TAFT CAI
Five Men Under Consideration
by President's Friends,
SECOND PLACE A FACTOR,
Selection Tor Vice President Will In
fluence Choice Must Appease In
surgents Political Exigencies May
Call For Sacrifice of Sherman.
Five men nro under consideration by
intimate friends of President Tnft,
men by whose advice ho will be part
ly guided, for chairman of tho Repub
lican nationnl committeo and manager
of the nest presidential campaign.
These are Charles D. miles, secre
tary to the president; Secretary Fisher
of the department of interior; William
Loeb, collector of customs at New
York; Frank II. Hitchcock, postmaster
general, nud Representative Calder of
Brooklyn.
It is candidly admitted that.lt is en
tirely too early to select a man for
manager of tho campaign. The final
selection will depend upon tho lineup
after tho nomination of air. Taft.
Much will depend, on the nomination
of n vlco presidential candidate along
with Mr. Taft. To keep the insurgents
in line ns far as possible the disposi
tion of the Republican leaders when
Taft is nominated will bo to concede
some important post to the Insurgents
to aid in obtaining their support
Whether this is to be the vice presi
dency or tho chairmanship of the na
tional committee remains to be deter
mined from the situation nt that. time.
If Vice President Sherman is again to
go on tho ticket with Mr. Taft there
will be many advocates of giving the
chairmanship to a progressive Repub
lican. If a progressive is nominated for
second place on tho ticket President
Taft will select" the best man ho can
among his acquaintances to handle the
hunt for voters. Mr. IIlllcs has the
inside track now. lie has done clever
political work so far, having shown
tact and ability of a high order not
only as secretary, but in the game of
politics.
Mr. mtchcock is not spoken of as
frequently as heretofore because of
repeated statements ho has made to
friends that he does not want to man
age another campaign and that he
earnestly wishes to get out of poli
tics. He has practically turned the
entire game of patronage over to Mr.
Hlllcs and gives' his time to tho post
office department. But for tho fact
that the president has stated that he
does not want to change secretaries
again during his term Mr. Hllles
would bo n 10 to 1 shot as things
now look, but the changes may again
bring things to tho point where Mr.
Hitchcock may be forced to take
charge at tho request of the president.
Next to Mr. Hlllcs tho man most
mentioned is William Loeb. By rea
son of his long service with Mr. Roose
velt ho is closely in touch with pro
gressives all over the country. Ho
would bo acceptable to Roosevelt, and
his loyalty to Taft is unquestioned.
Many believe ho would mako an ideal
man.
Representative Calder of Brooklyn
is highly thought of by President
Tnft. Ho is a close friend -of Mr.
Roosevelt and a skillful mnn at the
great game of political maneuvering.
Ho has many friends who think his
chances are good to handle tho next
campaign.
Secretary Fisher is discussed as a
strong possibility, especially should
Mr. Sherman bo named for another
term. Ho is recognized as a progres
sive, has tho confidence of the pro
gressive leaders of the west and is an
able man. I The only thing urged
against him is his inexperience in
largo political matters. His aptitude,
however, combined with recognized
ability, may make him flguro to a
considerable extent In tho calculations
of the leaders as tho chairman of the
national committee next year.
TO SPELL FOR MONTHS.
Old Fashioned Bee Will Last From
Fall to Spring.
An old fashioned spelling bee on tho
blpgost scale over attempted will have
14.MK) contestants, pupils in the pub
He schools of Knno county, 111. Tho
contest started with tho beginning of
tho school year and will not bo fin
ished until next spring.
In tho beginning the championship
of each room will bo decided, then tho
championship of each school and next
tho champlonshp of tho city or town
ship. Tho leaders of tho cities and
townships-will meet for tho final "spoil
down."
CHAMPION EATER.
Boston Man Devoured Fifty-eight Cars
of Corn In Less Than Two Hours.
Another world's record was smash
ed by Charles W. Glldden of Boston,
champion cater, who devoured flfry
elght cars of corn in ono hour and fifty-five
minutes. The previous record
was fifty-four cars.
Mr. Glldden got up from ths table
after having finished his task and,
pulling down his white vest, remark
ed: "I feel satisfied. I nover really have
before. I do not feel as if I could eat
Work Started on tho New York Will
- Be Finished In 1314.
With the youug grandfinn of the late
Rear Admiral Sampon driving the
first bolt, tho keel of tho superdrcad
nought New York, to bo tho biggest of
Uncle Sam's fighting craft, was laid In
tho Brooklyn navy yard. Simple cere
monies marked tho beginning of tho
work of constructing the great ship,
which is to bear tho name of the Em
pire State, heretofore borne by a cruis
er. It is expected that tho New York
will be completed by the summer of
1014.
The new "peace preserver" is to bo
constructed on the same ways on
which the battleships Connecticut and
Florida and tho collier Vestal have
been built.
The first of the great steel plates was
lifted nnd placed in position by a crane.
When four keel plates had been laid
eight small boys stepped forward and
drove in tho first bolts, all ot nickel.
The honor of putting In the very first
one fell to W. T. Cluvcrhis, Jr., tho
flve-yenr-old son of Lieutenant Com
mnnder Cluverlus nnd a grandson of
tho lato Admiral Sampson, whoso flag
ship In the naval operations off San
tiago in the Spanish war was tne
cruiser New York.
Tho New York will hare a length of
573 feot, a breadth of 05 feet 2 inches,
a total displacement of 27,000 tons nnd
engines of 28,000 horsepower. Her
major armament will consist of ten
fourtecn-lnch guns. She will bo one of
the first vessels of the navy to be arm
ed with fourteen inch rifles.
With a displacement of 5,000 tons
more than that of the Florida, the New
York when launched will be the big
gest nnd most powerful 'fighting ship
ever constructed for tho United States
navy. She nud her sister ship, tho
Texas, will be larger In every way
than the Florida, which, it is expected,
will soon be ready to go into commis
sion nt the Brooklyn yard.
WORKING ON 16 INCH GUNS.
Naval Experts Prepare For Coming of
tho Forty Thousand Ton Warship.
As soon us some other nntlon begius
to arm its warships with fourteen Inch
guns, tho caliber of the rifles which
will compose tho main battery of tho
newest designed Dreadnoughts of tho
American navy, tho United States will
Eeriously consider tho sixteen inch gun
for battleships. Tho largest gun on
foreign vessels today Is the 13.5 inch,
adopted by Great Britnin and Russia.
Tho problem of a sixteen inch gun
is already being worked out in connec
tion with imaginary 35,000 and 40,000
ton battleships, so as to be prepared
to take an advanced step whenever
foreign competition warrants it. For
rifles of that caliber a warship must
nccessnrlly have a displacement of at
least 31,000 tons to resist tho terriflie
recoil. These plans demonstrate, it Is
said, how materially is tho evolution
In naval construction and ordnance In
one country controlled by the progress
of others.
With the slzo and strength of war
ships growing from year to year in
this worldwide endeavor to excel na
val experts are beginning to wondei
when and where tho climax will be
reached. With tho 20,000 nnd 27,000
ton ships building the navy depart
ment Is planning to mako tho dls
placement of the two battleships au
thorized by tho last naval act 28,500
tons. That is certaluly not tha end,
for it is believed that tho next Dread
noughts will bo at least 30,000 tons.
NEW CANCER CURE.
Burning the Affected Tissues Is Latest
Hope, Physicians Say.
Members of tho American Electro
therapeutic association, at their con
vention held in Philadelphia, witnessed
an operation which, it is declared, will
mako possible a certain cancer cure if
performed In time.
Tho method was entirely new, nnd
the operation was witnessed by fifty
or more physicians. Thp theory is to
burn tho tissues affected and thus pre
vent the further spread of tho disease.
V strong electric current through Bteel
needles dipped In zinc was employed.
The zliu1 undergoes a chemical change
when the electric current Is npplled
and emits a chemical that destroys tho
parts to which it Is applied. This
leaves nothing hnt a burn to bo cured.
CAT CAME BACK.
Made Trip of a Hundred Miles Bo
tween Illinois Cities In Eight Days.
The old adage about tho cat coming
back has been exemplified by a four-month-old
Maltcso kitten owned by
Edward Glffel of Cnrlyle, 111. Tho
kitten traveled moro than a hundred
miles in eight days, reaching its na
tive home, which establishes a record.
Mr. and Mrs. Glffel formerly mado
their homo nino miles north of Bridge
port, moro than n hundred miles
east of Carlylc. A few weeks ago
they removed to Carlyle. Glffel took
the kitten along. Tho cat was dis
satisfied and finally mysteriously dis
appeared. Glffel received a telegram
In unswer to a letter of inquiry from
tho kitten's old homo announcing Its
safe arrival there.
"L" For Mexico City.
Mexico City is to have an elovated
railway service planned on the style
of tho one in Berlin, where tho cars
hang from a single rail. It will placo
the suburban villages within a fow
minutes of the heart of the capital.
'Elaborate Pains Taken to Make tho
Coming Western Trip ii Suc
cess. When President Taft goes travel
ing, especially on such a long trip
as the ono he began last Friday
ovenlug and to continue until No
vember 1, it requires a great deal
of planning and line work on the
part of his private secretaries, the
secret agents, who aro charged with
the responsibility of tho president's
safety, and on tho part of the rail
road officials of the country. The
president will be 47 or 48 days on
his contemplated trip, and every
minute of every day of the time he
Is to be away has been provided for;
the .officials of the 2G different rail
road systems over which ho will
travel have co-operated with each
other; the schedule which has been
made up shows just what hour or
fraction of an hour at which the
president is to arrive at and depart
from tho different cities and towns
'Included in his Itinerary.
It wasn't until the President was
on his way to 'Beverly from Roches
ter, N. Y., whore he had attended
the encampment of the Grand Army
that he and Ills' secretarial force had
worked the list of invitations down
to some thing like the limits of pos
sibility, but still not low enough to
make it practicable to get thsm all In
the program. On his way from Al
bany to Boston tho president had
the passenger agent of the Boston
and Albany, who was accompanying
the train, Invited down to Beverly to
go over the matter with Assistant
Private Secretaries Smlthers and
Rudolph Forster. City Passenger
Agent C. E. Colony of the Boston
and Albany went to Beverly and af
ter two days and a half of confer
ences with the private secretaries
was given a tenatlvo Itinerary for the
trip, a.l done In typewriting, but
subject to change.
This proposed itinerary had to be
submitted to A. S. Hanson, general
passenger agent of the Boston and
Albany, because it is customary for
the passenger agent of the road on
which the president begins a trip
to make arrangements with the offi
cials of all tho other railroads over
which tho president proposes to
travel, and Mr. Hanson was on tho
job from the start.
As the president is to travel over
25 railroads in addition to tho Now
York Central system It was neces
sary for Mr. Hanson to got In touch
with the officials of those roads to
see If they could handle tho business
on the dates tentatively fixed by the
president, and representatives of all
tho roads conferred with 'Mr. Han
son. Then when tho special train
had been arranged for the Itinerary
had to be taken back to Beverly for
revision, a number of changes wore
made and last week Tuesday morn
ing President Taft put his "O K" on
it. Then tho procedure began to be
moro simplified.
In connection with the arrange
ments for caring for tho president's
train each railroad company was re
quired to guaranteo to keep Its train
as nearly on time as possible, and
under no circumstances to run It
ahead of its schedule. People will
wait for a delayed train to see the
president, but they miss him If tho
train Is ahead of time. There will
bo about 12 or 14, men In the presi
dents own party, Including secretar
ies, stenographers and secret service
agnts. On the train arrangements
have been made for the accommo
dation of nine newspaper men, who
will be with the president through
out the trip, and there will also be
an expert telegraph operator, so that
in case of a wreck, breakdown or
other delay, ho can climb a pole and
mako telegraphic connections.
Mark your ballot thus:

To the Republicans ot Wayno Co.:
I take this means of announcing
myself as a candidate for the nomi
nation of Prothonotary at the pri
maries, Sept. 30, 1911.
To most of you I am known per
sonally. During my seventeen years
of service as a clerk In the Hones
dale postofiice my efforts have been
to perform ray duties faithfully and
courteously to the patrons of the of
fice and the public generally.
To the voters with whom I am not
personally acquainted I would say
that, since a severe injury sustain
ed by my father a few years before
his accidental death when I was six
teen years old I have tried to make
an honest living. My birthplace was
In Texas township, district No. 4,
Wayne county. My school days
were limited to the district school
and the Honesdalo High school. As
a boy of eleven years I spent my
summers slate picking on the Dela
ware & Hudson dock and attended
school during the winter. I also
spent several summers working on a
farm in Cherry Rldgo.
After school I entered the office
of the Honesdalo Iron Works, known
now as the Guerney Electric Elevator
Co.. Whfirfl T Htnvprl n nnmlior nf
years and later entered tho Hones-
uuie ijostoiuco serving two years un
der William F. Brlggs. I then went
tO the Cfirhnnrlnln T.ltmhnr. r.r,mrnrnr
as a bookkeeper, remaining with
uiem until tno appointment as post
master of Miss Mary E. Gerety, who
latnr linrnniA the wfn nt TJrr n a
McCarty. In June, 189G, I returned
iu mo nonesuaie postomce wnere 1
have been employed ever since. In
coming before tho people and asking
their assistance and vote at the com
ing primaries, let mo say that I am
no tool of any boss or bosses. I
simply desiro In common with every
American citizen to better my condi
tion. Your support will be appre
ciated and If nominated and elected
I will devote all my time and atten
tion to the duties of the office to
which I aspire and will resign my
present position.
As the son of the late Newton
Sharnsteen. veteran nf thn nivii
war, I have an interest in and sym-
patny witn an veterans.
Most cordially yours,
J. N. Sharpsteen.
