Detroit, Oct. 3.-If the story which
George Brown Spengler told last

TAFT Is GAINING STRENGTH
WITH PENNSYLVANIA VOTERS

Philadelphia. Oct. 3.--For the first
time since the birth Of the republican
party Pennsylvania is fighting ground
in a presidential campaign. Notwith-
standing the claims Of the bull moose
men, the drift hack to the republican
party and to the support Of President
Taft has been SO marked in the last
ten days the indications are that it will
be found in 1t usual place in the re-

first time in any presidential contest.
they are working as never before to
redeem the state, The democratic ma
tional committee will send its best
speakers here. but 1t will require very
nearly an even division Of the anti
democratic vote to enable Gov. Wilson
to win.
The third party candidate is not so

ported him then as a republican hav.,
refused to follow him out of the party,
His connection with William Finn, for

Lived In One State and Claimed Resi-.
dence In Another.
Cheyenne, wyo.. Oct. 3.-As a re-
suit Of an investigation made by the
department Of the interior. the candi-
dacy OF John B. Hendricks for United
States senator from Wyoming serious
ly has been involved. ..
Kendrick. a wealthy cattle man
lives near the Montana line. A few
years ago he made application. to cut
timber in Montana setting forth that
he was dry farmer and a resident of
that state. He obtained 25. 900 feet for
building purposes.
Hendricks candidacy resulted in his
being called upon for an explanation
which he made to the effect that he
was an actual resident Of Montana
although claiming legal residence in
Wyoming"
Kendrick was chosen as the demo-
cratic candidate in the recent primary
election. A department ruling that he
is bona-flde Montana resident would
result. 1t is expected. in his rejection
by the democratic party in Wyoming.

THE POLITICAL HOROSCOPE
IN SOME OF The STATES

there Il considerable uncertainty con-
cerning the tariff views Of Governor
Wilson. which viii lreduce the plu-
rality he will receive In the industrial
centers, where the drift of republi-
cans to his candidacy is ten times as
large as the drift Of democrats toward
the Roosevelt candidacy. The bull
moose candidate. however. is strong
est among the farmers of the state.
and they have more confidence in his
tariff policies than they have in Presi-
dent Taft. the reciprocity scare still
remaining.
The combination between the re-
publicans and the bull moosers by
which the support Of the progressives
has been thrown to the regular re-
publican candidates for state, con-
gressional, and local offices. gives the
republican state ticket considerable
advantage, and IL the vote which re-
fused to go to the polls in the election
Of 1910 can be brought out through
the Taft and Roosevelt organizations
in the state the republicans will con-
tinue their control Of the state.
Tariff Principal Issue.
The congressional campaigns In the
state are under way. with the tariff
question being the principal issue be-
tween tne ALI OI tuS INV
republican nominees for congress
have been endorsed by the progress
sives and will have their names on
both tickets. Through this method
they expect to catch the votes Of both
the Taft and Roosevelt republicans.
and while there will be some defec-
tions in all five Of the districts. 1t Is
yer ylikely two Of the four congress
sional districts which elected demo-
Gratis in 1910 will give republican ma
jorities this year. The Third and
Fourth districts. now represented by
democrats, furnish more hopeful evi-
dence for the republicans. while the
Fifth district will elect republican.
Owing to some factional contests
in several of the counties and sena-
torial districts. the complexion Of the
next state legislature. which will elect
a successor to Senator Clarence w.
Watson. is much in doubt.

Rome, Oct s.-The Balkan crisis

opinion in Italian diplomatic circuits
This Is regarded as the only way in
which Turkey can claim free hand

be free to subjugate the Greecian
Meet which is its inferior.
Prices on all the Italian bourses

the Balkan crisis.
Italy although at war with Turkey
for year past joined the ranks Of
the peacemakers today and gave her
support to the powers which are try
Ing to prevent the Balkan states from
attacking her enemy. Specific in
