TAFT PLANS FOR
PARTY'S FUTURE
Proposes Formation of National Re.
publican Club to Hold Organi-
zation Together.

Western Newsnaper Union News Services.
Washington, ID. C.-Defeated, but
far from discouraged, President Taft
already has formed plans for holding
together and Strengthening the Repub-
lican party. The plans are indefinite
and still vague, but he declared to
friends that the party will continue
to exist; that ii will be as active as
in the past, and that there is no reason
to believe that its chances of future
success were not excellent.
So far as the presidents plan is con.
cerned, he hopes to see organized "a
National Republican Club entirely
apart from the Republican National
Committee, which shall cherish the
principles of the party and be source
of political activity, not only during
election years, but at all times. The
president spoke of the Republican
Club of New York, the Hamilton Club
of Chicago and other organizations
similar in character and expressed a
belief that through these clubs, in.
terest and loyalty could be kept alive.
To suggestion that he might be
the Republican party's nominee in
1916, the president replied with a
smile, but made no comment. He
laughed and repeated his intention Of
reurning to Cincinnati and the prac
tice of law.

TAFT THIRD IN

Unofficial! Returns Give R00Se-

This State
WILSON LEAD OVER 10000
Democratic Candidate Carried Every
County, Including Republican
Strongholds.

Little Rock.-Unofficia returns from
the national election show that Will
sons plurality in Arkansas will be
considerably greater than that of
Bryan over Taft four years ago, al
though the total vote polled by the
Democratic ticket will probably fall
considerably below that of four years
ago. Democratic leaders ascribe the
falling of in their vote to the apathy
due to the lack of any close contests
In the state.
Wilson's plurality will be greater
than Bryan's owing to the splitting
of the Republican vote between Roose-
welt and Taft. The Republican and
Progressive candidates ran very close
in the state and it will not be known
which has the largest vote until the
official returns are all in and the
vote tabulated. This probably will
be some time as some of the counties
are always slow in sending in the
reurns to the secretary of states Of.
flee. II is believed, however, that
Roosevelt's vote will exceed that re-
ceived by Taft. One estimate places
Wilson's vote in the state at about
$4,000, Roosevelt's at $4,000 and Taft's
at $4,000. The Socialists made
some gains and it is estimated that
Debs polled about 1000 votes, while
Chafin, prohibition candidate, prob
ably polled about 5000.
These figures would give Wilson a
plurality of $4,000 over Roosevelt and
majority of approximately 1900
over all the other presidential. candi-
dates.
The returns indicate that Wilson
carried every one of the IS counties
in the state. including Searcy and
Newton counties which have been Re.
publican strongholds. The division oi
the vote in these counties between
Taft and Roosevelt aided in throwing
them to Wilson.
Roosevelt led Taft in all the larger
counties, including Pulaski, Garland,
Philips, Sebastian and Washington,
but the extent of the Progressive vote
in the smaller counties, particularly
in the country districts, will not be
known until the official returns are
file' in the secretary of states office.

FIGHT To GO ON
Plans to Be Made for Fight in State

Osyter Bay, N. Y.-"Of course the
fight will go on. In the end the cause
must triumph" Col. Theodore Roose-
welt declared in response to a ques-
tion as to what effect the election OF
Woodrow Wilson would have upon
the future of the Progressive party.
After the smoke of battle had clear
ed away and the election OF Wilson by
an overwhelming majority became a
certainty, Col. Roosevelt showed no
signs of being downcast by his de-
feat. He laughed and joked and ap-
peared in the best of spirits.
Close friends Of Colonel Roosevelt
said he was not surprised at Governor
Wilson's election, because he was at
no time confident, they assert, that
the new party would be able to win
its first fight. The showing which
the party made, his friends said, had
pleased rather than disappointed its
leader.
1t is Colonel Roosevelt's desire to
have vacation from politics, although
ne expects to keep constantly in touch
with the general aspect of the situa.

THREE INJURED MAY DIE
FREIGHT ENGINE CRASHES INTO
REAR OF EXCURSION TRAIN
AFTER MIDNIGHT.
FLAGMAN HAD LEFT POST
Louisiana Railroad Commission and
Interstate Commerce Court to Probe
Cause of Disaster.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New Orleans.-Fourteen lives were
shifted out and 80 passengers injured
when through freight crashed into
the rear of a north-bound excursion
train on the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley railroad near MONTE, La.
The appalling disaster is charged
by the railroad officials to negligence
of a flagman when the two trains
crashed together.
OF the dead, four are white women
one a white infant, four negro women
and five negro men.
Forty-one of the injured are white
and 49 negroes. 1t is expected that
all of these, except possibly three,
will recover.
The remarkable feature of the wreck
was that the loss of life was confin-
ed almost entirely to the last and
fourth from the last coaches of the
excursion train. The second from
the rear coach escaped injury almost
completely. The excursion train was
made up of ten coaches, with negroes
occupying all but the two rear coaches.
The rear coach was demolished, and
the third and fourth coaches were
teiescoped. All three, together with
the freight engine, were burned.
Pathetic stories of the CHASTITY hor-
ror were brought to New Orleans by
survivors, many of whom barely es-
capped death. The confusion and ex-
citement incident to the distressing
scenes of death and suffering was in
creased by the cries and exclamations
of the hundreds of negroes, who ran
about in a panic-stricken condition.
A few of the negroes were self-pos-
sessed and lent their earnest aid to
the heroic efforts of white passen-
gers te' save from the flames those
pinioned beneath the wreckage. but
most of them ran wildly about, SHREK
Ing, shouting and praying.
Mrs. Thomas McGinniss, wife of a
New Orleans plummer, was killed and
her husband and two small babies are
In local hospital.
OF the injured, 46 were brought to
New Orleans for medical treatment
and A were taken to Baton Rouge or
to their homes.
The Louisiana Railroad Commission
telegraphed to the Interstate Com
merce Commission to join in an in.
vestigation of the wreck.
