I CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT No Ijuugcr A Doubt riint the Wisconsin ik'iuitor Will Announce the Fact Soon. Washington, May t>.?The newest Presidential figure against the political ucrium of lbl2 is the Hon. Kobe it. M. l^iFolcitc. of Wisconsin. The pioneer cr insurgency in the American Senate was not extraordinarily promim i t in the public; utterances of li e last session of I the Sixty-first Congress. Few men cf his pr minence in that great assembly made fewer speeches or were so seldom on the ! floor of the Senate. Iiui if Mr. LaFVjlette has been quiet he has not been inactive. His policy has evidently been to "saw wood and say nothing.'' He bccir.s. however this ??vtr;i session with the external promise of taking a larger part in senatorial discussions arc! of occupying a greater place in the public eye. He will probably begin his activity for the extra session in a vigorous appeal for the uplift of politics and the purity of elections in a great effort to oust Larimer, of Illinois, from his senatorial seat. It is noted by acute observers that Senator LaFolette's manner and tone have grown greatly in intensity and force in the last six mouths. There is about him a greater depth than he has illustrated in public life before. Nor has the Senator been more radical, but less radical, in these recent months. j That he is a candidate for President. of the United States, seeking nm miniination 01 ine next national Republican convention, there is no longer a shadow of doubt. When he will announce this candidacy is merely a matter of discretion with himself and his friends. Will Stick to the Party. It is known that Senator LaFolette does not desire to leave th. Republican party so long as there is or appeals to be a chance to impress bis progressive politics upon the councils and platforms of that organization. He has been studiously careful to avoid any act or utterance which would seem to indicate for the present a break with h*s party. One of the greatest of the far Western Senators, who is a cordial friend of the Wisconsin man, tells me that ho believes if l.aFoletto should announce his candidacy, that President Taft, who is not particularly enamored of his lofty station, V would recognize the leadership that could carry the Republican party to victory and would retire from the race himself. However daring litis theory, there are many to support it. Upon the other hand, it is urged that the President is not a man te retire under fire. He is a devoted Republican, loyal to his party, and the only consideration that might possibly induce him not to become a candidate would he the conviction that another man might bring Republican success in 1912. Would Make a Striking ( anieui -n That Mr. LaFolette, if he shot enter the Presidential race either me single candidate or as the didate against the political chief ecutive, would make a striking an* remarkable campaign 110 politic i! observer will for a moment dot. V tv There can be no further hiding of the fact that LaPolette is a candidate. There can be no doubt of the fa<^t that he has grown enormously upon the confidence and admiration of his party within the past two years, and that the progressive sentiment which lie undoubtedly leads has also increased to an amazing degree. I have before this pointed in Mr. IaiFolette entered the Senate these columns to the fact that where Mr. IvoFolette entered the Senate five years ago a single and lonesome pioneer representing one-sixtieth of the Republican majority, he and liis faction are now one-fourth of the Republican Senate and are strong enough and bold enough to split his party ranks in that body. He is playing his hand with eonsumate boldness and skill. And whether lie makes open announcement of his candidacy before the close of the extra session or whether he carries it riding a dark horse to the dcor of the national ltepubpnnvon f i r\.? It ?? ?? *- ? ? - * 1 vw?,v .ni.ni, u mujr m- n i lien as at once a prophecy and a fact that the Republican who wins the national nomination in 1912 must reckon with' him. The Democrats aie looking with large approval and expectation upon the split which DaFolette is sure to make in the .Republican ranks They do not deem it possible that the virile leader of the insurgent Republicanism can lally the stand-patters of privilege and <?f protective tar'fr around his banner. Upon the other hand, they reason that if l.aFolctte should he defeated and President Taft, as the majority thinks, shall be the nomlneo of his party, the IaiFolette Republicans will protest in a mass, either in an organization that will support htm Independently for the Presidency, or that they will rally j to tin. progressinve Democratic can- t dictate who so nearly represents their seutiments. ] f LaFollette against Harmon would ( make a doubtful proposition for I Democracy. LaFolette against \Vil- i i son would be a clash of ultra-pro- < gressive, witn a drift and tenden-,' cy all in favor of Wilson. 1 I With LaFolette pitted against i Champ Clark, it is believed that the < strength and force of the Wiscon- i sin Senator, great as it is, would be overwhelmed by the Democratic drift, led by a record so altogether flawless as that of the Speuker of I the House and the leader of the | greatest Democratic working ma-11 chine that the party has ever k taown. HKLLO, IIEXVKR! THIS IS NI'.N YORK!' , Longest Long Distance Talk on Record?Voices Plainly Heard 2.080 Miles. N. Y. American. New York and Denver were in communication Friday night by telephone. The longest line in the world, 2,030 miles, opens for commercial business at G o'clock this morning. If you desire to ring up i your business partner, sweetheart i or attorney, it will cost you $11.25 for three minutes of conversation. The longest previous service was 1,400 miles, and the prediction was made last night that the next step would be a through service from New York to San Francisco. It was I ihe opinion of experts this would , come in two years. Directors and officers of the American Telephone & Telegraph , Company and invited guests assembled last evening in the office of Vice-President N. C. Kingsbury, j Mr. Kingsbury talked to Mayor, i Spear in Denver. Mr. Kingsbury! then endeavored to get Governor Woodrow Wilson, who is in Denver. to the telephone. He got the hotel at which Wilson is staying, but the Governor had left to keep an engagement. The Denver wire was connected with the Denver Press Club, which asked to speak to the International News Service office in this city at No. 200 William street.

Invents "Tireless Horse.." If Inventor Seymour Stewart's 1 "tireless horse," for which he has 1 just been granted a patent, pans out half so well as the optimistic inventor believes it will, the automobile 1 .a n> nave ;i nveiy rival, says ' ihe Savannah Morning News. The "tireless horse" has con- 1 cealed in his aluminum insides a gasoline engine which propels two 1 driving wheels swung between his 1 legs. The "horse,"' of any size from a Shetland to a Normandy 1 draft horse, is made of aluminum, ' with main and tail and moveable 1 legs. The driving wheels track be- 1 tween the front and rear legs and are propelled by connecting rods from the engine supporting the, "hor8e'"vand to keep him erect and; from toppling over, are two small rubber tired wheels, attached to steel rods rivited to the animal's sides. The legs are worked bysmall connecting rods from the drive wheels. Connecting with the fore driving wheel is the steering gear, similar to that of an automobile, rnuning to the vehicle. The "motor horse" in shafts, is hitched to a buggy or other vehicle practlclaly the same as a live, every-day horse which it resembles, except for the wheels and other driving machinery. Inventor Stewart lias figured out the possibilitMH of his invention in almost countless ways. The "tireless horse in harness and hitched up, is capable of a speed of sev-, < nty miles an hour he said, and will not only riv.nl but will outlast the ; automobile as a pleasure vehicle. The automobile at best is an awkwnrd and unnatural piece of 1 mechanism' to look at, while we ' have a natural horse in full mo- J uj 2u|iiuru jo anio^d 'Suhoji 'nop harness and hitched to buggy for ? Measure riding or on the race track it a mile a minute." The inventor says his attorneys ^ ound in the United States Patent Office two somewhat similar inven-1 :ions, one a sort of Pegasus on wheels and the other a liorse-bicy- i Me combination affair, neither of jt which approach the "tireless horse": in practicability or naturalness.

"You know few children .. ever wore shoes and stockings then, except to church; but as we wore the minister's family, or mother ^ thought it proper that we should ! wear them.

The older boys and girl3 would take turns in carrying the little ones over the ! hard places, and a two-mile walk 1 was not much for country children. Then when we reached the school house, we would wipe our feet on the towels, put on our stockings and shoes, and he all right again. When it really snowed or rained, ? (lie fun was better still.

When at last we were at home again, the hired man would take us! out?quilts children and all, in a squirming bundle, and deposit us on the kitchen floor, to straighten ourselves as best we could. "It was better fun than you can get in these days," Mary," ended grandma, laughing heartily at the, recollection; and Mary laughed too, as she answered, jumping up: "I declare, grandma, you make me. wish " I'd been a centenial girl."?Illinois Christian Weekly.
