Works Opposes Third Party
Idea.

Washington, July 20.-Sena-
tor Work, of California, an ae-
tive progressive Republican. in
q statement given out today,
said the promoters of the "new
party" would be guilty of dis.
honorable dealings if they
should attempt TO retain con-
troll of the Republican machin-
cry in States where the pro.
gressive faction controls the
Republican party.
Senator Work said neither
Taft nor Roosevelt had been
legally nominated; that the Re-
publican party had no legal
nominee, and that voters were
free to vote for whom they
chose. He said that this Ia no
time to form new party.
THAT must come later, /" he
said.
Senator Work said the alter
native for Republicans was to
"rebnke corrupt politics" if
they did not believe Taft was
honestly elected, by refraining
from voting, by voting for the
Democratic candidate, or by
voting for Roosevelt or SONS
one else as an independent can

TYPHOID OUTLOOK IS EN-
COURAGING.
State is Anxious to Attack
Every Outbreak At First
Appearance.
Appearance.

hicnmond, va, July TO-
Statistics just compiled at the
State Health Department show
a considerable decrease in the
number of cases of typhoid
fever reported in June of this
year as compared with June
1911, and the prospects are
bright, according to Health
officers, for q favorable season.
While they are not willing to
forecast an entire season on the
showing for single month,
the officers of the State Health
DEPARTING mt are much encourag
ed ut the marked decrease in
the number of cases of typhoid
reported this season, and are
especially pleased to observe
that where typhoid worked its
worst ravages last year, com
paratively few cases have been
reported this season.
Experience has shown, how
ever that July and August are
the heavy months of typhoid
infection i'll Virginia. For this
reason the State Health Depart
ment has mustered the largest
force of field experts it has ever
gathered to combat the disease,
and is prepared to investigate
every outbreak.
The ravages of typhoid"
said Health Commissions VIII
liams yesterday, have been so
narrowing in Virginia that we
are using with Mt least 10000
cases of the disease occurring
annually, and with perhaps a
Thousand deaths from typhoid.
we feel that the State must
bend every energy to combat
this scourage.
June figures are most en-
cournging and Indicate that
the extensive campaign of
education carried on during
previous years is having it's
effect in the better information
of our people.
unless there should occur Ii
number of serious epidemics of
whose existence we have no
present information, and unless
there should be an extremely
hot season, there il every
reason to believe that Virginia
will not suffer this year as
severely as heretofore from
typhoid fever. The State is
prepared to do its utmost, and
it's field force with their labora
tory equipment, are prepared to
investigate all outbreaks. Our
success is largely dependent
upon the promptness with
which epidmedics are reported
and we renew our former pleas
that wherever there are signs
of an undue prevalence of the
disease, the State Board of
Health be notified at once. We
hope to make this the best sea
son Virginia has ever known in
the war against typhoid fever.
