TRUSTS T. R.

(Harvester Truet Perkins and Steel

•j'S Half of Total Amount
!.? --.j. Contributed.
Roosevelt's cry of "Stop thief," has
succeedd in diverting public at
., tention from the liberal support which
"fco is receiving from the big trusts.
Among the significant contributions to
the third party campaign funds the
past week were those of George W.
Perkins, a director of the Harvester
Trust, and Frank A. Munsey, ot the
Bteel Trust, for $15,000 each. Perkins
•ays that more will be forthcoming
when needed. He cannot be charged
with ingratitude.
The Harvester Trust was organized
during Roosevelt's administration with
paper capitalization of one hundred
and thirty million dollars. The tangi
ble assets upon which this vast
•mount of watered stock was issued
amounted at the time to only thirty
millions of dollars. Ex-Senator Hans
brough of North Dakota declares that
a word from Roosevelt, who was then
president, would have prevented the
formation of this great combine. But
the word was not spoken. The deal
went through and the farmers who buy
Harvester Trust implements have been
lielping to pay the dividends on this
«xbra one hundred millions of watered
stock ever since. Later in the Roose
velt administration the department of
justice, on its own initiative, was
about to begin prosecution against this
trust for violation of the Sherman
law. But Mr. Perkins appealed to his
friend. President Roosevelt, and by
the president's personal order the pro
ceedings were stopped. Mr. Perkins
lias not been a power in the White
House during the present administra
tion, and by direction of President Taft
suit is now pending to dissolve tbe
Harvester Trust. Is it any wonder
that Mr. Perkins contributes liberally
to the third term campaign fund?
And is it any wonder that Mr. Frank
A. Munsey Is equally liberal, when it
it Temembered that he ,ig
r'a',lt«6sti.vy
stockholder in the Steel Trust, whose
«offers were enriched to the extent ot
sixty millions of unearned dollars by
the absorbtion of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company, its most danger
ous competitor—an absorbtion which
a recent congressional investigation
declares to have been plainly against
the law, and which never would have
been made except for the promise ob
tained in advance from President
Roosevelt that the law would not be
Invoked against it?
These are not campaign slanders.
They are acknowledged and undis
puted truths. And they are set down
bere merely to make it clear why it
-happens that George W. PerkinB, a
director of the Harvester Trust, and
Frank A. Munsey, heavily Interested
the Steel Trust, can afford to be
generous with their funds in financing
the third term campaign. They found
-Colonel Roosevelt a friend indeed
when he was last in the White House,
and from their voint of view they are
fdlly warranted in drawing upon their
plethoric bank accounts to put him
Iwck again.

Bloody Clashes Between Po
lice and Strikers.
BATTLE WAGED FURIOUSLY
Dozens in the Hospitals Suffering
From Various Injuries and the Po
lice Station Crowded With Men and
Women Prisoners.
Lawrence, Mass., Oct 1.—Rioting,
as serious as any which occurred dur
ing the great textile strike of last
winter, broke out here shortly before
a. m.
As a result of clashes between po
lice and Ettor protest strikers dozens
are in the hospital with broken heads
and the police station is crowded with
prisoners, including men and women.
Few of the prisoners are free from
bruises and cuts.
During the most serious rioting at
ISssex and Union streets, when a
squad of municipal and state police
charged a crowd of 1,000, a squad of
newspaper men, who were following
the charging line of the police, were
set upon by the officers and only by
quick dodging and running were they
saved from a clubbing.
A Boston Traveler photographer,
who was not as quick as tbe others in
dodging, was clubbed to the ground
and his camera -kicked to pieces by
the infuriated police.
As the newspaper reporters were
chased down a side street they ex
postulated, only to be told "they had
no business" there.
Army of Pickets on Duty.
Long before daylight, and despite
unseasonably cold weather, a picket
line of 2,000 or more surrounded ihe
Wood Washington and- Ayer iaitts.
As dawn broke and tho first early
workers began to straggle towards
these three millB the rioting began.
Desperate after their clubbing, of
the previous day the strikers attacked
workers who refused to turn back.
Immediately the state and city po
lice were.rushed to half a dozen dif
ferent points in autos and other ve
hicles which had been pressed into
service.
The appearance of the police was
the Bignal for desperate fighting.
Swinging night sticks, the police
battered the strikers back toward
Commons street. Every minute some
one dropped, beaten insensible, and
occasionally a policeman would fall
to the street badly wounded.
From all points the crowd con
verged into one great mass at Essex
and Union strets, and stretched to
Commons street, in the heart of the
foreign quarter.
For ten minutes or longer, at this
point, the pitched battle raged. It
was 9 o'clock before a semblance of
order was restored.
A Word to the Farmers.
From the Leavenworth, Kan., Times:
It the farmers want good times to
continue, they will vote for Taft If
they want to take tho chance of get
ting less for their crops, they will
vote for either Roosevelt or Wll
aon.

L. 6. HANNA, OUR NEXT GOVERNOR
Congressman L. B. Hanna, republican candidate for
governor of North Dakota, was a Beach guest on Wed
nesday of this week, speaking at the fair grounds in the
afternoon. He arrived Tuesday evening and while in
town was kept busy meeting old and new friends. Short
ly after dinner Wednesday the band escorted him from
the hotel to the fair grounds, where he took in the attrac
tions and addressed the fair visitors at four o'clock. Be
ing an invited guest of the fair association his address
was not a political one, his remarks being along industrial
lines, suitable to t'ie occasion. He was introduced by J.
P. Reeue and was heartily received and applauded.
While in the city Mr. Hanna met many of our business
men and farmers and was given many assurances of sup
port from both democrats and republicans. He left Wed
nesday evening feeling elated over his Beach visit and the
manner in which he had been received both by the fair as
sociation and Golden Valley people. Mr. Hanna at one
time, about six years ago, owned land north of Beach, and
during his address expressed regret at having parted with
it, having sold nine sections, he said, at what one could
not be purchased for now.
Threshers, Farmers, Meat Bayers, Attention!
I have 60 head of choice beef cattle which I will kill and sell by the quarter, side

Blanche Street, where I will be glad to have you call if you want choice, prime beef.

Turkey, Bulgaria and Servia
Working In Concert In Tendering Ad
vice to the Countries Involved.
Lateness ef the 8eason May Act as
Bar to Hostilities.
Lonodn, Oct. 1.—The near Eastern
situation is considered in diplomatic
elrcleB here as distinctly serious, al
though officials are disposed to be op
timistic. This feeling is widely shared
in consequence of the lateness of the
season and the fact that the powers
are working in concert in tendering
advice to the Balkan states to keep
the peace.
Orders have been issued for the
mobilization of the Bulgarian and Ser
vian armies, and the Ottoman govern
ment took steps to assemble 100,000
second reservists.
The stoppage of the passage of Ser
vian, ammunition by the Turks is re
garded as one of the most serious
incidents recorded. The Servians and
their friends take this as a grave af
front and demand immediate release
of the ammunition.
TURKEY CALLS OUT RESERVES
Hundred Thousand Men Ordered to
the Colors.
Athens, Greece, Oct. 1.—Turkey is
making elaborate military preparations
to meet any hostile demonstrations in
the Balkans, according to a semi-offi
cial statement published here.
The Ottoman government has called
up 100,000 men, forming eleven divi
sions of the Redifs,or second reserves,
for six weeks* training in field ma
neuvers. The Turkish troops sent
from Thrace to Albania some time
ago have now been ordered to return
to their stations so that the only
troops at present detached from their
ordinary posts are those concentrated
In Saloniki, along the Dardanelles and
at Smyrna, in consequence of the war
with Italy.
BULGARIA MOBILIZES ARMY
Action Follows Reports of Turkish
Activity on Frontier.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct 1.—The mobili
sation of the Bulgarian army has been
proclaimed by the government.
The action was taken in consequence
of alarming news received here as to
the concentration of considerable
forces of Turkish troops In the neigh
borhood ot Adrianople and along the
Bulgarian frontier.
An Infallible 8ign.
A student in one of the colleges
was writing on a paper in medical
jurisprudence in which he was
asked to enumerate the signs of
death by drowning. After some
more or less futile guesses he added,
"But the surest sign of all is crape
on the door!"—Short Stories.

Norton Suprliig
Foil C. 0. P. Ticket
Bolions Republican Part tho Mnt
The Chronicle editor received the
following statement this week
from Hon. P. D. Norton, candidate
for congress from this district:
"I have always been a firm be-v
liever in the fundamental principles
of the Republican party and as you
may know I have taken a somewhat
active part in the Progressive
movement of the party, and in se
curing Progressive legislation iny
this state the past the years. When
I cast my first vote, I elected to
affiliate with the Republican party
because from a careful study of the
political history of our country 1
was convinced that it was the real
party of construction and of pro
gress in the nation. Notwith
standing the severe and serious
criticisms that are now being aim
ed at some members of our party,
I believe that'the Republican party
is the most progressive party in the
nation today, just as it has been
the foremost party of progress
since its beginning. In this state,
its record for progressive legislation
and achievements during the past
eight years speaks for itself
must commend it to thinking
unbiased men of all parties
desire clean politics and a govern
ment in the interest of the whole
peope.
"While I maintain that it is
right and proper that all Republi
cans, who have the best interest of
the party at heart, should declare
in no uncertain terms against the.
attempt of representatives oif cor
porate greed to direct the influence
of the party away from the real
principles of freedom and popular
government on which it was found
ed, it is no time for true Republi
cans to desert the party but rather
the time to vigorously renew our
fight for the party that it may con
tinue to carry out the splendid
principles on which it was founded
and further contribute to the un
paralleled growth, development and
prosperity this nation has had un
der its guidance. I am sure the
triumphs the Republican party has'
achieved in dealing with slavery,
secession, tariff, finance and the
other great national issues for the
past century, have given it a poise
and prestige and an intelligence
which equip it better than any
other party to meet the present dav
problems as well as the future prob
lems of our nation.
"Every indication points to the
fact that the next House of Repre
sentatives and Senate will be con
trolled by Republican majorities or
by majorities of Republicans and
members of the new Progressive
party. In view of the great agri
cicultural wealth of this state and
