CONFIDENCE IN TAFT LOST
Renoml nation of Present Chief E-
eutiva Will Mean That Progress
alva Republicans will Turn
to New Jersey Sta'.eaman.
BY HON! FRANK O. CANNON
Former United State Senator Front
Utah.
I have traveled In ten itatea since
tearing Colorado a month ago. The
cry of the Progressive in these states
Texas Oklahoma Kansas Nebras-
ka. South Dakota Wisconsin Iowa
Illinois Indiana and even Mlaaourl
Is for LaFoIlette and Wilson. The
Progressive Democrats want the Re-
publican party to nominate Robert M.
lAFollette for the presidency; bo that
If the Democratic party shall lose
the People will win.
And Progressive Republicans want
the Democratic party to nominate
Woodrow Wilson; so that If the Re-
publican party shall lose still the
People will win
You will observe that the Progres-
sive Dove has at last learned wisdom
from that wily old Serpent the Sys-
tem; whose favorite plan lias been
lo :elect both candidates subscribe to
both campaign funds and then let
the People In deadly earnest fight
a useless battle.
Personally 1 fear that the Progres-
sive Republicans cannot control their
convention.
The office-holding machine is uow-
erfuL lnsiduous and experienced. The
Interests are desperately determined
to prevent a 1-aKollette term In the
White House; and their financial aid
makes the machine almost resistless.
Frankly I do not bslieve in this talk
of a fatal breach betv-een President
taft and Dig Business. On both sides
It looks like a calculated quarrel a
melodrama played for national en-
tertainment. The need of such an
affectation of battle Is too obvious.
Despite his earnest work the peo-
ple had no faith that President Taft
would solve our vital problem and re-
store the government to the custody
of the people. A play was needed.
It Is being played.
But there remains Wilson whose
nomination by the Democratic con-
vention can only be prevented by In-
sanity or perfidy or both. Other
candidates are able; they have sin-
cere advocates. Hut the Progressive
Republicans as well as the mass of
Democrats want Wilson nominated;
and It Is the Progressive Republicans
whose votes will decide the issue.
If Taft shall be the Republican nom-
inee Progressives of his party would
turn almost ph masse to Wilson
and Wilson Is the only possible Dem-
ocratic nominee to whom they would
thus turn. They will not leave Taft
In order to vote for any Democratic
ally of the Interests. They will not
desert their own party to cuance any
humiliating experiment with the oth-
er. They want to preserve their self-
respect and at the same time per-
form a high public service.
Wilson's Faith In Publicity.
At all times and places says a
writer In Success Woodrow Wilson
has counselled opening our govern-
mental processes to the light. Thus
at Minneapolis:
"Every community Is vaguely aware
that the political machine upon which
It looks askance has certain very defi-
nite connections with men who are
engaged In business on a large scale
and the suspicion which attaches to
the machine itself has begun to at-
tach also to business enterprise Just
hecause these connections are known
to exist. If these connections were
open and avowed If everybody knew
just what they Involved and Just wl.at
use was being made of the alliance-
there would be no difficulty In keep-
ing an eye upou affairs and In con-
trolling them by public opinion. But
unfortunately the whole process of
law-making in America Is a very ob-
scure one. There la no highway of
legislation but there are many by-
ways." At another time he paid this hu-
morous tribute to publicity:
"There Is one very disturbing qual-
ity In man and I have experience 1
myself and I dare say you have.
When you are a long way from home
and see no neighbor from near your
home you give yourself an extraor-
dinary latitude In your conduct but
tf ou w on the desert of Sahai..
and mot one of your Immediate neigh-
bors coming the otht-.r way on a camel
you would behave yourself until ha
got out of alght."
Reaching the Root.
"Radical" means "rootlcal" and
these lava merely sot at the root of
tie things. We supposed we were
electing our public officials. We were
electing them but were not selecting
them. Certain gentlemen In private
office were making up the slates and
then permitting us to accept them. I
want to have a voice in the selection
of men I shall advocate. What la
"radical?" Why. merely giving back
to the communities of New Jerae
what they supposed they basd aa

Montana Newspaper Hails Him
as the Standard Bearer of
the Democratic Party.
PROGRESSIVE AND ABLE MAN
True Patriot and Morally and Intel-
I lectually Fit for ths High Pooi-
I tlon ts Which Ha e Reason-
j ably Burs of Election.
Helena (Moutj Independent The
people will name the democratlo
party's candldaie for the presidency.
In the next democratic convention
there will be no boss whose voice will
be heard above the rallying cry of
real popular sovereignty; mere will
be no machine which will Interfere
with the registering of the people
will.
From Maine to California from
Minnesota to Texas the delegate
; who will assemble to name the party's
I Standard bearer In the next campaign
will tome with but one purpose la
j view-to restore real democratic gov-
! eminent to power lu the nation's capl-
j tol.
; In view of this situation a situation
; which Is most encouraging to the
party it Is possible now to forecast
i the result of the democratic conven-
i tlon and that forecast points uner-
ringly to the nomination of Woodrow
j Wilson former president of Princeton
university and governor of New Jer-
i sey. for the hig.iesi ollice within the
right of any people.
I The democratic candidate must be
a progressive. Such a man Is Wood-
j row Wilson whose record In New Jer-
! sey has stamped him as one of the
! most progressive men in public life.
The democratic candidate for the
j presidency must be unafraid and free
I from all Influence of political bosses
Such a man is Woodrow Wilson who
In bis own state unhorsed a political
dictator whose power no one before
I had shaken.
I The democratic candidate for the
presidency must be essentially demo-
cratic. Such a man Is Woodrow Wil-
son whose political ascendency has
been accomplished only by reason of
the faith the people have in him and
who will carry Into the high office no
secret bargains with those who manip-
ulate politics for private gain.
The democratic candidate must be
morally and Intellectually fit for the
place. Such a man is Woodrow Wil-
son whose training enables him to
give to the great problems of the
day an Integrity above question and
a mental capacity and a knowledge of
public affairs which lias probably not
been excelled In an executive officer
elnce the days of Jefferson.
In Woodrow Wilson there is ample
evidence of America's ability to de-
velop In each crisis in the nation's
affairs a man who Is equal to the
emergencies of his time Washington
appeared on the scene when the dis-
satistled colonies needed a strong man
and a military genius to lead ftem to
national independence. Jefferson came
when the new democracy needed a
man to lake the reins of the govern-
ment from the hande of an embryo no-
bility and restore it to the people.
Jackson came when the money power
first asserted Itself In the control of
the American government. Lincoln
came when the union was about to
break upon the rocks of domestic
strife
And now when greater problems
than those which confronted Wash-
ington and Jefferson and Jackson and
I.Iucoln demand courage and ability
of almost superhuman character;
when from the length and breadth of
the land there goes up as In 1860 the
prayer "God give us a man" when
plutocracy i enthroned In high places
and when the life blood of the coun-
try Is being sucked by the vampire of
big business; when greed and avarice
have been substituted for patriotism
and Justice; when sporadic and half1
hearted attempts to right existing
wrongs only aggravate them; when
the nation demands again the genius
of a Washington the faith In the peo-
ple of a Jellerson the courage of a
Jackson and the sublime patriotism of
a Lincoln at such a time as this it is
like watching the hand of a benefi-
cent destiny to see Woodrow Wilson
loom large on the scene of national
politics.
Not only the Democratic party but
the nation too. Is blessed that such a
man Is available for the presidency.
Let George Do It.
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey while campaigning strenuous-
ly in the Interests of the Democratlo
candidates came to a small hostelry
in Susex County lu the northern sec-
tion of the State
The waiter handed the presidential
possibility the menu card but tlu"
Oovernor tired from the day's cam-
paigning pushed It away and said:
"Now deorge I don't want to both-
er with that. Take It away and go
out and get me a good dinner. Get
the best you hare. That's all."
The waiter brought In the dinner
which the Oovernor ate. Aa ha was)
leaving the dining room the waiter
said: "Mlstah Wilson If any o' you
frieuds from down at Princeton what
can't read neither comes up this way
you Jest send 'era to George aa' I'll
Uke care o' 'em all right."

REV. W. H. MARTIN ImX.
STATE GEOLOGIST
SAKS LIFE OF
Norman Okla. Feb. 1L'. As a con-
sequence of the report made to the
public utilities commission of Kansas
City soni" weeks ago by eXM'i ts con-
siderable anxiety has been given to
industries in the gas belt of Okla-
homa and out of state investors lest
the g;is supply fail middenly or at
least become exhausted within a few
years. The unrest thus created has
brought a deluge of inquiries lo the
geological survey here. For several
weeks the survey lias been collecting
information on the Oklahoma gas
field and inquiring into the history
ami behavior of oilier similar fields.
Dr. H. W. Obeni director of the sur-
vey spent some time in the gas
fields in West Virginia and Penn-
sylvania in order to secure first band
information concerning I he history
and present condition of older iools
it ml wells. Coupling information thus
obtained with that collected in the
Oklahoma Held Dr. Ohern concludes
that fears and anxiety are quite
groundless. Old wells and jkioIs are
holding out beyond expectation but
it Is firmly believed that the life
of most of them have only begun.
The Copan field it is true has now
a rock pressure of only 10b pounds.
Hut Dr. I. C. Wilhitp state geologist
of West Virginia who has the best
fund of information to be had states
that when the pressure has decreased
to this amount the life has only be-
gun. Very few wells in Oklahoma's
field have reached this stage. Those
that have are still good for several
years to say the least.
It is certain also that very soon
the variotn gas companies will take
steps toward prolonging the -riod of
production of the wells. Measures
will be taken to keep them from
taking water. In the Hogshooter
field 'the wells are being- sunk deep-
er in the sand and thus revived. When
conditions so demand pumping" will
be resorted to and this process will

other fields have made him more
confident than ever of the soundness
of the situation. He says he has
no opinion lo express as to how long
Kansas will have gas. That he-thinks-
