RUNAWAY HORSE
 CAUSES EXCITEMENT

Twenty-first street had it's full share of excitement last night. Immediately fol lowing the free-for-all fight in front of the Colonial hotel, from far down the street came the chatter of iron shod hoofs and cries and sounds of general excite ment. A runaway horse, with broken harness trailing behind him. was dash ing down Twenty-first street. At the court house corner a small boy was knocked down, but not seriously injured. Several attempts were made to stop the runaway, and one man on First avenue. tumbled head over heels when he tried to clutch the flying traces.
 No information could be gained as to where the horse came from and up until late last night no one knew where he had gone.

BUT[ER'S SPEECH
 ON PRESIDENT TAFT

Chicago, June 2.-Nicholas Murray But Ter in his address seconding the nomina- ton of President Taft, said
 Every 16 years there comes a crisis in the history of the republican party. We had to face such a crisis in 1896 and were told we were ruined. We faced it and we won one of the greatest victories our party ever achieved. In the convention of 1880 we had a great crisis where a really new issue was presented to the party. We surmounted that crisis and remained in control of the nation, in 1864, came q crisis and leading republicans said the party was ruined; we could not possibly win. and when the campaign was well under way no less a man than Horace Greedy wrote that Abraham Lincoln could not possibly be elected.
 These presidents are not elected in these crowded halls with cheering thou sands. They are elected by the votes in November"
