FARMERS TO HEAR STRAUS
Nominee to Speak at Fair the
Day After Wilson.

Chairman Hotchkiss OF the Progressive
State Committee wrote yesterday TO the
managers of the state fair at Syracuse
that Il would be convenient for oscar y.
Straus. the Progressive candidate lor
Governor. and former Senator Davenport,
the candidate for Lieutenant Governor
TO speak there on Friday. Governor VIII
son Is to make a speech at the fair on
Thursday, speaking before the Demo-
cratic State Committee on the same day
Many letters were received at state
headquarters congratulating the party on
its choice for Governor and expressing
satisfaction that the town meeting meth
dds had been used so successfully in
choosing a ticket.
.I am absolutely certain not only that
the nomination OF Mr.. Straus was proV-
DENTAL" said Mr.. Hotchkiss. but that
when the history OF our times shall be
written by impartial historians 1t VIII be
recognized that our convention represent
cd one OF the milestones in our natioha'
progress
AR Uotchkiss said he had not ADVISED
with Mr.. Straus in regard TO whether or
NOT he should retire from the board or
arbitration in the locomotive engineers
wage dispute. "He Is too big man 10

kiss. II think he did just right, however
I'm remaining where he was. DO NOT
think IT will interfere too much with his
duties as candidate"
Mr. Straus has asked that NOT 10"

Governor Wilson said the leaders OF the
party were one thing and the rank and

follows:

How He Was Converted.

To the accompaniment of Tutoring
flags and bandannas and cheers and an
occasional wall OF baby, restless In its
mothers arms, Colonel Roosevelt
launched into an explanation Of his atti-
tude on woman suffrage. The colonel said
he had become an active suffragist only
after working with such women as MISS
Jane Adams. Miss Keller, Miss Drier
and others. who believed suffrage would
help in their work and aid the sex as a
whole The colonel said that for a long
time Ire had been fayorably inclined tow
ard woman suffrage, but he had become
actively converted after association with
the workers I'm various lines OF work. He
added:
I'm the first place. am. naturally demo-
cratic I'm the sense OF the word that |
do not ike to associate intimately with
those who have not the same rights |
have. II feels natural TO meet women
who can vote. II appears so nice TO ac-
they have the same power OF expressing
their views and OF helping carry Them
into fruition that have.
In his second speech 10 women only the
third term candidate wound up with an
appeal that every woman present should
register.
Now that you have the right OF SUI
frage IN Washington" said he, you
should exercise il. You will be false TO
your duty if you fail TO register"
II happens that this was the last regis
tration day in Spokane. and after the
coloners speech there was a rush for the
registration office. Several hundred women
were in line within half hour after the
colonel ended, among them being finely
dressed women in automobiles and women
afoot and clad in cheap clothing. The
color line wasn't drawn at the meetings,
either. The audience included probably Il
score Of negro women.
Colonel Roosevelt spent a lively day In
Spokane before noon. There were a street
parade. an open air mass meeting and n
talk TO business men. The afternoon was
devoted 10 the women.
Spokane and Eastern Washington are
presumed to be Roosevelt territory. In
the western portion OF the state, however,
the Taft sentiment is strong. and Wilson
also is In tho running. Progressive lead
ers here say the colonel will carry tho
state provided he can obtain publicity IN
Western Washington. The press and the
business interests OF that section are ac-
knowledged now to be for the President,
and the third termers probably will cen
tro their missionary work on Seattle, Ia
coma and West Washington towns, where

Scott Sure Of West Virginia.

rormer Senator Nathan Il. Scott, OF
West Virginia. explained the situation In
that state To Chirman Hilles yesterday.
Although there had been some trouble
with the electors In West Virginia, Mr.
Scott said he believed that the situation
had cleared up 81 feel free 10 say now"
he declared. that II President Taft and
yice-Presldent sherman carry West Vir-
ginia. as ! confidently predict they Will.
every one of the electors will act hon
estly and cast his vote for the Republl-
can ticket
Already a majority Of the electors have
announced themselves In favor OF the
Taft ticket. the former Senator said, and
those who have not done so are men OF
such high character that there is no
doubt they will act squarely when the
time comes.
They are merely little embarrassed
he added having been ardent Roosevelt
followers before the Chicago convention.
Naturally, IL In n little hard for them TO
turn Immediately to the support Of an
other candidate, but they realize that
they would be entirely discredited by
casting their electoral votes for Roose-
Welt"
Mr. Scott said he could not find Ian
guage emphatic enough to express his
opinion that Taft would carry West Vlr-
ginia. "Dr. Hatfield, the Republican NOM
inee for Governor" said the former Sen
ator 'is one Of the most remarkable cam
paigners the state has ever seen. lie was
"A great discovery for the Republican
party. He will have a majority OF 10000
will carry in a Republican Legislature
and his canvass will be OF great value 10
the Presidential ticket"

NORRIS FOR ROOSEVELT
Nebraska Representative Says He Is a
Republican, but Against Taft.

Lincoln. Neb.. Sept. Representative
George W. Norris, candidate for Senator
on the Republican ticket, gave out a
statement to-day in which he declared
that. while still a Republican. ne would
support Roosevelt for the Presidency.
His statement said In part
No one seriously believes Mr.. Taft was
the honest and lawful nominee of the
Chicago convention. The men who per-
petrated this fraud privately admit IL
and Justify themselves on the ground
that IL was the only way they had of de-
feating the nomination Of Roosevelt.
