    FREE TRUDE NOT
ffl OF WILSON,
HE ASSERTS
We Must Weed Out Industrial
Garden That We Have Been
Cultivating. He Says.
CLEVELAND. OHIO, Oct. 12.—Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic
candidate tor president, in a speech
here denied that he was an advocate of
fe e trade He said there can not be
free trade in the United States so long
as t’.ie established fiscal policy of the
Federal government is maintained.
The Federal government,” said the
governor, "has chosen throughout the
generations that have preceded us to
maintain itself chiefly on indirect in
terest of direct taxation. I dare say we
.hall never see a time when it can alter
that policy in any substantial degree,
and there is no Democrat of prudence,
or thoughtfulness, that I have met who
contemplates a program of free trade.”
The candidate devoted most of his
thought to what has now become known
ls his pet theme— special privilege.
He spoke with more than usual ear
nestness and eloquence on this subject
and roused his hearers to a high state
of enthusiasm.
In a burst of generous spirit, not al
ways encountered in candidates, Gov
e-nor Wilson declared that he yielded
to no man in his personal admiration
of President Taft. This sentiment elic
ited rounds of applause. He also paid
a warm tribute to Senator LaFollette,
again applying to him the term of “The
Litt’e Giant of Wisconsin” —the candi
date declaring that he felt a kindred
spirit to all those in the ranks of pro
gres. ive Democracy, regardless of their
labels.
In outlining the tariff policy of the
Democratic party, Governor Wilson
spoke in part as follows:
Weed the Garden of Industry.
What we intend to do. what the
houee of representatives has been at
tempting to do ntid will attempt to do
again, and succeed, is to weed this
garden of industry that we have been
cultivating. If we have been laying at
the tools of our industrial enterprises
'his fertilization of protection we have
found that the stimulation was not
equa' in respect of all the growths in
the garden, and that there are some
g.ntvths which every man can distin
guish with the naked eye, which have
so overtopped the rest, which have so
thrown the rest into destroying shadow,
that it i- impossible for the industries
of the United States as a whole to pros
per under their desolating obstruction.
In other words, we have found out that
this that professes to be a process of
protection has become a process of
favoritism, and that the favorites of
this policy have flourished at the ex
pense of all the rest. We are going iftto
our garden, therefore, and weed it. We
are going to give the little plants air
and light in which to grow. We are
going to pull up every root that has so
-pread itself as to draw all the nutri
ment of the soil front the other plants.
" e are going to see to it that fertiliza
>°n of intelligence, of invention, of
origination, is once more applied to a
of industries now threatening to be
•tagnant. because threatening to be too
much concentrated. That is the policy
"f the Democratic party in regard to
the protective tariff, as I understand it”
About Taft’s Vetoes.
in speaking of the present condition
"■ the government, Governor Wilson
ait! that it was neither flesh, fish nor
’ so far as party control is con
fined. He said that in the senate, a
inion of Democrats and so-called Re
ins have been, sending a Repub

THROATS SLASHED IN
SUICIDE AGREEMENT
GARRETT. PA., Oct. 12.—Edward
Tucker, aged 35, formerly a telegraph
operator in the United States navy, and
his wife, Eva, aged 26, were found dead
with their throats cut in their home as
the result, it is believed, of a suicide
pact.
Elinor, aged one year, the only child
of the Tuckers, was in the house at the
time. It is believed that Tucker first
cut his wife’s throat and then ended his
own life. Tucker’s father was outside
the house.

Democratic and the Republican parties,
or rather between the Democratic party
and those various other groups and
parts of parties that are masquerading
under all sorts of names, is that they
are willing to accept the discretionary
power of individuals, and we are not
willing to accept anything except the
certainty of law. That is the only
thing that has ever afforded salvation
or safety.”
Governor Wilson affirmed that the
problem confronting the American peo
ple was not one of revolution, but of
readjustment.
“And what I want to suggest.” said
he, “is that the only basis, the only
standard of readjustment, proposed os
suggested by our opponents is the
standard of principle. The expediency
of the situation is merely to see to it
that those who receive special privi
leges behave themselves, whereas our
principle is that nobody ought to re
ceive or retain special privileges at all;
that every special privilege shall be de
stroyed, not with a ruthless hand, not
in such a fashion as suddenly to upset
the conditions of business, but. never
theless, with the firmness and kindness
of the judicious parent. For the gov
ernment of the United States, at pres
ent, is a mere foster child of the special
interests. It Is not allowed to have a
will of its own. It is told at every
move. ‘Don’t do that. You will inter
fere with our prosperity.' When we
ask. 'Where is our prosperity lodged?'

“If I thought that the American peo

of commerce all small competitors, the
candidate said:
“I want conditions created which w ill
permit a man to begin business on ever
so small a scale and let him be safe in
biginning it on a small scale. He is
not safe now. because if he enters the
field where a great combination has
established a market, that combination
will undersell him in his local market,
which is his only market, making its
necessary profits in other parts of the
country, until he is killed off. and en
terprise after enterprise is nipped in its
infancy' by the monopolistic control of
our industrial markets. It would seem
as if America were about to see a
' generation grow up which must be a
generation of employees, unless it
makes up its mind to be a generation
of masters. The great militant, fight
ing, triumphant America the world has
known and admired is a nation of offi
cers. a nation of men who are their own
masters, a nation who will originate
their own processes of industry and of
life, and we shall never see the day, I
confidently predict, where America
will allow itself to be employed and
i patronized and taken care of.”
Must Redeem Our Trust.
After declaring that the people of the
old world had realized their dreams of
liberty in America, mentioning particu
larly Hungary and Italy, the governor
concluded with the following eloquent
' words:
“We are trustees of th* confidence of
mankind in liberty. If we do not re

AUGI'STA, GA., Oc, 12.—With five
companies of the National Guard under
arms, Augusta is quiet today and no
rioting is expected. The fact that all of
the saloons ale closed and no cars are

possibilities of disorder. Augusta Is
about as dry a town as any in Georgia.
The action of the Central Trades
council last night in agreeing to a prop
osition made at a meeting of citizens

further in regard to the sympathetic
strike until next Wednesday night,
when the trades council holds a regu

a special meeting is not issued before
that time.
Tlie guard at the power house has
been doubled and would-be rioters, re

BATTLE RAGES IS
FLEEING TURK
ARMYRALLIES
Over 3,000 Have Fallen, Killed
or Wounded—Montenegrins
Have Best of Fight.
PODGORITZA. MONTENEGRO, OcL
12.—Along a hundred-mtle battle line
Turkish and Montenegrin troops are
fighting in Albania today, with Scutari,
base of Turkish operations, the prize
for which they are contending. ,The
Turkish troops, retreating after over
whelming defeat, rallied today and for
a time threw back the Montenegrin pur
suers, but again had to take to flight
under the heavy cannonading of the
Montenegrin artillery.
Continued success crowds the efforts
of the Montenegrin troops. One de
tachment attacked and captured the
Turkish fortress at Rogame. near Tuzi,
in a night attack, taking the Turkish
defenders prisoners.
Fighting has now been continuous for
over 80 hours, and more than 3,000 have
been killed and wounded on both sides.
Hundreds of Turks have been taken
captives in the engagements at Det
chltch mountain, at Schipchtnk hill.
Berana, Rogame and in the battles
around the blockhouses west of Scutari,
on the southern banks of the Bojana
river.
Dispatches received today from Gen
eral Martinovitch, Montenegrin minister
of war, who Is leading the troops op
erating in the west, stated that he is
marching eastward, with Scutari the
objective point. His army will co-op
erate with that of Crown Prince Da
nilo. commander-in-chief of the central
division, in attacking the Turkish
stronghold at Scutari.
Terrible Scenes in Hospital,
Terrible scenes are presented at the
hospitals here at the Montenegrin mili
tary headquarters. The hospitals are
overflowing with wounded from the
front. There is a woeful lack of med
ical attention, due to scarcity of physi
cians and nurses and medical supplies.
Many of the wounded are dying from
lack of attention, despite the fact that
the government is doing everything
possible to care for the victims of Turk
ish bullets. King Nicholas visited tha
hospitals today, and as he walked be
tween the cots of the wounded he
stooped and kissed the forehead of each
soldier. The king wept at the sight of
suffering all about him, and spoke
words of cheer to those who are not
mortally wounded.
King Nicholas has given orders that
the Turkish prisoners be well treated.
They are being placed in a compound,
guarded by Montenegrin soldiers.
The Turkish commander who lost the
battle of Detchitch mountain, where he
was captured, was received today by
King Nicholas as a guest. Tile Monte
negrin king talked for a half hour with
his prisoner, and assured him that the
Turks would receive humane treatment
from their captors.
General Martinovitch will first attack
Fort Taraboche, a Turkish military
post, which commands the entrance to
Scutari upon the west. Its captura
means the fall of Scutari.
Long Range Guns in Use.
General Martlnovitch’s division is
strongly supported by artillery. When
the advance upon Scutart started from
the west. It was realized that long
range guns would be necessary to storm,
the western citadel, and a battery was
taken for this purpose.
With all the strategic points in tha
vicinity of Berana in the hands of the
Montenegrins, the capture of that town
is expected hourly. General Vukovitch
is in command of the column which is
operating there, and he reported to
headquarters that, he was advancing
upon Berana. with bright chances ot
success.
Turkish territory north and south oi
Montenegro is being plundered for pro
visions for the Montenegrin troops in
the field. Trains, protected by convoys
of soldiers, make daily excursions sot
various kinds of foodstuffs.
Although the Mallssori tribesmen,
the Christian tribe natives in Alba
nia, have not entered into league with
the Montenegrins, they are co-operat
ing with them in the war against the
Turks. Six thousand tribesmen are at
tacking the Turkish rear south of Scu
tari.

LEWISTON. IDAHO, Oct. 12.—The
housewives of this time have been hav

weeks camping in the orchards, or at

returning home only for well earned
rest. Everybody had to be content with
“quick lunch” meals or go to the restau
rants.
When the rush of the fruit harvest
came there was no response to the call
for help in the orchards. Some one
suggested that the women could do the
work and they were appealed to. They
responded with alacrity and worked dll.
