SLIDING BACK IN NEVADA
Roosevelt Has Reached His Limit and
Is Rapidly Receding.

Reno, New, Sept. 26.-The decline
of the Roosevelt movement, notice
able throughout the country, is very
apparent in Nevada.
THE interest in the Bull Moose
movement is crystallized in Rcose-
velt," says the Evening Gazette, land
that interest is waning" The Gazette
further states that Roosevelts disap-
pointing speech in this state, the fact
that he is receiving funds from
George w. Perkins and is being sup
ported only by cast-off politicians, are
drag-stones about his neck. The Ga
zette sums up the situation in Nevada
as follows:
Roosevelt has reached the limit of
his power and is sliding back rapidly" 3"

KANSAS is REPUBLICAN
Roosevelt Strength Among Voters Is
Decreasing PerceptlbIy Through
out State.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 23.-Notwith-
standing the enthusiasm which has
always existed in Kansas for Theo-
dore Roosevelt, 1t is undeniable that
his strength as a presidential candi-
date is decidedly waning throughout
the state.
If he were the candidate Of the Re-
publican party, and if there were a
chance of his election, he would, of
course, sweep the state without any
serious opposition. But neither of
those conditions exists The fact that
his own leaders have been obliged to
yield to the wave of indignant pro-
test which swept against them on ac-
count of their effort to have Roose-
velts electors placed in the Repub-
lican column has not only proven the
strength of the Taft sentiment, but it
has eliminated all possibility of
Roosevelt carrying the state. The
withdrawal of his electors from the
Republican columns has emphasized
the fact that he is not the Republican
candidate; and Kansas is too we'll
satisfied with the conditions which
have prevailed during the past six
teen years to follow any man, how
ever popular he may be, out of the
Republican party.
The Roosevelt sentiment has been
further weakened by the universal
conviction that there is no possibility
of his election and that the only ef-
feet his candidacy can possibly have
Is to expose the country to the dan
ger of a Democratic victory. Kansas
is as far from being a Democratic
state as 1t ever was and with the sub
stantial collapse Of the Roosevelt cam
paign, this state will be found in it's
accustomed place near the head of
the Republican column.

DESERT ROOSEVELT
IN ILLINOIS THIRD TERM SENTI.
MENT IS STEADILY DE.
cREASlNG.
FARMERS RESENT CHANGE
Reports From All Sections Are to the
Effect That Republicans Have
Determined TO Remain Loyal to
Party.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Polls which are
being received at the headquarters OF
the Republican national committee in
dicate that the third term candidate
will not receive on election day any
thing like the support given him In
the primaries, when he was a Repub-
lican seeking the nomination of his
party for the office of president.
These figures are confirmed by state
ments published in newspapers in va
rious parts of the state, by letters re-
ceived at the headquarters and by Illi-
nois people who visit Chicago and
express their opinions on the political
situation.
Rev. Clark 8. Thomas of Elgin, who
has travelled through the state from
East st. Louis to Vincennes and from
Springfield to Centralia, was emphatic
In his assertion that the Roosevelt
sentiment in Illinois is disappearing.
When former Senator William e.
Mason, nominated at the primaries for
the position of Congressman-at-large
from Illinois, recently returned from
a speech-making tour he reported that
the Roosevelt sentiment was waning
in the localities which he had visited.
Roosevelt Losing Supporters.
"T have been all over the state of
Illinois, addressing Chautauquas,
homecoming rallies and farmers pic
mics, and everywhere I went I met the
admission that Mr.. Roosevelt Is los
ing supporters" said Mr.. A. C. Ran
kin of Chicago. Large numbers of
people believe he is organizing his
movement merely as an aid to elect
Wilson and defeat Taft, and they re-
fuse to be party to his treachery."
II have just returned from tour
through some of the counties of ILL
nois," writes Henry I. Nowlan,
prominent attorney in this city,
"and l find that the third term senti-
ment is on the wane."
Change Among Farmers.
Republican conditions have i'm
proved in my section of Illinois more
than 25 per cent since l was here
two weeks ago." says Mr.. w. w.
Clark of Aurora, ILL.,, formerly labor
editor of the Chicago Inter Ocean and
now editor of the Aurora Sentinel.
"The change is principally observed
the farmers. They appreciate
the prosperity which they have been
enjoying under Republican admins
tration and they are beginning to real
lie that change to Democracy means
an end to their good times. The trend
toward President Taft is plainly ap-
parent"
Pledged to Republican Ticket.
"I cannot speak for other parts of the
state" said Mr.. w. e. Wire of Hebron,
ILL.,. while in Chicago recently, "but I |
know that in my precinct Roosevelt |
will not poll one per cent Of the vote
which he received in the primaries
ast spring"
Mr. Wire was formerly chairman Of
he county committee Of McHenry
county, and is now a member of the
county committee.
While there are some sections in
he state where the Roosevelt senti-
nent continues to manifest ITSELF the
act that 1t is generally disappearing

London. The British army without
n brass band-such Is 1.-The doleiul
prophecy OF the Pail Mall Gazette. II
SAYS that definite proposal has been
brought forward that all the brass
bands OF the army except those OF
the guards regiments, shall be abol.
ished, and that the sole music provid-
ed for the future shall be that of the
drums and flies and bugles, with the
pipers for the Scottish regiments.
Some years ago fresh regulations
were made as TO the maintenance OF
resimental bands. The cost of them
fell entirely on the officers. The new
regulations threw some OF the expense
on the public purse. But even now II
is considered that In a modern. bust
ness army the officers should not be
liable TO this kind OF expenditure.
