IN THE SEUATE
Republican llajority Bsduced to
Seven nppo!rjiment
' ' ,f of jQardrvei of Maine.
--PwtjiaC Me.', Sept. 25tfc. Governor
Planted has appointed, Obediah Gardner
of Rockland, U. S. Senator to sueceed
tiie late Senator William P. Prye. This
gives, Maine two Democratic ' senators
and reduces the Republican -majority in
the Senate to seven. '
Mr. Gardner was the Democratic can-'
didate for governor in 190C, and was in
the race for the senate when Senator
Charles F. Johnson was elected last
January.' He has a large farm near
Rockland and has served several terms
as master of the State Grange.
The appointment of Mr. Gardner is
for the unexpired term ending Marcb
4, 1913. Party candidates for the full
term will be nominated in primaries
next June. ,
The accession of Obediah Gardner, pf
Maine, as a Democratic appointee from
a state for many years a stronghold of
he Republican party will have a mate
rial effect on the voting strength on im
portant questions in the senate. When
he takes the oath of office ihe Demo
crats in that body, lacking but 4 votes
of a majority on any matter, will be
nearer to control of the upper branch of
Congress than that at anytime for a
decade past. The Republican represen
tation will stand at 49 and the Dem
crats at 42, there being one vacancy
from Colorado.
In the recent extra session the tariff
measures were put through the senate
by alignment of progressive Republi
cans with the Democrats and the aid of
even four of the progressives would en
able the full Demoaratic strength of the
senate to carry out its will on all issues.
While Mr. Gardner is not known of
either House of Congress who happen
to be in Washington now, it ia expected
that his course will be aligned with that
of his Democratic colleague', Snalor
Johnson. Representatives Hinds and
Guernsey will at the next session be
the only Republicans in the entire con
gressional delegation of two senators
and four representatives.

New York, Sept 25 The sugar trust,
which was convicted recently ef rob
bing the Government by means ot false
weights, is now said to' be 'making a
profit of $200,000 a day oyer and above
its preffta at the ' beginning of July,.
when the price of sugar was increased.
Another quarter of a cent a pound has
just lieen added to the wholesale price,

the additional profits of , the trust in
that short time have amounted to $14,
OfiO.000 Last June SO the trust was
charging 4 3-4 cents a pound. Assum
ing ttiat today it is obtaining only 6.75
cents, which it ostentatiously adver

figures is 2 cents a pound, or $10 a tin
of 3,000 pounds. The trust sells 5,000
tons of sugar every working day of the
week. Consequently the additional
profit to the trust on its own figures is
$200,000 a day. Washington B. Thomas,
head of the trust, is red cent as to the
immediate plans of the 'sugar people.

St Louis. Sept. 25 Beginning the
real "winning of the West" President
Taft has crossed the Mississippi, and
begun his Western campaign with three
speeches in St. Louis.
That the campaign will be one of de
fense and defiance was the unammoiis
opinion of those who heard the Presi
dent in his impassioned speeches at
Peoria yesterday.
"t accept responsibility for every
thing I have done. I could not do oth
erwise. If the people do not like it.
then they may repudiate me."
That is" the attitude of the President
aa he prepared to invade the solidly In
surgent territory of Kansas and Iowa,
where he will spend the next two
weeks. The President, deeply affected
by the defeat of reciprocity, the bitr
issue upon which he haJ placed great j
dependence, is in for a do-or-die ficlit.
"I will go through with this trip, no
matter what happetiH," he paid.
Mr. Taft's reception throughout was
the most cordial and demnnRtrative he
has received on any of his previous
visits to the city. He was the guest of
the Million Population Club and during
bis long automobile ride s iw all of the
territory that St, Louis now covers and
all its citizens expect it to cover in the
next few years in their climb toward
the million mar.
At breakfast with the Mercantile
Club the President teferrtd briefly to
Canadian reciprocity. He declared him
self content wit the outcome, for as a
lawyer, he had learned th.-'t "when a
decision hits you right between the
eyes, the best thing to do is to sit still.'
Mr. Taft said he believed and sti 1 be
lieves that reciprocity would inure to
the benefit of both countries.
