WANTS CANAL MACHINERY.
b. #. Yoakum Would Have Govern
ment Move Machienry from
Panama

B. F. Yoakum. chairman of the
board of directors of the Frisco line,
has taken up the matter of moving
the Panama canal machinery from
that zone to the Mississippi river.
He is using every effort to induce
government to authorize the remov-
al Of machinery that is being con-
stantly abandoned as fast as the va
rious types complete their respective
pieces of work on the canal.
He declares this machinery can
never be sold and should, therefore,
be used along the Mississippi river
to dredge the bottom and strengthen
the bikes. He declares that with this
cast off equipment it would be pos
sible to prevent a repetition of the
disastrous floods that have occurred
during the last few weeks. --Hous

Rienzi M Johnston, editor of the

in Washington the other day and
gave to the Post of that city this in

many friends, but up to this time
the latter have not been organized
Three months ago Gov. Wilson
would undoubtedly have carried the
state, but sentiment has undergone
a great change. The idea is slowly
creeping into the heads of demo-
Gratis that Wilson can not be nomi-
mated, and, in my opinion, he has
not chance to capture the nominal
ton. Where is he going to get two
thirds of the votes? Tell me state

or perhaps, a majority Of the dele

against him. In my judgment, New I

enraged, he said, over her lost bets
made for her on the race track, and
attacked McComas with a cupful of
sulphuric acid. He shot once at the
ceiling to frighten her, and then when
that failed, he shot to disable her. In
stead he killed her instantly.

SHOWS WILSON'S
FAR IN THE LEAD
Especial 70 The ArKusD

Chicago. Ill. Nov. IA straw vote
taken by postcard has Just been COM
pleted by the Wilson National Pro
gressive Republican league to test the
proportion Of republican votes that or
ganization has been able to swing TO
Wilson. The result announced yester-
day out of 14,022 votes in nine states
gave Wilson 1855, Taft 3,707 and
Roosevelt 2.723.
The postcards were sent only to pro
gressive republicans, using the organ
ization lists of the La Toilette pre-con-
vention campaign. Thirty-five thous-
and postcards ballots were sent out in
nine states. None was sent TO the
progressive republican leaders, but
only 10 the rank and file selected hap
hazard from the lists.
This work was undertaken 10 days
ago. and up to last night, of the $4,000
cards 14,023 has been returned. Many
surprising things are shown by the
tabulatlon Of the vote.
In Illinois, where the third party
leaders assert that the entire progress
sive republican organization has gone
into the third party, Wilson received
nearly half of the progressive republi-
can postal card votes.
In Wisconsin he received more than
half, Roosevelt running a poor third
In Michigan, also, another state in
which the third party leaders claim to
have secured the whole progressive re,
publican strength, Wilson got more
than half.
In North Dakota he received more
than twothirds OF the total vote
The tabulation of the votes follows:
