ing choice for Champ Clark, the Mis-
sourian receiving a large majority of

two names on the ballot. With the
town of Exeter and four wards in the
city of Providence missing, the re-
turns gave:
Champ Clark 5016; Woodrow VIII

close. the returns indicated that Geo.

only active campaign in the state, the
only work done in the interests of Gov.

ments in the papers, yesterday. The
vote was consequently very light.

rection of the Democratic State Com

Senator Harris. who has been working
for cinder deflectors for two sessions,

The bill requires all railroads operating

DEFIANCE IN CAPITAL

CHICAGO. Aug. 13.-Eugene Chain,
in Chicago today to prepare for the
opening of his campaign as presiden-
tial candidate of the Prohibitionists,

Chains charges that white slave laws
are not enforced are untrue. Chain
said
Il refer Mr. Keefe to the July issue
OF The American Advance, which gives
a list of dsreputable houses which
swarm around official buildings OF
Washington. Every one of these houses
holds a Federal tax receipt for license
to sell liquors at retail and not one
holds a local license granting that per-
mission.
There are 81 Of these speak easies
and slave marts lying within the dis
trict between the white house and the
postoffice Eight Of them are within a
block of the white house
Il maintain that President Taft is
responsible for this defiance of the law.
