FIGHT BETWEEN TAFT AND
ROOSEVELT IN KANSAS GIVEN
TO HIGH TRIBUNAL.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 31.-The
fight between the Taft and Roosevelt
forces over the presidential electors
from Kansas has been transferred Of
ficially from the courts Of that state to
the supreme court of the United States.
The record of the case in the Kansas
courts was filed in the Supreme court
here. 1t will be rushed to the printer so
that the court may dispose OF the case
Immediately upon converting Oct. IA.
The transfer Of the record of the liti-
cation was in response to the command
of Associate Justices Van Devanter
and Pitney, given Aug. 6 at New York
upon the request of the Taft attorneys.
The decision of the Kansas courts
was adverse to the Taft followers, and
the main hope of Taft managers to
procure the electoral vote Of Kansas
lies in the fight to get the supreme
court Of the United States to reverse
the state supreme court.
Taft Forces Cry Fraud.
AS shown by the completed record
just filed, the Taft forces claim that
ey have been fradulently deprived Of
rights guaranteed them by the four
tenth amendment to the United States
constitution. 1t Is charged that the So
called Roosevelt electors procured the
signatures of the Taft men to their Pc
tition as candidates for electors by
pretending LIldl lIlcy WS1C ACPubAASe1AS,
and as such would be bound by the
rules, regulations and customs of that
party and would support the party's
candidates for president and vice pres
ident.
AS matter of fact, it is added, these
candidates did not intend to be bound
by the rules and customs of the re-
publican party nor to support the
party's candidates for president and
vice president, unless Theodore Roose-
Welt was nominated by the republican
party for president.
Will Rob Many Of Votes.
The result Of this alleged fraud, 1t is
said, will be to deprive Taft men Of
their right to vote for the person Sc
lected by them for president, while
permitting other citizens to vote for
the person selected by them. all not
withstanding the requirement OF the
fourteenth amendment that state
shall give all the citizens equal rights
and equal protection Of the law.
The record further declares that the
supreme court of Kansas has held the
rights claimed are political instead OF
judicial questions, such as the courts
may decide In answer to this, 1t is set
up that if the Australian ballot law and
the primary election law of Kansas are
to be so interpreted, these laws are un-
constitutional

Two actions have been filed with

his nose was broken, also his shoulder
and that he suffered a fracture of the
skull and internal and permanent in
juries. The car was laden with corn
for the firm which employed the
plaintiff and which he was in the act
of unloading when the door fell upon
him June IA, 1912.
Thomas Sweeney is the other plain
tiff and his claim is that when at
work for the Phillips Coal Co. at Bear
Creek, unloading car, the defend
ants employees caused three cars to
be shunted on the siding, striking the
car in which he worked. He claims

INDIANA man
SEES TAFT AGAIN
JOSEPH q. HEALING DECLARES
ROOSEVELT BoLTERs ARE
RETURNING

Chicago, Sept. 3.-Joseph B. Keal
ing, who was active In the Taft head
quarters here during the republican
national convention, came to Chicago
yesterday to assist David w. Mulvane
in the organization of the republican
campaign in the western states. Mr.
tional election.
1--WE are going to make a vigorous
and aggressive fight" he asserted.
More than two months have
elapsed since the national convention
During that time third party has
been organized for the sole purpose
Of making an assault on President
Taft and to destroy the republican
party" he continued. Many men
have been misled by the unwarranted
attack made upon the president. His
dignified attitude, attention to his
public duties and ignoring the assaults
made upon him has caused many
voters who we're in doubt, as to who
they would vote for to think and won.
der what it is all about.
Cannot Destroy Party.
1T Is so apparent that many OF the
alleged leaders in the third party
movement are actuated either by a
desire to destroy the president, own
personal spite or from disappointed
desire to hold Office that large num-
bers Of worthy men who have been
deceived by these attacks are daily
returning to the party that has done
so much for our country.
1.-The party Of Lincoln, Grant, Gar
field, Harrison, Mckinley and Taft
was not made in day and cannot be
destroyed In a day. Too much good
has been accomplished and there is
vet too much to be done for 1t to be
destroyed.
IN Indiana, where l live, reports
from every part of the state are all
to the effect that within the last few
weeks former republicans who had
allied themselves with the third party
are deserving it and rapidly coming
back to Taft-that many who have
been doubtful are coming out openly
for the party. #&
Indiana For Taft.
"The poll Of number OF counties
in Indiana show this. and to such an
extent that the republican state COM
mittee of Indiana has confidence that
when the election comes that state
will be in the republican column.
"The republican party has always
looked forward-never backward. 1t
has always stood for the rights of men
and has advocated every measure
which has made for the progress OF
our country. It has been assaulted
before now, by enemies from within
as we'll as without, but, confident that
it was right, it has been victorious
each time. We firmly believe 1t will
be victorious now.
Let every republican stand shout
der to shoulder as he has done in the
old days and November will tell the
proper story"

LABOR ENJOYED
GRAND HOLIDAY
oskALoosA MECCA FOR WORK.
ERs' ORGANIZATIONS OF
THREE CITIES MONDAY.
CROWDS LEFT HERE
Nearly 1000 From ottumwa Partieh
pated In the Enjoyment Provided
at Mahaska's Capital
Lead Parade.

Ottumwans with Albians and Oska-
loosa residents enjoyed gala day In
the home of the latter people yester-
day when thousands Of the labor or
ganization followers celebrated the
great labor holiday by speech. music
and games in the city Of Oskaloosa
and the fair grounds Of Mahaska
county. The threatening weather had
some effect In making the crowds un-
easy early in the day and to some ex-
tent affected the program, but with
the exception of the auto races the
program was practically carried out
and was enjoyed by ALL The Ottum-
wa delegation was a large one and
contributed in numbers and enthus-
iasm to the success of the day.
The ifty-fourth regiment band was
a popular feature with the gala crowd
from it's first number in the fair
grounds and was forced to break into
the arranged program to satisfy the
popular demands Of the crowd. A
concert in the fair ground followed it's
first piece and although this was not
the original plan, the music lovers de-
manded 1t and won their point.
Ottumwans appreciated the courtesy
shown the local band and labor organ
izations in being given the first place
in the parade. The Fifty-fourth regi-
ment led the parade and the Ottumwa
laboring organizations followed their
band. A number of very pretty floats
graced the parade and this was said
by all to have been beautiful and
inspiring demonstration. Ottumwans
were met at the station by committees
and the officials of the Trades and La
Dor assembly we're taken In autos to
the city proper. In the evening the
Fifty-fourth regiment band again gave
concert to satisfy the crowds and
made a hit with the crowd by the
rendition of Clusters Last Charge,
in which Prof Worrell had the Oska-
loosa militia stationed at the different
sides of the square and sent the bug
lers among the soldiery lending a
very pretty effect to the piece.
Many ottumwans.
That Ottumwa was there in force ID
testified to by the numbers the three
trains carried from here to Oskaloosa
in the morning. The early morning
train took about 100 from here and
$50 travelled by the special train,
while some 300 took the 1880 train.
The balloon ascension carded for the
late afternoon did not take place for
the very good reason that balloon
took fire and was destroyed. In the
absence of Congressman N. E. Ken
dali, Hon. J. F. Lacey made an address
following the welcome by Mayor Rey-
nolds Of Oskaloosa. SAINT Kirkpatrick
of Ottumwa, was listened to by the
thousands when he took the stand at
the fair grounds during the afternoon
program. The concert by the Fifty
fourth regiment band closed the day
for the Ottumwans as the band con-
cert finished just short time before
the crowds left Oskaloosa for Ottum.
