MANCHESTER, N. Y, Aug. 26-

MANCHESTER. N. Y, Aug. 26.-- Twenty-six persons are dead and half a dozen more lie at deaths door, while C9 others crowd the hospitals froc Canadaigua to Rochester, accord ing to the latest figures, as the re- suit of the wreck on the Lehigh Val. ley train No. 1, east bound, behind two powerful locomotives on the trestle spanning Canadaigua outlet yesterday. A ninety pound rail on the 40e foot bridge, shattered into seventeen pieces, showing defects in manufacture, marked the weak spot, investigators say, explains the cause of the disaster.

The other twenty-two lie in the Shortsville morgue in rough pine boxes. Injured in following hos pitals: er-Hanneman Hospit- al IS; Homeopathic ', total 25. Cliff tOn-Springs Sanitarium 12.

DEMOCRATS IF
 COCH|SE FIRM
Adopt Plank at Douglas Last Night Fayoring Recall in Constitution When Ari-
 zona Is State
PIE COUNTER RUSH BALKED

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 26.-(Spe- ciaLl-The lariat of democracy swished and whirled through the air tonight as the democrats of Cochise county in mass meeting here entered upon the campaign to round up the county of Cochise and the state of Arizona into the democratic corral and to forestan attempts on the part of the republicans to cut the young calf out of the herd.
 A ringing platform was adopted, on which county candidates will stand in the coming election. The feature which the democrats go after Presi- dent Taft for nnllifving the wnrk nf the democrats in congress and thus by the use of his veto power defeat ing the will of the people of the United States. The presidents action in yetoing the wool and cotton sched- ule and other bills passed by the dem ocratic party, aided by progressive re- publicans, was severely censured and the prominence of this plank is taken to indicate that this will be one of the features of the fight in the new state of Arizona.
 The meeting also adopted a plank favoring the incorporation of the re- call of judges into the state constitu- ton by amendment as soon as Arizona has become a state in fact.
 Rush for the Pie
 A fight was precipitated when Doug las made a rush for the pie counter. Douglas wanted the meeting to sane ton a division of the offices of the county that would give that city one state senator, one representative, one member of the board of supervisors, the superior court judge, the county sheriff and the county recorder. The division was so obviously unreason- able that Major George H. Kelly of Douglas led the fight against it, stat ing that it could not be done for the reason that it could not, in fact, be done. It was finally decided to allow the voters themselves to determine where the officers should come from.
 A finance committee was named and Chairman Clay Hankins of the execu- tive committee called a meeting of his committee for next Saturday night.
 The Visitors
 Among the out-of-town politicians present were: William Robinson, Fred Sutter. l. W. Wallace, Alex Mur- " of Bisbee; Owen E. Murphy, Mike Hannon. Mr. Karger of Lowell; Jonn Rock. H. s. Ross, Charles R. Howe and W. c. Gilmore of Tombstone; J. A. Jenkins and W. Garrod of Co., chise. and Charles c. Fulgham of Will COT.
 At a meeting Of the Douglas Re publican club. held cOncurrently with the meeting of the democrats, John Doan was elected president; F. S. Badger. vice president: D. Bershimol, secretary. and W. W. Gray, treasurer. The only business of importance was the reorganization.

 Ii Occurs
BUT SHOPMEN ARE STRONG

SAN BERNARDLNO, Cal, Aug. 26. The four organizations which em- brace the men employed on the train service of the railroads of the United States will not join the strike of the shop workers if the troubles of the latter should result in 6 walkout. This statement is made by Hugh l.. Dickson of Peoria, H., general coun- sel of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemer, who arrived here today. Dickson. who formerly was district attorney of San Bernar- dino county, said he thought the re- duetion of forces in the shops put into effect today by the Southern Pa cific is not war measure designed to forestall a strike, but Is due to fall ing of of business.
 Although ! nave no omciaI know ledge about the threatened strike of the shopmen Of the Hartman sys- tem," Dickson continued, T knew of the mems demands. and am afraid a strike may grow out of it But our orangization and other brotherhoods of trainmen are not cncerned. as they have satisfactory contracts and will observe them"
 Dickson said that in the event of a strike the railroads would have a hard time as the shopmen of the liar. riman lines have an organization which embraces all branches of shop work, with all the resources of the American Federation of Labor behind

 WITH "PLAYING POLITICS"
Names Several But Lays En- phaSiS Upon La Toilette, and Regrets Democrats
 Helped Him


 HAMILTON, Mass, Aug. 26..-Pres- ident Taft began his presidential cam paign for 1912 with speeches that breathed defiance and condemned the efforts of the "insurgent" republicans and democrats combined to revise sev- eral schedules of the present tariff at the special session of congress just closed. The president singled out Senator La Toilette, of Wisconsin, Speaker Champ Clark, and Chairman Underwood. of the house ways and means committee, as leaders in the movement, and charged them with playing politics" Several times he referred by name to MT. La Toilette, but mentioned the other insurgents as merely La Follette's associates
 Condemns the Course.
 Taft indicated that he regarded the proposed revision as injurious and dangerous to business, but made 1t plain that if the tariff board reported in December in favor of downward revision of the cotton and wool sche- dules, he would recommend the re- duction. Standing on the broad ter race Of Congressman A. r. Gardners home, with Senator Lodge and other Massachusetts republican leaders, the president seemed to scent the smoke of the coming battle. Many of the 300 members of the Essev County Republican club, who gathered t0 lis- ten thought they had heard the key note speech of the coming campaign. and their cheers were loud and long.
 Lodge Speaks.
 Senator Lodge supplemented the presidents tariff remarks by a few words, while two of the three candi- dates for the republican nomination for governor of Massachusetts, Lieut.. Governor Frothingham and Speaker Walker, also spoke. Taft said
 The extra session of congress was called for the purpose of confrrnina the Canadian reciprocity treaty, which it did. Our democratic friends. how ever were not content to allow it to pass with the accomplishment of the purpose for which it was called. They assisted-most of them-in the passage cf the reciprocity bill. be- cause they believed in its usefulness, and did not play politics in it's pas sage.
 "For Politics Only"
 "I am sorry to say. however, that having pursued a purely statesman Ike course with reference to reel procity, they did play politics" of the most irresponsible character with respect to three tariff bills which, by uniting wib certain republicans in the senate, they were able to pass and present to the executive for sig. nature. The bills bear internal evil dence that they rested on the basis not of 'tarif for revenue only but of tariff for politics only."'
