social intercourse with those men who fight the battles on the firing line.
 Those who made addresses included MT. Hnlhouse, Senator" Jones Moore, MT. Brown, w. H. Woodward, MT. Ramsay and others.
 Among those invited were: w. H. Woodward, pr. R. NJ. Cunningham. George Gordon Crawford, Frank Crock ard, Jones Moore, Edward Crawford, Robert McGil, Clyde W. Ennis. Dr. Rountree, George B.

 In spte of the statement of Alderman Moore, Alderman Morgan issued a circu- lar yesterday to the effect that 1t is undisputed that the electric light plant can be so developed that it will event. ually furnish all the lights used by the city of Birmingham, for each of which the city now pays s6o per annum. He adds: "The water works plant at North Birmingham, if retained and operated by the city, will save the territory served about 40 per cent of the annual cost of water supply in North Birmingham. And remember, both electric and water plants carry perpetual franchises
 Alderman Morgan urges the people not 10 sleep on their rights, and charges that the special interests desiring to purchase the plants and franchises are depending on the election going by default.

The lower floor of the Orpheum theatre
 was completely filled yesterday afternoon for the occasion of the public address
 and demonstration of Dr. F. E. Yoakum, the head of the Pisgah movement, whose remarkable work has been attracting at Itention In Birmingham since last Thurs day.
 Dr. Yoakum has been holding meetings each day since Thursday at the Cham Der of Commerce auditorium, where crowds of the diseased, crippled and sore in spirit have assembled to be cured by faith The big meetings held yesterday jafternoon in the Orpheum theatre and | last night at the Third Presbyterian church were the last of his stay in Bir- mingham. He will return this morning | by way of Shreveport to Los Angeles,
 where his "Pispah'' home for consump-
 tives, drunkards and other unfortunates
 lis established.
 II At no previous meeting was better
 demonstrated the remarkable sway which
 Dr Yoakum holds over his hearers than
 at that of yesterday afternoon. The pub
 lie in general was not admitted until 4
 O clock, the meeting for ladies having
 lasted from o'clock to that time, but it was not long past o'clock when Dr. Yoakum' had the majority of his audience |ldeeply impressed.
 I The meeting was typical of pr, Yoa- Ikum's method. Hymns sung were inter- spersed with prayers for the souls of lpeople, made by the doctor at request of Then more hymns were sung land confessions of sins and faults were |lheard from individuals The last act was prayer for the body, or for those Iafflicted with disease or deformity. II A pile of sacks of smoking tobacco, cakes of chewing tobacco. cigarettes and Ithe like, which was in evidence upon the stage, bore witness to the influence of |IDr. Yoakums prayers and admonitions to 1.-the devils own truck declared the doc tor.
 Il An old man who complained of being afflicted with deafness appealed to Dr. |lYoakum for prayer. The prayer was \ Elgiyen and the ear trumpet used by the old gentleman was immediately there after added to the pile of ,curios on the
 stage.
 N Another man. who complained of rheu- matism was prevailed upon through the |inf1uence of his faith to discard his ] walking stick, and it was sent to join | the tobacco and ear trumpet. Dr. Yoakum is no preacher, and makes
