states is sure for Hughes, as is the
 election of two republican United
 States senators to succeed two demo-
 crats. Betting odds here, which run
 from two to two and a half to one
 in favor of Hughes, seem to confirm
 these views
 The lack of harmony among the
 New York democrats is emphasized
 by the sudden pCstponement of the
 meeting of the state committee to
 select candidates for presidential electors. The postponement was so unexpected and was determined so
 hastily that several members of the committee missed their notifications and are unwillingly held in New York oyer the weekend. It develops that one of the seasons for the postpone ment was a difference between Judge Seabury. the nominee for governor anu some of the campaign managers as to the naming of progressives on the electoral ticket
 Judge Seabury is reported to have | been somewhat liberal in promises oi this sort, and to be in difficulty now about making his word good. ] Since he was defeated for the gubernatorial nomination in the pro- gressive primary by governor Whit man, there is strong opposition ir the democratic state committee tC ! recognizing any of his promises tC

when Mir. Pierce appeared.
 Attracted from his study in the par sonage by the negro's screams. he rushed from the house into the midst of the crowd and began his pleadings for the seemingly doomed mans life
 The mob paused in it's work to hear what the minister had to say.
 Men l beseech you in the name of God not to desecrate this holy ground, l" pleaded MT. Pierce. Do not stain the name of our city by going into this terrible affair"
 With voice quivering with emotion and earnestness he demanded that the law be allowed to take it's course. Five minutes the pastor spoke along these lines until one of the mob leaders, turning to his fellows, said
 Men, Mir. Pierce is right Take the negro back to jail and let the law take it's course"
 The mob, sobered by the impassioned words of the pastor, and the assump- ton of leadership taken by one of it's members. led the negro hack to jail
 Nowata was quiet following the cpl sode but quiet was only the lull before a storm.
 Shortly after the dinner hour, Fore man and the negro who had been res cued from the mob in the afternoon. who had given the name of Sunny Powell to the jail authorities, was taken from the iail by another and larger mob of citizens. Foreman was strung up to a lamp post near the court house and Powell was hanged from a tree a few feet distant. The

 The presidents attitude toward the campaign and toward some of the issues before the country were made known here today. It was learned that in his speech at Shadow Lawn tomorrow and in subsequent address es he intends to state definitely why he seeks another term.
 Following is an authoritative state ment of his campaign attitude:
 The president will adhere strictly to his determination not to enter into personalities or into a political controversy with Charles E. Hughes. All the speeches he will make away from Shadow Lawn will be delivered to non partisan organizations and will be devoted entirely to a discussion of public questions. By inference they will have a political effect. His speeches here. however, will be more political in tone. Tomorrow he will tell why he thinks young men should vote the democratic ticket.
 American voters are entitled to know. he believes, what republicans would do in Mexico, what attitude they would take toward belligerent nations in Europe whether they would repeal the federal reserve act, the tariff law, the rural credits act, the tariff commission bill, the eight hour law for railroads, the child labor law and other legislative acts of the democrats.
 Although several days ago officials
Arizona republican., 1916-09-30

here said the president would take occasion to refer frequently to the settlement of the recently threatened railroad strike, it became known to- day that he has since decided not to dwell on this question. The president believes that satisfactory settlements of pending intentional questions can only he embarras ssed by partisan dis cussion of them.
 For this rec son he is not expected to reply directly to the challenge is sued by MT Hughes that he deny or confirm the charge that John Lind went to Mexico with orders to oust
 General Huerta. On this subject MT Wilson takes the position that Huerta was busted. and that the democratic administration busted him consist ently.
 In connection with international questions, an authorative denial was
 issued today to statements that James i w. Gerard, is coming here to discuss
 reports that Germany is about to re-
 new submarine attacks on merchant vessels. It was said here that Mir Gerard was returning to the United States only because he greatly need ed a rest.
 The president received word today that John NJ. Parker. progressive
 candidate for vice president plans to
 make speeches in opposition to MT. Hughes, At first, administration of ficials said the president himself had
 heard from MT Parker, but later it
 was stated that this was a mistake,
 and that a letter announcing his in- { teAtion had been sent by MT Parker to Bainbridge Colby, of New York.

FOOTBALL IN
 NORTHWEST
Three of Six Major Schools Have Games Today; In terest in Sport More Keen Than for Years; Club Teams Will Play
Republican A. p. Leased wlre1

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 29.-With every university keenly interested in the initial performance of other teams the 1916 football season will open to- morrow in the northwest. Three of the SIX universities of major importance in footballdom have games scheduled.
 The Oregon Agricultural College will meet the Multnomah Club, of Portland, at Corvallis the University of Wash ington will play the Ballard Meteors al Seattle. and the University of Idaho will test it's strength against Gonzaga University at Moscow, Ida
 Of the three games, the contest al Corvallis Is attracting the principal at tention as the Multnomah club always holds its own with the best of the col lege teams. Washington does not ex- pect to have much difficulty in dispos- ing of the Meteors and Idaho is confi- dent of defeating the GonZaga eleven.
 preliminary survey of the strength of the various football squads indicates that the fight for first honors this sea = son will be three cornered with Wash ington State College, the University oi Washington and the University of Ore gon as the cOntenders. Prospects al Washington state were never brighter as virtually the same undefeated team that played last year has come out with it's war paint again under the leadership of Coach Indian" DietZ. Washington State and Washington University do not meet this season, SC | if the former is to be defeated the Ore gon Aggies or Oregon University must perform the feat The Oregon Aggies who startled the east last year by swamping the Michigan Aggies, do not look so good this season because oi | the loss of all their veterans with the exception of Captain Herman J. Abra- | ham, one of the best backs in the | United States. However, the support CTS of the team are hoping that Coacf | Joseph A. Pipal, who had charge o | the Occidental College Squad last sea son, will be able to turn out winninf 1 team this season. But the fact tha' | they will meet Washington State earl' in the season, October IA, will Dc against them.
 The renewal of football relations be tween Oregon and Washington Univer sities should give the gridiron game { | decided impetus, particularly at Ore gon, because the game this fall will b' played in Eugene for the first time II many years. While Coach Dobie, o Washington has large supply of tai ent with which to recoup the losses O
 several of his mainstays of last season | the advantage seems to rest with Ore
 gon, which retains all of it's best vet
 eran players.
 Northwestern college elevens hav' several big games scheduled witt teams from other states. These are
 Washington vs California; Oregoi
 Aggies vs Nebraska and Oregon Az
 gies vs Southern California.

 BY OATMAN|TES
Especial to The Republican,

OATMAN, Sept. 29-Former Gov ernor J. H. Kibbey, republican candi- date for United States senator, told more than 700 people tonight that re- publican president would not have sent the American troops to Vera Cruz when President Wilson ordered them there.
 However" he declared, had it been necessary to have sent our soldiers to the Mexican city they would not have stopped until the capital of Mexico had been captured and the safety of Amer ican lives and property had been as- sured"
 The 800 miners who were in the audience cheered this assertion for many minutes most vociferously. In fact nearly everyone in the audience cheered the statement
 Judge Kibbey promised the workers that he would strive for a protective tariff that would protect American laborers from cheap European products after the great war was over. For this pledge more than 200 miners shook Governor Kibbeys hand after the meet ing and pledged their support to him. Joe V. Prochaska, Gila county'S can didate for secretary of state, tonight 1 delivered the best speech he has made ! during the campaign. He told the miners of the labor organizations he has aided in starting and of his efforts | during the past twenty years in their | behalf. Joe knows more men here in the district than any other candidate | Hundreds of the miners know him from Miami, his home town.

Special to The Republican,

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Chairman Wilcox and all members of the re- publican national and campaign com mitteas here are gratified at the out come of the New York republican state convention, the results, in their opinion practically making the state certain for the republican national, state and congressional ticket. The convention completed the process of harmonizing progressives and regu- lars by an equitable division of places in the electoral ticket. It gave Gov ernor Hughes an ovation which in enthusiasm equalled, if it did not surpass, the many enthusiastic meet
 ings of his campaign tour and gave
 him an opportunity to demolish the attack made upon him by EX Secre-
 tary of State Olney.
 The republicans and progressives of the state are united in their sup pert of the candidates on the na- tional ticket, the governor and the United States senator. The demo- | crats, on the other hand, are not harmonious on either their national
 or senatorial tickets. Tammany is luke warm, if not hostile towards M'Combs for the senate. These conditions in New York are parallalled in New | Jersey, and in the opinion of the re- | publican managers, the vote of botf

 ''The lull in submarine warfare is due to a shortage in submarines. The only change I note is that no British pas senger liner has been sunk since the Sussex.
 "The number of submarine victims has been increasing steadily in the last three months and our allies and neut- rals have suffered virtually as much as we have"
 After the speech of the German inn nerial chancellor in the reichstag on Thursday, says Reuter- dispatch from Amsterdam, George Ledebour, leader oi the socialist minority, strongly urged an immediate discussion of his utter ances.
 The motion, however. was rejected
 Herr Ledebour, the dispatch adds protested that delay would cause the policy of the government to be judged still more unfavorably by the public and would give the impression that the chancellor's words had been dictated by embarrassment and that he hac been unable to say what was necessary
