Secretary of State Knox's name will be brought into the "ase undoubtedly if Penrose's charges against Fllnn open up the fight that was made for the seat in the senate made vacant by the death of Quay. Three men were mentioned for the jSenatorship for several days after yuay uieu. inese men were vvuuam Fllnn, Francis L. Robbins, president of the Pittsburg Coal company, and George T.

The yuay obligations am ounted to approximately $450,000. Fllnn followers point to the way Knox happened to become senator to prove that the Pennsylvania progres sive leader didn't offer Penrose the million. If Flynn offered a million, they asked, why did the place go to Knox for $450,000. There is regret express ed that the n. .... of Judge Thomas A.

CoL onel Roosevelt spoke in part as fol low here last night: The Progressive platform is the- llrst platform since the close of the cfv war wnich has fearlessly, fully ind intelligently faced the needs of our people, which has promised ev ervthinir that nuiht to be oromised. an(1 wlll(,h. has promised nothing that nnnot ,)0 .inc gj,t not to be fid- flie(;, j Cttn your attention espeel- ,, h t ' Difttf0rm savs about! business and the trusts, in the nu - tional government two methods of deallne with big business have so far been tried; one that of regulation through the Interstate commerce omrniSBion, the other that of de- struction by means of the anti-trust law.

New York, Aug. 31. William R. Hearst's New York representatives have given out the following state ment made by Mr. Hearst In London. "The people of the United States should ask their representatives in the United States senate a few direct and pertinent questions: "Why was no' attempt made by the Unite,.

"Why was Mr. Archbold allowed to ignore the Instance of proved Stand ard Oil bribery and to make unsup ported allegations I bat had little or nothing to dovlth actual obrrur'!&n?

"Mr. Roosevelt has since denounc ed Mr. Hoot as a corruptionlst, which he Is and was then. Mr. Roosevelt has since pronounced my program rignt, wnicn it is and was then. But Mr. Roosevelt did not feel that Mr. Root wus a corruptlonlst until Mr. , Hoot had opposed him, and Mr. Roosevelt did not realize that the : progressive program was right until he saw where he could benefit by the popular sentiment which had been aroused In its support. "When I and my publications were sustaining the assaults of privileged splraey Is not a question of favor but a question "t tact.

FID CHARGED Of TIFT III Claim that Kansas' Roosevelt Electoral Candidates Used Deception to Get on Ticket. RECORD IS FILED IN TT R STTPRTTlVrii? HfYTTPT Case Will Be Advanced for Im mediate Hearing When Court Convenes on October 14. VVashington, Aug. 31. The fight between the Taft and Roo-evelt forces over the presidential electors' from Kansas was yesterday transferred offi cially from the courts of that state to the supreme court of the United States I mont. Here in Vermont you will, of when the record of the case was liled ', course, understand that your own In the supreme court here. It will be I votes in the state election do not in rushed to the printer so that the court dicute how you will vote in November, may dispose of the case immediately ' but outside of Vermont they won't un upon convening October 14th. The transfer of the record of the litigation was in response to the com mand of Associate Justice Vandevan ter and Associate Justice Pitney, giv en August G at New York, upon the request of the Taft attorneys. The decision of the Kansas coyrts was ad verse to the Tuft followers and the main hope of Taft managers to pro cure the electoral vote of Kansas lies In the light to get the supreme court of the United States to reserve the state supreme court. As shown by the completed record just liled, tl.e Taft forces claim that they have been fraudulently deprived of rights guaranteed them by the four teenth amendment to the United States constitution. It Is charged that the au-caueu u- n, thp Rle-nntures o! the Taft men to their netltinn ns e:imllrttes for electors bv pretending that they were republicans- ground, Weaverville. today was enjoy und as such would be bound by the j cd by a large number of people. Quite rules, regulations and customs of that a number of the Asheville people took party and would support the party's advantage of the special rates of the candidate for president and vlce-pres- j Asheville and East Tennessee railroad ldent. As a matter of fact, it is add-1 which maintained a special schedule ed these candidates did not intend to of a car every -15 minutes throughout be bound by the rules and customs of the better part of the day. Those at the republican party, nor to support j tending from this city included most the party's candidates for president . of the leading democrats. Nearly all and vice-president, unless Theodore of the court house officials went out, Roosevelt was nominated by the re publican party for president. The re sult of this alleged fraud, lt'is clulmed, will be to deprive Taft men of their right to vote for the person selected by them for president, while permit ting other citizen? to vote for the per son selected by them, all notwith standing the requirements of the four teenth amendment that a state shall give all its citizens equal rights and equal protection of the law. The record further declares that the supreme court of Kansas has held the i rights claimed are political instead of judicial questions such as the courts mm- decide. In answer to this, it Is set up' that If the Australian ballot law and the primary election law of Kan sas are to be so Interpreted, these laws are unconstitutional. It is understood that a motion will be made when the court convenes Oc tober 14 to advance the case for im- mediate hearing and that the motion will be granted, so that a decision may be announced before election day.

The people of Asheville will begin to leurn tomorrow how to do without their mail on Sunday. They may be expecting some very Important letters, but unless the friends or business as sociates have used a special delivery stamp they will have to wait for them until Monday. They may also wait longingly for a dally paper, but it will be all In vuln. Early in the week the local post office officials wrote to the department at- Washington asking what Is to be done about the patrons of the office who have had special Sunday boxes since the carriers windows have been closed; but so far nothing has been heard from the communication. It Is not known whether the mail is to lie put in the boxes or the money for the boxes refunded. The order stopping the delivery of Sunday mail, except special delivery matter, requires, however, that all Iran-It mail be kept moving and every bit of mail that comes Into the local office has to be gone over to pick Out the mail for other surrounding points and the special delivery matter. It all has to be handled but cannot even be placed In the distributing boxes. Prom 8 o'clock tonight until mid night Sunday there will be zl malls arriving In Asheville, and this, with the Monday morning mails, will have to be disposed of Monday by the reg ular force, unleB some special ar rangement can be made: and" to make a special arrangement requires extra men and more money, it is a problem how the carriers are to get out at all in the morning; and from the pros pect the rural men will have lo wait until the next day; It Is said. llolsteln Cow Beats Itiitird.
