 La Toilette For The Presidency

Boston, Sept. 22.-Louis D. Bran deis, pedUle's lawyer, not only be- lieves President William Howard Taft will certainly be defeated at the polls, if nominated, but that there is "a large probability that Senator Robert La Toilette will even beat out MT. Taft for the nomination.
 Mr. Brandeis said, today, that La Toilette, of all men, ought to get the nomination and that, if the people of the country really knew exactly what LaFollette's true record is and what his ideals of the country are, they would insist on his nomination.
 Senator LaFollette ought to get the nomination" said MT. Brandeis. because he expresses better than any one else the peoples longings and needs, and he can turn his ideas into practical and constructive legislation which will prove in harmony with the wants of the people and the true needs of the interests and corpora tions. The increasing unrest of the people of the United States, incensed by special privilege, cannot but soon express itself for man of MT. La Follette's views and ideas"

SEN. BAILEY CHORTLEs.

Washington, Sept. s22-Democratic sentiment on the Canadian reciprocity election result is reflected by statet ments made today by Senator, Bailey of Texas, and Representative Sims of Tennessee
 '"Thes United States is to be congrat- ulated." This was the terse comment by Bailey, who voted against reciproc- ity in the Senate and led the small band of, it's Senatorial opposition.
 "I think it must be admitted on all sides that the Canadian elections will hurt the President and a1is party and aid the Democratic party in the next campaign" said Sims. Canadian reciprocity was held up before the country as a remedy for the high cost of living. It was the only remedy proposed by the Republican party. It was only one of many remedies pro posed by the Democrats. The high cost of living must be brought down by a reduction in the tariff all along the line, and I now make the predic- ton that the voters of the country will turn to the Democratic party in 1912n

ed in so far as out of thirty-fiVe houses inspected in one day, it was found they all used the town water for drinking purposes.
 Nobody is suspected of being the cause of the epidemic, though, of course. it must have been somebody: During August health officers scat tered through the 168 Connecticut towns reported to the office of vital statistics twenty-one cases of typhoid fever, of which number three cases were reported by the health officers cases, it is learned after investiga- tion, could have spread the germs which caused one of the largest cpl demics of any disease in the State.
 Dr. Townsend, upon his return from TOrrington, where he was last Sunday, visited Commissioner Potter, whose of flee at the Capitol is directly beside the office of the State Board of Health. Dr. Townsend told Commissioner Pot ter the condition Torrington is in, and made complaint against one of the dairies. Dr. Townsend told a report CT Tuesday that he did not think the dairies had any part in the epidemic, and his complaint against the partic- ular dairy was for a different reason. Commissioner Potter thought it wise to be sure and went to Torrington 
 missioner Potter said yesterday after noon that his reason for going to Tor rington was aside from the epidemic. Before leaving Wednesday, COmmis- sioner Potter inspected the Torring- ton Creamery, got evidence against the company, and filed with the pros ecuting attorney a certificate of com plaint, charging the company with selling short weight butter. He brought action against George Wei gold, who is manager of the Torring-
 'commissioner Potter did not wish to say anything about his investigation. He thinks the water supply has caused the spread of the epidemic, and not the milk supply. By an order of the board of health at Waterbury, all ton have heen prohibited from sale in the city of Waterbury But the com missioner finds nothing against the dairies beyond short-weight in one creamery. Torrington's watershed is not owned by the water company, Commissioner Potter says, and it holds many dairies which drain into the lakes
 My opinion is, the trouble came from the water supply. I don't wish to say anything about the dairies. No, I will not say they are not the cause, ' said MT. Potter
 His reason for assigning the cause to the water supply is. that the epi- demic is not sectional but general throughout Torrington. The commits Si0ner says every milk dealer diStrib- uting in the town has two or three cases of typhoid on his route. Sc if the milk supply was the source only one milk dealer, at least, or in all probability not all the dealers would have typhoid among their cus- toners. The commissioner is unde- cided whether to take further action as to tine dairies. He is waiting fol the report of the State Board o1 Health. They have performed their duties very thoroughly!

WATER SUPPLY CAUSE OF TYPHOID State Officials so Say of TOrring-
 ton Epidemic FILTH THE CAUSE;
 DAISIES IN WATERSHED Opinion of Dr. J. H. Townsend and Commissioner H.
 F. Potter

To ascertain the cause of the vide spread epidemic of typhoid fever at Torrington, which had developed over 16o cases, up to "wednesday noon, pr. Joseph H. Townsend of New Haven secretary of the state board of heaitn' and H. F. Potter of Montowese, state dairy and food commissioners, were called upon by a reporter for Ine Hartford Courant" yesterday. Wlthout being willing or able to say what was theN origin of the infection, both salo that after examining conditions Weo- nesday in Torrington they were satis- fled that the typhoid disease was not spread by any dairy or in milk; while evidence pointed strongly to the town water supply. The watershed TOT the Cakes from which Torrington obtains the greater part of it's drinking water is occupied by. large number or pig milk dairies and farms in both Tor. was examined this week very eare- fully by an able man in the employ of the state, Dr. James Newlands, chemist for the state board of health. He reported no unsanitary places Tn the watershed. Without knowing the origin of the epidemic. pr. Townsend said yesterday afternoon that the
 
 one would be enough to spTead this disease. It is believed by both Dr. Townsend and Commissioner Potter that the heavy rains a few weeks ago may have washed the infection into the water, so conveying through the pipes millions of bacteria. The present epi- demic is the most widespread and serious in the health history of Con- necticut for the five years. during which Dr. Townsend has been score tary of the state board of health. Two other great typhoid epidemics oc- cured several years ago at New Ha- ven and Stamford. At New Haven in 1901 the health board officers report ed to the state board between 400 and 500 cases. At Stamford in 1895 an epidemic ragged until between 150 and 200, people came down." The Tor rington cases are about 176, the su- perintendent of vital statistics not be- ing able to give exact figures. since the reports have not been tabulated. and different officers may report the are the result.
 Evidence is entirely circumstantial, and Dr. To~nsend thinks as much has been found as to the epidemic's ori- gin as the authorities will find. His investigations in Torrington are end ed for the present. Evidence which leads him to believe that the typhoid germs were washed into the water Is that the rains were heavy about two weeks ago, and it takes fourteen days for the person infected by the con- tagion to stbreak out.'' That the cause is the water supply is support

GRAF TING THE PECAN
ON HICKORY
Agricultural Commissioner kone Ad-
dresses Open Letter to the
Farmers of Texas.

Commissioner of Agriculture Ed R.
Kone addresses the following open let
ter to the horticultural public;
The question of the success and
fruitfulness of the pecan, when grated
on hickory, is of such Importance to
the state that this department has
authorized and commissioned MIR. Har-
vey C. Stiles. trained horticu,turist,
to make a careful study of the existent
facts in this matter throughout the
state, wherever he can learn of data
bearing on the question. The findings
of this investigation will be published
as bulletin of this department, and
will, it is hoped, be of great value and
benefit to those many persons who
are now experimenting with the pecan
grating on hickory-or debating as
to its practcability. There are many
trees so grated within the past few
years, and their growth and union are
evidently good. But none of them,
known to this department, are yet old

ATTEND HOOD BRIGADE REUNION

Capt. John w. Gee and Mr.. John
Stacy left today for Cameron to at
tend the annual reunion of Hoods
brigade Both these gentlemen were
members of the famous brigade and
took part in all the great battles from
the first Manassas to Appomattox.
The ranks of Hoods brigade are
fast thinning out, and but handful
of the brave and daring young men
who went forth to battle for home and
country in the early sixties, now old
and feeble, are left. Soon the last re
union win have been held, the last
roll call answered, and the grim old
fighters will be with their illustrlous
commanders and comrades in the

Data is also requested on these two
very valuable economic trees, wher-
ever they are growing now in Texas,

ering varieties of almonds, as the

more years, success may be expected
by now. in many adapted sections.
And that, if Mission and some other
varieties of olives have been planted
these also should be giving results
after about The same number OF years.

department is so small that any as
sistance rendered personally or by let

spirit It is given, for the public good.

dence so far is that they are disposed
not to produce properly. But most of
the instances of such graftings, so far,
old enough to produce, are trees in
Louisiana, Georgia and Florida, and
not in Texas.

that somewhere in Texas are pecans

conclusions can be n-conclusion 5

He reasons that. as there have been

Texas for at least half century, ii Is
very probable that someone. knowing
the close relationship of the hickory,
would have grated pecan thereon.
Probably there are very many in

Therefore, it is especially requested
