SHOULD ORGANIZE
FOR BETTER PRICES.
Says Wilson to a Big Crowd
of Tobacco Raisers.
Every time Hager Tries to
Come Back He Lays
Him Low.

Hopkinsville, Ky, Oct. 12.-Movine
70 intense enthusiasm $500 Kentuck-
iars, Of Christian county, whose zeal
for the welfare of their State has
obliterated all party lines and differ
ences, Angus, us L. Wilson, the PEG
pies Candidate" for Governor, gave a
splendid exposition OF American prin-
ciple and policy at this place to-
day.
In the heart of the Kentucky dark
tobacco district where the depreda-
tons of might riders" have caused
the rest of the Stale 10 stand aghasl
at such fragrant lawlessness, the Re
publican leader made one of The most
inspiring and soul-stirring appeals for
the square deal" as exemplified by
President Roosevelt, and for love be-
tween neighbor and neighbOr ihaC Ken
lucky has ever heard.
Taking a stand for the enforcement
of laws and order, and the recognition
of individual rights, the firmness of
which could not be questioned, Mr..
Wilson evoked storm of applause
that shook the rafters of the Union
Tabernacle, in which he spoke. This
auditorium which was constructed FOR
revival purposes, seemed APPLY fitted
for to-days demonstration. 1t has a
seating capacity of about 3,000,and ex-
cept for few vacant seats in the
gallery, it was filed when Mr.. Will
son arose to address the assembly.
In the audience were hundreds of 10
bacco growers, and it was TO them that
Mr.. Wilson especially directed a por-
ton of his eloquence. He told them
of his belief in the right of all men to
associate and organize for mutual ben
eft and protection, and it was with
pleasure that he had watched the to-
bacco growers fraternizing in this
manner for the purpose of obtaining
higher prices for their crops and Other
advantages not calculated TO accrue
from individual Effort.
He did not believe, though, that any
organization of that or any other kind
should be dedicated 10 anything bu'
law and order, and said that nine out
of ten Kentuckians agreed with his
views straight from the shoulder.
He said: 81 brook no compromise
with the disorderly spirits in any or
ganization. | condemn unreservedly
men who shoot into other mems hous-
es and injure their property and des-
troy their crops. l say this so that the
man who don't agree with me may
der Yentuckian."
Pointing his outstretched arm il
the direction af the State asylum
which could be seen through an open
window, he denounced the management
and conduct of the institution under
the present State administration as q
refuge of political henchmen, where
unfortunate Kentuckians were misuset
and maltreated in the name of poll
tics.
81 speak right here where some OF
the gravest wrongs and omst glaring
crimes have been committed in Ken
lucky. l pledge you that when / am
Governor that institutions out there
shall not be a nasty political machine.
Mr.. Wilson took some of the DEM
ocratic machine campaign speakers
sharply to task for raising the stale
cries of negro domination and negro
equality in their desperate efforts to
dodge real important issues before the
people.
He appealed to the sensible men, to
whom he was talking, as to their
opinion of Congressman Stanley, for
instance, who has been "eating fire.
of this kind for some weeks.
you men have boards on your
faces" he said, what do you think
of the moral and political condition
of a man who says that vote for
me and my ticket means mixed
schools? Must be beneath the con-
tempt of honorable Kentuckians.
laundering to the climax of his adj
dress in wonderful burst of elo'
quence and earnestness Mr.. Wilson
said: What mean these large audiences
of the State? 1t means the uprising
of the people against greed and OPP
preston and the throttling Of their
rights. 1t means the same resolu-
ton that shook Republican Pennsylva'
mia and swept a Democratic Governor
into office. It means that this isn't
a Republican matter, but a Kentucky
