WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7. 1910—10 PAGES PLAY BRIDGE OR BE OLD FOGY Baptist F a »tor in Hot Water for Denouncing Dancing' and Card Playing SCORED FASHIONABLE WOMAN AND LOSES JOB By United Press Leased Special Wire. POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y„ Sept. 7.— That the Rev. W. H. Hubbard, for mer pastor of the fashionable Mill Street Baptist Church, was well with in his rights when he denounced from the pulpit Mrs. Helen H. Haggart, a wealthy member of his congregation, for permitting her children to dance and play cards was the decision of the Central Hudson Baptist Association to-day. The association considered the ap peal of the Rev. Mr. Hubbard from the order of the trustees of the church, termination his pastorate at an all-night session, during which bit ter personalities were indulged In, and to-day returned a verdict that the dismissal was illegal. The trus tees were ordered io reinstate Hub hard. The case has been filled with sensa tional developments from the outset. Mrs. Haggart took exception to a the minister preached last sermon winter, denouncing dancing and card playing. During a prayer meeting she took occasion to say she consid ered a knowledge of how "bridge" and to dance essential in the education of a child and that her children were being so taught. The following Sunday the Rev Mr. Hubbard denounced Mrs. Taggart from the pulpit and told her in so many words that she was not a Christian. Later he demanded that she cither have card playing and dancing a, her home stopped or withdraw from the church. The congregation divided Into two hostile camps. The big majority were to play with Mrs. Haggart and held that Hub bard was "old fogyish" and a "back number." Leading members of the church say to-day thev will withdraw and start another church it the trustees obey the mandate of the Baptist Associa tlon.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 7.-—When Wisconsin awoke today it found itself swept by the wave of Republican In surgeucy. Latest returns from the statewide primaries yesterday indi ••ate Senator LaPollette's renoraina tlon by a vote of 4 to 1 over his oppo Uent, Samuel A.

It shows the people are awake to their Interests, determined to restore rep i. , nerln, .1 m ho personal. It is the command of the people that they choose to rule them selves and will not longer suffer themself to be dominated by .peclal During the past campaign LaFol lette has been too ill to carry on his fight. This brought a host of the I noted "progressives" to his aid. Un aided by other than personal flnan cial backing, they stumped the state. Francis E. McGovern, progressive candidate for fhe gubernatorial nom K nation carried the state, acordlng to atest estimates, by a majority of 20, 000 votes against Edkard T. Fairchild, stand patter. Captain William Mitch ell Lewis, candidate oi the county op tlon issue, finished third.

Cary and Henry F. Cochems both progrès sives were nominated, Cary by a vote; of seven to one. Cochems, former; district attorney of Milwaukee and ! famed for his prosecution of graft was nominated by a narrow margin over Congressman W. P. Stafford, the only out and out stand-patter in the present Wisconsin delegation. William M. Frellch. Republican, had no opposition in the sixth. This is ! the strongest Democratic district in ; the State. Latest reports say that M. E. Burke of Beaver Dam' progres sive Democrat was nominated to suc ceed Congressman Weisse, who is the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate. In the seventh Congressman John J. Esch, "half and half." but against Cannon, was nominated without op position. In the Eighth district Congressman Davidson, insurgent won. lu (he ninth. Congressman Kuester maun, who claims conversion to in surgency, was nominated over A. W. Spencer, stand-patter. In the Tenth and Eleventh districts Congressman Morse and both progressives, are renominated. One of the sensations of the pri mary appears to be the wiping out of* the Democratic party in the State. Under the primary law, a party which falls at the primary to poll 20 cent, of Its votes oast at the previous general election has no right to pear under a party designation the general election' ballot. The Lenroot, per ap on Democratic parly, It is believed, has failed to oast the necessary vote to retain Its place. If it does, Adolph J. Sehmitd, of Milwaukee, will be the candidate for governor. William A. Jacobs of Racine, Is the Socialist didale for governor. Although returns are not completed, early to-day. It is generally believed later figures will not change the above results. can INDUSTRY WORKMEN ELECT NEW OFFICERS H. W. Qulnhy, master workman; D. Industry Lodge. No. 5. A. O. Ü.
