', We Are Privileged to Announce That the Story Will Be} Run in This Paper in Serial Form b THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1512 OF RE-ELECTION Convincing Indications That the Republican Party is Still Dominant When - President Taft was visiting his brother in New York a few days ago the newspaper reporters called apon him. After a pleasant chat the President made a formal statement of his views on the political situation: “When I declared, a few weeks ago, that I felt reasonably sure of my own re-eledtion in Navember, and the suc cess of the Republican Party, I was regarded by some, as entirely over sanguine, and uwnaware of the situa tion. Today, however, afier a number of indications that the Republican Party is stiii the dominant party, and that the expected growth of Democra .ic strength has failed to materialize, my early declaration is shown to be antitled to respect. The Republi cans necessarily will have a reduced majority over 1908 because of the presence of three tickets in the field, put the Democratic party will suffer, also. The combined strength of the Third Term party will not be enough to change the ultimate result. “Five or six weeks ago it was as serted generally that the Republican Party would secure the vote of the Solid East, including all of the New Zngland States, with the excepticn of Maine and Vermont that the Democra tic Party would maintain its hold on the Solid South, and that the 'Third Term party wculd secure the Solid West, leaving only the Middle West as debatable ground. Today, with the election still one month away, the Re publican Party finds itself wth a strengthened hold on the Solid East, having routed the Third Term party in Vermont, and the Democratic Par ty in Maine. The Third Term ieaders recently conceded that we would pick the State of Utah out of the Solid West, and, after conferring with Chair man Hilles and others recently in the West, there is every reason to believe that the Republican Party will carry Michigan, Washington, Idaho and Wyoming. Moreover, if the proper kind cf a campaign is waged, we wiil carry Oregor, Kansas and Minnesota, where the Third Term strength has rapidly waned since the recent tour through that section by the party’s candc.date. “] am not familiar with the develon ments in other Western States, ai though many gocd reports have come to me at Beverly concerning them, but even with the States already men tioned it can be seen that there is no longer a Solid West back of the new party, but, more nearly, a Solid West reunited in support of the Republican ticket. This strength, added to the in disputable hold on the Eastern States, constitutes, in itself, a sufficient strength to give success to the party. “It is scarcely necessary for me to point to the necessity of re-establish ing a Republican majority in the House of Representatives. If this is done, I feel confident that I will be able to have placed on the statute books the workmen’s compensation law which I urged upon the last ses sion, but which was sent to oblivion by the Democratic House. If the country will give the Republican Party a complete victory in its congression al, as well as its Presidential, ticket, a proper tariff rewision will be speedily effected, with knowledge of the facts ascertained by a tariff commission, which will harm no one and remove {ts present defects.” King Cotton’s Carnival coming to Town , The Date October 12th W-A-I-T Prehistoric Dinosaurs Found. What is believed to be an important find of hitherto undiscovered species and genera of prehistoric land reptiles has just been made. Twelve fossils or skeletons of dinosaurs, among them two complete brontosaurs—the largest animals that have ever lived—were unearthed from the side of a cliff nine miles north of Jansen, Utah, in what was, in distant ages, a river; as the cobbles, mussel shells, and sand en vironing the bones showed. Besides these specimens of the extinct bronto saurus fossil, remains of several stego saurus specimens were also brought to light. These, Mr, Hartley M. Phelps tells us, are very rare. The stegosau rus was the most grotesqque animal that ever existed. The brontosaurus often attained a length of 80 feet, but it had a small head. Its neck and tail were short. Like the stegosaurus, it lived by eating succulent herbs. It had powerful legs, 10 feet or so in length. The diplodocus measured 70 feet long, had an immense body, pow erful legs, and an encrmously long tail and long neck, but a small head. It lived in swamps and ate waterweeds. Zts remains have only been found on the slopes or iiz Racky mountaina, Over Million Dollars Given To Missions By Americans Last Year Portland, Me , Oct.7—The 103 rd annaul meeting of the Amer ican board of commissioners for foreign missions will begin here tomorrow. Officers will report the board free from debt for the fourth time its history, receipts being $1,062,443 and expendi tures $1,062,080. Only once before has the re ceipts passed the mullion dollas mark. Regarding the work of the year in foreign mission fields, & re-port says; ““While it has been a turbulent period over the larger part of the board’s fields and scenes of war and revolution have been the ex perience of many of its mission aries, it has been a year of un surpassed opportunity and chal lenge to the workers.

Duel That Never Came Off. Humphrey Howarth, a surgeon fa mous In the poet Rogers’ day, ap peared on the field arrayed only in na ture’s garb. “What does this mean?” asked his challenger, amazed. “I lknow," was Howarth’s reply, “if any iclothing is carried into the body by a gunshot wound, festering ensues. Therefore I have met you thus.” The duel was declared off. Women in Deadly Duel. There was fought in Tennessee not long ago a duel between women. They met after church service, setting upon each other with knives. Friends at tempted to part them. With leveled revolver, the man over whom they had quarreled, ordered that the fight be to a finish. Soon one of the women lay dead and the other was badly wounded. Swies to Use Their Water Power. No country is better off than Swit zerland in the matter of water power, and vast resources of force are still unutilized. It is now proposed to elec trify all the state railways and to sup ply the energy needed from the numer ous water powers not yet developed. Already most of the funicular railways smploy electricity.

I have been interested in fish culture for years and have made a study of their habite. So that I could study them at closer range, I built a big aquarium in my yard, one that held 650 gallons, and along with a fine collection of fish I stocked it with seven fine big bull frogs. ' “The sparrows used to drink water from the edge of the aquarium and this day, while my wife was looking on, one of the frogs leaped up, caught the sparrow and took it beneath the water. I could hardly believe that a frog would attack and vanquish such a fighter as the English sparrow is known to be, so in the interest of sci ence I emptied the aquarium, and sure enough, down in the bottom was the sparrow. The frog had taken him down below, but either could not swal low him or else did not have the time. Following that I began to miss some valuable Japanese fantails, and, after removing all the frogs but one, waited until I missed another fish, when I killed Mr. Frog and found that he was the robber. Before that I believed the fish had been stolen by cats. The bull frog is aggressive and can take his own part any time.” . New York Bcenery. I heard someone descanting about her view, says Jane Stone in New York Press. She said one thing she’d always hated in New York was mnot having a view, and now she had one. She took me up to see it. “Well, where ig it?” said I, looking out of the window. “Why, there and there and there!” said she. “Don’t you see how 1 see over that roof to the next one, and down in the street to the mail box and overhead to that bit of sky?” 1 gaid, oh, yes, and how nice it was that she had it. It’s really pathetic what New York can do to us. It’s pathetic when somebody thinks that what she showed me was a view. A view- Growth of the Game. “Bageball is adopting many innova tions.” . “What now?” “In addition to nine men playing pall it is now considered necessary to have a couple of comedians in uniform on the side lines.” “WWhat tor?” “To distract the attention of oppos ing players.” “Um.
