REP PUBLICAN
 SENATOR ELECT
 STICKS BY GUNS
Norris Not For Taft and Willing to Have People of State
 Hold Another Primary

Washington July 1S-Calling 0f new primarS elections to decide the right of Roosevelt electors and pro-R -Roose- welt candidates to remain on state regular" Republican tickets was a solution of the political mix up, to- day suggested by Representative Nor ris. the Nebraskan progressive who was recently nominated for Senator.
 sIt is claimed that because I have refused to admit and denouhceda the alleged renomina ton of President Taft T should withdraw from the tic ket as one of the Republican, candi- dates Norris said in letter<tos John l.. Kennedy of Omaha, chafrmap, of the Nehfaska state committees. Ii is my belief that MT. Tafts alleged nomination was not obtained either lawfully or honestly Believing this, T. have denounced this alleged nomina- tion as unlawful and I have refused to recognize MT. Taft as the Repub- lican nominee
 Norris declared he refused to accede to demands for his withdrawal as the Republican senatorial nominee made at the behest of :" a. few self consti- tlted and self-appointed leaders, when most of these self-appointed eensors of Republicanism are federal office holders. The Nebraska progressive then stated he had his nomination from the rank and file of Republicans and suggested holding new state- wide primary for all Republican nom- ifees of Nebraska to ascertain if the voters wish to recall those renom- mated for refusing to support Taft.

F, Sheehan, of New York. chairman of the Democratic executive committee. today. Sheehan said the entire Democratic fund in 1904 was about a million dollars and of this on condition that 1t be expended in New York State.
 z Do you know of any contributors who gave $5;000f or more to the cam paign fund F' asked Senator C1App

ROASTS
 ALL PARTIES ?
 BUT HIS OWN

Washington, July '1s,@In a politi- cal battle royal" today, In the House, Representative Victor Berger. the Wisconsin Socialist. larnbastsd all old and new parties to sound the Socialist Keynote of the campaign.
 sThe capitalist class is just as VgiIf- ing,t tos deal with the Democrats as with the Republicans" was BerEer's opening hot shot. The latter is con- servative and the Democrat1c, reac- tionary. . Fg
 'progressives's who are now setting out to purify politics will at once demonstrate that Robin Hoods fa~ nous assemblage of outlaws had nothing on the gangs that are now rallying around Theodores RoCgeYelt
 'sWilscn's election will not only perpetuate the power of the bosses and their machines but will also in- augurate another era of prosperity -as we had under Grover Cleveland for men of the type. of Belmont and Ryan. az,
 ssIt is unnecessary to explain where MT Taft stands. It is as natural for a man of his type to be allied with men like Root Crane, Guggenheim and Hammond as it is for duck to take to water. 1
 aThe Republican party is the. fav- orite organizations of the big. capi< talists.
 'The capitalist class is just as NfII- ing to deal with the Democratic party as with the Republican party, Be- hind the times in most things. the Democratic party is especially iEnCF- ant-in regard to- the labor question, as the laws of any southern state prove. 5 But the workingmen. of this country have votes and that Is the reason why the Democrats have in recent years discovered that they dearly love the workingman.' That is the reason they have passed a few labor laws-campaign food on the eve of a presidential election. 0f course, these laws will not add q single sandwich to the daily. fare of workingrnen or working women.
 The Socialist leader analysed tho supporters and packers of Colonel Roosevelt branding them as "bossesY and machine leaders. We must have new constitution or a bloody revo$ lutfon," Berger declared.
 Our workingmen, today, build few palaces and many hovels-ths workingmen to live in the novels and the few capitalists in the palaces. They make a small, amount of fine clothes and millions of yards of shoddy-they to wear the shoddy.
 They must ruin their health by overwork that few, people may ruin their, health by too much leisure.
 The majority now degenerateg through poverty so that a small nifn- ority may live in luxury.'
