II CENTURY
Ann WILSON
Many Leaders of Old Republican
Machine Said to Be Favor
ing Roosevelt.
New York, Sept. 22—The Cen
tury Magazine, just issued, con
tains an article denouncing the
oni political parties,; and des
cribes President Wilson’s new
freedom an iograndiloquent and
rhetoric. The tariff measure,
jusl passed, the article states,
is merely a “red herring.”
Philadelphia, Sept. 22—Sena
tor Penrose, former Senator
Crane, William Barnes, Jr., and
other Republican leaders favor
Roosevelt for the .Republican
nomination in laid. The lead
ers of the oK" Republican ma
chine have been won over by the
article which appears in the Cen
tury Magazine denouncing Taft,
the democratic administration,
President Wilson and Senator La
Toilette. The announcement of
Barnes, who defeated Roosevelt
in the state of New York, that the
colonel was the logical candidate
of the party is taken to indicate
that the leaders of the republican
machine realize that there is no
hope of perpetuating itself, and
are prepared In make peace with
the progressives. The announce
ment that the Century contained
I he article has caused increased
orders from newsdealers in every j
state and has been the subject of j
editorials in all the city dailies.

POLICE GUARDING
DOWAGER QEN
Appearance of Daughter of Mili
tant 8uffragette in 8weden Re
garded With Suspicion.
Copenhagen, Sept. 2L’.--The
police are shadowing Sylvia
Pankhurst, daughter of the En
glish militant suffragette, as
they fear she has designs against
the life of the Dowager Queen
Alexandra.
Thel police profess to have re
ceived information that the m-ili
lants.are preparing to startle
the world and have taken every
precaution to guard the life of
the queen mother while she is in
this country. The appearance of
the English suffragette here,
where the Dowager Alexandra is
paying a visit, is believed to be
part of a scheme to make her a
sacrifice to convince the British
cabinet that they will stop at no
thing to gain their ends. Miss
Pankhurst has often been quot
ed as saying that the women of
England would have to resort to
the taking of life as well as the
destruction of properly before the
British government could be for
ced to recognize their rights.

LAND DRAWINGS
BEGIN TUESDAY
Forty Thousand Persons Have
Registered Hoping to Draw
Home in Montana.
Glasgow, Mont., Sept. 22.--The
drawings for the Fort Peck
lands will take place1 here next
Tuesday. The city of tents has
outgrown all expectations and
provisions of the government to
care for the land-seekers have
proved inadequate. Forty thous
and have registered and as each
person must be present to answer
to their name when called the
colotyy is being increased with
the arrival of every train.
People from every slate in the
union are among the number who
hope to draw one of the home
steads. It is estimated that the
owner of the first name to be
drawn will have on opportunity
to sell his rights for >115,OOP.
The Fort Peek is the last great
.reservation to bat thrown ope'n
by (he government. There arc
others which may be allotted at
some time in the future but they
will be much smaller. Each
person who registered has been
given a ticket and will have to
present il in person to qualify,
but in case the owner does not
appear he will not be barred from
receiving omi of the allotments,
he simply falls to the bottom of
the list.
