Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. S.-The voters
of Ohio at the polls yesterday issued
a warning to the leaders of the two
big parties. In the home state Of
President Taft and Governor Har-
mon they gave notice that the next
Presidential candidate of at least ore
of the two major parties must be a
radical Progressive and no straddler
will be accepted. The election Of
ten Socialist mayors in as many Ohio
cities, the election of Independents
in half a dozen other places
throughout the state and the immense
gains of the Democrats, where they
had named Progressive candidates, is
taken today by party leaders through
out Ohio to be the handwriting on
the wall. And this handwriting says:
None but Progressive can be OH
next candidate"

Ohio was not due to unusual activity
on the part of the Socialists. The

at least 80 pounds since being taken
to Jail on the night of the tragedy
and his face IS sunken and car.

constant drinker and it is believed
that the fact that he was denied al
coholics while in jail is responsible
for his feeble physical condition. His
wife sat with him during his stay in
the court room. Alexander is either
slightly mentally unbalanced Or he
is a fine actor. He stared at one
spot pn the court room wall during
his several hours stay in the court
house, and at one time got UP from
his chair, walked across the room and
sat down in one of the chairs in the

HEAVY RAINS
 FALL IN TEXAS

Dallas, Tex, August 8.-The consensus of reports received by the News from more than p correspondents 1t widely points in Texas and Oklahoma is that the rain which began falling early Monday morning was the heaviest in three years. The precipitation in many sections continued to fall far into the day. The rain appears to have been general over the northern, central, eastern and western portions of the state and some portions of the northwestern section.
 Rivers and creeks in many sections are reported as running bank full. and minor streams have overfowed the bottom lands where damage to crops is feared. In a few instances bridges and culverts have been washed away.
 Cotton planters insist that, added to the rains of the past week, today's rain fall was more damaging than beneficial to the growing crop, especially that plant ed late. Cotton worms are thriving, it is declared. From one county comes reports Of new species of pest. a red worm. which is stripping the leaves from late planted cotton"
