WASHINGTON. ID. C., July 30
Senator Burton. Of Ohio, explained
to the Senate at length today the
reasons which. in his opinion, are re-
sponsible for the present high cost
Of living. The manifest and impor-
tant causes, he said, were "the phe-
nomenai progress of recent years. the
striking Inequality of this progress in
different lines of human endeavor
and the tendencies to extravaganza
and waste and to diminish productive
energy oy a large part OF the popu-
lation.
Neither the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law or any other similar measure was
responsible for the general high level
OF prices" he declared; for the va
TIations in prices have been SO very
considerable, both in the way of in
crease and decrease, as absolutely to
disprove any inference that the
change in prices has been due to the
tariff of 1903, or to any other tariff
act"
He exonerated the trusts and large
combinations OF capital" with respon-
stbility for high prices, declaring that

BULL MEESE COW


!
CHARLESTON, July SO-Abeut
400 Roosevelt followers have
gathered here today for a state con-
ventton this afternoon to select del
egAtes to the Roosevelt convention
ct Chicago August 3.
while there IS considerable pre-
convention discussion about endofs-
ing the Republican state ticket, there
Is also a current Of sentiment mot to
take such action untll,aiter the third
party national convention at chIca-
go. None Of the leaders In the
movement will commit themselves
on the probable action Of the conven-
ton. It Is probable the convention
will selest sixteen delegates giving
each a half vote and also sixteen al
ternates to the national convention.
At a meeting of the leaders held
last night Speaker Haymond, of
Marshall county, presided. The
question of endorsing the entire RE-
publican ticket at this time was dis
cussed but no action taken.
Ex-Governor w. NJ, o. Dawson's
suggestions, whatever they are, will
doubtless be followed by the conyen-
ton. Tt was reported this morning
that William Seymour Edwards. Re
publican national committeeman,
wonld address the convention.
The Roosevelt or third party con-
.vention was called to order at ,2:15
O'Clock this afternoon by ex1Goyernor
William M. o. Dawson, chairman Of
the Roosevelt organization, and also
chairman OF the Republican state
convention.
Prayer was offered by s, r.. Haven,
of Marshall county, former speaker
OF the House of Delegates.
Am effort was made to get the dele
gates OF the sevefat counties together.
This showed lFayette, cabeil and dSa.
nawha to have nthe largest delega-
tons. "a
A double quartette rendered the
song, I'VE Want Teddy, as sung by
the West Wirginians at Chicago. No
endorsement of the Republican nom
tnees will be made at today's conven-
ton. Id
S. G. Smith. of Ohio county, was
named chairman and H. B. Buster, of

In the City of Charleston TO
Take into the State
Strike Zones.
ALL REPORTED QUIET
BY the .Adjutant General
Since Arrival Of More
State Troops.

CHARLESTON. July s-Another
day and night has passed and no
clashes have taken place in the
Paint Creek or Briar Creek regions,
where 1900 miners are out on a
strike and where there has been riot
ing caused by miners coming in from
other sections.
The fact that the miners are rap
idly arming themselves with rifles
Of the Springfield and other types
indicate that they anticipate trouble.
This situation is giving the author
tiles some concern. Yesterday many
miners could be seen walking the
streets OF Charleston with new
rifles. They appear to come to the
city especially to procure them.
Many also could be seen carrying as
many as FIVE Springfield rides.
LAdjutant General Elliott and Ma
ior Pratt stated over the long dis
lance telephone at noon that they
had been in touch with their several
companies and reported everything
quiet.
