MOTHER REVOLT IN BLOODY RUSSIA Western Siberian Peasants Rebel and Take Omsk, Tomsk. SOVIETS ARE OVERTHROWN Rebellion Against Reds Spreads as Tribesmen Are Joined by Cossacks Who Furnish Competent Lead ers—Russ Show Resistance. Harbin, Aug. 30.—Western Siberian peasants have overthrown the soviets at Tomsk, Novonikolaievsk, Omsk, Barnaul and other important towns, it is reported here from reliable sources. Isolated peasant uprisings which have been in progress since spring ap peared to have culminated in a gen eral insurrection. This was led by an uprising of the Kirghiz tribesmen, which followed the withdrawal of the bolshevik troops, presumably for the Polish front Aided by Cossacks. The tribesmen were joined by Cos sacks and detachments of anti-bolshe vik troops, which furnished them com petent leadership. This force marched on the more Important centers, but found them already in the hands of In surgents. Two thousand Russian officers re leased from bolshevik prisons also are said to have joined the new anti-bol shevik forces. The insurgent movement is reported to be spreading. Outbreaks are already frequent in the far East, where it is ex pected the soviet regime will soon fall. Eastern Siberian authorities are dazed by the suddenness of the new developments. The main liupport of the uprising appears to come from the mujlk farmers of the provinces of Al tai, Tomsk, Tobolsk, Semipalatinsk and Akmolinsk, which are the richest farming districts of Siberia. Russ Make Stand. London, Aug. 30. —Russian resist ance in the area east of Brest-Lltovsk Is continuing, a dispatch from Warsaw said. The bolshevists also have stiff ened their lines east and north of Grodno, apparently working from a northern base at Vilna. Prince Sapleha. the Polish foreign minister, is at Brest-Litovsk for a con ference with M. Dombski. head of the Polish delegation at Minsk. They will determine the place to which the peace parleys will be transferred and the prince will fully acquaint the head of the delegation with the present stand of the government on peace terms. Since the parley started at Minsk the communication of the delegation with Warsaw has been very inade quate. No couriers have been able to get through the lines and the wire less messages were infrequent and garbled. Beware Reds, Weygand Warns. Paris, Aug. 30. —The bolshevists will recover from their military defeat within six months. Unless internal upsets take place within Russia the nations of western Europe will have to be on their guard throughout the winter —that is, pro vided a general peace is not arrived at The above is from Gen. Maxime Weygand, the French military leader, generally credited with being the brains of the defense of Warsaw and the Polish counter-offensive. He declared it would be a grave mistake to think that the disaster to the reds was irretrievable. YANKS IN SEWING CONTEST Needlework of Wounded Heroes to Be Shown at Kentucky State Fair.

While I was outside of the State a number of cit izens brought me into the political field as Republican candidate for Assemblyman for the First Dis trict of Rock County. This effort was not only made in my absence, but my first knowledge of it came to me upon my return home. Such a call to public service was in a high degree complimentary and entitled to more than ordinary con sideration. Now that I am in the race, I am in to win. There is a place for service in the Legislature, as elsewhere, in these days of unrest. I am strongly con vinced that every person should make a special effort to render the larg est social service, especially in this period of readjustment. I have not, and shall not have, any alliance, political or otherwise. I have not now, and do not expect to have, any enemies to punish. If elected, as a public official I shall have no friends to reward at public expense. As to all matters that may be presented for consideration to the Legislature, I as a member, would be as independent as it is possible for any American citizen to be. I am not, and shall not be, a special representative of any group or class.

It is impossible to enumerate and predict as to the questions which will come before the next Legisla ture. I shall not attempt it. If elect ed I will use every honorable effort to effect thrift and economy in pub lic and private affairs and reduce tax burdens. There will also be many educational problems present ed for solution, and in these I shall have a vital and unusual interest. I am keenly alert to our pressing industrial problems and the relations between capital and labor. I shall meet these very difficult questions with an open mind, giving to them my most careful study and applying to them my best intelligence. Of course, in Wisconsin, the ques tion of equal suffrage is no longer an open one, and I shall rejoice with others in the entrance of women in to the full rights of citizenship. If sent to the Legislature I shall use my energy, my equipment, my judgment, and my conscience as effectively as possible for public good.
