rhe editorial points that the progress
sive vote which will go to Wilson will
not represent merely opposition to Mr..
Hughes.
There are large number of progres.
sives,' it says who strongly believe
in President Wilson We know this
through the protests which have reach
ed US from the readers who are virtu-
ally always in accord with US, but who
do not follow us in condemning the rec.
ord of the Wilson administration, -
Referring to President Wilson, the
editorial continues, Wherever one dips
into the progressive vote strong Will
son sentiment is found. Another omin-
GUS fact is that MIR. Wilson is able to
do things while Mr.. Hughes can only
criticise and promise"
Party Leadership Hateful
"The editorial castigates the repub-
iican in the following strong language:
.'The republican organization and all
its works are hateful to the progress
sives."
In the concluding paragraphs of the
editorial, it is stated "Mr, Hughes
progress thus far is not inspiring TO his
supporters in California - the effect
made by him is positively repressng. "
1t is interesting to note that the New
York Herald, which is supporting Mr..
Hughes, in a two column review of the
political situation published today, re
fers to the republican national campaign
managers as suffering from political
melanchcia.

Philadelphia, Aug. %. - Both in its
news coldmns and editorially the Phla
delphia North American, the leading
prog essiVe newspaper in the east, a
reorganiZed Roosevelt organ, and up to
the present a supporter of Mr.. Hughes,
in today's issue makes the unqualified
statement that the republican candidate
is facing a nation wide progressive re-
volt. Its special dispatch from San
Francisco declares that Chester Rowell.
progressive leader and member of the
republican national campaign commit
tee, has denounced the republican cam
didate for abandoning the progress
sives of California for the old guard
wolves :"
The North American, commenting
upon Mr.. Rowell's denunciation, says:
cit points to an impending progressive
war on the candidate which may easily
react on the situation in every state in
union, especially in the doubtful states.
tie Spilled the Beans
The article emphasizes the declara-
tion of Mr.. Hughes in his San Francis
co speech that he came to California as
spokesman of the national republican
party"
"Mr. Hughes might better have said
nothing at all, :" continues the dispatch,
(Which would have been the wiser
course than to ignore the plans of the
progressives. .
"He has spilled the beans, says the
editorial in the North American upon
the progressive situation, which is head
ed, "The States That Win Decide" 1t
says in part:
"Mr. Hughes letter of acceptance
left much to be desired. In the present
campaign, not even his most ardent ad-
mrers will assert that up to this time
he has convinced the waiting public that
he possesses exceptional strength"
After reviewing the outlook the edi-
torial ads significantly:
One condition, however, is definite
and obvieus-the progressive strength
has not swung over to Hughes, despite
the confident predictions that Colonel
Roosevelt's whole hearted endorsement
would have that result Neither has
decision of progressives to abandon the
party organization for this year pro
duced that effect"

ATTRACTIONS ARE LARGE

The Stanley County Fair opens at
Fort Pierre on Sept. 5, and people
who are disposed to attend are max
ing their arrangements accordingly.
When the fair opens this year it will
be found to be worth while. There
will be something to interest every
person in the county, and f anybody
misses going to the fair they will lose
something. Stanley county claims
one of the best fairs in the state. 1t
is a county pride. and every person is
interested to some extent in its sue
cess. 1t is worthy of liberal patron
age, and from reliable sources it is
indicated that there will be a large
attendance this year.

Is not prevented by the railroads and

basis for settlement of their differ
ences
Both parties are obstinate as to
yielding on the chief point of conten.
ton, aud show no signs of yielding.
The employees continue willing to ac-
cept the presidents first plan, but the
railroad presidents will not give in to
immediate operation Of an eight hour
day.
The railroad executives made
proposition last night, but it was not
acceptable. Their proposal was that
an investigation of all the issues be
conducted by a commission to be
named by the president, ths investi-
cation tolast three or four months,
and no action to be taken by either
side in the meantime, AT the con-
clusion of the inquiry the situation
would remain as now, the employees
having the choice of either arbitrat-
ing or striking.
This proposal was not acceptable
to the brotherhood leaders.
When the railroad brotherhood
heads went to the White House the
president strongly urged the with
drawai of the tentative strike ordered
issued yesterday. subject to release,
and calling for a walkout Of 400, 900
members of the brotherhoods on Labor

THE DEUTSCHLAND AT HOME

The reported safe arrival of the
Deutschland off the mouth of the
Weser viii undoubtedly cause great
rejoicing in Germany and among Ger
man sympathizers in this country.
Probably some who are not partisan
Will applaud this achievement be"
cause OF the successful performance
of a most daring enterprise which has
won the admiration of all for its skill,
When the Deutschland arrived here
the 9th of July there was some dis
position TO hail her accomplishment as
assuring solution of Germany's
blockade problem, but this quickly
appeared to be fallacious, as it be-
came evident that not even with q
large fleet of these submarine mer-
chantmen could Germany appreciably
relieve her economic needs, The
Deutschland left Bremen June %, and
thus was Just two months in making
her round trip. She lay at Baltimore,
however, a much longer period than
was actually necessary, presumably
awaiting the arrival of her sister
ship, the Bremen. She finally depart
ed before the Bremen arrived. In fact,
The Bremen has not reached port, and
there is no knowledge of her present
position lf the Bremen does not
safely land in this country the achieve
ment of the Deutschland in making
the round trip will be materially dis
counted. IT, on the other hand, she
|ceaches American port and returns
safely to Germany these two round
trips will go far to demonstrate th o
practical value of the subm ersible as
cargo boat in time of war, though
be of economic advantage a great
fleet Of these craft would be required.

RESULTS OF fnE STORM.
Damages Property and Causes
Loss of Live In Va, Tenn, & N c.

Eighteen men, fourteen construc-
ton officials and employees of the
Southern railway and four linemen
of the Western Union Telegraph
company. are missing and are either
drowned or marooned in trees on
the Catawba river about twelve
miles from Charlotte, N c. The
river is rising rapidly. The men
were swept into the river Sunday
when the Southern railways main
line bridge was washed away.
Practically all railway traffic in
southwest Virginia and eastern West
Virginia was tied up by washouts
and slides resulting from the heavy
rains of the past week. Many
bridges have been carried away by
swollen creeks and rivers, telephone
and telegraph wires are down and a
heavy crop damage has been report
ed. So far as known there has been
nu loss of life. On tine Norfolk &
Western railway near Radford, Va,
, the junction point for the new river
division, Radford to Bluefield, W Va,
and the Radford division to Bristol,
Tenn, about five miles of trackage is
reported washed away completely
tying up traffic on both divisions.
Upper east Tennessee felt the ef-
fects of the Carolina storm when the
Blue Ridge mountains let loose
floods of waters Sunday that put
streams and rivers on the rampage
as they had not been in 80 years.
Elizabethton and several other towns
were threatened with serious dam
age while various railroads have
suffered severe losses from washouts
and slides that blocked traffic.
