Dayton, Ohio, July 9.-That the west may be developed into one of the chief battlegrounds early in the national political caimInpaigns was the inference drawn from today's developments here. Gov. James .1. Cox, the Democratic candidate for president, stated :that many req lu's ts that. he openi the llcam aign in the west have beeil received and in his talk with newspaper men the go'oCr'II' left tlme iprII Iessionl that lit alt least .was int orei't'ei il the "ropositoll of an carly invasion of the west, if not inl fact, favorable to it. He stated, however, that cai - paign arranlgemleits are Ilii teli hands of lbhe national committee and that he could say nothing defin ite until he has conferred with the committee. W'. W. lin, president of tle Corn Palace, .Mitchell, S. D., headed a dele gation that Called on the governor today urging him1 to accept an invi tation to speak at the festival the date of which is September 27 to 0e toberi 7. The Alinnesota state fair management also has wired asking him to make a speaking engagement there. Charles E. Morris, the governor' Iri Vale secretary, telephoned from San 'Francisco, that lie was being besieged by California delegalions urging that the campaign be openied itn that state. MI. Morris told the governor that California Democrats are certain they can carry the state for hit. Considerable inierest now is center ing in the conference of the national committee with the governor .uily 20. .It has not been definitely established 'whether the meeting ,will be held at the gdverinor's home at Trail's Elmd. or in Colbillils, but the governor said he' would wire Chairman Cummings that the plans made for the commit 'tee meeting here seemed satisfactory to him. The (late and place of hold Ing the otlicial notilfleation ceremony are expected to be determined at the Conference. Governor Cox intimated that some time between August 15th and 20th would be a satisfactory date for the nottileation. The fact that Franklin 1). Roosevelt has stopped over for a twenty-four .honr rest at Glenwood Springs, Colo., makes it probable that lie will not .reach Ohio for a conference with his running mate before Monday. In such case, the governor said the conference 'probably will take place inl Coltimbus as he expects to go there Mlonday morning to look after matters at the occutive ofilces. lie has wired Mr. Rloosevelt asking for something dell nate on the time of his arrival. .lessages colitililed to come in to day in a continuous stream.

Warned lin Advance.. Niagara Falls, N. Y., July 11 - Charles G. Stephens of :Brlstol, Eng land, was killed today when he went I over the 'llorseshoe falls in a barrel. The cask in which he made the tri) though built of stout russian oak staves and bound with steel hoops was smashed like an egg Shell on the jagged r6cks eat the base of the cata ract. Pieces of the barrel were plck ed up near the bank on the 'Canadian1 side, butt. Steplh ens' body has not I)e'Il recovered. Stelilens was .-S years 01(1 and has a wife and 11 children -in l3rist.ol, where lie was a barer. .le served three years In France (with the Brit llh arm1y. lie had planned to make a lecture tour ' 1England if his trip was sitecessful. Bobby teacl, who went over tihe llorseshoe falls in 1911. told Stephens before he started that his trip woup, he a failure. Leachii predicted that the harrel would not withstand the dro:' of I.1 feet, but Stephen refused to be dissuaded from i the venture. Few knew t hat Stephens was to make the trip today and when the barrel iwas towed out into the river on the Canadian side two miles above tile falls there were only a dozeni on hand to watch. It was 8: 10i a. m. w hen 'tephens was east adrift. Early sightseers on G1oat Island saw the barrel bobbing il) and down In the tumbligil reaches of the uipper rapids, but none knew that it carried a man about to defy tile cataracf. Melebers of Stephens' party fol lowed the (nsk down stream in ai tomobiles. In one of lhe.cars a mov Ing picture operator filmed the pro gress of the biarrel. As the barrel drew near the brin1i of the falls, It seemed to stand on end, hesilate a sceond or tTo and then slided grace fully over the 'slopi', head foremost aid at a sligth angle. Its gleaming black and white stripes could be seen until it had fallen about half way down the face of the cataract then it wast lost to view in the misty spray. -A quarter of an hour passed, then a half hour and an hour. Field glass es trained on the boiling waters at the base of the cataract revealed no sign of the cask. When the hour had passed. the old river men In the lit tle group of watchers began to shakhe their heads Ip*lblously. 'le barrel designed by Stephens for the trip w.as sIx feet three inches high. Stephlens Is the third to attempt tihe barrel tri! over tile falls. Mrs. Anele E. Taylor went over in October, 1901, In an oal< barrel, and Dlobby Leach made tile tlrip In .1ly. 1911, In a steel barrel. Both are still living.
