The selection of the national cam

politics in different sections of the
country upon the choice of the con

Republicans. Chicago, st. Louis, Buff

The National Progressive Republi.

quarters here an open letter asking
the committee to put in the call for
the national convention suggestion
to the Republicans of the different
states that the state committees call

fore the Republican national conven-
ton to obtain expressions in each OF
the states as to the nominee of the
convention.
1t is believed the chairman of the
Republican national committee for the
next campaign will be selected at the
December meeting. Much will depend
upon the wishes of the nominee of the
convention. and, while it is generally
conceded that President Taft will be
nominated, it often is regarded wise to
await the result of the convention be-
fore organizing for the campaign.
Since the entry of Chairman Hitch
cock of the last campaign into the
cabinet as postmaster general, the
craftsmanship has been filled by John
F. Hill of Maine. The two names now
most frequently mentioned here in con-
nection with craftsmanship for the
campaign are Secretary to the Presi-
dent Hilles and Collector of Customs
Loeb, who was secretary to President
Roosevelt. The impression is becom-
ing general here that Hill may be Sc
lected.

BERLIN II WINS !. fRAJl

UNINJuRED, BUT FAR FROM
HAUNTs OF MAN.
Has to Travel Long Before Hsina Ali,

Eseapade 10 Similar to Two
Others Which esfell Him.

Kansas City, Mo. - In winning
the James Gordon Bennett trophy by
travelling 408 miles in the interna
tional balloons race which started from
this city. Lieutenant Hans Gericke
pilot of the Berlin II, was lost to the
world for the third time.
After all the other entries In the
race had been located, telegram was
sent by the Aero club of Kansas City
to Fred c. Ainsworth, adjutant gen.
eral Of the United States army, ask.
ing that all life saving stations, sig.
nal corps and others in government
service in the Great Lakes region be
requested to look for. the German bal.
loon and give assistance to its occu.
pants when found.
Shortly after this telegram was sent
a message was received from Lieu.
tenant Gericke telling of his landing
at Ladysmith, Wis. Gericke and his
aide, F. O. bunker. who came from
Germany with the pilot, landed in
wilderness uninjured.
Lieutenant Gericke was also con.
sidered lost last year in the interna-
tional race which started from st.
Louis. In the German balloon Dussel-
dorf II, he was in the air AZ hours,
travelling 1,1O0 miles and landing in
the wilderness of Canada. from which
he and his aide emerged four days
later after a thrilling adventure and
narrow escapes from starvation.
Gericke's second escapade of this
kind occurred last summer when he
went up from Berlin in the German
elimination race and drifted out over
the North sea. He was sighted in
England, but was again lost from view
and finally landed in France.
The nearest rival of the German
balloon in this years race was the
Buckeye, piloted by Lieutenant Frank
Lahm of the United States army. 1t
landed near La Crosse, Wis, $40 miles
from Kansas City. Lahn and his aide,
j. c. Wade, Jr.. landed in a swamp,
suffering greatly from the cold. After
having passed over Chicago and drift
ed out over Lake Michigan, they met
a southwark current which changed
their course completely. They tried
to rise above this, but succeeded only
in finding a current which carried
them westward They were both ex-
hausted with their nine-hour vigil and
it was decided that they land.
Hunnewell, who went up as aide to
Arthur T. Atherholt. pilot of the Penn
sylvania. says that when they decided
to come down their valve failed to
work and they resorted to the rip
cord at height of 5000 feet. The
balloon fell like a rocket and hit
the ground with terrific force.
In winning this years race, Ger
many has taken the Bennett cup from
America. who would have held it per-
manently if this country's representa-
tives had been victorious. America
had won the championship for two
successive years and victory this
year would have ended this interna-
tional series with clean sweep for
American balloonists. The next race
will be held in Germany

Orpheum to Aid Charity Hospital.
For sweet charitys sake will be the
slogan for two nights at the Orpheum

nouncement made by Manager Lew
Rose OF that house last night. The
announcement was to the effect that
fifty per cent of the proceeds Of Tues
days and Thursday nights shows over
and above the expenses of the house
would be turned over to this most
worthy cause.
This is not the first time that the
Orpheum management has come to the
aid OF the Charity Hospital and there
is little doubt but that the two charity
performances will meet with the sue
cess that the cause merits.
The bill at the Orpheum changes
with the matinee tomorrow afternoon
and according to the advance matter
that has been turned over to Manager
Rose on the show for this week the
patrons of the house may expect a
first class Al show all this week.
One act that has received many flat
