at Meeting on
July 10

Washington, July 9.The cam
paign for the reelection of Presi-
dent Taft will be formally launched
tomorrow in New York. James b
Reynolds Of Massachusetts, today
named secretary of the National
Committee, will do the launching
and C. D. Hilles the new chairman,
will join him in New York on Mon
day to help sail the political ship.
Hilles issued a statement tonight de-
claring the confidence of the Repub-
lican party in its cause and candi-
date.
Charles d. Hilles. President Taft's
secretary, was today chosen fol-
chairman of the Republican Nation
al Committee. The election took
place at a downtown hotel at which
the subcommittee met, after brief
conference with Taft.
Charles B. Warren, National Com
mitteeman from Michigan, made the
motion to make Hiiles' selection
unanimous. He was appointed a
committee of one to notify Hilles
and bring him into the conference
at once with the subcommittee
Soon afterwawrd James h. Rey-
nolds, now a member of the tariff
board, was chosen secretary of the
committee.
Chairman Hilles and the full Ma
tional Committee will meet July 10
at New York to appoint treasurer,
other officers, an Executive Commit
tee and an advisory committee,
Hiles will resign his office as
secretary to the President on Satur-

sistant secretaries. Rudolph Forster
and Sherman Allen.

headquarters at Chicago and Pacific
Coast headquarters at PPortlnd,
Ore, ws considered at today's meet
ing of the subcommittee and prac-
tically decided upon. Ralph E. Will
liams, former Republican comntlt-
teeman for Oregon. was favored to
take charge of the far western Of
fees.
Hilles to Have Aid
The management Of the National
Committee and the campaign will
not be left to Hifles' hands alone,
as it was left entirely to Hitchcock
four years ago. Hiiles will have as
sisting him an Advisory Committee
of five men, to be seSected from the
Executive Committee and the ranks
of the National Committee. Some
of the members of this convention
will be Senators Murray Crane OF

In the afternoon Hon. Merlin Hull.

both dreditable to the order and the
speaker. He covered range of sub

financially. The real principle of Equity

COOLEST JANUARY REcois
Never Before Has Mercury Averaged

some, remarks the La Crosse Press
Never, during the 40 years that figures
have been take at the local station, has
the mean temperature for the month
equalled that of the past 81 days One
end one-tenth degrees below zerois the
mean temperature for The record break
ing period which came tn US close at
midnight Thursday and this tempera-
ture is 3.5 degrees lower than the mean
temperature of q above for the month
of January, 1888, which previously was
the record. The only other mean tenn
perature approaching that of last month
was in January 1876 when the mercury
averaged above. The normal for
January, since records have been kept
at the weather station. is IL 2 from
whichit is seen that January 1912 was

There were % days in January of below
zero weather and not during the month
did the mercury soar above the freezing
mark. Had it not been for the milder

HOW WE cAN.HELP THE BOYS
Carrier Tells How Patrons Cause
Waste of Time

EDITOR CENsoRr "a great deal of the
time of rural letter carriers is each dav
taken up needlessly by the people whom
thep serve on the route. The persons
causing this delay by not having their
letters stamped, sealed or addressed,
or worse still, BY dropping couple of
pennies into the box. instead of stick
ing stamp on the letter, do not seem
to realize that the carrier has one hun
dred or more other stops to make be-
fore his route is completed
The government has estimated that
two minutes are now required by the
carrier at each box on his route. There
are about 1000 rdral carriers in the
United States. Taking 100 boxes as
the average number on each route, we
have 5000, 600 minutes each day which
are allowed by the government for the
carriers to serve mail at the boxes of
the country. Now, if each patron of
the route would have the letters which
they intend to write all ready, stamped,
sealed, addressed and in the boxes, at
the time when the carrier is due, it
W luld save each one just half the time
or 100 minutes each day, and the last
patron on the route could read his mail
one hour and forty minutes sooner than
is now the case.
If the public would stop and figure
what this means to the man, who
through all kinds Of weather, and many
times under severe difficulties, serves
them with their mail, the daily task of
the rural carrier would be greatly les
sened EtN
wish to thank patrons on my route
for their kindness in realizing what such
carrier and for having all mail for col
lection stamped. Yours truly,
Nt BERT ADAMS,
Carrier on Genoa Route No 2.

HE PLANNED DESTRUCTION
OLD CITIZEN PIONEER COM
MITS SUICIDE
Aaron NJ Warner Shoots Himself at
Newton This Wednesday
Morning

Mr. Aaron NJ. Warner, one of the
best known, early pioneer farmers and
citizens of western Vernon county COM
mitted suicide at the family farm this
Wednesday morning The deed was
executed in a bed room in which his
wife was sleeping. He arose, as was
his custom, about $50, and built the
fire. After the son and son-in-law had
gone out to do the chores MIR. Warner
quiently went into the room, layed down
at the foot of the bed and deliberately
shot himself with 32-caliber revolver
The purpose was determined, for Mr..
Warner slipped the weapon under his
clothing, directed at his heart, through
which the bullet passed, coming out
drought the back of the neck.
Officers were summoned, District At
torney Bennett, Justice Pollard, Deputy
Sheriff Garrett and Stenographer Mel
son, driving to the home below New
ton. A jury empanneled found in ac-
cordanee with the facts, that the good
citizen, Aaron Nj. Warner, had deliber-
ately taken his own life. He left let
ter directing what he desired be done in
case anything should happen to him,
indicating intent to commit the rash
act. No reason can be assigned, but it
is believed he was not quite himself in
mind
His father committed suicide in the
same neighborhood more than forty
years ago.
Mr.. Warner was 70 years old, ma
tive of Ohio. locating in Harmony town
at an early day. He leaves a wife and
three children.
He was member of highly re-
spected connection, who settled in the
town of Harmony well near fifty years
ago.
