St. Paul, Sept. 17.—Though full re- turns are not in they leave no doubt and -Eighth ocongressional districts, where James A. Tawney, J. T. Mc- Cleary and Clarence Miller were nom- Inated for congress. Miller gets away with a big lead over Bede, it amounting to mnearly three to one in some counties, while MecCleary in the Second is credited with a vote in some districts almost double that of Gutterson and Ewert combined. The fight for the Repub- lican nomination in all three districts was exceedingly warm. In the others the present Republican incumbents are renominated, the opposition to them being trifling. In some of the distriets there was no opposition. Tawney lands again in the First dis- trict, but his majority over Knatvold wiil be considerably thinned as against previous years. He was hard pressed by the Albert Lea man in some of the counties. Haynes was renominated by the Dem- ocrats. Charles H. Huhn secured the Republican nomination. RECENT ORDER IN EFFECT Light” District.

Dem- ocratic Convention, - BUT ONE CLASH OCCURS Slate Agreed on by Leaders Goes Through by Acclamation Until the Last Office Is Reached, When Sen- ator McCarren Makes an Unsuccess- ful Effort to 'Prevent the Selection of an Enemy. Rochester, N. Y. Sept. 17.—Nom- inating all but one of its candidates by acclamation and adopting a plat- form which arraigns the administra- | fion of Govermor Hughes and pledges earnest support to the Denver plat- form and candidates the Democratic state convention nominated ae the head of its ticket for governor the present lieutenant governor of the state, Lewis S. Chanler of Dutchess county. The ticket decided upon by the leaders, with” one exception, #eemed to meet the approval of all the LEWIS 8. CHANLER. delegates and the nominations were mede with great enthusiasm until the office of state engineer and surveyor 1 was reached. The conference candi- date for this office was Philip P. Far- ley of Brooklyn, an anti-McCarren man. Senator McCarren, amid the ehieers of his supporters, took the plat- form “to resent an insult.” He declared the nomination of Far- ley was agreed to without any regard r.| to the Kings county delegation and - | was intended to embarrass them. He declared he would always support Democratic nominees, but would not hold himself responsible for the ac- ticn of people who felt themselves in- sulted. Farley won on a roll call, but a motion to make the nomination unanimous was lost by two or three scattering negatives. The complete ticket follows: Democratic State Ticket. Governor—Lewis Stuyvesant Chan- ler of Dutchess. Lieutenant Governor—John A. Dix of Washington. Secretary of State—John . Whalen of Monroe. Comptroller—Martin H. Glynn of Albany. Attorney General—George M. Palm- er of Schoharie. Treasurer—Julius Hauser of Suf- folk. State Engineer and Surveyor— Philip P. Farley of Kings. The platform adopted by the con- endion gontains “the following criti- sum nl t\e administration of Governor "fhc promises of reform upon which the present governor was elected have not heen. kept. We point as vgof of this fact to the expenditures 1907, which are larger than the ex- !nvn.gant sums expended under the predecessors of Governor Hughes. We charge him with the responsibility for this waste and with giving his time jend attention to the pursuit of spec- tacular methods and self-advertising sues rather than to the work of re- form and retrenchment, upon the promise of which he was elected gov- ernor two years ago. We imsist that o this most important featuré of his | sdmintstration he has been derelict a8d remiss. Instead of cuting off the taxeaters from the list of officehold- ers he has caused new ones to be add- ed to it and in the two public service commissions, which have been brought jInto existence at his suggestion and dictation, he has created officeholders ‘who have woefu]ly failed to better the condition of affairs confided to their charge. “The dictation of the nomination sf his successor and of the nominee for governor of the state by the present federal chief executive we resent as a dangerous precedent.” Wisconsin Bank Closed. Madison, Wis., Sept. 17.—The Un fon State bank of Winneconne, cap italized at $10,000, has been closed by corders of the state banking depart- ment and Examiners Milo C. Hagen and Thomas Herreid have taken charge of the institution and are checking up its accounts. Overloan. ing is said to be the cause of the fail- wre. GONNEGTIGUT DEMOCRATS A. Heaton Robertaon Nominated for Governor. Hartford, Conn., Sept. 17.—Connec- ticut Democrats in state convention nominated Judge A. Heaton Robertson of New Haven for governor and adopt- ed a platform which makes the candi- dacy on the Republican ticket of George L. Lilley a leading issue of the campaign, i The platform, which was adopted by *_Jising ,:(Qg, _endorses the nomlna— flons of Wifllam Jennlngs Bryam John W. Kern for president and vice president, respectively, and also the declaration of prlnclplos adopted at the Demecratic national eonvention. It then continues: litical machine, which for yearg has controlled the Republican p: of Connecticut, has produced a condition in our state which is a matter of grave concern to all good citizens. So lost to all sense of political propriety and oivic decency has the Republican ma- chine become that it has forced upon a reluctant party the nomination of George L. Lilley. Mr. Lilley’s public record while in congress was such that he received the emphatic condemna- tion of that body. ° “We preclaim that the repudiation of George L. Lilley, the destruction of machine politics and the rescue of our state from the hands of the political pirates who have sefzed control of its management is the supreme and over- shadowing issue of this campaign.” T0 ELABORATE DRAFT OF UNIVERSAL TREATY Powers Invited fo Meet at The Hague in 1908, The Hague, Sept. 17.—At the re quest of Germany and Italy Holland is to invite the powers represented at the second Hague peace conference to participate in a further conference at The Hague, probably in 1909, for the elaboration of a draft of a universal treaty.

SWEEPING INTO CANADA. Forest Fires Seem Destined to Cross the Border. Winnipeg, Man,, Sept. 17.—Forest fires south of Fort Framces, Omt., in the United States, are sweeping to- wards Canada. Several large islands in Rainy lake are in flames. There are grave fears that the fire may spread to Hunters island, Mamakan lake, and if so several million dollars’ worth of pine will be destroyed. The continued hot, dry weather, with strong winds, adds greatly to the danger. Unless the flames are checked in Northern Minnesota they will sweep across the border. Fires are still smouldering around Fort William and smoke is so thick that it is trying to the eyes. Many. farmers are en the eve of abandoning their homes.

Appeals for the Support of the Com- mon People. i Ravenna, N. Y., Sept. 17.—Carrying his campaign into the Empire state William J. Bryan, in several speeches on the way to Rochester, explained the differences in the platforms of the Democratic and Republican parties and severely arraigned both Mr. Taft! and President Roosevelt. His first re- marks were made at Cornwall, where he spoke for two minutes. At New- burgh, the home of ex-Governor Odell, he denounced the Republican platform and declared he could call Mr. Taft as a witness against it. To a great crowd at Kingston the Democratic candidate warned his Learers not to allow the Republican leaders to scare them away from the support of the Democratic ticket by the threats of a panic. He referred to| Taft as “Mr. Roosevelt's appointee” | and said that the president’s endorse- ment of Mr. Taft “is the endorsement of a political bankrupt against whom you cannot collect even if you tried, for on the subject of panics he has one to defend, and if Mr. Roosevelt eould not prevent a panic last fall ‘what assurances have you that his ap-{ pointee can prevent one next fall?” The Democratic candidate declared | that there was nothing in the Demo- cratic platform or any Democratic pol- | feles that menaced legitimate busi- ness, that need make any honest man fear. “Our desire is,” he said, “to restore a porn prosperity and a universal prosp ¥ The Democratic party, he said, could appeal for the support of the people because its polizies were for the people’s protection. “If we » said he, “it will be a victory for llle plain people of this country, who ask nothing at the hands of the govern- ment but j ard who ought to be satisfied with noikizy less than jus tice.” TAFT'S WESTER: Thir.
