Roe, former law partner of Senator LaFollette, today filed the LaFoilette primary petition. This ensures that the Republicans of the State will have the chance to re- cord, at the Presidential primary preference election, whether they fa- vor the nomination of President Taft, Senator LaFOllette or Roosevelt by the Chicago convention
 "We have reason to feel proud of this petition.'' said Roe, because it was in circulation exactly five days, while those of our rivals were out five weeks We have more than 4,WO names, although the law demands only 1000, and we made no effort to can vass the State simply circulating our petition in four counties

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.

There was much talk or harmOuy
at the Jackson banquet held IN wash
inRton last night in connection with the
meeting of the democratic natlonai
committee but it was mostly talk. Inc
BANQUET came at the close Of a day
during which. Mr.. Bryan carried on
another of his losing fights against
Committeeman Guffey OF Pennsylvania
Col. Guffey called Congressman Palmer
OF Pennsylvania q liar, and the latter
retorted by declaring that only the
colonels gray hairs saved him from a
punched head. ,,at .~,- -....
Then at the banquet there were some
harmonious souls gathered. There
was Governor Woodrow Wilson, who
sat near Mr.. Bryan and wondered just
how he could explain that letter he
wrote to railroad president 70 1917
in which he said: would that we
could do something at once dlgnihed
and effective to knock Mr.. Bryan once
and for all into cooked hat: Then
there were Speaker Champ Clark ana an
Former Governor Folk OF Missouri,
who are fighting cats and dogs to peat

Randolph Hearst, who has returned to
the fold after fighting every man in
the banquet room, was also there
There was nothing to spoil the har-
monious evening for those kindred
souls, each concealing an axe to WELD

Bryan's presence, and Governor Har-

an authenticated case of typhoid fever.
The immunization of the army has
proceeded so rapidly, says the Journai
Of the American Medical association,
at the present time, somewhat over
10000 men have completed the neces-
sary three NEGOTIATIONS. Among this
entire number, and covering a period
of nearly three years, but twelve cases
of typhoid have developed ard no
death has occurred, One man at the
Guantanamo naval station died five
days. after the first incubation from a
case of walking typhoid. This is the
only fatal case of typhoid in the gov
eminent service in any one on whom
the incubation had been begun. Inc
record Of the maneuver division in
camp at San Antonio, Texas, during
the past summer, the Journal adds,
has been most instructive. An army
division having an average strength
of 1880 men, all, inoculated. occupied
the same camp for four months, from
March to July, and. in this command
but one case Of typhoid developed.
This was a mild case in hospital
corps man who had not completed the
NEGOTIATIONS necessary for protection:
There were forty-nine cases OF typhoid
with nineteen deaths in the city OF
San Antonio for the same four months.
During the same period that this camp
existed at San Antonio. between three
and four thousand men were in camp
at Galveston, Texas. and in this ccm-
mand no case of typhoid occurred,
while the city of Galveston furnished
1872 cases of the disease during the eX-
istence of the camp. The city and the
camp had the same water, milk and
food, supply, the only difference being
that the camp had been protected by
incubation.
About 5000 men were scattered
along the Mexican; border mostly IN
small camps, many of them in LEGAL
tiles where typhoid was present, yet
of this command only one man con-
tracted typhoid, which ended in recov'
cry. In a recent number of the Jour-
nal, Captain Phelan, of the medical
corps OF the army, contrasts the record
OF these camps with those of the cons
centration camps Of the Spanish-Am-
erican war, and says that it is incon-
ceiyablet that, with such conditions,
the practical abolition OF typhoid could
have been effected without the use

RRYAN'S ACTIVITY.

John Callan OLaughlln, IN q WASH
ington letter in the Chicago Tribune,
says there is q we'll defin belief that
Bryan hopes the lightning will strike
once more that an overwhelming De.
mand will arise that he run again for
president, and that the convention Will
respond to it. Commenting on the
activity of Bryan in opposing the
candidates. of some of the men men
toned, the O'Laughlin letter says:
Bryan has decided to oppose the
nomination of Gov. Woodrow Wilson
of New Jersey He will do SO, not be-
cause of the Joline letter, in which
Wilson expressed a wish that some
thing could be done to knock Bryan.
once and for all, into cooked hat"
The ostensible ground Of his opposi.
ton will be that, having condemned
the proposal that the teachers OF Ne
braska accept pensions from FUNDS
gathered by Andrew Carnegie's partlc1-
patton in the United States Steel COM
pany he cannot approve the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Wilson, who solicited a
pension from the same source.
Then Bryan is looking with equa-
nimity upon the concerted attack upon
the aspirations Of Gov. Judson Har,
mon of Ohio. This attack focused
upon a page OF Harmon's life which
doubtless he now wishes he had never
written. Thirty-eight years ago Har-
mon was secretary of a citizens union
movement in Cincinnati, and as such
fought and wrote a letter against the
election of william Allen, democratic
candidate for governor. Allen was
elected and made one Of the best gov
ernors Ohio ever had.
It would seem that this is exceed
ingly ancient history, and that the
political varagies of a young man OF ~
ought not return to plague the old man
Of 81. But Bryan and Harvey c. Gar
Der, democratic national committee
man from Ohio, says the letter, which
has been carefully preserved by Its
recipient, L. F. Whiteman of Xenia,
Ohio, condemns the democracy Of Har-
mon, when considered in conjunction
with the fact that he bolted the demo
cratic ticket in 1896. ,5
The text Of the letter is not avail
able, but it is known that 1t is vigor-
ous protest against the democratic
party of Ohio at that time, declares 1t
ought to be killed, and in other strong
phrases puts Harmon on record as
positively opposed to the democratic
party OF the state.
Mr.. OLaughlin gives the following
as Mr.. Bryan's lineup Of democratic
presidential candidates:
The candidates who now are on the
Bryan blacklist are:
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey.
Judson Harmon of Ohio.
Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama.
The candidate about whom Bryan
has criticised is:
Champ Clark OF Missouri.
The candidate about whom Bryan
Is silent is:
William Randolph Hearst of New
York;
Tho candidates whom Bryan views
with favor are:
Joseph W. Folk of Missouri.
Thomas r. Marshall OF Indiana.
Eugene w. Foss of Massachusetts.
William J. Gaynor of New York.
James A. O'Gorman of New York.
William Jennings Bryan.

Governor Woodrow Wilson is the
busy little explainer these days. He
not only has to explain what he meant
when he wrote letter favoring the
decapitation of Bryan, but he has to
square that application for Carnegie
