It's Ticket.

Washington, MAY %. The comfort
ing belief that Colonel Roosevelt will
support any kind Of ticket and plat
form they put up at Chicago was loud
IL expressed by the Republican reg
ulsrs" to-day. They interpret the
ColonePs statement yesterday as mean
ing that he has no intention OF boltlng'
but is going to do everything possible
70 get the nomination for himself, eX-
cent to make a fight which will endan-
ger party unity.
This assurance the regulars" spread
among the minor members Of the or
canization. encouraging the fsvorite
sons TO hang on, and in general carry
ing out their plan Of keeping the stu
alton open. Their one desire at pres
cnt. with their own ranks divided as
10 the nomination, is TO prevent any
candidate getting so great a lead that
he will run away with the convention
end for this purpose any vote that can
be held. away from Roosevelt or Hughes
helps.
Working for Hughes.
The growth Of the Roosevelt senti-
ment through the country has swung
more and more OF the leaders toward
Hughes as the only change Of beating
the Colonel, and several efforts were
launched to-day TO consolidate the
Hughes strength. A long statement
was put out designed 20 show what the
Justices views would be on to-day's
questions b. citing his utteranees OF
Years ago. New Workers who had been
i'm contact with him during his two
terms as Governor spread the woru
that he was not so hostile 10 organlls-
zion as had been feared. and that ne
would "work we'll" with the regulars
This was intended chiefly to offset the
argument which had been making head
way among the politicians that hughes
would be less of a party man than
Roosevelt
The regular leaders also are prepar-
INC TO start propaganda 70 meet the
fact. lust beginning 10 be recognized
here. that Roosevelt is much stronger
with the labor vote than any other man
that could be put up, even Hughes's
record being regarded as somewhat IN
satisfactory in that respect. SO FAR
they have merely declared that TIT,
labor vote has never stood together and
need no, be considered. but this has
not convinced even themselves, and
they are seeking some new means OF
conciliating this part Of the electorate.

Anticipate Railroad Crisis.

Washington, Aug. 4.-William l..
Chambers, commissioner of the fed
eral board of mediation and concili-
alton, was called in by President Will
son today in connection with the
threatened strike of 100000 employees
of the railroads of the country. The
president is anxious to get all the in
formation possible on the situation, in
order to intervene if a strike seems
inevitable.
The mediation board is gathering
facts in anticipation that the strike
vote now being canvassed will favor
walkout, and that the railroads and
their employees will be unable to reach
on agreement. When this point is
reached the board expects to be called
in to attempt to settle the differ
ences.
The president has referred to the
Department of Labor an appeal from
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States for federal Intervention
The situation is expected to come to
a crisis August 8, when the result
of the strike vote will be announced
and another conference held between
the representatives Of the railroads
and the employees.

BULL MOOSE OPPOSITION
GATHER TO PROTEST

Indianapolis, Aug. 4.-Representa-
tives of the Progressive party from
q sscore Of states met here yesterday
to protest formally against the action
of the Bull Moose national commit
tee in endorsing Charles E. Hughes
for president, in Chicago, July 26,
and to consider the advisability of
calling another convention to fill the
vacancy in it's national ticket caused
by the declination of Theodore Roose-
welt to accept the nomination for pres
ident. The conference was called by
John M. Parker of Louisiana, nomi-
nee of the Progressive party for vice
president.
The Representatives of one element
of the party, led by Judge Albert D.
Nortoni of st. Louis, were outspoken
for the assembling of the Progressive
rational convention at an early date
to nominate candidate for president
to run with Parker. another faction
regarded this plan as impractical and
was prepared to urge issuance of a
call for new convention to complete
the national ticket. Influential Bull
Moose leaders from several states ex-
pressed themselves as opposed to both
these plans, on the ground that they
had no available candidate for presi-
dent and that there was insufficient
time in which to organize for nation
al convention.
All present, however, were unani-
nous that the national committee at
its meeting in Chicago had exceeded
it's authority and violated the party's
principles in indorsing the candidate
Of another political organization for
president.
1t is expected that before the con-
ference adjourns resolutions will be
adopted criticising the national COM
mittee for endorsing Hughes for pres
ident.
The only names mentioned early in
the day for the head of the Bull Moose
ticket were Victor Murdock of Kan
sas, who already has declined the hon.
or, and cambridge Colby of New
York.
Lack of available candidates for
president appears to be one Of the
most potent arguments of the minor
ity against the calling of another con-
vention.

AIRSHIPS ATTACK
BRITISH COAST

London, Aug. 4.-Six German air
ships took part in the raid on the
eastern counties of England yester-
day, according to an official announce
ment, which says that 80 BOMBS are
reported to have been dropped. Nine
horses were killed and three horses
were injured, the statement adds. The
statement follows
Several hostile airships attacked
the eastern and southeastern counties
last night. The first reports were
received about midnight. From these
it seems that not less than six air.
ships were attacking the counties of
Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, more or
less simultaneously. The raid lasted
about an hour and half.
Except at one point, the raiders
did not penetrate very far inland, but
contented themselves with dropping
few bombs at time on widely dis
tant localities, mainly near the sea.
Several bombs are reported to have
fallen into the sea.
"Anti-aircraft guns came into ac-
ton in one locality, but the raider
there attacked made good his re-
treat.
"In conjunction with this attack,
one airship was making for the coast
of Kent. Many observers report that
second airship followed the first.
The number of bombs dropped in this
attack makes the statement appear
quite possible. Anti-aircraft guns
came into action and one if not two,
hits are claimed against the first
raider.
"A total number of 80 bombs have
been accounted for up to date, inclu-
sive of those seen falling into the
sea. The total damage was aston
.ishingly small. Nine horses were
killed and three others injured. The
military object of the raid is not ap-
parent"
London, Aug. 4.-The Zeppelin air.
shin which raided the eastern and
southeastern counties of England yes
terday had a very warm reception
from anti-aircraft guns, according to
observers in the coast towns near
which the airships passed. One OF
them apparently was hit, as on the last
raid. she being seen in badly dam
aged condition and flying low over the
water.
One Zeppelin which crossed Dutch
territory also was fired on by Dutch
gunners, but was not hit.
-Four Zeppelins were observed from
Texel. the largest of the Frisian ISL
ands off the mainland Of North Hol-
land, returning honieward, but ap-
parently more than that number took
part in the raid.

pressed. The trouble Is incurable, and
the treatment, therefore, can only Do
palliative.
The difficulty in breathing increases
when the stomach and bowels are con.
gested with food and water. Both are
to be given only in small quantities az
a time. Green food and cut grass
should be fed at intervals.
The food should always be damp
ened with water. Dusty or burned
hay is to be avoided, as are also
chopped straw and overripe rye grass.
1t is a good plan to mix quarter
Of pint OF linseed oil with each feed.
AS regards medicinal agents, their
action on broken wind can only be
temporary.
Every dealer has his specific for
this disease. Some give the animal a
pound of lard, or any sort of food fat
made into balls, while others give a
quantity of leaden shot Asubcutaneous
injection of morphia many resort to.
These things do no permanent good,
but as the palliative treatment, IL care
fully carried out, is of great benefit to
the poor animal. 1t may be looked
upon as the only treatment for o
broken-winded horse.
