Navy Department. simultaneously with
a review of the Atlantic fleet at New
York the Pacific fleet will rendezvous

litical significance in the order.

program of exercises of the Atlantic
fleet now in progress off the coast Of
New England. The vessels will as
semble in the lower Hudson river at
New York for review by President Taft

The Fight for Congress.

The fight for Congress will be an i'm
portant feature of the national cam
paign. Probably there w<al be no sep
arate congressional committee, sub.
committee of the national committee be-
ing intrusted with the management.
Senator Dixon tells The Stars corre-
spO3dent that a progressive candidate for
the national House of Representatives
will be put UP in every congressional dis
trict where the sitting member or present
candidate does not declare his allegiance
10 Roosevelt Thus is assured the certain
splitting OF the vote of the republicans in
important congressional districts in the
north, where unquestionabiy many repub-
lican incumbents and candidates will re-
fuse to subscribe To the platform adopted
by this convention as the principles of the
new party.
IL is not enough that these men should
accept the tenets OF faith laid down by
the colonel, even if they would: they must
accept the colonel. OF course, the placing
Of state tickets in the field means an ef-
fort to get foothold in the United

What Tariffs Show.

The commission has not checked UP the
tariffs with present rates. but such ex-
animation as has been possible indicates
that the increases to the Pacific terminals
are considerably greater than the reduc-
tions to the inter-Rocky mountain terri
tory.
Mr.. Countiss says that some carload
rates to terminal points are advanced on
commodities which are not subject tc
water competition to any great extent
This adjustment. he points out, creates
an advance to the terminals, but reduces
the rates to interior destinations.
Some commodity rates in force at pres
ent are absolutely eliminated. thus auto
matically transferring the articles shipped
to western classification, under which the
rates would be considerably higher than
at present. Mr.. CountiSs maintains that
this adjustment would relieve the dis
elimination against interior destina tions
which now exists.

GENERAL RATE INCREASE
PROPOSED BY RAILROADS
New Tariffs Filed With Com
merce Commission by the
.TranScontinentaI Lines.

General increases in freight rates on
commodities to become effective Septem-
ber > are proposed in new tariffs filed
by the transcontinental railroads with the
interstate commerce commission. While
the new rates are designed to meet the
commissions decision in the Spokane
Reno and Phoenix rate cases and would
reduce rates to the intermountaln terri
tory, they materially increase rates from
all the east to Pacific coast points.
The proposed tariffs, which affect all
transcontinental traffic, were filed by r
Fl. Countiss of Chicago. for all the trans
continental railroads. 1t always has been
contended by the railroads that these
rates We're too low.

CHICAGO, Ill. August 7.-Exhibiting
more of the features of an old-fashioned
camp meeting revival than a political
gathering. the progressive convention con-
tinues in state of almost frenzied en-
thusiasm
High-water mark, il is thought. was
reached late yesterday afternoon. when
the delegates and the vast audience
broke into the singing of old-time revival
hymns. but the tide has not receded
today
This is not politics-this is a religion,
declared Senator Dixon. as his eyes swept
over the impressive assembly, and wit
messed men and women swaying in a
frenzy of emotion. Case-hardened and
calloused newspaper men who had been
through the wars of many conventions
looked on in amazement, for never had
they seen the like. Col. Roosevelt made
no effort to conceal his delight.

Prominent democrats. governors of

most of them in the garb of the sea-
shore. came from up and down the Jersey
coast to attend the exercises.
From the broad veranda of the white
coated house. where the governors of
New Jersey are won't to spend their sum-
mers. the nominee delivered his speech.
Grouped beneath wide-spreading willows
and elms were the more prominent guests.
hedged in by clumps Of ferns and bushes.
The governor read from his manuscript.
The platform, he said. was not pro-
gram, but a practical document intended
to show that I'VE know what the nation
is thinking about and what it is most
concerned about"
The people, he added. were about TO be
asked not particularly to adopt a plat
form, but to intrust the democratic party
with office and power and the guidance
of their affairs" and the desire now was
to know what translation of action and
policy he intends to give to the general
terms of the platform, should he be
elected"

SEAGIRT. y. j., August 7.-tiov. Wood
row Wilson of New Jersey was officially
informed today that he had been chosen
by the Baltimore convention as the nomi-
nee for the presidency on the democratic
ticket.
Briefly and simply the governor was
notified of his nomination by Senator
elect Ollie James of Kentucky, who en-
phasized. he said that the governor
had obtained the honor untrammeled by
Obligations and unembarrassed by affilia-
tions of any kind. Though the governor
spoke i'm acceptance theoretically to the
fifty-two members of the committee, rep
resentng every state and territory in the
Union. the speech sounding the depths OF
his political philosophy, was heard by a
great throng.
The committee of notification, number
ing thirty-five members left New York at
II o'clock this morning for Seagirt The
committee occupied three special coaches
attached to the regular train. An inter-
esting member of the committee was Mrs.
c. p Overfield of Salt Lake, Utah, who
took the place of her husband, G. p.
Overfield, who was unable to come east,
and asked his wife to act for him in the
committee.

Points Out Task Ahead.

The task ahead. the governor explained,
was to set UP the rule of justice, and of
righting the tariff, the regulation of
trusts and the prevention of monopoly.
the adaptation Of the banking and cur
rency laws to meet present day condi-
tons, the treatment of those who labor
lin factories and mines, and throughout all
the great industrial and commercial un-
dertakings. and the political life of the
people of the Philippines. for whom we
hold governmental power in trust for
their service, not our own.
BY 11:30 the roadway was damned
with automobiles. Gov. Mann of Vir.
gfnia was the first of the governors to ar
rive.
Its a great day for democracy" said
Gov. Mann as he entered the governor S
cottage and greeted the nominee.
Gov. Mann was followed a few minutes
later by Gov. Plaisted of Maine, who
talked earnestly with Gov. Wilson for q
half hour.

Professors Attend.

Among the visitors. who arrived early
for the exercises were number of pro-
fessors from Princeton University.
The marching clubs which arrived with
brass bands bore orange and black PEN
nants with Wilson picture on them.
On their coats they wore sunfiowers.
Col. William Libbey, Princeton, -, a
member of the governors staff, was an
earIy arrival. 1t was Col. Liboey who
gave the orange and black color scheme
to Princeton, which probably VIII be the
coIors of the democratic campaign dec
orations.
Col. Libbey discovered while in England
in 1870 that the English branch of the
Duke Of Nassau's family had adopted
orange and black. and brought it to
Princeton the next year. when it was
adopted as the college insignia. Col.
I.iubey boasts the distinction of having
been the first Princetonian to wear the
