been the old-fashioned idea of govern
ment They supposed that its benefits
and protections "were to be distributed
and equally shared. It introduced and
rissed a bill which became known as
the Farmers Free List bilL That bill
put many indispensible things on the
free list Most prominent among them
were agriculture implements because
the American farmer pays more for his
agricultural Implements than any other
farmer in the world. The American
manufacturers who make agricultural
implements sell them much cheaper on
the other side of the water. On the
other side they undersell the local
manufacturers of agricultural imple
ments and prove bj- their eagerness of
the foreign business and their rapid
expansion of it that they can afford to
do so even with the additional cost of
the ocean freights.
Credits at the Banks.
"The trustees represent also the big
bankers in whose hands our banking
system is to be manipulated, and no
Republican administration, no Repub
lican congress" has attempted to serve
the farmer as he ought to be served
In the matter of credits. It is prac
tically impossible for the farmer to
borrow money on the kind of securities
ordinarily demanded at the banks. It
does not serve his purpose to borrow it
for the short periods insisted upon by
most bankers. He needs rather long
credits andV he needs the money on his
own kind of security. He can't be
mortgaging his farm -every time he
needs a little money.
"The present Democratic congress has
done nothing better than to provide
for a careful investigation of this sub
ject with a view to early action so that
the law may be fitted to the creation of
these new instruments of business
which these farmers so much needr and
ought to have."
WILSON DISCUSSES
TRUST LEGISLATION
Democratic Nominee For
President Says He Is
Learning All the Time.
Sea Girt. N- J.. Aug. 28. Trust leg
islation, constructive, rather than de
structive, and immigration, were
among the subjects to which governor
Woodrow "Wilson gave his attention.
He talked about trusts with Louis D.
Brandeis, of Boston, and expressed
himself on immigration before a dele
gation of Italians from Essex county..
New Jersey.
The delegation of Italians, through
their spokesman, Antonio Petroni, told
the governor that those who had seen
f.t to criticize his views on immigra
tion had made a mountain out of a
molehill.
The governor in his response said:
"In mv history I referred to condi
tions which did exist when I wrote,
and which afterward were corrected by
legislation.

ASSERTS TAFT IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR CORPORATION CONTRIBUTIONS
Bangor, Me., Aug. 29. The' declara
tion that the protective tariff was re
sponsible for campaign contributions
from corporations, was made at a Dem
ocratic rally here .by governor Marshall
of Indiana, Democratic candidate for
vice president
"Bad as have been the contributions,"
he said, "and vicious as have been the
expenditures of money in the cam
paigns, worse than all has been the
system of protection which has com
pelled the trust magnates to keep
lobbies at Washington, hire lawyers
and finance legislators. Is it much
wonder, when their accessories are
necessary for legislation, that the men
who have been held up by public serv
ants should in turn hold up the public?
"Opposed to high protection, and be
lieving, as I do, that the trust is its
offspring, I cannot see otherwise than
that the investigation we are to have
with reference to the controversy be
tween Messrs. Roosevelt, Archbold.
Penrose and kindred subjects, need
never have been held if the system had
not been in vogue."
BANDANNAS ARE WAVED AS
JOHNSON TALKS IN SALT LAKE
Salt Lake City. Utah. Aug. 29. "In
60 days we will have educated the peo
ple of the United States a quarter of
a century in advance of where they
have been before." asserted governor
Hiram W. Johnson, of California, in his
first public address since he left his
own state on a crusade in behalf of the
Progressive party and his own candi
dacy for the vice presidency of the
United States.
"Full blown and full grown has this
party come into its own. The fight is
already won in this nation for hu
manity and human rights."
His metaphor was suggested by the
sudden blossoming into red and white
of the great audience when the orches
tra struck up a patriotic air. In an
instant a thousand bandannas flashed
from as many pockets as if by magic
and fluttered over the pit and first
gallery of the theater.
Governor Johnson described from his
viewpoint the two national conventions
in Chicago, but gave only passing men
tion to the Republican nominee. He
pitied, he said, "any one so benighted
as to labor under the delusion that the
socalled candidate of the June conven
tion in Chicago is a candidate for presi
dent of the United States."
MUSSELMAN LEADS RACE

Detroit, Mich.. Aug. 29. Results from
49 counties give Amos S. Musselman,

opponent, secretary of state Fred C
Martindale. for the Republican nomin

ceded that Musselman has won.
Fred Lucking, Democrat of Detroit,
is thought to have won the contest in
the United States senatorial race.
Eight aldermen, of the IS under ar

SAYS FLINN OFFERS
TO REMOVE ELECTORS
Hilles Claims Roosevelt
Representative Willing to
Drop Colonel's Men.
New York. N. T., Aug. 29. Charles
D. Hilles, chairman of the Republican
national committee, issued a statement
today covering the alleged agreement
between Tafi representatives and Wil
liam Fllnn, representing Col. Roose
velt in Pennsylvania.' Mr. Hilles said:
"We have received a proposition
from Mr. Flinn in which he has offered
to withdraw the Roosevelt electors
from the Republican ticket and substi
tute Taft electors in their place. The
offer was made by Mr. Klinn in Phila
delphia last Wednesday to Henry G.
Wasson. Republican state chairman,
and William T. Tilden. president of the
Union League club, of Philadelphia."
Mr. Hilles said that, according to
Mr. Wasson, "Mr. Flinn said that Col.
Roosevelt at Chicago had placed him
in charge of matters in Pennsylvania
and he was willinsr to erase the Roose
velt names and replace them with rep- I
resentatlve Republicans who would J
"He said that before he could do
this he must obtain signatures of a
petition naming Roosevelt electors on
a Washington ticket. As the state law
requires three percent of the total vote,
Mr. Flinn estimated that it would take
nearly the whole month of September
to prepare the petitions.
"I assume that Mr. Flinn is able to
do this and that he will do it in good
faith," said Mr. Hilles. "Our only ob
jection to Flinn's Republican state
ticket now is that it has names of
Roosevelt men on it as electors. With
those removed we would not oppose
any of the rest of the ticket"
CLAIM CASH KILLED
A CALIFORNIA MAN
John Cash, a one legged man, said
to be a beggar, who has been in El
Paso for several months, was arrested
Wednesday night by chief of police L
N. Davis, and chief deputy sheriff.
Stanley Good. Cash was taken to the
police station, where he is being held
on a charge of being a suspicious char
acter.
It was alleged that Cash shot and
killed a man on the streets of Los
Angeles, Cal.. about eight months ago. j
Cash was tried on a lunacy charge and
sent to the Insane asylum just out of
Los Angeles. He remained In the
asylum. It was said, two months when
he was released, shortly afterward
coming to El paso.
"I remember." said Cash, in his' cell
at the city jail Thursday morning, talk
ing about the killing, "it was on the
streets of Los Angeles, but what street
I do not remember. I do not -remember
the name of the man. I Just shot.
I don't know who I hit."
Chief Davis stated that he was in
formed that Cash, although apparently
very sane at times, was subject to
maniacal fits. ?jid it was difficult to
tell just when these fits would come
on. It was considered best to have the
man where he could not do any harm.
Cash has been a familiar figure in
El Paso for months. His favorite po
sition in the city was sitting on the
brass railing of the steps of the Amer
ican National bank on San Antonio
street. There he would sit throughout
the day. accepting whatever alms were
offered to him. Ca3h told the chief
of police that he supported himself in
this way. it is not known yet just what
disposition will be made of his case.

ROOSEVELT MAKES
ATTACK ON PENROSE
Also Pays His Respects to
John D. Archbold in His
Vermont Speech.
Bennington, Vt, Aug. 29. An attack
on senator Penrose of Pennsylvania and
John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil
company, was made here today by CoL
Theodore Roosevelt in opening his
"Vermont campaign. He assailed Mr.
Archbold and senator Penrose for their
testimony before the senaie campaign
contributions investigating committee.
"We have been saying for some time,"
said CoL Roosevelt, "that I was opposed
by an alliance between big Interests
and now John D. Archbold of the
Standard Oil company and senator Pen
rose jump up to say It is true."
Col. Roosevelt read from the testi
mony of Mr. Archbold and senator
Penrose before the senate committee.
As soon as these men had testified, he
said, "they let Mr. Archbold go off to
Europe and they scattered to the four
winds and refused to let me testify. I
am as well satisfied by the unconscious
testimony for me of Messrs. Archbold
and Penrose. Their testimony, stripped
of Its verbiage, reads not unlike some
of the testimony that appears in some
cases of police protection to the under
world in our great cities.
"Mr. Archbold and senator Penrose
testified that Mr. Bliss had attempted
to blackmail the Standard Oil company.
Mr. Archbold did not complain because
he was blackmailed. What he com
plained of was that he did not get the
goods. Penrose testified that he tried
to blackmail the Standard Oil com
pany by saying that If It did not con
tribute, it mjght Incur hostility in cer
tain quarters. As the senator has ad
mitted what he has done, he should be
thrown out of the United States senate.
The man writes his own condemnation
down himself."
The colonel said that today he had
met James R. Garfield, who was a mem
ber of his cabinet, and who had told
him that at the time the Standard Oil
company contribution was supposed to
have been made the government had
been investigating the oil company for
18 months. The suit was brought, he
said, and the result of It was to show
that whether or not the oil corporation
did contribute, it had no influence with !
his administration.
TAFT TELLS FARMERS
VETO IS NECESSARY
Says It Is Duty of President
to Exercise the Power
Fearlessly.
Columbus, O., Aug. 29. President
Taft publicly explained today his ex
ercise of the veto power. In his speech
to a great crowd of farmers- on the
state fair grounds here, he declared
that a president who did not use the
veto power when he thought it should
be used proved himself a coward.
"Some of my friends say." said the
president." that if a king had used the
veto power as I have, his head would
drop in the basket. But I am not a
king and that is very different. The
president has the power, and it is his
duty if he does not approve legislation
to veto it. He must use the veto when
his conscience tells him. whether his
head drops in the besket or not. If
presidents are men and most of them
are they will exercise the veto when
they think they ought
"Look over the vetoes of other presi
dents and show me the bad ones, and
I will show you more made good. Our
forefathers thought that it was well
to have one man who would represent
all the people and who would be able
to tell all the people when he saw leg
islation that he did not believe was
good. The veto is an excellent thing.
My friends who criticize me forget
that I was elected Just as they were
and by a good many more people than
they were7'
The president spoke to the farmers
of legislation which congress had en
acted for their benefit and promised
that other legislation would follow.
