Roosevelt Men.

1t is a striking fact that so few
LaFolleite voters We're disposed to
answer these questions, especially
since there are something like twice
as many IaF'ollette as Taft men in
the state. 1t is clear that they have
not exactly made up their minds
what they will do, 1t also is quite
likely that considerable number of
them are planning to solve the prob
lem by voting the democratic ticket
Agree on Proper Plan.
Another remarkable fact is that
those Roosevelt men who do not ac-
cept Tafts nomination approve the
plan adopted at Huron IS the proper
course to follow. Out of 104 voters
passing on Question No. /, 100
answer it in the Affirmative; out of
103 voters expressing themselves on
Tafts nomination, 90 reject it. The
other voter gave an answer to only
the first question. 1t is rather sur
prising that the Roosevelt followers
should unanimously believe proper
method is to make use of the repuhli-
can party name for the election OF
electors who would vote for Roose-
welt.
The canvass, while not bringing
Aout a great number of replies, is
representative enough to show be-
yond a doubt that nearly all the
Roosevelt men and part of the La
Toilette men approve the Huron con-
vention. while the Taft followers, al

ROOSEVELT ATTACKS TAFT MEN
IN APPEALING KANSAS CASE

Oyster Bay, N. "a bitter at
tack on the Taft leaders in Kansas
who have applied to the United
States supreme court for a writ of
error in the electors case in that
state was made by Col. Roosevelt to-
day. Roosevelt declared that Taft
men are conspiring in wicked effort
to twist the constitution to protect
privileges against the people" and
declared that the proceedings be
brought before Justice Pitney in New
York tomorrow could not be defend
ed. He read the following telegram
from William Allen white, his per-
sonal representative in Kansas:
The Taft men, headed by Dave
Mulvane. who was rear brakeman
on the steam roller at Chicago, are
taking the primary case before JUS
tice Pitney on the constitutional
question involved in the Fourteenth
amendment, which guarantees tC
every man his political rights"
Roosevelt then said:
/ The Kansas people feel that the
appeal cannot be successful and that
it is a fresh illustration of the wick
ed way in which an effort is being
made to twist the constitution so as
to cause it to protect privilege
against the people, instead of to pro
| tect the people against privilege"

SLAUGHTER.

New York City.-That every one

the firm belief of many interested in
New York's great scandal today. This
following the declaration that James

day, was murdered because he be-

MARKET VALUE OF OIL STOCK
SHOWS GREAT FORTUNE
MADE OIL KING BY
SUPREME COURT

New York City.-Wall street saw
the high water mark of $1,000 a
share made for old Standard Oil
stock today. When the dissolution
took place the market value of the
old stock was $675 a share, or total
market values for the entire capital
of $G75, 900, 900. John ID. Rockefel-
Ter owns about one-quarter of the
old stock, or 250,000 shares. There
fore the increased valuation has
meant $S1,250,000 more for him,
all as result of the supreme courts
decision "dissolving" his trust.

THIRD PARTY LAUNCHED
by MINNESOTA CONVENTI1

st. Paul, Minn.-The third party
in Minnesota was launched late yes
terday without a discordant note.
The convention in which every con-
gressiOnal district was represented,
practically steered clear of state poll
tics, confining itself to speech-mak-
ing lauding Col. Roosevelt, adopting
resolutions and choosing delegates
and alternates to the national con-
vention at Chicago and presidential
electors.
There was a landslide from the
Taft electoral ticket nominated last
May to the Roosevelt ticket named
yesterday, John Runquist, of Duluth.
representing the Ninth district, being
the only one remaining the others
having resigned.
At a recent meeting of the presi-
Dental electors nominated on the re-
publican ticket the electors nominal
ed at that time resigned, with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Runquist. A. Il. Put
nam, of Red Wing, elector at large,
George Thompson, representing the
Fourth district and H. B. Jones rep
resenting the Fifth declined to be-
come electors on the new ticket.
! The platform adopted indorses the
direct primary; the election of Unit
ed States senators by direct vote of
the people; repudiates President Taft
and the national republican conven-
ton; declares that the proceedings
at the national republican gathering
showed conclusively that the old
party is controlled by machine poll
ticians. 1t favors the forming of a
national progressive party and insists
upon the initiative, referendum and
|'recall in the platform and a thor
ough-going corrupt practice act. The
continuation of the tariff commission
is favored, as is the revision of the
tariff with downward tendency.
