INDORSE TAFT'S PLAN.
Executives Will Consider Question at
December Conference.

Beverly, Mass, Oct. 24.-President
Taft's plan for cooperative banks for
the American farmer has been in
dorsed by seven governors. Ten let
ters from state executives, discussing
the plan, have been received here,
Governor Baldwin of Connecticut is
the only governor to express disap-
prevail
Two letters were received from Sec
retaries to governors. The governors
who approved the presidents idea are
Eberhart of Minnesota, Vessey of
South Dakota, Pothier of Rhode Is
land, Foss of Massachusetts, Blease of
South Carolina, Goldsborough of Mary
land and Mann of Virginia.
The president, In his letter to the
governors, said the question of cooper
alive credit for farmers at interest
rates equal to those paid by capital,
was one for the states to take up, and
suggested that the governors in their
conference at Richmond, Va, early in
December, discuss the matter. All the
executives who replied favorably said
they would be glad to consider the
matter.

Tribute of Great State to Great Men.
When Congressman Hammond was
presented he looked out over the faces
and up at the brilliant sky and ex-
claimed: What magnificent spec

the crowd was swept by mis- eloquence

1t was Congressman Ha almond who
nominated Governor Johnaon for the
gubernatorial candidacy, twice in the
state, and who also presented his
name to the national Democratic con-
vention for the nomination FOR presi-
dency; SO it was especially fitting that
he should nominate him for high
place in the memory of the people of
the state and the nomination was
heartily and unanimously accepted.

ST. Paul.--In the presence of 10000
Minnesotans who had been ais friends
and admirers, the bronze presentment
of John Albert Johnson, thrice gov
ernor of Minnesota, raised before the
main entrance of the state capitol in
st. Paul was unveiled late Saturday
with simple ceremony. Gathered about
the monument to which 100000 per-
sons had contributed were the high
men of church and state and the late
governors lifelong friends in all walks
of life. His loyal widow, still attired
in somber black as in the days at
Rochester when Governor Johnson
was fighting his battle with death, was
an important though a modest figure
in the events or the day
Andrew O'Connor, the sculptor who
designed the monument and super
vised its erection, was not present
when his great work was unveiled
He was confined to his bed in the
Saint Paul hotel suffering from slight
attack of appendicitis.
Second Monument at ST. Peter.
The erection of this monument is
to be followed by that of another to
be raised in st. Peter, probably in
the cemetery where lies the body. The
monument commission in it's final
meeting after the unwilling exercises
voted to publish 1000 copies of it's
proceedings, to appropriate $500 for
bound volumes of newspaper clippings
on Governor Johnson now owned by
Carleton college and to turn the re-

there was a proof that the people OF
Minnesota appreciate noble services it

The men in the Capitol building
who were loyal to him have been loyal

to produce a replica in bronze for

Johnson monument.
A Woman's Tribute.
Unobserved except by a few per-
sons occurred touching incident of
the exercise Shortly before the exer-
cises began a middle-aged woman,
rather plainly dressed, made her way
through the throng about the statue
and proceeded to the granite pedestal,
placed at it's feet a handful of roses
and autumn leaves. John Mccormack,
who provided the pedestal, FASTENED
to the woman's side and as a recog-
milton of her delicate tribute, invited
her to a place on the stand among
the invited guests, at the same time
asking her name. The woman in a
manner and in a for
eign tongue, declined the honor and
hurriedly disappeared in the crowd.
As a preliminary to the exercises,
Governor o. A. Eberhart, with his en-
tire staff in full dress uniform and
the guests invited by the monument
commission, marched out from the
main entrance of the capitol to the
stand, prepared for the day.

kirk-kilesseh and Adrianople Scene

Do Little; Greeks Take
Lemnos.

London, Oct. 24.-An almost impen-
etrable veil conceils the most inter-
esting operations of the war-those
in thhe vicinity of Adrianople No
official count of any kind bearing on
these movements has yet been issued.
The Sofia newspapers report heavy
fighting around Adrianople and Kirk
Kilisseh to the east and three forts
in the vicinity of Adrianople cap
tured. According to one rumor 1000
Bulgarians were killed and 1000
wounded in desperate engagement
outside Kirk-Kilisseh.
Reports Not Verified.
1t is quite clear, however, that all
reports of the fall of -Kilisseh and
the cutting of communication with
Constantinople are quite unfounded.
Fighting of a more or less serious
character continues at all points along
the extensive frontiers and an i'm
portant battle is impending in the
Kumanova district between the Ser
VANS and Zekki Pasha, who, accord
ing to Constantinople report which
is probably exaggerated, has 100000
men and strong artillery.
BuIgarians Fall Beck.
A Constantinople dispatch gives a
report that the battle has begun prac-
tically all along the line from Adrian
ople to Kirk-Kilisseh, the Turkish
troops advancing and the Bulgarians
falling back with heavy losses.
The Montenegrins apparently are
making slow progress in the direction
of Scutari Podgoritza dispatches say
the bombardment of Tarabosch con-
tinues but although the fort has been
greatly damaged there is no sign of
yielding. ... ..
Greek Fleet Has the Advantage.
In naval matters the honors so far
are with the Greeks who have cap
tured Lemmos, thus obtaining a base
from which they can attack the Turk
ish squadron should it ever emerge
from the Dardanelles. Seemingly,
however, the Turks are not disposed
to leave the Black sea and risk an en-
counter with the Greek feet. ..

He was unable to do so, however, and
Doctors H. T. O'Brien and Herbert

piece of work in which was deeply
interested, and / did so want to get
close to those who knew your Gov
ernor, to hear just how the work APP
pealed-and here am laid up"
Mr. O'Connor was anxious to know
what had been said about the monu-
ment, and when told that the work
was the subject of enthusiastic COM
ment, he expressed satisfaction. 1t is
not expected he will be compelled to
undergo an operation He expressed
the hope last night that he would be
able to be about in few days. The

Bishop Lawler in pronouncing the in
vocation, ito an illustrious son Of our
state in the hope that it will perpetu-
ate his memory and serve to stimulate
us all to try and emulate the highest
and noblest type of citizenship which
he exemplified." He invoked the
blessings of God upon the state and
upon the officers who are doing the
work that Johnson did.
Miss Lynch was introduced by c. w.

as the band opened with the first bars

the covering fell from the statue.
