M m/ .- ur n AmHELr GF MEN GN FIRMS Governor Appeals to Them for Support of the Democratic Tariff Plank. GOVERNMENT FAILURE AS PARTNERSHIP. HE ASSERTS Country People Have Been De< ceived by Big Business Trus tees. Says Candidate. WILLIAMS GROVE. PA.. Aug. 29. Governor \Voodrow Wilson fired his opening gun here today in his cam paign for the presidency. Addressing the farmers gathered here for the meet ing of the Pennsylvania state grange, the Democratic nominee appealed for , support upon the tariff plank in his I platform. He promised economic re- | forms not only beneficial to the farm- ! er. but to all. , Governor Wilson likened our govern- : ment to a vast partnership, with every citizen holding a share in it. He de- ) dared that a great economic change is I going on and cited the passage of the [ farmers free’ list by 'lie last congress as | an expression of it. Governor Wilson said, in part: "It is strange we should have put off | so long looking into our government to see whether it is in fact run according to the rules we originally laid down for it. but it is certain that we are now looking into it very sharply indeed and without the least danger that we; shall be deceived again as to its char acter. Our idea of it has been from j the first that it was a genuine partner- ! ship and that all of us were partners, and that there was no ranking of junior and senior partners; that nobody had any preference over anybody else in the arrangement, but that all were upon one footing and were to share alike. But a very interesting thing has come to light. That is not. in fact, the way the government has been administered ifi our home, but something very differ ent. It has been in the hands of self constituted trustee- and the wards have seldom been allowed a real governing voice jn its administration. No Partnership In Present Government. “W’p hav* supposed that we were con chu-t'.ng the national business along lines laid down by Jefforson, but we find, as a matter of fact, we have been conduct ing it ah ng the lines laid down by Ham ilton. Hamilton believed that the com mon run of men had little qualification for such business; that it could be really comprehended and wisely directed only by those who led in commercial and in dustrial affairs and owned the chief bodies of property in the country. And in our time the leaders of the Republic an ] arty have consciously or unconscious ly adopted this notion At any rate, whether they have adopted the notion or not. thej have adopted a practice which exactly fitted it, for they have called into consultation in every vital issue many of those v ho had the biggest material stake in the economical development of the country. "These men financed party campaigns and were always on the inside of party |h-L x that ua to be determined. Tariff schedules, the foreign policy of the coun try, the chief expenditures of the govern ment, everything went as they suggested, while the rank ami file of us fared as up might and were happy if we had any small share in the prosperity which they • rganized for themselves. They were the trustees, we their wards, and took part in the common life as they planned and I directed What went on at the trustee meetings we were very seldom allowed i to learn and learned only by congression- I al investigations and trials in court, which ( tl » trustees complained sadly interfered t with the regular course of business. Farmer Deceived By the "Interests.” ‘V’c have not yet got to the end of the t inquiry, but we have found out enough i now to make it certain that we shall ' cb :t go the whole method and spirit of j c<»n dieting our government. ■ j'i"bably nobody has been deceived by, th» trustees under this method of man agem- t ' which is to end on March 4 i j x mor* than the farmer. It is hard to e where his partner ship was recognized I it all 'l'he tariff on products of the soil was not needed by the farmer and did no good, and in the meantime the things which he needed to produce his • paid very high duties and their j. <v- were made stiffer ami stiffer.

R._ today con demned the desecration of the flag of Georgia at the eapitol and praised The I Georgian for calling attention to the i incident. Mrs. Foster said: As state regent of the Daughters : of the American Revolution, I wish to thank you for your article in > Wednesday afternoon's paper inde fense of the Georgia flag. The lack of respect by the Anier i lean people for the flag of our na i tion has so engaged the attention of the National Society of the I Daughters of the American Revo- I lution that a standing committee I has been appointed on “the preven tion of the desecration of the flag." We as a nation are expected to pay respect to foreign flags, then how much more important to pay respect to our own national and state flags. Even though the flag you re ferred to was tattered and worn, It Is the flag of our state and should not have been used to walk on or to stand upon. Let us as citizens deplore this act and loudly protest against such desecration of our Georgia flag. HEIR NO. 16 OR 17 ARRIVES AT HOME OF JUDGE RUSSELL Bulletins brought back from the town of Russell by Colonel Walter R. Brown today announce the arrival of' a ten-pound daughter at the home of Judge and Mrs. R. B. Russell. Colonel Brown was a little mixed in his figures and could not remember whether the new arrival was No. 16 or No. 17, but he was confident •it was somewhere around that number. Judge Dick Russell has for several years been famous for bis support of Colonel Roosevelt's anti-race suicide policies, Democrat though he is. In fact, Sam I’. Blythe wrote a short time ago that Judgt Russell and his children paid a visit to the county fair and stopped in front of a booth where a two-headed calf was on exhibition for the small sum of one dime or 10 cents. "How mu 11 for the party?" asked Judge Dick, according to Bly, he. "Is them all your children?" return ed the show spieler. Judge Dick acknowledged the im peachment. "You jes’ wait a minute," said the showman. "I'm goin’ to tiring out tin calf and lot him look at you." FILM SHOW FLIRTS FINED: COURT SAYS PRACTICE MUST END "This flirting within theaters will not lie tolerated," today remarked Recorder I Pro Tern Preston as he imposed a fine I of $25.75 on C. L. Glower, a merchant at I 313 Edgewood avenue, and a tine of I $15.75 on H. F. Goss, 23 Pulliam street. I Clower, after being ejected yesterday I afternoon from the Alamo theater in j Whitehall street, attacked the manager, A. G. Saterpaulos. while the two w ere ' discussing tile affair with Policeman i Hill. The manager took ('lower lout because he was trying to get up a i flirtation. The officer made a case I against both men. but Judge Pre -ton I discharged the manager, holding him ' to be justifiable. It developed in court that Goss was in the theater with ('lower, and the • recorder pro tern ordered a ease made against him Roth men denied they ere trying to flirt, ('lower asserting that the theater manager seized him by 1 the collar and ejected him without | provocation.

BLEMUST FI6HTFRAUD CHARGE 10 KIN RACE ‘ I Protest of Anderson County's 8,000 Votes and 2.500 Ma jority May Lose Victory. STATE COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE PRIMARY On Face of Returns. South Carolina Governor Has Lead of About 2.000. ANDERSON. S. ('.. Aug. 29.—Every box in Anderson county, which gave Blease a majority of 2.500 out of 8,000 votes cast, was protested this afternoon before the county executive committee The election of a governor hangs in the balance by this action. Should An derson county materially change in its line-up for the two candidates for gov ernor, the result of the election will be changed. Various frauds are charged in the pe titions filed here today—that unnatural ized citizens, non-residents, minors, Re publicans and others not qualified to vote did east ballots. The matter will come up later before the county and state executive committees. Blease May Yet Lose Because of Fraud ('OLI’MBIA, S. (’.. Aug. 29.—Govern or Blease may yet fill of the governor ship of this state, even though today lie lias a majority of about 2,006, for there is strong probability that the state Democratic committee may throw out enough returns to cause the nomi nation of Judge Ira B. Jones. About 140 000 votes Were cast in Tuesday’s primary, 30,660 more than were ever before cast in an election in this state and nearly 40,000 more than were cast two years ago. The state chairman, forme: Governor John Gary Evans, of Spartanburg, has received reports from all parts of the state of wholesale fraud in the election and when the state com mittee meets tomorrow these protested votes will be considered. If there is proof that there was crooked ballot ing. the number of votes thrown out will in all probability stave off the gov ernor's election. It is reported that in several coun ties minors. Republicans and men from other countie- voted. Blease Leads Two Opponents by 2,000 CHARLESTON, S Aug. 29. While absolutely accurate figures are not available, (’oh L. Blease has a lead <? about 2,000 vote*? over his two opponents. The various county execu tive committees met at noon through out the state and the correct tabulation is being made this afternoon. There appeals to be no doubt that Blease is elected over his two opponents. Ben Tillman goes back to the senate with about 7.000 majority over his two opponents, although he was liberally scratched, especially in mill communi ties. Kraser Lyon, attorney general, who pros* < uted the grafters in connection with th* 1 state dispensary, will run oxer with Thomas Peebles, a .voting lawyer.

Tile ulti matum followed a turbulent gathering I upon the streets of the city, brought about by an editorial, in which it was i stated that ot the virtuous womanhood j of South Carolina, 85 per cent were for] Iri B.

YOUNG BRIDE THINKS NO FORTUNE WAS LEFT HER "So Far as I Know. All I Have Is My Baby.’' She Deciares in an Interview. Removed from Atlanta at midnight with all possible secrecy, the body of Christopher Columbus Wilson, once millionaire promoter and wireless lung, is back in his old home state Texas, there to find its last resting place in the little town of Terrell. Miss (ilia Wilson, the ex-magnate’s daughter, and a brother, of Lancaster, Texas, called for the body late yester day afternoon, made hurried prepara tions for the trip, and at 11:10 p. rn. left for Texas on a train from New York, Miss Neta Wilson, another daugh ter. was aboard the train.

"So far as I know he left nothing at all to me, except our baby." Christopher Columbus Wilson.

Mrs. Wilson repeat ed. "I did not know a thing about it. really I received a telegram notifying me of my husband's deatli and asking about funeral arrangements. I was so shocked and so ill that I turned over the task of arranging for tlie burial to Mr. Wilson’s daughter. Miss Olla Wilson, of Lancaster. Texas." Bride Can Not Attend Funeral. "The little colonel,” as some of Wil son's friends called the baby, laughed and tried to toddle around the inter viewer. He had only seen his father once—-when, because of a lax guar dian. Wilson, who was brought North > to testify in his own bankruptcy pro ceedings in July, managed to get out to bis country home. "Will you attend the funeral of ('olo nel Wilson?" was asked. "I fear that 1 will not be able to," was the young bride's reply. "But." she hastened to explain, "that is only be cause of my physical condition.

ASSERTS CONGRESS WILL MAKE THOROUGH PROBE Says President Exceeded His Authority and Wielded a Dangerous Power. Declaring that President Taft's act in ■■'ending a body of armed soldiers and marines Into Nicaragua was contrary to the constitution and unauthorized by law. Senator Augustus O. Bacon, who is In Atlanta today, said congress would make a full investigation of the matter. He believes that the danger that some American capitalists might lose by the overthrow of the Nicaraguan govern ment was- responsible for the act of the president. "in my opinion, the sending of froir 3,000 to 4,060 troops, consisting of in fantry. marines and armed sailors, into Nicaragua by the president without authority from congress is not only without law, but absolutely in violation of the law," said Senator Bacon. Declares Congress Alone Has Power, "Os course. It, is recognized that un der certain circumstances small bodies of marines may he landed in a foreign country, for instance, to protect Ameri can consulates. But that is a very dlf ferent matter from sending an army into a foreign country to take sides between two contesting factions within that country. "If 3,666 to 4,000 troops can be sent, why not 30,000 or 40,00(1, or any greater number? The larger force could be sent by him with equal propriety and justification into some other country, Mexico, for instance. There is just as much authority for the president to send 50,000 soldiers into Mexico as to send 3,000 men into Nicaragua. "If such action is really necessary, then it is the duty of the president to report the matter to congress and have congress authorize the movement. That duty is vested in congress by the con stitution and is not given to the presi dent. “It is a dangerous power to he exer cised by any one man and the consti tution carefully denied it to the presi dent and vested it in congress alone. Taft Governed by Big Capitalists. "In Nicaragua. I have no doubt, the whole proceeding Is In the interest of some American capitalists who have loaned money to the existing govern ment and who would lose their money should the existing government be overthrown. "The senate has appointed an inves tigating committee and the whole mat ter will be sifted from top to bottom." Senator Bacon is looking well, though rather exhausted from the long session and the hot weather. He will take a rest at home through September, but 4n October expects to canvass some of the Northern states for the Democratic party. The senator said the atmosphere tn Washington indicated that Republicans hardly expected to win this year. He expressed himself as confident of Dem ocratic victory. "if there is any lack of enthusiastic •feeling for Woodrow Wilson I have failed to observe it," he said. "The party seems to be firmly knit together. "A Democratic house of representa tives is certain for the coming term, and I believe 'he senate will have a clear Democratic majority."
