mated, one by the candidates conven-
tlon, and one by petition, with per-
haps one exception in each set for
purposes of Identification one set for
Taft and one for Roosevelt, every Taft
vote and every Roosevelt vote thus
counting for the same electors, with
the understanding that whoever of
these two candidates polled the larger
vote at the election, should receive the
electoral vote. If Roosevelt received
the larger vote the electors would vote
for him; if Taft's vote was the larger,
the electors would vote for him, pro-
vided the Republicans carried the
state.
The Republicans of Kansas and
some other states have adopted the
first plan. prefer the second method
which seems to be fairer, because un-
der it the issue would be decided by
the larger majority of the electorate.
instead of the smaller jury of the pri-
mary @#4
Both Of these plans are in accord
with the principles of the rule of the
people and Colonel Roosevelt's action
in the case of Massachusetts delegates.
In this way the people would decide
and neither candidate should want the
electors unless the people so voted.
FREE TRADE DANGER.
Principles, not men, are at stake
in this contest. Colonel Roosevelt has
pointed out the dangers of the free
trade Democratic platform. The tariff
and the settlement of the trust prob
lem are the two vital issues of this
campaign.
These issues can be better settled
by those who call themselves Republi-
cans, or Progressive Republicans.
than by the Democrats; if the former
have the interests of the country at
heart, they will be willing to accept
any honorable, lawful working propo-
sitlon that will surely elect members
OF the Legislature and Congress and
give them the opportunity to legislate
for the best interests of the nation.
1T is moral and patriotic duty for
those who believe in certain principles
to adopt plan by which those prin-
ciples can be carried to success and be
enacted into law"

such as only the hospital could pro-
vide.
1t was the opinion of the members
that the city in making an annual ap-
preparation of one thousand dollars.
to the hospital, that some such ar
rangement could be made if it was
brought to the attention of the hospi-
tai directors, and the Overseer was
authorized to present the necessity of
such an arrangement at the next meet
ing of the hospital board.
F. S. Mckee, President of the Board
OF Health, addressed Council on the
need of policing the waters of East
Lake and the tributary streams, so
long as it was used as a partial source
of water supply.
Stating that the Board of Health
would do everything possible to pre-
vent any possible pollution, although
deploring the necessity for using wa
ter for public use, from the open lake.
Mr.. Mckee also criticized the fact that
East Lake water could be used for
drinking purposes, without the public
being notified.
FOLLOWING the remarks by Mr.. Nc
Zee, motion was made at once by
Mr.. Whipple, directing the department
of Public Safety to assign an officer
for police duty, as requested by the
Board of Health, with special direc-
tlons to the officer that anything dis
covered that would tend toward the
pollution of the water, be reported at
once to the Board of Health, that they
might take steps for it's abatement.
Mr.. Whitaker offered a subsequent
motion, which was carried, that the
clerk write the Commissioner of
Public Works, directing him to notify
the Board of Health, through it's Pres
ldent, when it was found necessary to
use the East Lake water. The facts
in regard to the water supply, as
brought out in the meeting of council
last evening, and with full justice to
everyone, are simply this:
The present demands of the water
consumption, coupled with the ex-
ceedlngly dry weather, have SO low
cred the water that the city would be
without fire protection or water sup
ply at all, if the water from Eas:
Lake was not used.
So nearly as can be estimated, it
is now providing about one-seventh of
the total water supply.
Every effort is being made to rush
toward completion the new filtration
plant, and have it ready before the
extra heavy demand of September.
The condition obtains and it is be-
yond control at the present time. The
city must have water and it cannot
secure a sufficient supply from the
wells. There is not an official or q
private citizen in the city, who is will
ing that one single gallon of East
Lake water be used, but the necessity
prevails and until the new filtration
plant is in operation. it is safe to
assume that a certain percentage of
pond water will be necessary.
Samples of the water are being sent
away each week for analysis, all pos
sible filtration methods are being
used under present conditions, ard
the place is being policed to preven:
possible pollution.
The public generally could help the
situation very materially by wasting
less of the water, but past experience

There is more than ordinary inter

guilty OF Implication in the dynamite

try. extending over a period Of time
since 1905. The interest lies in the
fact that several local men >@me near

later the room adjoining his was oc-

A bomb was placed during the night
under the frame building and directly
under the window Of the room oceu-

whoever placed the bomb-and dis.
charged it-became confused in rooms,
inasmuch as 1t was seemingly clear
that Intention was to wreck the build

Thirty rooms we're wrecked and
guests were more or less Jared; sew

to FIND the head and foot Of the bed
cayed in on him; plaster from walls
