Chairman Finleys parting prediction
before he went home to Kenton to
vote. THE entire Democratic state
ticket will also be elected by unpre-
cedented pluralities." he added.
The interesting feature of the sit
uation was the bitter fight between
the Republicans and Progressives,
apparently for second place. Much
money was offered by supporters of
Colonel Roosevelt that he would de-
feat Taft in Ohio and it was quickly
taken by Taft followers.
Two years ago, the Socialists poll
ed $4,000 votes in Ohio. This year
they are claiming $4,000. The Pro
hibitionists, who polled less thar
5000 in 1910, are claiming at least
$4,000 now There were many bets
that Arthur J.. Garford, Progressive
nominee for governor, would pol
more votes than General R b. Brown
/ tile Republican nominee, but there
was no Brown money in sight. Th'
/ influence of the Anti-Saloon League
was thrown to Garford and this caus
I ed many Republicans to vote for Tai
and Garford.

nominee for Governor, we're as higi

Chicago. Aug. 9.--Miss Jane Ad- dams of Hull House, Chicago, today received the following telegram from Colonel Roosevelt.
 T wished to see you in person and thank you for seconding me. l do 1t now. instead. l prize your action not only because of what you are and stand fou but 1t symbolizes for the new movement In this great nation al convention of the new party, wom- ss have thereby been shown to have their place to fill precisely as men have, and on an absolute equality.
 Tt Is idle now to argue whether women can play their part in politics, because in this convention we saw the accomplished fact and moreover, the women who have actively participated in this work of launching the new party represent all that we are most proud to associate with American womanhood
 My earnest hope is to see the pro- gressive party movement in all it's state and local divisions recognize this fact precisely as it has been rec ognized at the national convention Our party stands for social and indus. trial justice and We have a right to expect that women and men will work within the party for the cause, with the same high sincerity of purpose and with like efficiency.
 T therefore earnestly hope that in the campaign now opened, we shall see women active members of the va rious state and county committees. Four women are to be put on the na- tional committee, and I trust that there will be a full representation of them on every state and county com mittee. While 1 am now addressing you, l desire that this shall be taken as the expression of my personal hope"

BARROW TRIAL is
 NEARING ITS CLOSE
EVIDENCE IS ALL IN AND FINAL ARGUMENTS WILL BE MADE
 EARLY IN THE WEEK.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 9.-The taking of evidence in the bribery trial of Clarence $. Darrow was con- cluded today, and by stipulation eh both sides final arguments will be be- gun Monday morning.
 The prosecution had intended mak- ing last effort to introduce the much discussed transcript of conversations between Darrow and John K. Harring- ton, which had been overheard by means of a telephonic device. A rul- ing by Judge Hutton, however, that the defendant could not be impeach- ed upon collateral matters, caused the district attorney to abandon the effort Except for the testimony to- day of Judge Walter Bordweii. who presided over the trial cf James E. McNamara, and before whom the Me Namara brothers pleaded guilty, to- days proceedings were without sensa- tional features.
 Judge Bordwell contradicted a DOT ton of the testimony of Lincoln Stet- fens, the writer, who was an impor- tant witness for the defense. He tes- tified that he had met Steffens on several occasions during the week preceding the continuation of the Mo Namara trial, but he denied that he ever had discussed the so-called peace negotiations with the author Steffens. he said. had attempted to talk about the settlement with him, but he had declined to enter into any discussion.
 After conference between at- torneys for both sides and Judge Hutton, it was decided to allow two and a half days for argument by pros ecution and defense. This agreement assures the case going to the jury not later than next Friday evening.

WOULD GRANT GOAL
 LANDS TO CITIES
SECRETARY FISHER HAS A NEW PLAN TO AID MUNlclPALI-
 TIES TO SECURE FUEL.

Washington, Aug, 9.-Secretary Fisher has plan to allot government coal lands to cities which in turn may operate them under certain regula- tions to supply municipal needs as well as those of citizens
 AS first step in the plan, Secre- tary Fisher has recommended that congress pass bill granting GAO acres of coal lands to the city of Grand Junction, Colo, and meanwhile the interior department has with drawn from entry the land the city desires.
 The plan offered would authorize the secretary of the interior to pat ent $40 acres of government coal land for each city and 16o acres for each town under conditions providing for prompt and continuous development.
 Secretary Fisher maintains that the aim of the federal conservation pol. icy with respect to government-owned coal lands is to insure for the public an abundant supply at prices which win yield fair return. He thinks this impossible when a fee simple patent is granted to private persons.
 The leasing system, Secretary Fish CT thinks. is the method for the prt yate exploitation of government own cd coal lands which can protect the public. By retaining the title in its own hands and properly conditionine the lease. it will be possible to pro itect the public from extortion
