Support of the Democratic
Tariff Plank.

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

D. A. R. STATE REGENT
DEPLORES GEORGIA
FLAG DESECRATION
Mrs. Sheppard \V. Foster, state re
gent of the Georgia D. A. 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.

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."

The election of a governor hangs in

Daughter Removes Remains of
Wireloss King From Atlanta
With All Possible Secrecy.
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.
While Wilson is being taken to his
grave, a girl widow up North, who, as
Stella Lewis, was his stenographer,
faces a futme much different from that
of which she dreamed when she mar
ried the wireless king.
Doesn’t Believe the
Report of Hidden Riches.
Young Mrs. Wilson is convinced that)
there is no truth in the report that she i
would come into about $1,000,000, said i
to have been concealed by Wilson
abroad before he was arrested and im- j
prisoned here for fraud.
"I wish It were true." said Mrs. Wil- i
son, through her sister. Miss Sarah
Lewis, at her home in Spring Valley.
N. Y„ when she was asijed about this.
"So far as I know he left nothing at
all to me, except our baby."
Christopher Columbus Wilson. Jr.,
one year old. who was born while his
father was- behind the walls of the
Southern penitentiary, was creeping
joyously about the porch of the big
country house while his nioihvr sent
out her answers.
“The funeral?" 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. We
were most devoted to each other H
was expecting to be paroled and to re
turn to a quiet life with me and our
child. When 1 received the telegram)
from Atlanta I was reading an affec- I
tionate letter which had just come. He j
wrote to me every day.
“1 interrupted the letter to read the I
telegram, thinking that the message j
might tell es his parole. Instead, it I
told of his death I had to ho helped :
to bed. and have been here ever since." j
Reports have been printed that Miss!
I Lewis married Wilson so that she could I
|not be used as a witness against him

! fraud in selling I’nit' d Wireless stock !
"That is not so." declared the young i

me. His buslnes- had nothing what-,

to jail unjustly, I still believe—we i
were both just as much in love with i
i each other as ever. J certainly did not ;
i marry him to protect him He needed ]

"Have you engaged a lawier to look I

"No; I have not. 1 do not know that ;

wish that it might be true that he left.

Declares Ordering of Troops to
Nicaragua Was Dictated by

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."

JACKSON, GA.. Aug 29. —One person
was probably fatally injured and sev

McNair claims the steering gear of
tiie ear broke and that he could not
