TURK0-lTALIAN WAR.

The advance guard of the Italian
army of occupation landed at Tobruck,
on the northeastern coast of Tripoli,
600 miles east Of the city of Tripoli
and seventy-five miles west of the
Egyptian frontier. Tobruck is n of
the gateways to the richest and best
part of the Turkish province and that
section Of Tripoli which Italians are
said to particularly covet. Thus is be-
gun the occupation proper, upon the
accomplishment Of which depends
Jtaly's willingness to entertain peace
proposals.
The outlook for a successful inter-
vention to bring an end to the Turco-
Italian war is becoming less favorable,
according to a semi-ofticial statement
issued at Berlin. Italy has yielded to
public opinion at home and is no
longer willing to concede a Turkish
s~uzerainty for Tripoli, while on the
other hand Turkey is not willing to
surrender Tripoli Internationally be-
cause of the internal dangers that
would be involved by such yielding on
the part of the government.
The first transports bearing a por-
ton of the Italian expeditionary
forces have arrived at Tripoli. They
we're escorted by warships and ac-
companied by the hospital ship Re-
gina d'Italia. The troops were disem-
barked Immediately.
At a cabinet council at Constantine
pie it was decided to close all Italian
Industrial, financial and scholastic es-
Establishments in Turkey and to seize
Italian steamers.
Nineteen Italian transports have ar
rived at Tripoli and the second part
of the Italian army expeditionary
corps has disembarked.

Sane Railway Legislation.

Views expounded by President How.
ard Elliott of the Northern Pacific
and James j. Hill of the Great North
ern, in addresses which they made at
Bismarck recently, were heartily ap.
proved by the Commercial club at
Stanton. Mercer county. Resolutions
passed by that club are favorable to
more sane railway legislation, IN the
theory that such a course will bring
about more construction work in the
state and not hamper the railroads in
contemplated extensions.
Not only does the Stanton club ap-
prove of the sentiments expressed by
the railroad men, but it goes on record
as being willing to work with that end
in view.

Awaited byLaF Toilette.
WILL START ABOUT NOV. 10
Senator to Invade the East and Mid
die West as the Next Step Against
President Taft-Politicians Say Few
Men Of Prominence Attended the
Chicago Conference.

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-La Follette's inva-
sion Of the East and Middle West is
the next step in the progressive cam
paign against President Taft. His
itinerary was delayed, awaiting the
Chicago endorsement, but the coast is
now clear for a triumphal march
through the strongholds of progress
siveism, with occasional detours into
pronounced standpat districts.
Senator La Toilette probably will
leave Washington for the West about
Nov. 10, arriving in st. Paul toward
the middle of the month. Two meet
ings in the Twin Cities are being ar
ranged. The one in st. Paul will be
presided ever by Senator Clapp and
the Minneapolis meeting will feature
w. l. Nolan, secretary of the Mime
sofa Progressive Republican league.
Politicians in Chicago from all parts
Of the country are specializing o
calmly upon the endorsement of the
progressive conference. The local po-
litical writer's did not attach much sig
nificance to the gathering. Not a Chi
cago daily commented %editorially upon
the movement, although the progress
sives opened headquarters at the La
Sale hotel as early as last Friday
evening. The political ~forecasters of
Chicago have placed special emphasis
upon the fact that those who attended
the conference, with the exception of
Garfield, Senators Clapp and Crawford
and Congressman Lenroot and Nelson
of Wisconsin, were not known beyond
the confines of their own states.
Progressives on the other hand in.
sist that this is an element of strength
as it indicates that their support is
not coming primarily from politicians
but from the rank and file of the vct-
ers. While the gathering was manipu-
lated by politicians, the MANIPULATION
was easy because generally speaking
those who attended the conference
were not politicians. For the nest
part they were professional and bust.
