tension of Time in Which
to Make Plea.

Owing to the volume of the record in
the contempt proceedings against Samuel
Gompers. John Mitchell and Frank Nor
rison, labor leaders, Chief Justice Cla-
baugh today granted an extension Of time
in which to present to the Court Of APP
peals the record on appeal from the con-
tempt decision of Justice Wright The
sentence which the labor leaders seek to
have the Appellate Court set aside re-
quires the incarceration of Mr.. Gompers
for twelve months in the District jail.
Mr.. Mitchell for nine months and Mr..
Morrison for six months.
The bill of exceptions taken by the
labor men to the rulings Of Justice Wright
during the hearing of the case, 1t is un-
derstood, comprises 600 pages Of type
writing. The bill was recently revised by
Attorney ]. ]. Darlington for the commit
tee in charge of the contempt proceed
ings and is now being finally reviewed
by Attorney Jackson H. Ralston Of coun-
sci for the labor men. The corrected bill
will be presented to Justice Wright for
signature next month.
The extension of time granted today
does not expire until November 1, and the
case therefore will not be docketed prob
ably in the appellate court until shortly
before the presidential election. In the
ordinary course hearing would not likely
take place in the appellate tribunal until
January.

DIX LOOKS FOR DENOMINATION
New York's Governor Says He Has
No Intention to Withdraw.

ALBANY, N. Y, September ia for
NAL statement from Gov. Dix, declaring
that he has not been asked to withdraw
as a candidate for denomination and has
no such intention. is the latest develop
ment in the New York political situation.
The governor In his statement says:
1.-THE precedent in the democratic party
has been to renominate officials as an in
dorsement of the administration of their
offices. The state administration for the
past two years has been along lines of
true democracy, which means govern
ment for the plain people. When de-
mocracy departs from the established
principle of government for the great ma
,jority by granting franchise Of privilege
to the few it destroys that basic principle.
The present administration Of the state of
New York has made a great record for
wholesome legislation and with such
record it is reasonable to suppose that
those who have been responsible may con-
fdently expect the support Of the voting
people of the state.
For these reasons I feel that I am en-
titled to denomination and q re-elec-
ton

Have Hopes of Missouri.

Have Hopes Of Missouri.
Although the republicans are very con-
fident about Missouri. the democrats do
not anticipate any trouble in that state.
They are assured by Speaker Clark, Sen
ators Stone and Reed and National Com
mftteeman Goltra that the division OF
the republican vote in itself makes Mis-
souri, assuredly a democratic state in this
contest They even go to the extent OF
predicting that the majority will be the
largest that has been rolled up for the
democratic party in Missouri for many
years.
There is no question that although st.
Louis is strong for Taft Roosevelt will
receive q large vote in Missouri. and this
may promise big plurality for Gov. viii
son. The democratic campaign commit
tee started off with the idea that Mis-
souri, would be hard proposition.
Letters were written to Clark leaders
over all the state and reports are that all
are in line and working for the ticket.
st. Louis, which has long been known
as having one of the strongest republican
machines in the country. has lost twelve
election judges within the past fortnight
These men have notified democratic head
quarters that they intend to support the
democratic ticket this year. Another
straw indicating the turn of the tide In
Missouri is information received at head
quarters that B. B. CahoOn, FORMER
republican candidate for governor, IL
now supporting Gov. Wilson.
Roosevelt is not expected to make any
Roadway in the city Of St. Louis. The
democrats concede that vote to President
Taft, but once outside the city limits and
approaching the rural communities, the
tale is expected to be different.
Prospects in Kansas and Iowa
From both Henderson Martin, state
chairman, and Mr.. Hodges, candidate Tor
governor, in Kansas, the democrats hear
that the prospects are promising for Will
son to carry that state.
It may be surprising to hear the state
ment that the democrats expect to nave
q "look-in' in the state of Iowa.
The republicans are counting upon Iowa
as being safely in the Taft column. They
figure that Taft will get 60 per cent OF
the republican vote and Roosevelt ~ per
cent.
