I hereby announce that I amaj] candidate for the Republican nomi- nation for representative from this district, comprising Beltrami, Clearwater and Red Lake coun- ties, 1 believe I fully appreciate the mmportance and responsibility of this office. I have lived in the northern part of Minnesota for the last thirty years, and am familiar with the needs of the district. The present undevel- oped condition of the northern part of Minnesota is a shame on| the part of our legislature, inas- much, as, it is the cause of Ameri. | can people settiing up the Domin- ion of Canada to the prejudice of our own country, which is more than equally as good in soil, rainfall and climate and nearer to markets. The first step toward develop- ment, I think is roads. The "HENRY FUNKLEY, Repnblicén Gandidate, for Nomina_tion for S,ta’te Legis- lature, Sixty-First District. 2 principal part of the road work should be done by the state be-| cause it is the party substantially benefitted. Little dabs of three or four hundred dollars per town- ship per annum isof no avail in the work that the state should do in the matter of the develop- ment of its principal part—north- ern Minnesota. Uppermost and above all, if I am elected,. I will in season and out of season, vote and strive for substantial state aid for roads. And I believe I fully realize the fight I am up against in that the representation from the northern part is meager compared with the representation from the other parts of the state. But the whole legislature must be made to see that the state roads are a substan- tial benefit to the whole state, I earnestly solicit your support. Respectfully, Henty Funkley. AFTER LIVELY DEBATE. Chicago Federation of Labor Endorses Democratic Ticket. Chicago, Aug. 18.—The Chicago Federation of Labor placed its seal of approval on the political policy of President Gompers and the executive council of the national labor body. Before this was done, however, Pres- ident Gompers and his political pro- gramme weré subjected to a series of | sever jolts, indicating that labor is by no means united on the proposition of supporting Bryan and the Democratic ticket. The fiercest onslaughts against the Gompers-Bryan programme were made | denly downward by a current of air by the “socialist delegates, who, up that time, had kept strictly aloof from participation in the federation’s polit- ical affairs. Other delegates also spoke against following Gompers’ po- litical plans, notably John Flora of the Carpenters’ union, who was in- structed by his local union to vote against endorsing the Democratic ticket.

There is no ‘need of exaggeration in describing the Minnesota state fair. It is a credit to the North Star state that it should have the best state fair in the country, and this fact is generally conceded. But one other agricultural fair in America even approaches it, and that is the Toroato show, which it is necessary to assign to second place. The fair is truly representative of the whole state, of all'its people, of all its industries and of all its It has always been that, bt this year, under the initiative of C. N. Cosgrove and his assistasts, it will be a bigger and more entertain- ing exhibit than it has ever been before.

Captain Hains and Brother Appear in Court. New York, Aug. 18.—Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr,, U. 8. A., who shot and killed ' William E. Annis on Saturday at the- Bayside Yacht club, was ar- raigned in the First district court in T.ong Island City before Magistrate Matthew J. Smith. . Arraigned with the captain was his brother, T. Jen- kins Hains, who kept back the crowd ‘with a revolver while his brother car- ried out his vengeance on the man ‘who, he asserted, had ruined his home. In court the brothers showed little concern over their predicament. As counsel for the men had not arrived the hearing was postponed and in the meantime the Hains brothers are be- ing kept in the Queens county jail. T. Jenkins Hains, who was first held on a charge of attempted felonious assault, was later charged with being exception to the rule. It deserves popular support, but state pride alone would not provide 1t; its sup- port comes because it is worth patronizing, and because it-is not only instructive but vastly enter- taining.

NEGROES LEAVE THE CITY Estimated That Fifteen Hundred Col- ored Residents Have Hastily De- parted, Some of Them Never to Re- turn—Four Hundred Others Seek 8helter in the Arsenal, Where They Are Closely Guarded by the Militia. Springfield, IIl, Aug. 18.—The race war which began here last Friday night is believed to be a thing of the past. Sporadic cases of disorderly conduct may and probably will claim the attention of the militia, but it is not anticipated that the troops will be confronted by any serious task. Troops A, C, D, F and I of the First cavalry have arrived from Chicago_on a special train. They brought with them 160 horses and full camp equip- ment. The troops 4nd wagons are what Adjutant General Scott calls his “Shafter cavalry.” It is declared sol- diers in sufficient numbers to handle any situation can be rushed to any part of the city in time to prevent serious damage to property. Bpringfield has entered upon the second stage of riot history—the in- vestigation of outrages and the arrest of the guilty. A special grand jury was summoned by Judge James A, Creighton of the Sangamon county aircuit cowt as the result of a con- ference between Governor Charles 8. Deneen and State Attorney Frank Hatch. Both of these officials were of the eopinion that this step should be taken : The grand jury will be held in ses- slon eo long as the mob violence is threatened. Evidence will bs submit- ted to the body from dey to day by officers and soldiers and isadictments returned as soon as a case is made against an individual. Evidence Implicates Many. A large amount of evidence impli- cating many citizens of this city has been obtained during the rioting and this will be submitted to the grand Jury. Suspects have been arrested each day during the reign of terror and will be held awaiting the delib- erations of the official body. The confidence of General Young that his force is sufficient to render abortive any attempt at mob violence is fully shared by the negroes. Many more of them from the residence dis- tricts of the city came to the arsenal, swelling the number now being shel- tered by the state to 400. None of them have left the place since they entered.’ It is feared that their very Qpresence would incite a riot and they our friends and neighbors who so|" an accessory to the killing of Annis. Before the arraignment Harvey G. Rockwell, who had been a close friend of William Annis, the slain man, turned over to the distriet attorney of Queens county a package of letters received recently by Annis, in which he was warned that his life was in danger. It was said that the last let- ter he received cautioned him against visiting the Bayside Yacht club on Saturday. Attempts to Wipe Out Family. Poughkeepsie, N.

SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE Mr. Sherman - Declares He Is in Full Accord With' His Party’s Platform and Endorses Every Statement Made by William H. Taft in His Address When Notified of His Nom- i, Ination for President. 2 ) Utles, N. Y., Aug. 18—James §. @herman, the Republican neminee for vioe president, today formally was mnotified of his nomination for that iposition by the niational convention at Chicagy., Benator Julius C. Burrows of Mioligan, chairman of the commit- tee, made the notification speech, to whick Mr. Sherman responded With ‘hh speech of acceptance, as follows: Senator Burrows and Gentlemen of the Notification Committee: Your chairman, speaking for the cemmittee, has notified me of my nomination by the Republican nation- 'al convention held in Chicago in June as the candidate’s party for vice pres- ident. As I chanced to be in Chicago in June Ijhad am inkling of the con- vention's action, which was confirmed by a warm hearted reception tendered me by my meighbbrs on the occasion of my homecomimg on July 2. This offioial netification, however, iz wel- come and the momination you tendes me is accepted—accepted with a gratl JAMES 8. SHERMAN. tude commensurate with the great honor conferred; ‘accepted with a full appreciation of the obligations which accompany that honor, an honor great- er because my name is linked with that of Willilam H.- Taft, whom I re- spect and esteem highly and who ap- proaches the high office of president exceptionally . well equipped to dis- charge the duties and bear the varied amd weighty responsibilities of that exalted . position. My acceptance could not be made with honor unless I were in full accord with the declara- tion of principles adopted by the con- vention. Not only am I in full and complete accord with my party’s plat- form, but I endorse every statement made by Mr. Taft in his address of acceptance when notified of his nom- E:t n as the Republican candidate ‘esident. That gpeech fully and eomprehen- slvely discusses the {issues of this oarpaign as presentéd by the plat- orfas of the two great partles, so that it 18 appfopriate that my statement should be short. Those not convinced by the presentation of Mr. Taft 1 gould mot hope to persuade. It is, owever, in ‘conformity with custom that I refer at least briefly to some of the impor'tant issues of the campaign. Protection Aid to Prosperity. First, then, let me say that I am a otgctionist. I am sufficiently prac- to value the utility of a fact gr then the beanuty of a theory I am a protectionist because ex- lenge has demonstrated that the Phlication 0f that principle has Iift- ed ys as a nation to a plane of pros- Lfiv above that occupled by any er people. I espectally commend that plank of owr platform which promises an early ré¥ision of tariff schedules. That pledge will be fulfilled n an adjust- ment based in every particular upon the broad principles of protection for all American interssts, alike for labor, for capital, for producers and con- sumers. The Dingley bill when en- acted was well adapted to the then existing conditions. The developments of industrial prosperity in. a decade, ‘which in volume and degree have sur- passed our most roseate expectations, ve 50 altered conditions that in cer- details of schedules they no long- ‘er in every particular mete out jus- tice to all. In this readjustment the principle of protection must and will govern. The Republican party believes in the equality of all men before the law; believes in granting labor’s every re- quest that does not.seek to accord rights to one man denied to another. “|:Fair minded labor asks no more, no less, and approves the-record of the Republican party because of that par- ty's acta. ¢ < 1 have helped to make my party’s rocord in the enactment of the eight- hour law, the employers’ lability act, the statutes to minimize the hazard of railroad employes, the child labor law for the District of Columbia and other enactments designed especially to improve the. conditions of labor. I cannot hope to better state my posi- tion on' injunctions than by a specific | endorsement of Mr. Taft’s Cincinnati declaration at subject. That en- | course of events. that can never be _ourselves as result of a reversed they are a part of our civ- {lization; their prosperity is our pros- perity; their debasement would be our misfortune, The Republican party, therefore, will offer eyery encourage- ment to the thrift, industry and intel- ligence that will better their prospect of higher attainment. g Favors an Enlarged Navy. 1 believe in the maintenance of such an army, the upbuilding of such a navy as will be the guarantee of the protectien of American citizens and| Ameriean interests everywhere and an omen of peace; that at every ex- posed point we may be so fortified that no power on earth may be tempt- ed to molest us. I believe in the restoration of the American merchant maerine and in rendering whatever financial aid may be necessary to ac- complish this purpose. 1 approve the movement for the conservation of our natural resources, the fostering of friendly foreign rela- tions, the enforcement of our civil rvice law and the enactment of such statutes as will more securely and more effectively preserve the public health. Our platform, as it should do, Dledges adherence to the policies of President Roosevelt; promises to con- tinue the work inaugurated during his administration to insure to persons and property every proper safeguard and all necessary strengthening of ad- ministrative methods will be provided to furnish efficient inspection and su- pervision and prompt righting of ev- ery injustice, discrimination and ‘wrong. 3 I have not touched upon every plank of our splendid platform, but I reiter- ate my full and unqualified approval of its every promise. The work that has been given the Republican party to do has been of immense importance. Much of that work has been fully accomplished; some has yet to be completed. Repub- lican declarations once in our platform and no longer there are omitted be- cause they have become accomplished facts. On the other hand, Democratic declarations have been abandoned be- cause the voters have pronounced them to be unwise and unsafe and unsuited to our times and our couatry. Declares the People Do Rule. “Shall the people rule?” is declared by the Democratic platform and can- didate to be “the overshadowing issue * * * now under discussion.” It is no issue. Surely the people shall rule; surely the people have ruled; surely the people do rule. No party rules. The party, comimissioned by the peo- ple, is simply the instrument to exe- cute the people’s will and from that party which does not obey their ex- pressed will or which lacks the wis- dom to lead successfully the people will withdraw their commission. For half a century, with but two ex- ceptions, the people have commis- sioned the Republican party to ad- minister tbe national government— commissioned it because its declared principles appealed to their best judg- ment, commissioned it because the common sense of the American peo- ple scented danger in Demoeratic pol- fcies. Ours always has been, always must be, a government of the people. That party will after March 4 next exeoute old laws and enact new ones as in November it is commissioned by the people to do. That commission will be from an untrammeled Amer- loap electorate. Shame on the party ‘whieh, shame on the candidate who, imsults the American people by sug- gestion or declaration that a majority of its electorate is venal. The Amer- ican voter, with rare exception, in casting his ballot is guided by his best judgment, by his desire to con- serve his own and the public weal. The overshadowing issue of the gampaign really is: Shall the admin- istration of President Roosevelt be approved? Shall a party of demon- strated capacity in administrative af- fairs be ccntinued in power? Shall the reins <f government be placed in experienced hands, or do the people prefer to trust their destinies to an aggregation of experimental malcon- tents and theorists, whose only claim %0 a history is a party name they pil- fered? ‘With a record of four decades of wise legislation, two score years of faithful administration, offering its fulfilled pledges as a guaranty of its promises for the future, the Repub- lican party appeals to the people and, with full confidence in their wisdom and patriotism, awaits the rendition of the November verdict. CARRYING HIS SEVERED ARM Youth Walks Several Blocks After Be- ing Run Down by Train. Chicago, Aug, 18.—A remarkable ex- hibition of grit and nerve was wit- nessed when George Nagle, twenty- two years of age, carrying his left arm, which had been severed by a Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul train, staggered up to a policeman and then fainted after telling his story. Nagle had carried the grewsome bundle of mangled flesh for two blocks in an eftort to find a physician’s office. He had ittcmpted ‘to-board a passing #reight train, but had’slipped on the t rungs of the ladder and fallen be- th the trucks. He was taken to a hospital. Steamer Struck by Lightning.
