H Thomas A. Edison, the grent inventor, has been interviewed on H politics, and this is -what ho says: H "I ani a Progressive because I'm young at 65. You see, this is a H pretty rA, crude civilization of ours; pretty wasteful, pretty cruel. H Onr production, our factory laws, our charities, our relations between H capital and labor, our distribution all wrong out of genr. You can H see I'd naturally be for the party which (Somes nearest to going to the H bottom of things and setting them right the Progressive party and H Theodore Roosevelt. "We're coming to a new era, and we've got to H have a big, strong, honest man at the hend. Roosevelt's that man. I Hj go the whole way with him. H ""We can Just forget the Republican party, and I was an old-line H Republican before I woke up. And nearly all the Democrats offer is H honest application of the old stuff. I've heard that campaign after H campaign until I'm sick of it. We go on wasting our resources, wid- H ening the gap between work and pay, our government generations be- H hind our industries, or invention everything. H "If we're putting to rights a factory that has gone wasteful and H behind the times, we try to learn the up-to-date method of setting it H right, and then we get the best manager wo can find. And that's H Roosevelt. "We never needed a big leader more. "We want a strong H forceful man with ideas. He's all that. He's proved it. H "I guess I've made you see why I am a Progressive. First, it's H the only square bid I've seen to begin at the foundation and rebuild; H and last, and just as important, it's T. R." H .ROOSEVELT ON THE WITNESS STAND. H Theodore RooBevelt, in his testimony before the senate committee H on campaign contributions, spiked the guns of the opposition most H successfully. He has left the peddlers of nasty insinuations in a most H -unenviable position H The more the question of campaign contributions is aired, the H more evident is the sterling integrity of the former President. M At the beginning of this campaign the Harriman fetters were be- H ing widely quoted by the standpat press. During this investigation H the Harriman correspondence was submitted to the committee by H C. 0. Tegethoff, former secretary to Harriman, and now an executor H of the Harriman estate. It showed that Harriman had urged the H appointment of William H Stillwell as United States judge in Ari- M zona and th'at Stillwell was not appointed. It revealed the fact that H Harriman had. protested against the appointment of E. A Fowler as H territorial governor of Arizona on the ground that Fowler was a par- H tisan of the Santa Fe railroad. But Fowler was appointed and Colo- H nel Roosevelt informed Harriman that if Fowler favored the Santa H Fe or any other railroad he would "wring his neck the same as I H would a chicken." H Harriman's money failed to bring results, whether contributed H to Roosevelt or OSell, and that, after all, is the test. Vj, Yesterday, Roosevelt, on the witness stand, stated in reference to My the-Harriman fund of $250,000, raised in 1904, that the statements of iJ o. P. Morgan, George R. Sheldon and others had fully corroborated Wtj his earlier statements that 'this fund was raised expressly for the New Kj York state camp'aign and had not been solicited by him for his own KJ support in the fight for election that year. Wj& "There was not one word spoken by Mr.Harrhnan or by me having gjj any reference to any collection of fundB for the national campaign," K?i he said, referring to his interview with Mr. Harriman in October . 1004. IftJ "n the contrary, the request was from Mr. Harriman that inas- Mt much as we had amplo funds for the national campaign, and as thd national campaign swas safe, we could help him out in the state cam- B paign." H "I have actually sent for while I was president trust magnates, H labor leaders, Socialists, John L. Sullivan, 'Battling Nelson"- there R was a pause "and Dr. Lyman Abbott.'' Ml This was in response to questions as to the propriety of his send- H ing for E. H, Harriman in 1904 to discuss matters of legislation or ; campaign affairs. "If I am elected president," he added, "if Mr. Rockefeller or H7. any one else wants to see me, 111 see him." K Again, when Senator Pomerene asked if some corporations did ;'l not expect returns for their contributions, Colonel Roosevelt declared H-J emphatically. Hi "As a practical man of high ideals, who has always endeavored P THE BULL MOOSE WIN I j BE tfHE EVENING STANDARD, OGDEN, UTAH. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1912. fl to put his high ideals into practice, I thinlc any man who would be lieve that he would get any consideration from making any contribu tion to me, was either a crook or a fool." The standpatters on the committee were so completely defeated that they felt a sense of relief when Roosevelt left the witness chair. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT. When George Sutherland appeared before Sherman to notify the New York politician that he had been named for vice president on the Republican ticket, the Utah senator mournfully related how repre sentative government is being threatened with destruction. Representative government was destroj-ed when Sutherland was elected by the secret forces of "big business," and representative government was again destroyed when Lorimer, by corruption, ob tained his seat in tho United States senate and later was supported by such men as Sutherland. The worst blows that representative government has received have come from the Sutherlands, the Lorimcrs, the Penroscs and men of their stripe. ' i STRAW VOTES ARE TAKEN. ' On a Denver & Rio Grande train arriving in Ogden yesterday .afternoon a polkof the passengers was taken with this result: Roosevelt 64. Wilson 42, Taft 6. And yet some one has said Taft is gaining and Roosevelt is losing strength. That is an old campaign trick, to claim much and concede nothing. In Denver! a straw vote of the Denver Master Builders gave Roosevelt 35, Wilson 7, Taft 2, and Debs 1. A poll in a packing house on Market street gave Roosevelt 20, Wilson 2, and Taft 1. A poll taken in several prominent industrial establishments at Jamestown, N. Y., gave these results : Roosevelt. Wilson. Taft. F. M. Curtis Co. ,. .. 57 U 2 Atlas Furniture No. 1 35 & 4 Atlas Furniture No. 2 28 U 12 Union Furniture- Co 70 '1 0 Star Furniture Co 25 -h. 0 Jamestown Window Screen Co 20 .,1 2 Chautauqua Planing Mill 20 17 S Jamestown Mantel Co ; . 60 ;-2 4 Ekman Furniture Co 40 3 2 The results of a poll taken from 450 farmers at the Otsego. Mich., county fair at Gaylord, Mich., last week, gave Wilson 35, undecided 8, Taft 7, Roosevelt 400. Still some Detroit papers claim the state for Taft. Of late the straw votes have been so unsatisfactory to the old parties that they have stopped taking them, simply acknowledging there is a great silent vote which no one can fathom. The silent vote is an ominous sign of a coming stoiin which will break on November 5 next and engulf the old parties. ; 1 1 THE MEN OF BINGHAM. I The men of Bingham are disappointed in Governor Spry. They had hoped he would lean to the side of exact justice and, instead of doing the bidding of the mine owners, offer to the struggling work men an opportunity to be heard. That the governor has failed is borne out by this message, which came over the wires of. the Associ ated Press last night : Salt Lake City, Oct 4. "We consider the position of the governor as positively in favor of the mine owners," was the concluding (sentence In the statement ieaued by the leaders of the striking copper miners of Bing ham after a meeting- in Salt Lake today at which Charles H. Moyer, pres ident of tho Western Federation of Miners, presided. ' "Wo do not ask the governor to bring about a settlement as we would have it." tho statement recites, "but we do think that his dutv as gover nor of tho state of Utah should be to use his authority to bring about a conference whereby the plain facts in the case mav be discussed and weighed as to their real merits." After the meeting Mr. Moyer left Salt Lake for Colorado. Quiet still reigns at Bingham. General Manager Jackling In his prl vato car paid his first visit to tho camp since tho strike began today. Af ter his departure men began drawing the water from the boiiers of the steam shovels, something that would scarcely be done if their early uso was contemplated. t Greeks among the minors are leaving in increasing numbers since the call to arm3 has been Issued by their own government. The true test of a man's goodness of heart or the degree to which he holds to high ideals is not to be found in the lip service of himself, or his friends, but in his acts in times of stress. ' When the great coal strike was on a few years ago, the mine owners appealed to Roosevelt, seeking the armed forces of the United States with which to overawe the strikers. There had been some riot ing and'a few shots had been exchanged. On that showing the "big interests" demanded that troops were necessary "to preserve peace." They said that first peace should be restored and lator grievances might be considered. President Roosevelt replied that the sophistry was too shallow ; that when great numbers of men were provoked info striking human nature told him that some of the men ivould overstep the bounds of peace, but that such infractions of the law did not war rant the government in crushing by force of arms the aggrieved, but pointed to the necessity of inquiring into the conditions which brought about the strike in order to fix responsibility for the disor ders. If all men were angelic and by mistreatment could not be an gered or driven desperate, and if all men when desperate would' maintain their mental equipoise and would not do rash things, then violence during a labor upheaval might be accepted as contrary to all law, human or divine. But while men arc men, suffering abuses and feeling deeply the wrongs inflicted on them there would be overt acts not wholly in keeping with orderly government. In a labor strike, the merits of the conflict should be inmiired into, and not until the two sides have been impartially weighed should the strong arm of the government be lifted for or against' the strikers. Had Governor Spry acted with the same impartiality as did Pres ident Roosevelt, and had he won the confidence! of the strikers by offering them a fair hearing, the strike would have been over by this time and peace re-established.

IS AGAINST UNION LABOR Gov. Johnson Says Wil son Has Opposed Or ganization of Labor Blnghamton, N.Y., Oct. 5. Governor Johnson, in an address here la9t night attempted to show hJs audience that Govomor Wilson's attitude toward un ion labor is not tho same that he took in 1909 while connected with Prince ton unlvorfllty. The California oxecutlve said In part: "I read tho other day In a Massa chusetts newspaper friendly to tho Democratic president bJs utterances in New England In reference to the right of labor to organize. I gathered that he "was endeavoring to express a great sympathy with union labor. Viv idly there came to me tho words or the Democratic candidate, uttered at the Princeton commencement In 1909. "He then said, 'The tendency of the modorn labor union is to glvo em ployers s little labor as possible for the amount they receive. No one is suffered to do more than the average workman can do. No one may work out of hours at all or volunteer any thing beyond tno minimum. I need not point out to you how economically disastrous Bnch a regulation of labor is. It Is so unprofitable to tho em plyer than in.somo grades It will pres ently not be worth while to attempt anything at all our economic suprem acy may be lost because the country grows more and more full of unpro fitable service.' "I leavo to you without comment the views of Prof. WllBon in 1909 and those of Candidate Wilson In 1912. Which constitute the real vlows of Mr Wilson you may determine for yourselves." Governor Johnson spoke here In the opera house. During the day be mado apecches at Wayland, Bath and Cor ning. This Tvas tho governor's last day in upstate territory He left last nlsht for Now York City. REGISTRATION DAYS AND HOW TO REGISTER The question of registration is one that deserves the attention of all vot er at tills time and every effort should be mado to understand what is re quired. It is a certainty that no one will be permitted to vote November 5 unless he is duly registered. The law provides for registration and It is very explicit as to how it shall be dono. The days remaining for registration are October S, 9, 15 and 30 and only on those dayB will tho registration offices bo open. Registration cannot bo done by proxy, it bolng imperative that each voter appear in person and make oath that he Is eligible and have his name placed on tho book. At times these registration book3 are revised and names that were once on them aro taken off, so It is well for i one to see to It that his name has not i been stricken from the list The only i way to do this is to go to the regis" tration office. unose wno voted in the city a year ago or in the countv two years ago stilh havo their names on the books but those who were registered and did not vote aro not on the books. Each person entitled to the electht franchise must register In the voting district where he resides and If, after he registers, ho moves to another district, he must have his name transferred from the list of his for Jmer residence. The registration offi cers are required to give certificates of transfer when called for. A trans fer may be secured at any time and on any day prior to election day, but not election dav It must bo borne in mind, however, that voters can register their names on the voting lists only on the davs 'above stated.
