ago. In so far as the assemblage
here is concerned it has bee nwell
known here that it is being forced a
good deal Republicans affect to be-
lieve the Colonel can do the Republi.
can party no further harm and that
from now on he must address him
self in attack to the Democratic par
ty if he is to get enough votes to
win. He can expect no more, 1t is be-
| lieved, from the party he has discard
ed; TO win he must attract a multi
tude from Gov. Wilson. Therefore a
good deal of the campaign, in so far
as it concerns Col Roosevelt, must be
between him and Gov. Wilson, and the
Republicans wonder how the Demo
Gratis will meet this assault on their
ranks. If Gov. Wilson out-Herod' S
Herod, he must become radical TO a
superlative degree, thoroughly fright
ening the conservative Democrats in
TO Mr.. Taft's fold, and should he just
follow Col Roosevelt ii Is entertained
he will lose large support in his own
party to Col. Roosevelt.
The regular Republicans view the
coming campaign even with some en-
enlargement. 1t is admitted by them
that Gov. Wilson has the better
chance of winning. but they see signs
that give them hope. For one. thing,
they start at the bottom. with the
blacklist clouds behind them and may
amount to very little. Nobody pre-
tends to measure it's depth. Repub-
licans believe it will draw equally
from both parties, and that does not
leave Mr.. Taft in very bad shape.
While Mr.. Taft will lose votes to VIII
son he will also gain votes from him.
1t is asserted the Catholic vote will
in no mean degree be for him, and
especially the Irish Catholic vote. This
will count heavily in Massachusetts,
and New York and in such a state as
Minnesota.
From now on it is believed Mr..
Taft will make votes rather than lose
them, and the more virulent the Col
onel and Gov. Wilson become the
more votes will Mr.. Taft accrue.
The likelihood is that even in Con
gress Mr.. Taft will get more and
more votes, for the progressives are
more and more enthusiastic for the
Colonel, and, while very lukewarm to
Mr.. Taft il is believed before the
campaign is over they may find it ex-
pedient to get het up some.
Shrewdest of Republicans concede
that on the present face of things Mr..
Wilson has only to gain so votes in
the electoral college to win exclusive
of New York, and they believe New
York very doubtful. and favoring Mr..
Taft, and they assert that unless in
lieu of New York Gov. Wilson does
not carry Illinois the chances of his
election are small.

IRIS CONVENTION
OPENED TODAY
At CHICAGO
Will Insist on His Ideas For
Platform
NOMINATIONS ON WEDNESDAY
Men of Ability and Standing Refuse
to Be Ordered Around Like
Lot Of Schooboys

Chicago, Aug. 5.-The national pro
gressive party was formally launched
this noon in the Coliseum at Chicago
where a little more than a month age
President William Howard Taft was
ronominated president for the presi
dency on the Republican ticket over
the protest of many of those now
leading the third party movement
The big convention hall, ready for the
new party, shows but few changes IN
the arrangements provided for the
Republican national convention. over
the main entrance door, however. has
been hung the head OF bull moose,
in token of the nickname attached to
the new party. Between 100 and
1900 delegates are expected to gather
in the Coliseum today.
On Wednesday when all the neces-
sary preliminaries have been dispos'
ed with they will ratify the -nemina-
ton of Col. Theodore Roosevelt for
president Col. Roosevelt was tenta-
lively placed in nomination at a gath
ering in Chicago on the last night OF
the Republican convention when his
followers assembled in Orchestra hall
and laid the foundation upon which
today's convention was builded. Who
will be the nominee for vice president
has not yet been determined. Few OF
the leaders in the city will discuss
the subject of a running mate for the
Colonel, declaring that it is matter
20 ha thraohnd in tho convention
and decided as the delegates deem
best for the interests of the party.
So far, only the temporary officers
of the convention have been given out.
1t was quite generally reported last
night, however, that Col. John M.
Parker of New Orleans, a Democrat.
would be the permanent chairman of
the convention. For time it appear
ed to be the plan to retire former
Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indi-
ana, the temporary chairman, as the
permanent presiding officer, but 1t
Vas said last night Mr.. Beverage
Had expressed desire that this be
not done. Many of the leaders OF
the new party movement, anxious to
avoid any semblance of alliance with
the old parties, are urging that the
Democrats who have joined in the
movement. particularly from the
South, should have especial recogni-
ton in the convention.
There has been much talk of NOM
mating a Southern Democrat for Sec
ond place on the ticket, but this plan
did not gain much Roadway yesterday.
Gov. Hiram w. Johnson of California
still is mentioned as the most likely
candidate for vice president, and
while he Is not acandidate for the Of
fee, il is said he will accept the
nomination If the delegates desire it.
Gov. Johnson is regarded as one of
the leaders anxious to attract as

EATS
UP OUR LEAD TO
REMNANT PIE
GonfaIon is Now Dangling in
Much Doubt
LOSS OF TWO GAMES
Pittsfield Won at Pittsfield Saturday
and Here on Sunday-Scores
Were 10 4 and q to 2.

BY losing two games to Pittsfield
Saturday and Sunday Bennington only
has bare margin of lead in the
Berkshire league and with several
more games to play with Pittsfield
the outcome is in doubt.
Bennington lost to Pittsfeld at that
city Saturday by a score of to and
Pittsfeld won here yesterday TO 2.
The closeness of the scores shows
how evenly the two teams are match
ed and the race for the rest of the
season should be exciting enough to
please the most exacting fans.
The Banners base ball reporter
was out of town yesterday and his
substitute failed to show up so that
the papers report of the games is
decidedly incomplete. The game
was one of the most exciting Of the
season and was in doubt to the end.
Connors was in the box for Pitts
field and Peloquin for Bennington.
Neither was hit very hard, seven hits
being made off Peloquin and six off
Connors. Bennington lost the game
by errors of Connors and Finnegan,
three of Pittsfeld's runs being made
after chances had been lost TO retire
the visitors.
Bennington had plenty of openings
to win but failed to connect at the
critical time. In the sixth inning with
man on second Finnegan and Pelo-
quin struck out. In this innin, however,
the Pittsfield boxman was somewhat
assisted by Umpire Murray, who was
not up to his usual standard and In
his vagaries Bennington was the
principal sufferer.
OF Bennngton's hits McCrehan got
two, Shea one. Carolan one and Pelo-
quin one. Bennington had four err
rors to Pittsfield's one.
Score by innings:
Bennington 0 0 0 0 %
Pittsfield 0 2 0 ! D o 0 O.

CHRIS KELSON HAD
NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATH
Went Into Drift at the SibIey
0chre Works
CAUGHT BY OCHRE FALL
Young Man Was Not Employed In
That Work and Not Familiar
With Its Dangers.

Chris Kelson, aged rs years, was
perhaps fatally injured Saturday af-
ternoon at the Sibley Ochre works
whena wall of ochre fell upon him
while at work under ground. Kelson
who was employed at the mill and
sometimes took charge of the trans
entered the mine about Las. He and
a fellow laborer, William Belrose, had
agreed to take each others places dur
ing the afternoon. 1t was not Kel-
sons regular work.
The work was being extended into
near main drift and Belrose was
under instruction to install new sill.
Kelson entered the mine alone and
without the knowledge of the fore
man The drift was new and uncer-
tain and the face of the drift had a
crack in it. Foreman John Cook, who
was absent at the time of the acct
dent had issued orders that the face
should be cleared off before cnostruct-
ing the sill.
1t is thought that Kelson had his
udCh luIueu dl the uIlll DIT the liluc
of the accident The wall of ochre at
the end of the mine was about a foot
from him where he was working
when it gave wa yand fell upon him.
AS he had gone into the mine but
for shor thine he was soon missed.
He managed to etxricate himself and
he was brought to the outer air by
fellow workmen, a distance of 100
feet He was taken to his home on
Grove street in an ambulance. 1t
was discovered that the pelvic bone
was badly fractured. He was taken
to the Samaritan Hospital in Troy on
the midnight train where he was OPP
Grated upon Sunday.
The physicians are very doubtful
about his recovery and are of the
opinion that if he lives he will never
be able to walk. His wife and pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. Hans Kelson
of Old Bennington accompanied him
to Troy. He has one child, boy,
five years old.
