There has been some friction between the club and the Re publican county committee because It had been reDorted to the committee that funds were toeing collected for the picnic on the ground that the club Is under the auspices of the county committee. K. M. Craig, president of the Marching club, said last night that such charges were not true. "No pre tense has been made that the cluh or the oicnic is nart of the committee's campaign program.

CORTELYOU PUSHES WORK. tireat Activity Marks Retarn from Visit to Itooaerelt. NEW TORK, Aug. 26. The return of Chairman Cortelyou to Republican headauarters from Oyster Bay was signalized by a rub of business that has not been observed since the campaign began.

Representatives Warhter of Maryland aad Landis of Indiana were among the early callers, and they were followed by a large number of New Tork state and city politicians, who desired to discuss minor matters of the campaign. Mr. Wachter said that the Republicans of Maryland Intended to make a campaign' with the hope of carrying that state. Despite the fact that David B. Hill spent the day here tn conference with Democratic politicians, very little developed concerning the Democratic nomination for- Governor.

It Is understood that it Is the nollcy of the Democratic managers to strengthen their own position by nominating men for state officers to offset anything that may have been done by their opponents, aad for that reason there- will be little definite action taken until the Republican nominees are known.

Many of the allegations in the complaint are sensational, and much of the inside history of the Kempf case is given.

ROOSEVELT PICTURED AS STERN AND CONSERVATIVE Kxecnllte the Friend of the Capitalist aa Well as as Artire Sympathiser with the Wage Hararr A a si on a to 'Avoid Karcljrw llrolla.

Speelnl rSftpatch to The Inter Ocean. MONTPEL1ER. Aug. 26. Today's big Republican rally at Armory hall was addressed by Secretary of War Taft.

who devoted hia speech to the attacks made on President Roosevelt by the managers, of Judge Parker. He pictured the President as one of the most conservative executives. The Secretary, who was accorded an enthusiastic reception, spoke in part aa "Unable really to attack tbe record of the Republican party, unable really to take any ground which makes a cambatable issue with the Republicans on the main questions, the Democrats now seek to Attack the President tind to charge him with violationa of the constitution; with a headstrong disposition to rule or ruin; with a tendency to involve the country in foreign wars; with being, in othar words, an unsafe man. In all my experience I never have met a man In authority who has less pride of opinion In the Judgments that he has formed in respect to situations presented to him for action that has Theodore Roosevelt. I have never met a man who was so amenable to reason, so anxious tc reach a Just conclusion, and so willing to sacrifice a previously formed opinion as the present President of the United States.

Roosevelt Sternly Conservative. "He weighs every argument which Is brought before him, and if by reason of the limpid character of his nature, which leads him to speak as he thinks, he gives instant expression to an opinion which subsequent facts show him to be erroneous, he changes, as only a man can change who is an earnest seeker for tbe truth, with the sincerest de-rire to do right. He Is not a tyrant, but he is a leader. He does believe in a strenuous life. He does believe in doing things.

He believes that a maa who Is given brain and muscle la charged with the responsibility of making the most of them and of doing aa much with both as possible for his fellow men. He represents as high a type as there is in tbe country of energetic American manhood. He sympathizes with the laborer and the man of wealth both when they love the country whose protection and security of -life, liberty, and property they enjoy. Avoids Korelarn Broils. "No man ever sat in the presidential chair more anxious to avoid war or conflict with foreign nations than he.

His impulsiveness of manner and his quickness of thought and epeech coexist with a real conservatism of action that makes It as certain as it was under Mr. McKiniey that no policy will be followed needlessly exposing the interests of the country to the peril of war. Ah. but it is said, wait until he has a free hand after, the election, then you will see him in his true light. It is dlijlcnlt to answer such a gratuitous suggestion, founded as ft must be on the assumption that a man like Theodore Roosevelt, whose candor and honesty are so patent that he almost thinks aloud, has been playing a part for three years, and Is only awaiting tbe success at election to throw off the mask.

-It is too ridiculous for discussion. Riddles neanoeratle Assertions. First, it Ib charged that he Influences leg islation and transgresses the line which, un der our constitutional system, should exist between the executive and the legislative branches. That it is unconstitutional for the President to confer with the members of -the House and Senate, and seek to influ ence them with respect to legislation is a new do-trine in this republic. In the first nlace.

the constitution gives him the express power and right to communicate with Con gress in giving nis views wun respeci to legislation. In the second place, he la made a co-ordinating factor in tne legislative branch of the government, for he has toe ower to veto any act passed by both houses by a two-thirds vote in each house. Maintain Hiarb. Ideals aa President. "This brings me to the criticism of the President, that be has departed from his former high Ideals In the matter of politics.) Ih.i.

thla Mai is as much in favor of clean methods, he is as mucn opposed to tne spoils system, ne believes in honesty and efficiency in tbe ad ministration of government and in the enforcement of the civil service law as completely as he ever did or ever proposed to do. He is doing everything in his power to maintain his Ideals. Were he to take tbe course marked out as tne proper one in such criticism, and ostracize, so far aa con ference with him is concerned, the members of his party whom the mugwumps do not ap prove, be would divide nis party, tie nis bands, and destroy utterly his power for use fulness to the country. Refers to Coal Strike. Mr.

Taft briefly discussed the recent service pension order and the Panama case, defend ing tbe President irom tne cnargea or usur pation of power and abuse of the constitu tion. Taking up tne action or iresiaeni Roosevelt in appointing the coal strike ar bitration board heseald: Nothing has commended him more to the people of the United States than his action in this matter, and to make It the basis for an attack upon him only shows how ridicu lously short of material his enemies are. Takes Vp Philippines. Mr. Taft spoke briefly along the same lines In defense of the administration position in the.

matter of tbe postorace frauds, and then took up the Philippine question, saying: "The Republicans nope that tne time may come when they may he safely granted in dependence, and think that it will come, but the- reason why they are not in favor of oromlslng that is because such a cromise will greatly misieaa tne uipino veopie. ana greatly complicate the situation la- the Phil ippine islands with respect to the success of the present government there and its order ly continuance. io compromise can be made to Filipinos except that we will grant them independence when they are fit for com plete self government." v. Gills and final are in marvelous abundance ia Long Island waters. The trout season was a record breaker and both basoand bluefish catches will go down to posterity in stories around the camp ore ana at tne club.

Fishing has been particularly good, the catch of weakflsh at Huntington, North port. Port Jefferson, Wreck uead, and the Rock aways being fine.

(Continued on Page 2, Column 2.) no discrimination against union men and tbat they will treat with committees in regulating wages and working conditions. The members of.

the executive board wbo iave been summoned here are Stephen Vail. Omaha; C. E. Schmidt and Louis Rein hart, Kansas City; George McMeachln, St. Joseph, and Patrick Moran, East SI.

Louis. They are expected to arrive in the city tonight or tomorrow morning, and after conferring with President Donnelly and William Stirling, either a communication or a subcommittee will be sent directly to the packers, asking for a conference, Alderaaen Make 7So Headway. As was anticipated, the aldermanlc committee which was appointed to try and bring about a settlement ot the strike met with no success. The packers declared that their position was stronger now than It was two weeks ago when Mayor Harrison offered to act as conciliator, and tbey would not listen to any compromise then. Tbey pointed out that the strike was not a local affair, and that they could not afford to give up the advantages they bad gained in other cities because they were somewhat hampered in their operations In Chicago and Omaha.

Parkers Claim Victory. The packers were represented in the conference by Edward TUaea of Llbby, McNeill Lib by, Thomas J. Connors ot Armour J. E. Maurer of the Schwarzschlld Sulzberger company, and Thomas E.

Wilson of Nelson Morris Co. met with the mayor and committee of aldermen after tbe strike leaders had left the mayor's office and remained In conference for more than three hours. They gave the aldermen figures to show that they were doing more than their normal business In Et. Paul. Fort Worth, St.

Joseph, and East St. Louis, and tbat their output was being Increased daily both In Chicago and Omaha. The said the only way that tbe strike can be settled is by tbe strike leaders calling it off and, allowing the men to return to work. Tbe butcher workmen and allied trades were represented at tbe conference by Prest-J dent Oonnelly, John J. rrtzpatrlck of tbe Chicago Federation of Labor.

Matthew Carr ot the Coopers' union, and Nicholas Gler, president of the Packing Trades council. Tbe labor leaders went over the entire situation with the mayor and the aldermanlc committee, but made no new suggestion tbat would help to bring about peace. Xew Conference for Monday. President Donnelly told Mayor Harrison that be had summoned tbe national executive board here, and that they would seek a conference with tbe packers direct on Monday morning, and If the conference was refused they would again meet the aldermanlc committee. This meeting was set for 1 o'clock Monday afternoon.

After the conference Mayor Harrison said: "The packers made "the same answer to a suggestion for an agreement with their em ployes tbat they njade two weeks ago. They saia mere was no strike in most or tne pack ing "centers. Tbey declared that tn St. Louis they were killing more than they were be fore the strike, and that union teamsters were hauling the meat without complaint. In St.

Paul and Fort Worth they said their output was greater than It had ever been before, and that within a short time it would be up to the normal In Chicago and Omaha. Every time we talked about conditions here the packers would say that the strike i was broken In other places, and they couM not afford to make concessions here." Mayor Speaks at Conference1. "Was any sugestlon made that If tbe strike was declared off the packers would make aa agreement with the men? "I beard nothing of the kind." "Did the strike leaders have any proposi tion to make?" "They asked that negotiations be post poned until as they had called leaders from other cities here for a confer ence, and intended to ask for a conference with the packers Monday. It nothing comes of that they will meet thla committee again. So we adjourned until Monday." President's Envoy- at Meetlsg.

Ethelbert Stewart, an agent of the Department ot Commerce and Labor, was present at both conferences, but merely as a spectator, he said. He asked to be admitted, so that he could make an intelligent report of the entire situation to his department, and neither side objected to his pres ence. He made no suggestions, nowever. nor did he take any part in the discussion. After the strike leaders left the city hall at 4 o'clock they went to the Transit house, and later attended a special meeting ot the conference board of the allied trades to report the progress they had made.

AMhough it is denied by the leaders. It Is known that some of the allied trades are anxious to have the trouble settled, but none of the leaders will take the Initiative in advising that tbe strike be called off. Donnelly May Save t'aton. There Is no doubt, however, that something ot that nature is being considered, or the executive board would not be summoned here at this time. There Is another thing that lends strength to the proposition that tbe packers may agree to open negotiations for an agreement after the strike is called off.

and that Is that they would like to see President Donnelly in control of affairs. The packers have always expressed the highest regard for Donnelly, because of his conservatism, and they have granted concessions to the men that they would not have done had a radical man been at the bead of the organisation. If the organization is completely defeated and the men return to work as Individuals, without hope of an agreement in future. Donnelly may lose his prestige and a more radical leader i get control, who would be continually fomenting trouble. Donnelly had averted a number of strikes within the past two years, ind the packers would prefer do ing business with him rather than with any other man.
