Chicago, Oct 12.--Governor Deneen
of Illinois was accused by Roosevelt to-
day of deliberate and wilful perver-
sion of the truth" Roosevelt charged
him as "a friend and ally of Lorimer." "
Within two hours after Rooseyelt's ar
rival today he decided not to attend
the Columbus day celebration at Grant
par where he was scheduled to speak.
Tho action was prompted by controv-
ersy among local leaders. Objection
was made to the appearance of any
presidential candidate at the fete
Members of the knights of Columbus
were the most active objectors and
sent notices to the newspapers that
they desired to keep out of politics.
A copy of Deneen's recent Spring
field speech was given to Roosevelt
upon his arrival and the colonel inn
mediately began statement which
said:
"I have not hitherto assailed Deneen.
Deneen has now sen fit to assail me
by a deliberate and Wilful perversion
of the truth. Deneen says l asked
him to limit his resolution concerning
contests to thirty-four Of them.
This is O. falsehood. / had no deal :
ings with Deneen during the Chicago
convention. I became convinced OF
his shuffIing and double dealing.
grew to mistrust his sincerity to the
peoples cause.
"All conversations about contesting
delegates were held literally with
scores of leaders.

AMERICAN CANAL
NOT The PANAMA
RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY FARGO
COMMERCIAL CLUB SENT YES.
TERDAY AFTERNOON, TO PRES.
IDENT TAFT BY SECRETARY
STINE.

Some time ago resolutions were
passed by the Fargo Commercial club
in reference to changing the name OF
the Panama canal to the more pa
triotic name of the American canal
and these have been engrossed and
forwarded to President Taft. They
are as follows:
Whereas, The land where the Pan
anna canal lies is now owned by the
United States, and
Whereas, The canal is called the
Panama canal by custom only, and
Whereas, The name American canal
Is more appropriate since the canal
separates and at the same time links
the two Americas, and
Whereas, At the present time for
eign countries refer to the canal as
the American canal, because it is the
only canal of its kind in the western
hemisphere, and because it is distinct
ly American; therefore be it
Resolved. That we suggest the name
Panama canal be changed to American
canal, and that the president of the
United States be respectfully request
ed to make the change.
Respectful submitted,
Fargo Commercial Club
Feeling that you will readily see our
point Of view and hoping that you will
take early action thereon, we beg to
remain, Yours for continued progress
and prosperity,
Fargo Commercial Club.

DEDICATION Of
GLAD IIDINGS
THE FORMAL OPENING OF THE
NEW FRONT STREET CHURCH
WILL TAKE PLACE NOV. 10. BUT
FOR TEN DAYS BEFORE THERE
WILL BE OTHER MEETINGS.

The dedication Of the new Glad
Tidlngs mission on Front street cast
will take place Nov. 10 and the eXer-
cises will be interesting.
For ten days, beginning Nov. !, prior
to the dedicatory exercises there Will
be a series of meetings held in the
mission, and these will be fed by Rev.
F. III. Ashcroft Of Graceville, Ill, and
he will have charge of the exercises
on dedication day.
In the neighborhood of a dozen men
are employed at the present time in
putting down the cement floor in the
basement and all of the work will be
finished by the first Of the coming
month.
The basement will contain the heat
ing apparatus, and in addition, there
will be the office of Rev. McCracken.
In the FEAR of the basement Will be
the toilet and bathroom, and the rest
of the available space will be devoted
to the charity work Of the mission.
On the first or ground floor to the
rear of the auditorium there will be an
inquiry room, as well as a small Sun
day school room. The main audi
toriufn will be we'll equipped and will
have a seating capacity Of about 300.
The building has been so constructed
by Contractor Bowers that an addi-
tional story can be added at any time
with a small cost and Rev. McCracken
is of the opinion that 1t will be found
to be necessary to do this within a
year or two, as the scope of the mis-
sion work is growing all the time.
1t is hoped that on the day of the
dedication as many of the people OF
the CITY as can will turn out.

AT noon today the Commercial bank
of the city Of Fargo ceased to exist,
the business, goodwill, etc. having
been acquired by purchase by the
Merchants National bank. The Mer-
chants National has been known as
t.re of the most conservative and care
ful banks in tho entire state, and it's
grow ing business is well known. 1t
has always had and tries to maintain
Il close relation between the customer
and the officials, and this will be MAIN
tained in the future, and it's popularity Y
has been and will continue TO he great,
and the former customers of the COM
mercia.l bank will find that they will
be just as pleasantly and promptly
taken care OF as formerly.
The growth of the Merchants Ma
tional bank has been phenomenal. There
was a total of DEPOSITS amounting to
the sum of $450,000 six years ago,
when the last bank consolidation in
Fargo took place and prior to the
present consolidation or purchase the
Merchants National had deposits
amounting to over 100000. This added
to the deposits from the Commercial
hank will bring the Merchants bank
up to over a million and a quarter of
dollars.
The purchase of the Commercial
bank by the Merchants hank is of
benefit to the financial interests of the
city, because it gives fewer banks in
which TO do business and viii be the
means of Strengthening each OF the
remaining banks TO a considerable eX-
tent
There will be no change in the di-
reetorate of the Merchants National
and with the exception of Mr.. Lowell
there wiz be no changes in the officers
of the bank, 4

Are Csming His Way

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. 12.--As Wilson

an eleven day trip that took him
through eleven states in the west, he
expressed keen satisfaction over the
reception given him.
mThe big meetings." he said, "have
been exceedingly gratifying. 1t seems
to me the people are intensely inter-
ested in the issues in the campaign.
Il have been particularly impressed
by the attitude of the crowds toward
me and by the way in which the great
number of individuals whom have
met have greeted me. Running through
1t all, have felt a decided friendli-
ness towards me. In no instance have
felt there was any hostility In the
audiences which have addressed
When correspondents asked the gov
ernor how he felt about the chances
of his election, he replied: Il have
tried In this campaign not to permit
my mind to arrive at a conclusion on
that subject. I know that the demo-
cratic party offers to the people the
only opportunity by which they can
regain control of their own govern
ment. ] have not the slightest doubt
that they will seize it,
The governor will make two speeches
tonight In New York, one at ban
quet of the knights of Columbus and
the other before the United Italian

dents of Fargo and North Dakota. The
call has already been issued by the
Greek consul at Butte, Mont Last
evening over forty of the former res
idents of Greece left for New York.
They will embark for their native land
to at once join the forces that are be-
ing modified by the members of the
Pan Hellenic union for the purpose Of
attacking Turkey in conjunction with

on the north and east boundary Of
Turkey. ... ...
This war will cause the employment
Of approximately 100000 troops and
the Pan Hellenic union has very ad-
equate navy to assist the land forces.
The war has taken on local inter
est through the receipt here last night
of the telegram given above.
Mr.. Harris is the leader of the
Greeks in North Dakota and in tn 1t
capacity he received the dispatch. tie

the state of the call to arms. The re-
sponse was almost instantaneous and
in a few hours forty able bodied men
were ready and were sent east on the
night train Mr.. Harris Is offering his
property interests in this state for
sale and he will go as soon as the vol
! unteers are called for

from the other states of the northwest
proportionate numbers will leave for
I the eastern seaboard to embark in
steamers which have been chartered
for the purpose of transporting them

Pan Hellenic union. About 10000 men
will go from the northwestern coun-
try, while an equal number will be sum
moned from Utah, Colorado and New

the railroads and mines of the west as
it will take a large portion of the

out of the country. The call is be-
ing received with joy by the men who
welcome the chance to avenge the
atrocities practiced by Turkey in the

PETTICoAT MAKERS FAIL
TIGHT SKIRTS THE CAUSE

New York, Oct. 12.-The close
fitting gowns now worn by women
are responsible for no inconsider-
able financial embarrassment
among manufacturers of petit
coats. for which time-honored
garment OF milady's wardrobe
there practically is no demand
these days.
The latest concern to get into
difficulties because of the fact that
their product now is glut on the
market is the Jackson Mack Man
ufacturing Co, of this city, which
went into banruptcy today. The
company was one Of the largest
makers of silk petticoats in New
York. They attribute their failure
directly to the fact that dame
fashion has decreed that tight
gowns shall be worn
The liabilities Of the company
are estimated at 100000 and the
assets at 100000.
