The Bulgarians were discovered to
be in overwhelming strength and not
merely a night vanguard as had been
expected.

Wisconsin Farmer Suicide After

Sheboygan, Wis. oct. 2S.--Alvin

mouth, late yesterday, shot and kill
ed his father-in law, Philip ]. OFT
Mrs. OFT and Mrs. otis father, Fred
Haul, 80, when he was refused per-

aroused discussion here. today, over
the probable methods of filling his
place. The general opinion expressed
was the Republican National commit
tee or the Executive committee pos
sessed power to fill vacancy on the
ticket. No one here Processes to
know whether the Chicago convention
specifically provided for such an
emergency, The report of the 1908
convention does not appear to show
that such provision was made then,
and the stenographie report of the
convention, this year, has not yet been
printed.
Should a vacancy occur upon the
Republican ticket, either before or
after election some Republican lead
ers here, today. agreed the electors
would have power to vote for any
candidate fer vice president they might
choose. precedents were admitted TIC
be lacking, but it was declared that
only party discipline and honor ha !,
in the past bound electors TO vote for
their party nominees Ne one sug
gested, however that choice by the
Republican National committee or
its executive committee would fail to
receive the support Of the Taft cleo
tors. Ordinarily should there ~be no
Vice President, the President pro TEN
of the Senate would preside over that
body and the line of succession to
the Presidency would be to the secre-
tary of state. For the last several
months, however. the present Senate
has been unable TO agree upon Pres
ident pro TEN and that office has been
vacant.
Some time ago, it was learned, to-
day, Chairman Charles ID. Hilles. of
the Republican National committee
made exhaustive inquiries as to the
necessity of certifying to the various
secretaries of states the names of the
Republican candidates and as a re-
suit certified the names of Taft and
Sherman for printing upon ballots In
all states. A supplemental petition,
however, probably would be accepted
in most states where ballots have not
already been printed. The procedure
where ballots already have been print
ed was not known.
The possibility if even remote one,
that there might be no Republican
candidate for Vice President, suggests
many interesting possibilities in the
event that the election should go to
the House of Representatives.

Breaking directly into his subject
Cow Johnson began to explain what
the Progressive party promises.
The Progressive party stands firm
ly opposed to the corrupt alliance of
Big Business and Unholy Politics. The
new party has entered into the nation
al political arena with two basic ideas,
first, that the people shall govern
themselves as they see fit, poorly, it is
possible. but that they govern them
selves; second, that the great concern
of the government is to take care of
the men, women ard children of the
nation The Progressive party has
come to the people of the United
States with these principles, and asks
the support of all.A with no respect TO
their previous political predileetions
or Affiliations.

easterly state, the same enthusiasm
for the Progressive cause that l ma

Long Call to Be Attempted.
Within the next few days the sta
ton will attempt communication with
the powerful station at Clifden. Ire
land, the nearest working plant on
the other side of the Atlantic. Off
GERS are hopeful of the outcome. Con-
slant communication is now being
maintained by commercial company

strueted for the purpose of bridging
the Atlantic with aerial Intelligence.
A commercial corporation has vir-

powerful plant at Sayville, Long Is
land, which will have as its European
terminus a STATEN of similar design
in the vicinity of Berlin. Still another
near New York is projected, with its
sister plant in Norway.
The Arlington station marks the
most advanced step thus far taken
in the establishment of regular and
steady communication by wireless over
long distances, although the records
of the army and navy departments
disclose many "freak" messages sent
and received over great spaces. These,
however. were exchanged under the
most favorable conditions and for the
most part are regarded IS accidents.
Reports to the navy department have
been frequent of messages caught and
exchanged over remarkable distances,
