ACCUSED OF USING
MAILS 10 DEFRAUD
PHOENIX, Oct 8--lTnited States
Marshal Diegle of the Southern dis
trict of California arrived in the city
with W. L. Bassoli charged with using
the mails to defraud. He was brought
here on an order of removal from
the Southern district of California.
The order was made last summer but
as there would be no grand jury here
until today, Bassoli, who knew noth
ing about the climate of Phoenix ex
cept what he had read in untruthful
papers, begged to be allowed to swel
ter in Los Angeles rather than to
come to this city before his presence
was actually required.
Bassoli is the' inventor of a pipe
wrench for the manufacture and sale
of which he and others had been or
ganizing a company and selling stock.
A great deal of it was sold to Italian
residents 6f 'this vicinity and more
about Blsbee, Globe and other towns
in the southern part of this state. It
is claimed that while the invention"
of Bassoli is probably a good one,
claims were made in 'the literature
sent out that were not sustained by
the facts.

"The saddest words of tongue or pen
Are words that were not wired then."
To .William Barnes, Republican Con
vention Hall, Chicago:
Do not nominate me if the votes of
stolen delegates are necessary. Re
gard this as a moral and not a politi
cal question, Remember that the
rank and file of our party in direct
primary states were nearly two to
one against me. They probably feel
that we are too reactionary. My de
sire to serve the people again is in
significant in comparison to upholding
in our party the standards of common
honesty. Show this message to Root
and say that whoever may be the
nominee, the old Republican party
must go before the people with clean
handsx

To Woodrow Wilson:
As a man familiar with large busi
ness, I know full well the foolishness
of fighting to break up the trusts by
lawsuits. Taft tried this and it was
a farce, comedy. Standard Oil, Ameri
can Tobacco and the rest of them love
it, and grow rich on it. We cannot
fool the people. The day to restore-
competition with a trust is to prevent
that trust from usipg unfair means to
keep a grip on its monopoly. Govern
ment regulation is what I have advo-
ated. The great body of- laboring
men and capitalists know I am right.
Call off Brandeis on this subject. He
bas a bad habit of misrepresenting
his opponents. This may result in in-
iury to you.
WILLIAM McADOO.
To Charley Murphy, of New York and
John F.. Fitzgerald, of Massachu
setts: I did not seek your support in ob
taining my nomination for president, J
and I do, not wish to solicit it in this
campaign. Let this be your notice
that I am aware of the character of
the political machines which you con
trol and which represent' financial in
terests with sinister purposes. I in
tend to rid the New York and Massa
chusetts democracy of your domin
ance, and the Democratic party of
bosses. I believe the voters of the
country will approve my course.
WOODROW WILSON.

greater work of national journalism,
To Champ Clark:
I assume that I was partly instru
mental in procuring jthe nomination
of Woodrow Wilson and in blocking
your nomination. I thought at the
time that Wilson was an ideal pro
gressive. I find however, that in spite
of good intentions, he is out of sym
pathy with the people. He was born
an aristocrat and has spent his day.'
in an exclusive University atmosphere.
This accounts! for his unfortunate re
marks against the honored name of
Thomas Jefferson, against foreign-born
laborers in favor of freer Chinese im
migration, against a minimum wage
for women, to protect motherhood; etc.
I fear he fails to grasp the signifi
cance of true progress. Possibly I
have made a grave mistake. Forgive
me and regard this as strictly confi
dential until the campaign is over.
, WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.
To John Smith, Laborer:
In answer to your inquiry about the
Democratic tariff plank, let me be
honest and frank. It is probably true
that the tariff revision proposed
would cause a violent disturbance in
the business world, the greatest suf
fering, as always, to be borne by the
wage-earners. The statement in our
platform that a tariff .for protection
was unconstitutional was a new one
on me. I don't wonder you are puzzled
about that. You ask what "tariff for
revenue only" means. No one can
answer because it all depends upon
how much revenue we desire to raise.
A "tariff for revenue only'' means as
much as the question, "How large is
niece of ice," or "How old have you
ever seen young pigs?" The truth of
the matter is that all this is. pure bun
combe. I ought to know. Rut don't
quote me.
OSCAR UNDERWOOD.
To Senator Penrose:
Your plan to discredit Roosevelt by
talking about campaign contributions
will fail unless you obtain some one
held in high esteem. How about Chas.

not have occasion to consult or em
ploy the latter in regard ot this instru
