FEDERAL ELECTIONS.


In my last annual message said:
THE power of the government to
protect the integrity of the elections Of
its own officials Is inherent and has
been recognized and affirmed by re-
peated declarations Of the supreme
court. There is no enemy of free gov
eminent more dangerous and none so
insidious as the corruption of the elect
crate. No one defends or excuses cor
ruption. and it would seem to follow
that none would oppose vigorous meas
ures to eradicate it. l recommend the
enactment of a law directed against
bribery and corruption i'm federal cleo
tons The details of such law may
be safely left to the wise discretion of
the congress, but il should go as far as
under the constitution 1t is possible to
20 and should include severe penalties
against him who gives or receives
bride intended to influence his act or
opinion as an elector and provisions for
the publication not only Of the expend-
lures for nominations and elections of
all candidates, but also of all contribu-
tons received and expenditures made
by political committees"

All contributions by corporations to
any political committee or for any po-

to use stockholders money for such
purposes, and, moreover, prohibition of

New York, Oct. 2l,-The govern
ment's agricultural !. bureau, has an
nounced that the harvest of farm pro-
ducts this fall will be the largest in
the history Of the country and that
the wheat and corn crops are phenome-
nal, both as regards quantity and
the heart Of every American with
gratitude to a benefcent providence,
but there are some men who do NOT
feel so thankful for nature Is bountiful

traffic managers of the great railroads
that will be called upon to move this
tremendous crop from the growing
port points. =..g,,s'o,., n
To the average person the statement
that the corn crop of the United States
will surpass that Of. last year by. nearly
stwo hundred and forty million bushels
will mean that there will be more fod-
der for stock and that cereal foods will
be more plentiful and perhaps cheaper;
! that Europe will probably get the bene-
fit Of some geeod corn, which she wants a1t
statement that there will be 131, 000,-
900 bushels more wheat for market than

tatements are something to keep him

of bushels of wheat. barley, oats or

he does not get them. To make matters
worse for the traffic men, the barley
| crop, which is unusually good this year,
! began to- Il move in August a month
! earlier, than is customary. This was
| caused by lively demand for that
grain in Europe, and consequently
thousands Of box-cars which would
otherwise have been used to get COM
mercial products out of the way, in
time for the fall grain rush have been
demanded by barley shippers. In
brief. there is every prospect Of car
famine in the grain trade during the
remainder Of October. -
