The Tucker petition. containing lis. 900
words, went TO the governor today.
Rev. William Copley Winsow. who has
been active I'm behalf OF Tucker. and has
long known the Page family, said:
II believe that Edward Page went to
his grave with knowledge of facts which
he did not care TO reveal. l know that
he never expected Charles Tucker would
be found guilty OF the murder OF Mabel
Page.
II am not at liberty to disclose all the
conversation between Mr.. Page and my
self. had long interview with Mr..
Page before the trial He felt that Tucker
was an innocent man, and he surely
anticipated his acquittal.
Mrs. Freeman. sister OF Mabel Page,
told me emphatically that she never gave
Mabel Page the Canadian stick pin or
any pin such as Amy Roberts declared
she had given TO Mabel Page, and upon
which the government III a measure con-
victed Tucker.
II have known the Page family for
years. And one long talk which I had
with Mr.. Page just before the trial Is
particularly sacred TO me.
II will say that he believed Tucker to
be innocent"

THE DEMOCRATIC
COMMITTEE Did
NOT MEET TODAY

There was no meeting OF the ex-
ecutive committee of the Democratic
state central committee this after
noon, unforeseen contingencies having
made II advisable to defer the meeting
to the call of Chairman Fitzsimmons.
1t was thought that Col Robert H.
/. Goddard, the Democrat It's rndepend-
ent nominee for senator. might send a
letter to the committee today formally
announcing his acceptance of the nom
ination, but the letter was not ready.
Col. Goddard has however. given
some thought to the subject: and while
the committee expects that his letter
will be an expression OF his own views
respecting state conditions. II is be-
lieved that he would sound the battle
cry OF the Democratic- Independent
campaign.
That IL will be a warlike cry no
one acquainted with him will deny.
The vigorous statements he made to
the committee which requested him to
permit the use OF his name In an EFFORT
TO redeem the state from misrule prove
that abundantly.
His love for the state. his interests
here, his associations and his high con-
cepGon OF public duty are expected
TO combine TO infuse into his letter OF
acceptance a tone that cannot be mis-
taken and that will cause no end OF
uneasiness in the ranks OF his enemies,
who are no less the enemies OF the
state
The committee intended TO discuss
registration today. IL has received
most encouraging reports from all
sections OF the state. and Democratic
leaders say the outlook Is most prom
ising. .

against the Newporter TO induce him to
leave the field TO the rubber magnate: but
IL Is said that up to this morning he had
given no intimation OF his attitude fur
ther than the action OF his friends I'm Mid
dletown In indorsing his candidacy some
weeks ago
The fact that he was importuned to
deny the statements contained In the
News-Democrat. and that not a word Of
denial has yet been penned or spoken by
him, is thought to tend to confirm the
impression that there was too much Of
truth I'm the story OF his contemplated re-
tirement TO make comment desirable.
Some OF the senator's friends in this
section OF the state yet scout the idea that
he will leave the field TO Col. Colt, and
declare that IL he does so. under the cir
cumstances indicated. II will prove disas-
trous 10 the Republican party. as the
senator has many friends who will not
support Col. Colt for reasons which they
make no bones or stating

today.
Mr. Stebbins wrote a very mild letter
10 the commission. IL appears. IL stated
merely that he had learned that the
commissions report criticised him, and
asked II IL were true.
II so. he would like TO have a copy OF
the references made to him.
His letter contained no threat what
ever. and caused no uneasiness among
the commissioners. IT is needless to say.

INVESTIGATIONS.

All signs point to a time in the early
future when corporate greed shaiI no
longer Cypress the downtrodden millions.
The corporations are all 10 be %investi-
gated. Mr.. GARFIELD already has the
thumbscrews on the Standard Oil and the
coal barons. Mr., MOoDY has the Beef
Trust on the rack and is about to put he
elevator companies in the same painful
predicament. He also has the Sugar
Trusp on his list. Congress is diligently
passing bills to Investigate everything
that these gentlemen have overlooked,
These enterprises are in all respects
~commendable. The good citizen, the
merchant, the farmer, the professional
man, compelled to believe that the
country is sliding rapidly down the
slippery slopes to Sheol, takes heart OF
grace when he sees Mr.. MOODY inc Mr..
GARFIELD and the Congress. throwing
on the emergency brakes. The country
is to be saved by Investigations. 1t is
true that this system of boring into the
secret dens of commercial greed and
political% corruption is not always produce
tive of important results, The quaklng
of that awful mountain of graft in the
Post Office Department, SO disturbing
while it lasted, has resulted in the brief
incarceration of two or three now almost
forgotten offenders. The probing of
Kansas oil frauds and the alleged open
ing up of quite an assortment Of railway
iniquities are little remembered.
But whether little or much is accom-
plished by these Investigations they are
accepted by the public as outward and
visible signs of vigilance. The public
conscience approves them, and while the
Investigations proceed the public goes
about it's business of buying, s~elling"and
getting gain, They sometimes do good
Reldom harm.
