WILSON EXPOUNDS
TARIFF POLICIES
TO NUTMEG VOTERS
Tariff Policies of Democratic
Platform Carefully Outlined
to Big Connecticut Audience
on Wednesday
ar BAxrs smith
r - NEW HAVEN: Conn.. Sept. 26.-They
may be conservative In thought and in
action in the Nutmeg state, but they
were not a bit conservative or distant
in saluting Governor Wilson yesterday
afternoon and last night.
It was the first day of the governor's
New England tour that ends Friday
right and Yankeedom rose to Its fu»l
height and save the nominee a bright,
snappy time of it.
And it may be remarked that Governor
Wilson struck a gait that helped mate
rially in making the day distinctive tn
the campaign calendar. He delivered a
tmessage of progressive ism to New
England In positive terms. The gov
ernor spoke late in the afternoon at
Hartford and here at night. He knew
he was in communities that have not
exhibited great fondness for the direct
primary, initiative, referendum and the
r<>ralL so he devoted his speech at Hart
ford to a re-statement of his creed as
a Progressive. *
AGAINST RECALL.
He discussed the measures designed for i
restoring popular government with more
exhaustiveness than at any time since
the event at Baltimore. In saying at
Hartford that he was against recall of
judges. Governor Wilson said he knew
there had been corrupt 100 otj U»C bench.
The outcome of the New Jersey senato
rial primaries was called up by the gov
ernor at Hartford to show the effective
ness of the direct primary system and
that its extension to the election of Uni
ted States senators was logical. The
governor's reference to the defeat of :
James Smith, Jr., was cheered.
In bis New Haven speech Governor I
Wilson, tn tracing the rise of the Pro
gressive movement, paid high tribute to
Senator La Follette, whom he called
"(hat sturdy little giant of Wiscon
sin. who is now the unconquerable cham
, pion of Progressive ideas all along the
line." * ' i
The governor added: "Men who seek
expediency rather than pursue principle
took him up for a little while and pre
tended to follow him. and then rejected
him net because he was not the genuine
-ifMaptSß of their principles, but because
they, apparently, saw their interests lie i
in another direction.
TRIBUTE TO LA FOLLETTE.
•*1 .do not believe there are many
chapters of personal history in the rec- ;
ords of parties more difficult to recon
cile with principles of honor than that, j
"I feel myself close kin to those men I
who have been fighting the battle of pro- ,
gressive Democracy; for no matter what ’
label they bear, we are of one principle." :
Governor Johnson, of California, the
Progressive vice presidential nominee,
was campaigning in the same territory as
the Wilson outfit, but the two failed to
come In contact.
Johnson spoke in New Haven in the
afternoon and at the Progressive con- j
vcntlon in Hartford. Conn., last night.
Governor Wilson's Hartford talk was
largely an exposition of those measures
that California has adopted to free the
state from the grip of the Southern Pa
cific. Governor Wilson even mentioned
California and the Southern Pacific in
his speech, but it was said for him
that he didn't have Governor Johnson's
nearness in mind when he was express
ing himself.
NO FREE TRADER.
0 Another striking phase of the go ver
lifer's Hartford- talk was his reply to
flfuse who have been depicting him as
a free trader and the Democratic party
as an instrument for enonomic murder.
Connecticut hdb a wide variety of in
dustries and Homer Cummings, the
state's national committeeman. told the
governor that the Taft crowd was using
the free trade bogey to snare Dem
ocratic votes.
"Who said free trade?” exclaimed
the governor. "Who proposed free
trade? You can't have free trade In
■ - tie United States because the govern
' merit is of necessity supported by the
duties collected at the ports."
There were numerous "Just-to-get
acqualnted" stops (to quote the gover
nor.) o*l the way to Hartford, but it
remained for the Hartford people to
show something imposing in the way of
a demonstration. If there are any local
committees looking for advice on how
upshow off a presidential candidate to
the multitude, let them write ■ to the
leading undertaker of Hartford, Charlie
Dillon by name. Dillon was the boss
of the event and while his training as
an undertaker may have stood film in
gqbd stead, it was no funeral proces
sion that he organized.
A LIVELY PARADE.
It was the llvest daytime procession
that the governor has headed since he
Imgan real campaigning. The crowds
that lined the curbs were the biggest
that hare turned out for any day event
.hi the governor's schedule, and the ral
ly in Parson's theater attracted a rep
resentative audience.
a .The governor s auditors were so in
tent In listening to him that they
didn't have time to applaud.
There was a barouche, drawn by four
black steeds at the station when
the governor arrived. After the gover
nor was assigned his seat in th* coach,
Dillon drew a card and in stentorian
tones called out the names of the nota
bles and others who were privileged to
GENERIL ST® FACES
■ INDUSTRIES OF IlfflSTl
11 Mammoth Labor Demonstra
. tion Follows Tie-Up of
J Trolley System
H (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
> AUGUSTA, Ga.. Sept 26 The strike
' of the employes of the Augusta-Aiken
I Railway and Electric corporation sud-
I denly resumed Its largest proportion
i when one of the biggest organized
i labor meetings held in Augusta in
: years, the situation passed from that
i state of being a strike of one craft of
I organized labor, into a general labor
I controversy with the seventeen crafts
: making up the Augusta Federation of
' Trades.
The feature of the meeting at which
a number of addresses were made, was
the adoption of a blanket resolution
declaring the fight to be on all union
labor in Augusta, providing for a com
mittee of sixteen organized labor men
to wait upon Mayor Barrett in an ef
fort to remove policemen from the
street cars, and the following refer
ence to a possible genera! sympathetic
strike:
"That unless these union men get
fair treatment, every labor union in
Augusta belonging to this federation
will also take part for their brothers,
and that these unions will, if necessary
to get justice, take proper steps to join
' in the strike."
The ' street demonstration of eharac
, ter never witnessed before tn the hls-
I tory of Augusta or probably this en
• tire of the south, was after
, the meeting of the labor organizations
* a< the Knights of Pythias hall.
The »00 people at the meeting, with
their ranks augmented by several hun
dred others, marched out Eighth to
Broad, down Broad to Sixth, out Sixth
■to Greene, up Greene to Eighth and
' oqt Eighth again to Broad, and then
■ Marched up Broadway for several ,
' blocks. The men marched tn two'e and
yelled enthusiastically throughout the
line of march.
, 1 - The demonstration was planned at
the meeting to show the strength of
the labor men who are threatening the
sympathetic strike. There was no dis
order of any character unless the loud
talk and yelling of the men be consid
ered disorder. In fact they were cau
tioned to be orderly by their leaders.
The men were fresh from hearing
addresses in which a sympathetic
atyUm -wßs urged shmrtd the striking
I car men not be given a "square deal."
| The crowd dispersed about 11 o’clock.

followed the governor s prancing four

YALE STUDENTS
The governor left Hartford at 4 I
o'clock for New Haven.
Governor Baldwin, with his military
staff, boarded the governor's car at
Berlin and the two executives chat- 1
ted on the run into New Haven. Upon
arrival. Governor Wilson was taken to
the hotel Taft, where a crowd of Yale
students cheered him and induced him
to make -a little talk. The governor
reminded the boys that he used to be
a neighbor of old Yale, when he taught
at Wesleyan. Middletown. Conn., and
he recalled too, that he helped coach
a Wesleyan team that downed Yale.
The refrain of victory is the same
in Connecticut as was heard in the
middle and the northwest last week. |
Wilson Is going to get this state If
you can believe all they tell you. Gov- i
emor Baldwin received 73.000 votes
two years ago and won by 3,-TOO.
f DEMOCRAT CLAIMS
The Democrats assert Wilson will ;
get at least 12.000 more than Baldwin. ,
They apportion the vote as follows: I
■ Wilson. $6,000: Taft. 66.000, and Roose- S
velt. 45*.000. with 10.000 scattering.
The Progressive convention was held
at Hartford last night and now there
j are three full state tickets in the field. ;
Let It be said to the credit of Con- i
uecticut Democrats that they admit i
Roosevelt is going to pull some Demo
cratic vetes away from Wilson. They
i! say Roosevelt's vote will be three-quar
ters Republican, one-quarter Demo
»• cratic.
This, is the first place they have
been so. candid about it. However, the
Democrats are figuring on getting ba ex
a large block of votes cast by what
they call Cleveland Democrats who
bolted in 1896. That will more than
make up the loss.
They are playing the tariff issue
hard in the various manufacturing cen
ters. but the Democrats think that the
manufacturers are getting anxious for
reduced Imports on raw materials,
while the workmen are quite ready for
gradual downward revision.
Governor Baldwin is reasonably sure
of winning a second term.
HMN TIGER
ANR HIS OESPERATE
MEN IiRECAPTURED
General Mena, “Tiger of the
Atlantic Coast” and Leader
of Revolution, Is Now a
Prisoner
CBy Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2«.—General
Mena, leader of the Nicaraguan revo
lutionists, is to be sen’t to Panama un
der guard of American sailors and ma
rines. ’American Minister Weitzel re
ported to the state department today
that Rear Admiral Southerland had ac
cepted the surrender of Mena and 700
followers at midnight. Sept. 24. His
capture is taken to indicate the col
lapse of the revolution, and his. re
moval to Panama probably means exile.
Officials here believe General Mena re
qested that he be permitted to surren
der to Admiral Southerland from fear
of summary action at the hands of the
Nicaraguan federals, and the admiral
doubtless thought it advisable to get the
rebel leader out of the country.
UNITED STATES IN CONTROL
Granada is now completely under con
trol of United States forces. Conditions
are reported pitiful tn the extreme. The
inhabitants face famine in consequence
of their long isolation. Red Cross pro
visions have been distributed with the
greatest haste.
It is not thought that General Zeledon
and his forces will attempt to hold out
now that the chief of the revolution has
given up. Little importance is attached
here to the announcement by Juan Irlas,
former follower of Zelaya, of his inten
tion to succeed General Mena. Irias
made known his ambitions before leaving
San Juan, Costa Rica, several dqjrs ago.
Nothing since has bden heard of his
wherebaouts.
HIS FATE UNCERTAIN.
The disposition of Mena and his force
will depend upon the terms made by
him with Admiral Southerland. By his
disregard of all of ■ the rules of civilized
warfare he has placed himself outside
the pale of the law. Officials declare It
would be entirely proper to turn Mena
over to the JClcaraguan government.
But if Admiral Southerland has accept
ed the surrender with a pledge for pro
tection that promise will be respected
by the state department, even if its
redemption involves the transportation
of the rebels to Panama.
“Tiger of the Atlantic” ■
■ Now a fallen idol
(By Associated Frew.)
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 26. —Reports
that Gen. Julian Irias, the recognized
leader of the liberals of Nicaragua, had
left Costa Rica £pr the expressed pur
pose of placing himself at the head
of the revolutionary movement, are dis
credited by prominent 'exiled liberals
here who have been in communication
with Irias. They declare that General
Irias has discouraged the participation
of the liberal party In the Mena revo
lution.
The surrender of Gen. Luis Mena’is
accepted by all factions of the Central
American' celony here as marking the
downfall of the revolution, and “the
tiger of the Atlantic coast,” which title
Mena won in the Estrada revolution of
1909, is looked upon as a fallen idol.
All Rebel Steamers
Are Also Surrendered
(By Auoetatad Press.)
BLUSFIELDti, Nicaragua. Sept. 26. —
Official confirmation was received here
this morning, of the surrender of Gen
eral Mena and the fortress of San
Francisco in .Granada, to the American
forces. General Mena also delivered to
Admiral Southerland dll of the steam
ers on Lake Nicaragua which he cap*!
tured a few days after he started the
revolution.
This news is generally accepted ai
the termination of the revolution. .
