WILSON HITS TARIFF AND TRUSTS IN KEYNOTE Great Crowd at Seagirt as the Governor Is Officially Told of His Nomination. DEMANDS IMMEDIATE REVISION DOWNWARD ‘‘Trusts Have Flourished Under Republican Ban, and Regula tion Is Needed,’’ He Says. SEAGIRT, N. J., Aug. 7.—-Woodrow Wilson, governor of New Jersey, in the presence of several thousand friends and admirers from many states, this afternoon accepted the Democratic nomination for president of the United States. The speech of notification was made by Senator-elect Ollie James, of Ken tucky, head of the notification com mittee. In his response, which was a masterpiece of rhetoric and beautiful English and full of trite sayings and snappy sentences, Governor Wilson at tacked the tariff and trusts and out lined the things for which he, as stand ard bearer of the party, stands. He demanded an immediate reduction downward of the tariff and real regu lation of tusts. The day was beautiful and the lawn of the "little white house” was thickly covered with people. There was no restriction as to who might attend the ceremonies. Only a small space about the speaker's stand was roped off for the committee and party officials, and the remainder of the lawn was given over to the public. Governor Marshall of Indiana, Dem ocratic nominee for vice president, was present. Governor Wilson’s family, his broth er. Joseph R. Wilson, one of the edi tors of The Nashville Banner, and his sister, Mrs. Annie Howell, with her daughter and baby granddaughter, from Raleigh, N. C., were also present. Mr. James was cheered as he con cluded. A greater cheer arose as Dr. Wilson arose. Governor Wilson Thanks Committee. Governor Wilson said, in part: "Mr. James and Gentlemen of the No tification Committee: Speaking for the National Democratic convention, recently assembled at Baltimore, you have noti fied me of my nomination by the Demo cratic party' for the high office of presi dent of the United States. Allow me to thank you very warmly for the generous terms in which you have, through your distinguished chairman, conveyed the no tification. “1 accept the nomination with a deep sense of its unusual significance and of the great honor done me, and also with a very profound sense of my responsi bility to the party and to the nation. You will expect me in accepting the honor to speak very plainly the faith that is in me. You will expect me, in brief, to talk politics and open the campaign in words whose meaning no one need doubt. You will expect me to speak to the coun try as well as to yourselves. "We can not intelligently talk politics unless we know' to whom we are talking and in what circumstances. The present circumstances are clearly unusual. "We stand in the presence of an awak ened nation, impatient of partisan make believe. "The nation has awakened to a sense of neglected ideals and neglected du ties; to a consciousness that the rank and file of her people find life very hard to sustain, that her young men find op portunity embarrassed, and that her old er men find business difficult to renew' and maintain because of circumstances of privilege and private advantage which have interlaced their subtle threads throughout almost every part of the frame-work of our present law. Now Living in A New Age. "Plainly, it is a new age The tonic of such a time is very exhilarating. It requires self-restraint not to attempt too much, and yet it would be cowardly to attempt too litle. The path of duty so berly and bravely trod is the way to serv ice and distinction, and many adventurous feet seek to set out upon it. "The platform is not a program. A pro gram must consist of measures, adminis trative acts and acts of legislation. "What is there to do? It is hard to sum up the great task, but apparently this is the sum of the matter: There are two great things to do. One is to set up the rule of justice and of right in such mat ters as the tariff, the regulation of the trusts and the prevention of monopoly, the adaptation of our banking and cur rency laws to the varied uses to which our people must put them, the treat ment of those who do the daily labor in our factories and mines and throughout all our great industrial and commercial undertakings, and the political life of the people of the Philippines, for whom we hold governmental power in trust, for their service, not our own.

Massee, the Macon, Ga.. capitalist, will not be taken to Tennessee to an swer charges in the courts of Maury county at Columbia. This afternoon Judge Thomas S. Sease held that the requisition on which Mr. Massee was arrested in Spartanburg twelve days ago. while passing through South Carolina en route to Georgia from an Eastern busi ness trip, was invalid. He also de-, clared that the ease appeared to him to be an effort of the Tennessee prose cutors to collect a debt through the criminal courts. Judge Sease's decision was on habeas corpus proceedings instituted by Mr. Massee at the time of his arrest. His bondsmen were relieved of further re sponsibility to the South Carolina courts and all claim against him in this state was dismissed. Attorneys for Mr. Massee attacked the validity of the requisition by which It was sought to extradite him to Ten nessee on the ground that the papers were not signed by Governor Ben W. Hooper, of Tennessee, having been is sued by his secretary during his ab sence from Nashville. On this point hinged the outcome of the proceedings. Massee Suffers From Attack of Vertigo.

Felton Hatcher, Roland El lis and W. D. McNeil, of Macon, and Sanders & DePass and Cecil C. Wyche, of Spartanburg. Judge Sease ruled that as Mr. Mas see was under SIO,OOO bond, the hear ing could proceed in his absence upon a consent order from Mr. Massee agree ing to that course, which was intro duced. An affidavit from Dr. H. P. Derry, of Macon, Mr. Massee’s regular physician, was presented stating that Mr. Massee was 111 and would be in danger of a physical collapse should he be brought from Macon to Spartan burg. Before presenting the consent order and affidavit Mr. Massee’s at torneys had made a motion for a post ponement of the hearing, which Judge Sease overruled. Mass of Evidence Presented to Court. It was noon before the preliminaries as to whether or not the hearing should proceed had been disposed of and the case was taken up on its merits. C. P. Sanders, one of the attorneys seeking to have Mr. Massee returned to Ten nessee, submitted a mass of document ary evidence, reciting the complete his tory of the case from the time Mr. Massee was indicted until today, in cluding the two extradition hearings conducted before governors of Georgia, when Tennessee requisitions were not honored, and the proceedings in this state whereby Governor Blease hon ored a requisition and permitted the arrest of Mr. Massee as he was passing through South Carolina, returning to Georgia from the East. The original indictment was not in troduced at the hearing, but the min utes of the Tennessee court, where the case was first tried, were Introduced. Il was held that these minutes did no’ constitute the indictment and were not as accurate as the indictment would be if it were in the possession of "the cou’t here. Long arguments were made by attor neys on both sides at each point in the case and it was exceedingly slow in reaching a decisive point. GIRL PITCHER WINS A BALL GAME FOR MEN NEW YORK.

CONVENTION HALT* CHICAGO, Aug. 7.—The name of Theodore Roose velt was placed before the National Progressive party convention this aft ernoon by William A. Pendergast, of New York, who delivered the nomi nating speech he had prepared to de liver in naming the colonel at the Re publican national convention. Owing to an unexpected delay in finishing the platform, to expedite matters the con vention proceeded to hear nominating speeches. The working plans of the convention were given a sensational upset when an eleventh hour hitch occurred over the platform. It had been completed and turned over to Colonel Roosevelt for his approval, but certain sections had to be revised before he would ac cept It and the resolutions committee asked for more time. The convention officers were notified that It might be possible for the com mittee to report by 2:30 p. m. Early Drafts Displease Colonel. It had been planned to effect the permanent organization and adopt the platform with a rush and then proceed with the nomination of Colonel Roose velt and his running mate. Colonel Roosevelt had looked over a draft of the platform late last night. Then he had suggested changes. The committee labored all night and made the changes he had suggested. The new draft was turned over to the colo nel about 9 o’clock. At 10:45 o’clock he gave It back to the committee, sug gesting changes that required the re writing of five paragraphs.

Scott, of Alabama, chair man of the committee, recommended that the temporary officers be made permanent. A motion to adopt the report was carried unanimously. The report of the committee on rules was then called for.

It was: “This party shall hereafter be known as the Progressive party.” Representation To Be By Party Vote. The next rule was an innovation. It provided for representation in conven tions based on the vote for the party at the preceding election. The basis was a delegate to every 10,000 votes for the Progressive having the highest number of votes. The pronouncement on primaries was equally strong. It directed that dele gates to the national convention should be chosen by primary in states having such laws, no matter whether the law was mandatory or optional.
