P. S.-Why don't some people who
have absorbed such wonderful knowl-

they, like Mayne Arnold, publish

would be more confidence in their
silly pretensions.

the vacancy in congress from the
Eleventh Iowa district caused by the
death of Congressman Hubbard. This
vacancy is for the remainder of the
term until March 4, 1913. The Iowa
primary law does not provide for the
filling of such vacancy.
The governor stated this morning
that by the time special election
could be held and the successful can
didate, get his certificate congress
would be about ready to adjourn. So
the election to fill the vacancy will
be held at the time of the general
election in November.
1t is probable that under this ar
rangement the man who is made the
republican nominee at the coming con-
gressional district convention will
stand for election for the unexpired
term and also for the new term be-
ginning March 4, 1913.
Three candidates are already an
nounced for the double nomination,
George C. Scott of Sioux City, State
Senator l.. e. Francis Of Spirit Lake
and Judge William Hutchinson OF that
judicial district. Friends of State
Senator ]. U. Sammis of LIE Mars are
urging him to shy his hat into the
ring.
The convention promises to bad
ly split affair and already there is
talk that a dark horse may capture
the nomination. ......

Southampton.

Southampton, Eng, April 26.-The
situation in connection with the White
Star liner Olympic was seriously com
plicated by a sudden demand ad-
vanced by the British Seafarers' union
that the White Star company dismiss
eighteen of the firemen belonging to
the union who remained on the Olym-
pic. Otherwise the seafarers' union
declares the firemen and the oilers
who left the ship will not return.
The demand was made by a deputa.
tion of strikers and other members of
the seafarers' union who went on
board the liner to test the new col

stalled on the liner since the disaster
to the Titanic.
The company absolutely has refused
to consider the mems demands an
declares it prefers to take the liner

His Nomination or Election to a
Third Term Would Be a Calamity
Springfield, Mass, April 26.-Presi
dent Taft made his answer here TO
the criticisms that Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt had made of him and his
administration.
In a speech which bristled with in
dignation, in which he named Colonel
Roosevelt over and over again, Mr.
Taft told a crowd that filled Spring
fields public square how he believed
Mr.. Roosevelt had not given him a
square deal' and how he had "mis.
stated" and distorted" the facts con
corning Mr.. Taft's conduct and action
in the White House.
He replied i'm some detail to many
of the charges that Colonel Roosevelt
has made against him since the pres.
ent campaign began. He took pains
to make plain Mr.. Roosevelt's knowl.
edge of and complete agreement with
many of the actions and policies of the
present administration which lately
he has condemned and denounced.
The president declared that after
the Columbus speech of Colonel Roose.
welt he found the country unrespon.
sive and he shifted his methods OF
campaign from a declaration of ''prin-
ciples" and proposals of reform to a
series of attacks upon the administra.
tion."
Calls Colonel Dangerous.
Mr.Roosevelt's doctrine of the re,
call of judges and the recall of de.
cisions, his willingness to disregard
the wise custom" that forbids third
term, whether consecutive or not, his
appeal to "class hatred and prejudice
and his absolute failure" to put forth
any concrete propositions for true re
form and true progress, Mr.. Taft said
all combined to make him believe thai
the American people should not
choose Mr.. Roosevelt to sit again in
the White House.
Mr.. Taft began his speech by declar
ing that he spoke plainly only because
he believed it time for him to do so
He brought in Colonel Roosevelt's
name only because events had forced
| him to use 1t.

cerned, the president said, he never
