Amt Bristow Wise?

SALINA, Kansas, Aug. 3O.-U. S.
Senator Joseph l.. Bristow of Kan
sas, holds President Taft's knowledge
of the tariff up to ridicule and charges
him with lack of dignity in signed
article today. He denies that the wool
bill was prepared hastily. He says:
Heretofore our presidents have not
INDUCED in cheap political arguments
when visiting the people. Everybody
who knows Senator LaFollette knows
him to be a man of great thorough
ness who goes most elaborately into
every detail of the legislation propos-
ed and for Taft to criticize LaFollette
is ridiculous. The presidents efforts
to use the tariff board to prevent ex
cessive duties, demonstrates that the
country needs tariff commission"

ALL RECORDS
WERE BROKEN
Largest Crowd That Ever Gathered at
State Fair Was There Yes
terday.

DES MONIES, Aug. 30.-The great
est crowd that ever assembled on the
Iowa state fair grounds gathered
there yesterday.
Official returns could not be had up
to a late hour last night, but the high
est previous record of attendance
was broken along about o'clock.
This record was made on Wednes-
day of fair week, 1909, when there
was an attendance of $4,000 The
ticket men estimated at O'Clock last
night that 10000 people were on the
grounds.
This estimate was based on g
canvass of the turnstiles at 1:3C
o'clock.
Every indication is that when the
result of the final count is known, the
/ records will show an attendance o.
10000.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-La Fol-
lette headquarters were opened in the
Evans building, within short block
of the white house, today. The des-
ignation given the office Is Progress
sive Republican national headquar-
ters.' 1t is in charge Of w. L. Haw-
ser, former secretary of state under
La Follette's governorship Of Wiscon-
sin.
A formal announcement Of La Fol-
lette's ambition to be president would
be superfluous to any one acquainted
with him and his course in Washing
ton. The announcement comes al
most simultaneously with the declra-
ton Of Senator Cummins of Iowa that
he favors La Toilette for president.
Senators Bristow, Clapp and Works
have made similar announcements
since they left Washington.
The plan as announced, is to es-
tablish headquarters in every state
where there is insurgency or any hope
of electing few delegates to the ma
/ tional convention. Medill Mccormick,
| formerly editor and me.-ager of the
Chicago Tribune, 1t Is announced, will

How the insurgents can expect o.
hope to bring about La Follette's nom
ination over Taft is difficult to unde
stand in the face of present condi
tions Taft will have the 316 votes
of the south, the votes of Missouri
being included in this figure for con
venience by those estimating th'
strength of the executive. The New
England states have Lightweight vote
and there is little disaffection eA
cept in Massachusetts and New Hamr
shire, but Taft will receive PRACTICAL
all Of these delegates. New HamI
shire has six and Massachusetts sly
teen. Taft will have New York, whic
under the reapportionment, will hav
ninety votes; will have Pennsylvania
seventy-six, and Ohio forty-eight. Thi
will give him a total of 61S, withot

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-Storm clouds
IN the railroad labor situation became
more threatening when the manage.
ment of the Chicago & Northwestern
railway refused to negotiate with the
Federation of Mechanical Crafts on
Its line, and Vice President Park of
the Illinois Central issued state
ment of the same tenor.
That the breaking point is being
rapidly reached became evident when
strike breakers headquarters was es-
tablished and applications received
from mechanics willing to replace
those threatening to quit their posts.
Although arrangements were COM
pleted for a conference between AS
sistant General Manager Foley of the
Illinois Central and committee
composed OF international officers of
the crafts involved, it is regarded as
certain the company will not recede
from it's stand against the federation.

titude
With strained relations existing on
the Northwestern, which employs
more than 1000 shop mechanics. the
total number OF workers drawn into
the threatened conflict has been aug
mented to $4,000.
The workers represented include
car men, machinists, sheet-metal work
ers. blacksmiths and boiler.makers
There are 1000 of these mechanics
employed in the Chicago shops OF the
company.
Union leaders declared that the an
swer of the company was unexpected

ployes, it is declared, are strong sup
porters of the federation plan ant
