WHAT SENATOR
SCHOFIELD SAID
IN ACCEPTING THE NOMINATION
AGAINST CONGRESSMAN
GARDNER.

In my own town. on Saturday
last, my opponent received his nom.
ination. Special cars, automobiles
brass bands. dinner at the hotel for
over 500 people, were all part of the
program. There was great enthusi-
asm. Delegates. when you go to
your homes, tell your friends that at
tbs convention the bands, the dinner
and the automobiles were all lack
ing. Tell them that your candidate
is not able to arouse their enthusi-
asm in that manner, but that IL
elected. he will try at Washington, as
he has at Boston for the past Ave
years, TO enact laws to make 1t easier
for them to have a good dinner for
their family in their own homes 365

believe in immediate tariff reyis-
ion. Not by radical changes that
might destroy honest business en-
terprises. but by careful and Just
changes. that will leave an adequate
protection from cheap foreign com
petition. but will take away every
vestige OF that privilege which Mr..
Gardner admits now is given TOT q
few men to make too much mon
ey" at the expense of their fellow
men.
I believe and feel that even those
who are ardent advocates of the pro-
lection theory will agree that the
time has come to get back TO pro-
lection principles. Projection to in
FAINT industries is one thing, tarin
laws to fatten geat trusts Is another
To prevent the latter. immediate tar.

PROGRESSIVE
TAX ON FORTUNES
PRESIDENT CONSIDERING THE
ADVIsABILITY OF PRESENT.
ING THIS MATTER Ex-
TENsIvELY IN HIS
MESSAGE. ~

President Roosevelt is considering
the idea OF mentioning his plan for a
tax on fortunes In his annual message
and will probably do so. 1t Is not
his idea that anything can be done
with the subject during the next
session of Congress. the actual work
Of which will be confined to the
two months beginning with the first
week in January and ending with
the 4th of March. but the president
has always found 1t good policy to
bring such reforms to the attention
OF the country in a short session. so
as to arouse discussion and generate
public opinion for use In the long
session OF the following Congress.
He first brought the fortune tax
idea forward at the dedication OF
the congressional Office building on
April IA, in q somewhat tentative
way. and evidently for the purpose
of feeling the public pulse. It's recep-
ton evidently decided him in favor
Of pushing the idea at once instead
Of letting it go until some future
time. for he revived it in his speech
at the dedication Of the Pennsyl-
Sania state capitol at Harrisburg.
The next step will be to urge it ;n
his annual message. and perhaps to
secure the introduction OF some sort
of bill in the short session.
The presidents idea is for a pro-
gressive tax on all fortunes beyond
certain amount. either given in
life or devised or bequeathed upon
death to any individual" the objec-
being to prevent the handing over
OF large fortunes in their entirety
from one person to another. The
law would not pemit the devising Of
more than n certain amount to any
person.

Let equal justice be done to all. to
the end that all or the people may

During the past FIVE years as a
member OF the House and Senate |

his party best who serves the people
best" II is still my motto. and tell
you frankly that IL elected to serve
this district in Congress I shall vote
on all questions as my judgment and
conscience dictate. and that I will
not accept the dictation of any man,
group OF men. or any party. IL that
dictation bid me to say farewell to
Judgment and to put conscience to
sleep. Mr.. Gardner apparently re-
cognizes party above conscience and
judgment. / have no desire to emu
late him. pray God that in whatev-

An old railroader' way down In
tennessee writes to The Republican
expressing surprise that no allusion
was made by us. In discussing the
newspapers as an alleged cause OF the
postal deficit. to the ',nonstrous
robbery OF the government by the
railroads" sin their postal services.
This Is perhaps exaggeating the
railroad side OF the problem. but
there is no question that charges for
mail transportation are excessive
and should be cut down II for the
special congressional commission to
find out about this and say what
ought to be done. The newspapers
are paying their own way. as the
commission must have learned by
this time, and Its attention should
finally get around to the railroads.

At Several Places In the state-WiII

Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. 26.-sen-
ator Bailey will follow his formal
statement, published yesterday, by
several speeches, the first Of which
will be delivered at Greenville. Satur-
day, Sept 30 He was in conference
with his friends here yesterday con-
sidering whether he ought to take the
stump, and had reached the conclu-
sion TO do so when a telephone mes
sage came from Senator Looney at
Greenville, insisting that he speak
there next Saturday. Indeed. Senator
Looney said he had taken the liberty
of making the announcement already.
whereupon Senator Bailey assented to
meet the engagement. He has many
invitations and will reach them as
fast as possible Weatherford, Waxa-
hachie and Houston will be among the
early dates. Meanwhile the people Of
Gainesville are preparing "a monster
demonstration for next Saturday. Sew
eral prominent men will be- there to

Austin. Texas. Sept 2G-It was
learned that the Waters Pierce Oil
Company has employed counsel in
Austin to represent the defense in the
states suits for cancellation of per
NIT and penalties of S5.OOO,OOO. The
local attorneys employed are Penn &
Cochran. both ex-district judges of
this district, who resigned to engage
in private practice.
The general solicitor of the com
pany is John d. Johnson Of ST. Louis,
well known corporation lawyer of
the Middle West and a prominent fig
ure in Missouri. He represented the
company in its former experiences in
Texas. and as he is still at the head
OF its legal department, will again be
likely to assume the former role.
HornblOwer and other prominent
New York lawyers are also connected
with the Waters Pierce Company in
a legal capacity, and the attorney gen
eral Of this state will likely face an
imposing array Of counsel when the

WILLIAM R. HEARST
IS THE NOMINEE
WILL LEAD THE DEMOCRATIC
TICKET IN NEW YoRY STATE.
MURPHY TURNED THE TRICK.

Buffalo. n. Y, Sept. 27.-Wm. r.
Hearst was nominated this morning as
governor by the Democratic state
convention, but it cannot be said that
this has resulted in party harmony.
Murphy is credited with turning the
trick Murphy, maintaining his cum
ming policy of silence, never made a
specific declaration for Hearst. He
pretended that the sentiment in Tam
many Hall swayed him and led him
to HeaTsts support. He has been
open to conviction, apparently, but
only apparently, for the deal with
Hearst was made weeks ago, and it
has been carried out to. the letter.
Murphy was not expected to say any
thing. The plan was for Hearst to
get the delegates up. the state; for
William J. Corners of this city to
make the noise; for Tim Sullivan to
come in at the right time after max
ing a bluff for Sulzer. and for a COM
bination just before the convention Of
all forces and the nomination of
Hearst
Murphy drove a hard bargain with
Hearst. He demanded and got
Hearst's support for his local tickets
He got recognition for Corners. He
got help in his plan to humiliate Nc
Clellan. He got a place in state pol
itics which he thinks makes him lead
er, and he also made it plain that he
personally would never come out open
ly for Hearst, but would do his work
in the dark, so he could not be held
responsible for the nomination. but
could say he was forced to it by the
sentiment in his organization.

On First Ballot.

Buffalo. n. Y, Sept. 27.-2:25 a. m
William R. Hearst, alternately eu-
logized and vituperated in scathing
terms upon the floor of the conyen-
ton. Vas cary this morning lTOminat-
ed for governor on the first ballot by
the Democrats of New York, after an
all night session. The nomination
came after a day spent in fruitless at
tempts by his opponents and even
some of his unpledged supporters to
find a stronger candidate. Hearst
men, however, captured the organiza-
ton and put their man in, despite the
fact of William Travers Jerome's
threat to take the stump against him
and despite the fact that Mr.. Hearst
was more bitterly assailed on the floor
than any other successful candidate in
the history of New York politics. The
vote was Hearst 300, Sulzer 124, Dix
II; necessary to choice 226.
The ticket:
Governor-W r. Hearst.
Lieutenant Governor-Louis F.
Schanter.
Secretary of State-John Whalen.
COntroller-M NJ. G1ynn.
Attorney General-W. S. Jackson.
Treasurer-Julius S. Hauser.
