VIGOROUS REPLY
TO BEVERIDGE:
j Describes the Political Boss, and
j Declares That Every Republi?
can Leader in This Genera?
tion Has Been in League
With Heads of Great
Trusts.
J CalaaffO. September IC? Through
Ohio and Indiana Governor Woodrow,
; Wilson did um? impromptu carnpaign
j Ing to-day that was as vigorous as it
j was unexpected. No prerlous arrange
', ment had been made for speeches, and
i the train schedule was twisted by de?
lays early in the day, but crowd*
gathered along the route and Governor
Wilson made nearly a dozen speeches
; Irom his nr. He replied to torru?-r
Senator Bevcrldge. ot Indiana, who
charged in a recent speech that Gov
,'inor Wilson, if elected, would be
boas-4 < ntroHed.
Btat ) Senator Fred Klstn'-r and
Mayor Pickle, of Logansport. Indiana,
boarded the train and told Wilson
about Mr. Beveridge's speech so that
when the Democratic candidate r.-ached
Eogansport he hit at Mr. Beveridge to
a large crowd.
?I understand that in a speech made
last Saturday night." said Governor
Wilson, a very much esteemed fn?nd
of mine, namely Senator Beveridge,
said that he entertained a very seri- j
ous fear a out me. namely that If 1 1
were elected President I would be ?
controlled by the bosses. 1 nevei '
suspected before that Senator Bever- j
idge was a humorist, because if he:
did not know that was a joke, he I
ought to have known that it was a
joke. When did he ever hear that 1
had changed ail my political habits?,'
UeSaltion of Boas.
"The way you can tell whether a j
man is going to be controlled by the j
bosses or not. is to judge wnether
ha is in reach of a boss or not. Do J
you know what a hoss is? A boss is!
a pelltlral agent of certain special in?
terests who see to it. th ougn him. i
that people they can control ar.j put
in office and that laws they don t want!
are k?pt off f-te statute books, and
I the men who do that are th?- men who <
' are interested in the great monopolies
Of this country.
-I am sorry to observe that whereas ;
the Republican party has practically
festered the trusts and the Democratic
?arty proposes to prerent monopoly in |
this country, the Third Party, repre- ?
sented by Senator Beveridge, propose
to take the monopoly into partnership ;
with the government by accepting it j
as an inevitable necessity, and bringing
it under the regulation of law?that is
to say, making it a legalised institu?
tion of the country. And when the :
men who have created monopoly are
accepted partners of the government.
So you suppose they are going to dis
pa use with the men who are their nec- j
tssary agents, namely, the bosses whej
determine who are to occupy office and j
what the legislation is to be?"
-Who created monopoly?' interrupted j
a man in the crowd, and he repeated
his question several times.
"The men who created monoptw-.
my friend, to answer your question."
continued the Governor, "are the men
who have taken advantage of protec?
tive tariff to get ogethcr to make
great combinations of industry ro shut
out competition and to make sure that
the prices are in their own control.
And every Republican leader In our
generation has been in league with
those men."
Reply Brtas~a Cheers.
"Who are they?" broke in another
voice, and the Governor's reply brought
cheers.
"They are the men who have set up
the great trusts." be said. "Every?
body knows the list of them. These
men are the heada of the steel trust,
of the tobscco trust, of the Standard
Oil trust and of all the other trusts?
that everybody knows. I am surprised
that you did not know the names or
tbem before. These men have sup?
ported those who have controlled our
government in the last fifteen yesrs.
and they are supporting them still.
And I for my part do not entertain
any hope of the government of the i
I'nlted States being freed from the con?
trol <t trusts and the control of bosses
who are the agents of trusts througn
the instrumentality of the adoption ot
the trusts into the care of the govern?
ment Itself.'
The Governor was well recedved ',
throughout the day. He shook hands
with people who flocked to th?. rear I
platform and waved greetings to those
not so near. The nominee left Chicago

', that agency will distribute the money.
'. Ther. will be no other public record,

j This secrecy, commented the Gov

remain la the hands of the detective
agency nor of its members. They are
. not permitted to work for rewards nor
to receive them. Th*- State or the in?
dividual pays definite sums for ser?
vices performed, and this covers the ;
compensation.
The total reward offered for the
two men is tXMt by the State of
Virginia and tS^O by the United
State?. Of this sum. the Governor of
fered tl.OO? for information leading
to the capture of Sidna Allen and $560
for his arrest, making a total of $1,

$500 was proposed to be paid for in?
formation leading to a discovery of
, his whereabouts and $J0o for his ar
; rest. In addition, the Department of
' Justice, in Washington, has offered
?50" reward for Sidna Allen, who re?
cently forfeited his bond. He is
charged with perjury in connection j
with his testimony in a counterfeiting!
prosecution.

Touching- the part played by the
girl, Maude Iroler. in the captute of;
the fugitives. Governor Mann has no;
information to give W. G. Baldwin.!
who is in possession of the details. ,
has made a statement to the effect
that the girl did not betray her lov?
er. Wesley Edwards, but was the in?
nocent cause of his apprehension.
This statement will be accepted by the i
Governor, who has not been informed
Sf all the details in the search for I
the accused murderers. While hr I
knew that it was hoped to catch the j
men through the affection of Edwards
for the girl, he does not know if she
proved S traitor to her affianced.
The long search for the two men.
lasting six months to the day. has
been costly, but the Governor fe'ls it
has been worth it. It is probable that
the cost Will reach close up to 113.000
exclusive of the reward. This, of
course. Includes only the work of the
detective agency in prosecuting th<
hunt for all the family, and in guard?
ing the prisoners in the Hillsville and
WythevUle Jalla If the cost of Juries,
witnesses, fees snd Judicial expenses
are considered, the total will be large.
I aexyladaed Shoes.
To Sidna Allen Is attributed a State?
ment made in Roanoke to tbe effect
that he is certain he did not shoot
anybody In the courtroom murders.
This has been characteristic of the
prisoners throughout the entire series
of trials. Floyd Allen swore that he
fired three shots, no one of which took
effect. Claude Swanson Allen testified'
that he fired only at Dexter Goad. who|
was slightly wounded. FTiel Allen
SSM he fired once at Commonwealth's {

of the hazing tragedy at considerable
length. It showed that Dr. Venable I

of Solicitor S. M. GatUs at the cor?
oner's Inquest. H's report to the ex?
ecutive committee treated especially
the testimony of young Wellons, Ranu =
room-mate, who was also haxed. as
showing that the hazers called Rand
and Wellons to their room door; that
the two freshmen realised that they
were to be hazed. They went with
the hazers to the athletic field, where
Wellons was maJe to mount the bar?

?The Wbltchness of Thus." He ?n
s:st?". that he could not hsndie this

! tion, has issued a call for a meeting
! next Saturday, which la expected, to
I bring to Charleston representatives of
- business organisations throughout
West Virginia, coal operators and
miners.
Five witnesses testified before the
Mine Investigating Commission to-day.
One of them, airs. Birdie Furdie, who
lived in a tent at Holley's Grove, said:
"Mine guards fired several volleys
through my tent I ha a baby it. my
arms, but fortunately neither of us was
harmed."

Reese Workman testified he was ar?
rested October a year ago by a mine

The reply of the coal operators to

On Board Richmond Boosters- Spe
clal Train. Raleigh, X. C. September 16.
?Carrying the message of closer busi?
ness relations to half a dozen pros?
perous Kastern Carolina cities during;
the day, the Richmond Booster train
arrived in Raleigh late this afternoon
in time for the Booster party to ba
royally received. With typical boost?
ing spirit, the builders of bigger busi?
ness for Richmond have been at it
every possible moment, marching tu
the strains of the Boosters* band
through the streets of city after city,
responding to the welcome addresses
of the local officials, distributing sam?
ples, souvenirs and literature all
planned to advertise Richmond.
1 Mayor Alnalie touched ahe. keynota
of the trip in his speech-at the first
stop this morning at Rocky Mount
when he said:
"We do not come here for trade that
properly belongs to the merchants of
Rocky Mount, but when you cannot get
what you want in Rocky Mount, buy it
in Richmond."
??Buy it la RlehsseneV?
As a result, the Mayor's "Buy it in
Richmond" has been adopted as the
slogan of the trip, and It Is carried on
banners through the streets.
Starting from Richmond over the
Seaboard Air Line Railroad early this
morning aboard a special train drawn
by a Richmond made locomotive, the
Boosters requested the various railway
lines which will handle the train in th*
Carolinas, if possible, to use only Rich,
mond engines for the entlrs trip, for
the Boosters recogniie the principle
of patronising home industry, merely,
as the Mayor put it. "When yon can't
get what you want at home, why. buy
it in Richmond."
The cars of the special train are not
overcrowded and the party is conge?
nial. It was an experience to many
this morning t) run for miles thsoug.v
fields in which cotton was being picked
and u stop at stations pied high with
the baled staple. Some very interest?
ing novelties are being distributed on
the cars by the various business firms
taking part in the trip.
Starting from Raleigh at 5 o'clock:
to-morrow morning, the Boosters wtU
visit Fayetteville. Maxton. Bennetta
ville. Florence and Sumter. reaching
Columbia at 6:25 o'clock, in time f>r
a special celebration in that city to?
morrow night.

Band led in a parade of the well-Iignt-.-d,'
and well-paved streets, reaching the
Audit ori um at s:30 o'clock.
The building was a revelation, being,,
in taste, convenience and location, IMS
ahead jf any such building in Rich?
mond- Mr. Cox presided, welcoming,
the Richmond Boosters and g'ving it!
as his conviction that did time permit
for the North Carolina capital city to
be properly shown they would also be?

kinship tbM bind the brst people or
Viiginia and the Carolinas.

Mayor Aicalie responded, compli?
menting the City Audtorium. saying
that the Raleigh pople had at the
very outset brought the Rlchmonders
to the very plan- where thev couM
show them something.
" In our day of i--:ting the cities of
North Carolina said Mayor Aliul >,
"we have received * warm. ger.Ue, un?
ostentatious welcome that has made see
understand for the nrst time why the/
speak of Carolinians as 'd jwn hom?
ers.' "
The Mayor's speech brought muct
applause at his mention of names ot
prominent Otroinians. now leaders in
the business and educational world ot
I Richmond and of Virginia.
