ON TRAIL OF THE BULL MOOSE
Republican Speakers to Follow
Roosevelt Through West.
WILL CHALLENGE STATEMENTS
John Maynard Harlan and j. Adam
Bede to Garry On Energetic
Campaign for Taft on
the Coast.

John Maynard Harlan, son Of the late
Justice John Marshall Harlan of the
United States supreme cs.urt, passed
through Omaha yesterday on his way to
the Pacific coast. Beginning at Hunting
ton, Ore, he will take UP the trail and
follow Colonel Roosevelt In q special
train and will answer the latter's speeches
by presenting the real facts and. figures
Of the situation.
Former Congressman J. Adam Bede Of
Minnesota Joined the party here and
will campaign with Mr.. Harlan through
out the trip. Mr.. Bede is well known
here as clever and forceful orator and
master of satire
The itinerary Of the party will be ex-
actly the same as that of Colonel Roose-
velt In many cases their special train
will follow the colonel's train so closely
that they will address the same audi
ences.
THE republican national committee has
requested me to follow Colonel Roose-
yelt." said Mr.. Harlan 1T is not our
intention to attack Colonel Roosevelt.
But we do intend to see to it that no
misrepresentation by Mr.. Roosevelt shall
go unchallenged. We intend to present
the truth. And where Colonel Roosevelt
has avoided or distorted the truth, VIC
intend to supplement his speeches in that
respect 1t is our intention that the
people of the Pacific coast to whom
Colonel Roosevelt is to address his ap-
peal for support for his third term party,
shall from him receive no misconception
Of the truth condemning the republican
party or the administration Of President
Taft
There will be no interference with the
plans or the meetings of Colonel Roose.
velt We shall tolerate nothing that
might embarras him. But we shall per.
mt no misrepresentation or misstatement
to go uncontradicted. We are prepared to
present the truth and we intend to dc
so. That Is the simple purpose of our
campaign
John Maynard Harlan was born in Ken
lucky in 1864. He bears a striking re-
semblance TO his illustrious father He
is graduate of Princeton and was one
of the famous foot ball players of that
university. In 1906, when he was a candi-
date for mayor he stirred Chicago as It
had never been stirred before or since.
News from Maine Pleases.
! He was met at the station here by VIC
tor Rosewater. with whom he had been
closely associated during the Chicago con-
vention, and from him learned of the re-
publican victory in Maine.
That's fine news" he exclaimed. 1T
shows the way the wind is blowing, and
that with the people thoroughly aroused
they will want no experimental change
of government and will stand firmly by
Taft and the republican party"

BURLINGTON, Ia, Sept. 10<-The elev-
enth annual convention of the Upper Mis-
sissippi Valley Improvement association
convened here today with delegates from
Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin and
Minnesota present, with former Congress-
man Thomas Hedge OF. Burlington in the

A letter from Woodrow Watson praisins
and endorsing the work Of the association
was the chief feature of the morning ses-
sion. The. convention. will last for three
days and on Thursday the delegates will
be taken to Keokuk on a government
steamboat to inspect the dam across the
Mississippi there. =
Governor wilson's letter, which was ad-
dressed to Colonel John T. Martin Of st.
Louis. delegate to the convention, was
as follows:
Il am sincerely sorry that it will not
be possible for me to attend the meeting
of the Upper Mississippi River Improve
ment association. l am bound by en-
gagements at the time of the. meeting
from which cannot honorably withdraw.
''It would give me pleasure TO be pres
ent and to express my entire sympathy
with projects that look toward the open
ing up and the systematic connection OF
our great water courses and their prep
aration for navigation on a great scale.
1t has undoubtedly become necessary that
we should reconsider our whole trans
portatfon problem In view of the develop!
ments which are sure to follow immedi-
lately upon the opening of the Panama
canal We have become aware in recent
years that our transportation facilities
were not equal to the great demands
made upon them by the enormous move
ments Of trade within the country. Our
trade must have open ways. Our water
courses must be linked and where neces-
sary deepened. We must broaden and
multiply the channels Of our commerce.
Il could not say anything to the con-
gress than could not be better said by
men who have become experts upon this
question, but 1 can at least give myself
the pleasure Of expressing my own UNI
hesitating opinion IN the matter.

policemen degrading themselves to get
evidence against dIsorderly houses BY

Insisted on the integrity Of the civil

investigation of His own Con-

by Committee.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-For more than
two hours this afternoon Mayor Gaynor
of New York sat In a witness chair at
the city hall and parrled with pietur-
esque retort and evasion the attempts
of counsel for an aldermanic committee
to learn his views on the police situa-
ton brought to head by the murder Of
the gambler, Herman Rosenthal.
Three times he threatened to leave the
stand because h considered the questions
irrelevant; twice he denounced the hear
ing as scandal-mongering excursion
and often he said their attempts to
''scandalize" him would be in vain for
he had lived In the city too long and
had begun his efforts to purify the gov
ernment long before Emory r. Buckner.
counsel for the committee, was born.
At no time during his examination
would he admit the police department
was inefficient. He expressed renewed
confidence in Rhinelander Waldo COM
missioner Of police, and declared II So
cial evil flourished, 1t was at least on
police blackmail, which he had tried to
eradicate.
BY way OF counter-lnvestgation Of
the committee whose chairman, Alder
man William II. Curran, he denounced
yesterday, the mayor before taking the
stand, set foot an investigation of re-
ports that the committee had accepted a
high Instead of low bid for its ste
nographic work.
