Whitman Seabury and
Senatorial Contests OF
Chief Interest.
ROOSEVELT URGES
SUPPORT OF BACON
Colonel Says Calder Op-
position to Universal
Training Forces Action.

The contestants in the primaries TO-
day for nominations by the various
parties assembled their last reinforce
ments yesterday. With clear weather
an unusually large vote is expected IN
this city and throughout the state.
The contest between Governor "hit-
man and Samuel Seabury, the Demo-
cratic nominee, for the nomination 1or
Governor in the Progressive primaries
and that between william NJ. Calder
and Robert Bacon for the nomination
for United States Senator in the RepuD-
lican primaries will hold the centre OF
interest. but there are sufficient minor
contests to add to the excitement Oh
the day.
Governor Whitman declared late re-
ports from his leutenants encouraged
him to believe he would defeat Judge
Seaburv for the Bull Moose indorse-
ment. The Governor spent the day con-
ferring with rlominent Progressive
leaders. including George W. Perkins,
William II. Hotchkiss and Walter john
son.
Count on Roosevelt Influence.
The Whitman forces count on the re-
recent statement by Colonel Roosevelt
against Judge Seabury and the posi-
bilitv Of getting out large Progressive
vote upstate TO pull the Governor
through. 1t is not expected, however,
that more than $4,000 to 10000 OF the
46 900 enrolled Progressiyes will so to
the polls.
The Seabury forces declared they
were certain to run away with the FRO
gressive nomination with two-thirds OF
the vote cast. Judge Seabury said he
was well satisfied with the Progressive
situation throughout the state and ex-
pected TO win handily.
Edwin ". Harris, chairman OF the
Democratic State Committee, and otner
members of the campaign committee
which will run Judge Seabury's cam
paign for Governor declared they had
paid little attention to the Progressive
primaries, as they expected Judge Sea-
bury would get the nomination with
out much effort. Nr. Harris announced
the state campaign committee would
meet tomorrow at the state committee

Special Sets Pace for the
Empire State Express
Going to Albany.
CANDIDATE GETS
OVATION AT CAPITAL
Delivers First Address in
Peoria To-day to Illinois
Convention.

rF,on , SIAN Correspondent OF The Tribune
Bufrslo. Sept. 18.-An idea of the ter
rife pace which Charles +. Hughes has
set for the wind-up OF his campaign
may be obtained from the schedule on
which his special is making the first
leg of his second Western drive.
The special to-day beat the fastest
running time between New York. and
Albany by five minutes, acting as pace
maker for the Empire State Express all
the way and leaving it far behind. Co
ing into Barrytown the train was run
ming at the rate of six miles in four
minutes.
A stop of only . few minutes was
scheduled at Albany, and Mr.. Hughes
had not planned to leave the train. but
Mayor John w. Stevens was on hand to
greet him, and large crowd Of citizens,
including trainmen and yardmen, surged
around the depot, clamoring to shake
the candidates hand.
Using WILSON'S Gar.
Mr.. Hughes is travelling in the pri-
yate car National" which took Presi-
dent Wilson through large part of his
Presidential campaigning four years
ago. and it was not designed for re-
ception hall. Accordingly, Mr.. Hughes
was compelled TO step down to the sta
ton platform and shake some 300 hands
before the special started again on It's
record breaking trip.
Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio and
PENNSYLVANIA will be given chance TO
hear the Republican party's standard
bearer before the campaign winds up.
The train is due in Peoria, H., at 9:3O
tomorrow morning. and Mr.. Hughes is
scheduled to address the UNOFFICIAL I'LL
nois State Republican convention an
hour later. the convention recessing
from its platform building to hear him
speak. l.,
He leaves Peoria at noon and IS due
in Springfield at 2:l5 o'clock. Late IN
the afternoon he will visit the State
Fair and sneak az the fair grounds, and
will deliver another broadside IN the
Leland Theatre in the evening.

For Conserving Heat In Pipes.

An excellent covering for steam
pipes may be made from materials
that are always available. Take some
fine sawdust and screen it through a
sieve to remove any foreign bodies
Prepare a thin paste of flour and wa
ter and mix the sawdust thoroughly
with this paste With small trowel
the mixture SO prepared should be ap
piled in about five coats to the steam
pipes while they are slightly warm.
Each coat should be thoroughly dry
before the next is applied. If the
steam pipes are in an exposed situa-
ton three or four coats of coal tar
should be applied after the paste has
dried. If inside building this water
proofng is unnecessary. Steam pipes
treated with the sawdust as above
lose very little heat.-Popular Science

Servants In Germany

How the servant question is handled
In Germany is told in George Stuart
Fullerton's book, Germany of Today"
''In Bavaria, if l wish to get rid of
a servant. l must give her notice on
or before the 18th of the month, the
notice to take effect on the first of the
month following. | must allow the
servant in the two weeks intervening a
certain number of outings to look for
another place. If l delay my notice
until the 10th | must tolerate the un-
welcome domestic for six weeks longer.
Should prefer to get rid of her at any
price | must pay her, not merely her
wages, but also sum to cover her
board and lodging up to the legal date.
Such legal provisions may easily be an
annoyance to the employer. 1t is not
all employees who seem to deserve sc
much consideration. But it is surely
better that the well to do should suf-
fer some Inconvenience than those who
have their daily bread to earn should
run the risk of being brought to dis
trcSS."

ing shaded tobacco is reported, and on
the east side of the river a dozen or
more of large sheds were blown down.
The storm was of unusually wide
sweep, and all in all, at least 1000
acres of tobacco were damaged. In
many instances the damage was slight
and will be largely outgrown. In 9TH
ers the impress will be, noticeable
throughout the season. In few cases
the loss is total and crops will be plow-
ed under.
Windsor and Suffield suffered the
greatest loss In Windsor the growers
stand to lose 500, 900, less deductions

loss will be from 100000 to $75, 0OO
Damage in other districts is sufficient
to make the estimate of aggregate
damage Of 5000, 900 conservative.
Sheds were blown over in East Wind

tives of the hail insurance companies.
In Suffield 125 claims were filed within

THE. Chicago Tribune in com

The Chicago Tribune in commenting
upon the speech of our senior senator
on the Mexican policy bill up for de-
bate, says: Senator La Follette's in
fatuation for the administrations Mex
lean policy reveals the senator's mind
in almost as great state of disorder
as is Mexico. LaFollette can consider
Mexico only as the victim of adventur-
Gus and piratical capital. He sees
nothing in the issue but the wicked in
trigue of special interests to exploit a
country and despoil it's people. The
American people will resent the idea
that neighboring country is threat
ened by the rapacious designs of big
money and that American soldiers are
to lose their lives in serving the pur-
poses of big money. LaFollette evil
IDENTIFY has reached soured intellectual
state. 1t frequently happens that a
man who has fought bitterly against
dominating special interests becomes
untrus tworthy. His mind ceases to be
mobile. 1t becomes fixed. 1t finds one

Free Blood Examinations.

The Psychiatric Clinic under the aus
pices of the State Board of Control has
provided for free blood examinations
and thereby offered to the physicians
and to the public of the state an oppor-
tunity of heading off a considerable
amount of insanity. Blood tests have
been perfected in recent years by which
positive information is given of the ex-
istence of conditions in the human body
which. if untreated, will inevitably
lead, in fair proportion of cases, to
incurable insanity and in others to in
durable diseases of the nervous system.
Discovered early enough, however,
these conditions can be removed by ap-
propriate treatment and the consequent
mental or nervous disease prevented.
Nor is the value of these blood ex-
aminations confined to mental and ner-
vous conditions. Be- utilizing them the
health of the public will be advanced in
many ways. Their evidence is of great
assistance in diagnosis of obscure dis
orders and occasionally it will be found
that patients suspected of having tu-
berculosis or cancer are not suffering
from either but from another disease
requiring entirely different treatment.
Even in heart disease great gain may
be expected from the utilization of this
publicly supported laboratory. 1t is
generally conceded that the number of
premature deaths from heart disease is
on the increase and authorities hold
that more attention must be given to
the prevention of heart degeneration If
people are to secure the maximum at
tainable length of life and their full
measure of health. 1t is quite possible
in many instances to detect and check
the degenerative tendency long before
irreparable harm has been done. Old
age debility and especially premature
senility could frequently be postponed
many years were the patient fore
warned and forearmed against tenden-
cies discoverable by blood examina-
lions. 1t is to our own personal inter-
est. therefore, to use this state labora-
tory which we, the people, own-to use
it as freely as we do the public schools,
libraries, streets and other common
property.
Further information on this subject
will be furnished on request sent te
this bureau.

The Tribune at Mineral Point for
some years has bitterly assailed the
Government Bank Receiver and GER
tain Trust Company for the manner in
which they handled the affairs of the
defunct Mineral Point Bank. Now if
The Tribune was really sincere, why
did it not take the matter up with our
u. S. Senator at Washington? Imag-
inc what would have happened if John
c.. Spooner was Senator and complaint
was made to him that certain matters
were not properly handled by the Gov
eminent in closing up the affairs of this
bank You know and we know that
Senator Spooner would have raised
he'll and would have obtained relief
at once. There would have been a
Congressional investigation and all red
tape would have been brushed aside.
Goods patient poor" have been pa
tient and at the same time Senator La
Toilette instead of being at his desk at
Washington looking after the peoples
interests, has for months at time
been back in Wisconsin chasing up and
down the state denouncing Governor
Phillip and everyone else who had in
dependence enough to think for him
self. AS to the Trust Company that
came under the wrath of Brother Ben
nett, from the report of the State
Banking Commissioner it appears that
Robert MI. LaFollette was stockhold-
er and one of the owners of this con-
Germ during the very period that the
Allen matter was in litigation. (See
Vol. Is, page SIT, Rep. Com. of. Bank
ing.) We wonder what The Tribune
would have had to say if Gov. Philip
held the stock instead of Senator La
Toilette? -Dodgeville Chronicle.
