 If Speaker Champ Clark has the most votes in the Nebraska primary expect to support him vigorously 70 the end. If Woodrow Wilson has the most votes will work for him 10 the end. The same applies to Governor Harmon That is the letter and spirit of the law.
 "Bryan's statements is In defiance of the law. He announces that un- der no circumstances will he support Harmon even if the Ohio governor receives the largest vote in the dem- oCrtic primary l regard this as an attempt by him to overthrow the primary law and reassert the old party boss doctrine.
 "Bryan's assertion that Wall street is supporting Gov Harmon is entire ly without proof or foundation so far as l know. Wall street has no req son to be for Harmon.
 As governor of Ohio he has shift ed S3,OOO,OOO in taxes which the peo- pie of the state formerly paid onto the shoulders of the railroads"

 Rex had two wife murders to his credit and + was to save the life of the third Mrs. Rex that the bear was removed from Rex's cage and placed in a separate one, adjoining that of Silver King. After that Rex never was himself.
 At once violent hatred sprang up between Silver King and Rex. They roared and quarrefled over the head of Mrs. Rex, who lurched about her own cage, apparently delighted that she was the cause of such dissen. sion.
 Rex beat at the bars of his cage all Monday, gradually his intense anger reduced him to weakness. He lay down and refused to answer the roaring challenges from his rival. In few hours Rex groaned, keeled over on his back and lay still

MOVE VALDEZ
 FROM GLACIER
PLAN SUGGESTED BY
 CONGRESSMAN DRiscoL
Alaskan City Awaits Action on S75'' 600 pprc3riation by Congress For Relief From Glacial Stream. Wil' Build Dyke.

VALDEZ, April 12-The all aO' sorbing item of interest here is the action which Congress will take on the appropriation of $75,OOO wnich has been asked for the building of n dyke to prevent the annual flooding of the town by the water from the valdez glacier.
 Numerous communications have been received from Congressman in response to the receipt of the reso- lution passed by the city council ask ing Congress to assist in the relief of the town. Amongst these is one from Congressman Driscol of New York who suggests that 1t might be easier to remove the town than the tlacier. "I take f." he says "that tho glacier was there first, and that the people were fool hardy in build ing their town il it's course"
 Driscon 's no doubt ignorant of the fact that the assessed valuation of the real estate on the reservation is more than three quarters of a mil lion dollars and that it would hardly he economical to move it away.
 He also seems to be under the inn pression that the glacier itself is invading the town and that the dyke is intended to stem its progress.
 If CouGrc,- i5ls to make an ap- propriation for the relief of the town another plan has been present ,I which may b. tried.
 Offering lis services in divertins rho glacier stream ny the use of dynamite. Colonel A. ". Swanitz has written letter 10 Mayor Boyle from Alameda. Cal
 The colorc, s,rtes r1at as there won't be any construction work on the Alaska Northern for year or several years. he has .rosi.nol his position with the rai'roal and would he glad to come to Valdez and un- Ge~take the work.
 He states that he sucneejed in diyrrting the waters from Spencer glacier from Mile 5+ to 50 on the railroad last summer at a slight ex- pense by using dynamite to loosen the dirt
 This is accomplished by dynamit- ing a continuous section by using the underground channels which are found in front of all glaciers.
 The Spencer glacier, the colonel says, discharges a larger volume of water than the Valdez glacier and for several years washed out the Alaska Northern track.

ATTACK T. R. PETITIONS
Democrats Seek to Have Some
Names Stricken Off.

Although the Republicans are not at
lacking the validity OF any OF the Pro-
gressive petitions for the naming OF in
dependent candidates, the Democratic or
ganization has attacked more than a
dozen Of the petitions seeking to have
some of the names stricken off. While the
Republicans are willing TO permit the Pro-
gressive candidates to stand up and be
counted, the Democrats evidently fear
that some OF the Progressive candidates
menace their ticket
All OF the signature registration books
OF the 18th Assembly District were taken
to the Board of Elections last night under
a court order that representatives OF the
Democratic organization, with represen-
tatives OF the Progressive party, might
compare the writing on the books with
that on the petitions in the district.
Owing TO the increased registration In
some OF the Assembly districts the Board
Of Elections created yesterday fifty-tiye
new election districts in the city. They
are distributed as follows: Manhattan, l6;
The Bronx, q; Brooklyn, Il; Queens. 1.
In Manhattan additional election dis
tricts have been created az follows: 18TH
Assembly District, 4; 18th, g; 2lst, 2; 3d.

as follows: S2d Assembly District, 4; $780,

HASBROUCK IS UPHELD
Court Sustains His Nomination
as a Progressive Candidate.

Albany, Oct. BY a vote OF 10 8
the Court Of Appeals to-day upheld the
validity OF the petition nominating Gill
bert d. d. Hasbrouck, OF Kingston, as the
Progressive party candidate for Supreme
Court Justice In the Sd Judicial District
Mr.. Hasbrouck Is the Republican nominee
for the justiceship.
In a per curlam opinion by Judges Gray
Haight, Chase and Collin, the court says
the 800 signatures to the Hasbrouck petit
ton were sufficient, under the recent de-
cision OF the court declaring unconstltu-
tional parts Of the Levy election law re-
auiring 800 signatures to a nominating
certificate for an Office to be voted by the
electors of districts less than the whole
state. The court. In effect, held at that
time that 500 signatures were sufficient
for such petitions. The court approved
the reasoning of the Appellate Division,
sd Department, as to the merits OF the
controversy.
Chief Judge Cullen In dissenting opin-
ion. in which Judges Vann and Werner
concurred, holds that the adoption OF
name and emblem by the National Pro-
eressIye party gave 1t the exclusive right
70 them, and no other body OF electors
could appropriate them against the pro-
,.st of. the governing body OF that or
ganization. Y

WEEK OF BIG TAFT GAIN
Fifty Per Cent Improvement in
Most Districts.

Republican campaign managers are en-
thusiastic over their daily reports, which
show that the tide which set in for Taft
and Hedges two weeks ago has been
running stronger all the time. In many
cases three canyasses have been taken.
In most districts the situation has i'm
proved so per cent In the last four weeks
The Improvement was gradual at first,
but rapid last week. The figures from
up state show that President Taft will
get a plurality OF 10000 outside Of Greater
New York, and that Mr.. Hedges Will
have more than that.
Canvasses of the city indicate clearly
that neither Wilson nor Sulzer can get
enough votes here to cOunterbalance
such pluralities up state. While the Demo-
Gratis have been claiming anything up TO
5000 plurality for Wilson in Kings
County, the Republican managers have
reason 20 believe that the Democrats Will
be lucky TO get l5,OOy. In New YORK
loss 10 the Progressive cause will be
more serious than they had at any time
figured
IL is the belief Of the Republican man
ayers that the campaign documents have
been much more effective than ever be-
fore. Never has the demand for litera-
ture been so great. Documents printed IN
10000 lots have run behind demand.
Arrangements are being made 10 have

ton Day. The church was we'll filled,
majority OF the audience being composed
OF women. Opinion as TO who won the
three cornered debate seemed to favor
Mr.. Parsons.
Mr.. Parsons spoke on the necessity OF
keeping the Republican party in power
and said that II 1t IS found the tariff
needs revision the Republicans can safely
be intrusted with the task, as they have
clearer understanding of the country's
needs In that direction than either the
Democrats or Progressives. In case Mr.
Wilson were elected next November, said
Mr.. Parsons, the tariff would become
hopelessly involved and the country
thrown into a state OF chaos.

can minority convention, published a
statement to-day 20 Taft Republicans
throughout the state. in which he warns
them that they cannot use stickers TO
place the names OF Taft electors on the
ballot. and that 10 write In the names Of
such electors would do Mr.. Taft's can
dldacy no good.
The statement explains that there are
no Taft electors nominated in California
because OF n decision OF the state su-
prcme Court. based on technical rea-
sons"
Even II small percentage should
write in the names OF Taft electors" the
statement continues, they would be
counted as scattering. and do no good TO
Mr.. Tafts candidacy. For the first time
in the history OF this state the members
OF the great Republican party OF Cali
fornia are DISTINGUISHED. And It is within
the power OF Republicans to rebuke this
action in no uncertain way on Novem-
