ON TARIFF GRAFT
New York Sept. HI. Collier's most
ardent of all Roosevelt supporters re
fuses to swallow all over again the
theory that "the government will see
that the tariff graft stops in the pay
nvelope." It was bad enough when
Mark Hanna hoodwinked the public
with it sixteen and a dozen years ago;
the Third Term's candidate's attempt
to palm it off now is the final straw.
Collier's in its issue of September 14
serves notice on the Colonel as fol-
lows: "The statement of Colonel Roose-
velt frequently reiterated that the
money powers ate lighting against him
exclusively and are satisfied with both
Taft and Wilson is no d)ttbt a per-
fectly candid statement of his belief
but it seems to us grossly inaccurate.
The president from some source to
us unknown has recently got plenty
of money for his campaign.
"We happen to know that Mr. Per-
kins while making it clear that he
can raise all the money needed by the
Bull Moose if he wants to has held
back and indicated that he might step
out if things did not go according to
his wish.
"We state this not as a surmise but
as a fact.
"It doesn't mean anything against
Colonel Roosevelt's independence
which is well established but it does
seem to us to constitute a reason for
not making charges of probable sub-
serviency or helplessness against Gov-
ernor Wilson.. Whether or not big
business men would care to help Gov-
ernor Wilson financially can scarcely
he known as he is so particular about
who contributes to his fund.
"Our guess would be that Mr. Jacob
Scliiff's support of Governor Wilson
might be founded partly on the belief
that he was going to be elected as Mr.
Schiff could scarcely take much satis-
faction in the Governor's intense feel-
ings about the existence of a money
trust. We mention this instance be-
fvanse "Mi'. Roosevelt has chosen to em
phasize Mr. Schiff as an indication that
high finance fears only him.
"As a matter of fact the Morgan in-
terests in general will probably be
backing the Colonel even more heavily
than they are now before the campaign
is over.
"On the monopoly issue the principal
exponents of the Colonel5s position
are Judge Gary and Mr. Perkins.
"On the tariff issue the old republi-
can gag of Mark Hanna's day is serv
ed up anew in the idea that the gov
ernment will see that the tariff graft
stops in the pay envelope. Working-
men have heard that story a long long
time and meantime the price of living
goes up huge fortunes swell trusts
are created by tariff favors the city
j grows at the expense of the country.
and "prosperity" means plutocracy.
"To our best belief Charles R. Crane
is the ony big business man in the
country who has thrown his whole
heart into the effort to elevt Governor
Wilson to the presidency."
New Fork Sept. 16. Robert A. Mills
of Riverside Cal. wants it known that
lie is not a political boss even though
the nineteen members of his family
are going to vote as he will vote in
November.
Mr. Mills first became interested in
politics when Polk was a candidate
tor president and he cast his first
vote for Pierce. He voted for Abra
ham Lincoln and has never failed to
vote at a presidential election since.
. . . .
ivir. ;ims nas auviseu democratic
lead quarters that he proposes voting
for Wilson and Marshall and says that
his wife three daughters two daughters-in-law
seven sons four sons-in-law
and two grandsons or a total of
20 votes will vote the straight demo-
cratic ticket this year.
New York Sept. 16. independent
Voters' Leagues are being organized
in Pennsylvania by the score. In one
instance a League composed of 1000
voters has enrolled 800 republicans
whi have agreed to vote for Wilson
and Marshall.
Democratic leaders promise to sur-
prise the country at large In Novem-
ber by the democratic vote which will
revolutionize politics in the Keystone
state.
Every department at. national head-
quarters has been receiving comniuni-
catiotjs daily fro mall the co ression-
al districts indicating the rapid growth
of Wilson sentiment.

day night from the state of Washing-

WET STATES
INCREASE
Cincinnati O.. Sept. 16. The state-
wide prohibition election in Arkansas
in which piohibiton was defeated by
a majorty of over 15000 is the first
state-wide prohibition election of the
present year. State-wide elections will
be held in November in West Virginia
and Colorado.
Only the following states are now
under prohibition: Georgia. Kansas
Maine Mississippi. North Carolina
North Dakota. Oklahoma and Tennes-
see. Texas voted on state-wide prohibi-
tion in 1911 and defeated it. Maine
voted on the repeal of the constitu-
tional provision and while defeated
the result showed a change from "dry"
to "wet" of 47000 votes from the pre-
vious election and this in. an enor-
mously increased vote.
A few days ago Ohio repudiated its
preseut system of outlawing the liquor
business by a system of taxation
which prohibited license and made im-
possible the proper regulation and
control of the business. It substituted
therefore a constitutional amendment
making license mandatory and In the
judgment of the best legal talent in
the state closes the door by 85000
majority against statelwide prohibi-
tion. ?The liberal forces of the various
states which have voted recently on
prohibition are declaring that both
Colorado and West Virginia will re-
main "wet" in the November elections
an dthat Georgia and Tennessee will
repudiate prohibition In the near fu-
ture. A plan for taking care of the charity
work of Yinita has been arranged. Full
details will appear in Tuesday's Chief-
tain. The committee in charge is as
follows: Mrs. W. B. Coley Mrs. Lee

Juery a farmer living several miles

been looking for him and had partially
given up hope of his return when the
dog appeared at the home with his
