Mr.. Monnett denied that he made
speeches in Oklahoma generating
Governor Haskell, but that in fairness
to the governor he had stated the
facts as they had come to him and
said that if the charges were proved
he would return to Oklahoma at his
own expense and denounce him.
In Justice to Governor Haskell Mr..
Monnett stated that the governor had
repeatedly asked an opportunity to
d1sprove the charge and had been SUBJ

AT GEORGE AIDES FARM.
Taft Addresses Large Crowd of Indi-
ana Farmers.

ana Farmers.
Brook, Ind, Sept. 2t.-All forenoon,
from miles around the countryside,
buggies, carryalls, hayracks and farm
vehicles of every description crowded
the roads leading to Hazelden, the
country home of George AIDE, where
Judge Taft delivered an address.
When the candidate, seated in the
humorist's big auto, reached the farm
he was driven through a veritable
gauntlet of vehicles hitched to the tel
ephone poles, fence posts, trees or
anything else calculated to restrain
the horses.
Not only were AIDES neighbors pres
ent in force, but there were delega-
lions from all over Indiana and from
Cincinnati and Chicago. Combining
political symbolism with practical hos
pita]ity Mr.. AIDE furnished the lunches
for all in full dinner pals"
Judge Taft addressed the throng
from a grand stand erected to give
a sweeping view to AIDES corn crop,
his blooded cattle and his aristocratic
dogs, which had the run of the lawn.
In beginning his address Judge Taft
alluded to his host as the Indiana
sultan of Zulu" and declared that the
Philippine originals had no advantage
over AIDE as an entertainer. Then,
with all the evidences of rural pros
perity about him, the candidate began
a discussion of political conditions as
they affect the farmer.

NO EVIDENCE PRODUCED.
Chairman Mack Discusses Charges
Against Haskell.

New York, Sept. 3 Chairman
Mack of the Democratic national COM
mittee said that if the same evidence
was produced against Governor Has,
kell, treasurer of the committee, as
was produced against Senator Foraker
he would expect the treasurer to act
as Senator Foraker did, but no evil
dence of such character has been ad-
duced up to the present time. The
national chairman said he had no CON-
munication with Governor Haskell or
Mr.. Bryan with regard to the charges
that had been made. Mr.. Mack said
that Mr.. Haskell had been selected
treasurer by the members of the ex-
ecutive committee and that he was not
prepared to say whether his selection
had been brought about through MIR.
Bryan's influence or not.
Speaking of the report from Chicago
that the campaign fund of the Repub-
lican party was about 100000, Mr..
Mack said that the funds in the DEM
ocratic treasury were less than that.
He said that no contributions had been
received above $4,000 and that the
committee would abide by the rule
not to accept single contributions in
amounts larger than that sum.

w. R. Mackenzie, secretary of
the Belt1ami County Agricultural
Association, has suggested that the
business men of the city should
allow their employees to attend the fair
at least once during today, tomorrow
or Saturday, and the Pioneer be-
lieves that the suggestion is a good
one. All work and no play makes

in stores as we'll as those in other
walks of life.
Anyone who attends the fair can
not but be impressed with the true
worth Of this county along agricul-
tural lines, which will undoubtedly
be the general pursuit of the future
for Beltrami county.
When the timber is cut we will
have to till the soil, and anything
which will educate along those lines
should be welcomed.

SUBSCRlPTlON---s5.0 90 PER ANNUM
LIGHT TO BE THROWN on TAX COMMITS.
SlON'S WORK.

The State Boald of Equalization
proposes to know just what the
State Tax Commission has been
doing in the matter of attachments of
taxes during the past year and has
ordered that the commission furnish
the board with a list of all abate-
ments made during the year,
where the amount exceeds 500.
A telegram from St. Paul says of
the action of the State Board of
Equalization in the matter:
Resolved, That the clerk of this
board is hereby requested to secure
by Friday next, from the honorable
board of tax commissioners, a state
ment in detail by counties of all
attachments and refundments of
taxes made by them during the
past year, when the amounts in the
case of such individuals and cor
parations exceeds $780,
This resolution, introduced by
Thomas Maghan of Fillmore county
was offered at the meeting of the
equalization board Wednesday and
was approved by the body. There
was no debate.
The information, when secured
will let little light into the work
of the commission on this one point
which as far as the public is con-
cerned is rather vague. The men,
beers of the board behind it say it is
necessary, as they want to know how
much the assessors returns are
being sliced, especially as to cor
porations.
The recommendations for these
statements and refundments come
from the county auditors and they
are made unknown to the regular
taxing officials"

ANOTHER PLEA FOR
SUPPORT FOR TAFT
President Uses Foraker Incl
dent as an Argument

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 2 .-Secre-
tary Loeb gave to representatives OF
the press formal statement by the
president which was called forth by
the recent exchanges between William
r. Hearst and Senator Foraker of
Ohio Mr.. Hearst, in public utter
ances, had accused the senator of rela-
lions with the Standard Oil company
inconsistent with his duties as a SEN
ator and his attitude as a representa-
tive of Republican policies and pro-
fessions.
In his statement President Roose-
welt makes another appeal for the
support Of Mr.. Taft and declares that
his defeat would bring Tasting salts
faction to but one set Of men, namely,
to those men who, as shown in the
correspondence published by Mr..
Hearst, we're behind Mr. Foraker, the
opponent of Mr.. Taft within his own
party, and who now are behind Gov
ernor Haskell and his associates, the
opponents Of Judge Taft in the op-
posite party"
The statement 'embodies a letter
written by Mr.. Taft to friend in Ohio
on July 20, 1907, in which the present
Republican candidate for the presi-
dency refused to acquiesce in the plan
of the Ohio state central committee
to indorse Mr.. Taft for the presidency
and Mr.. Foraker for reelection to the
senate in single resolution.
The president points out that Mr..
Taft's attitude has always been direct
1y opposed to that charged against
Senator Foraker by Mr.. Hearst re-
garding the moneyed interests.
The president cites the Brownsville
affair as case where the agitation
was a phase of the effort "by the rep
resentatives of certain law-defying cor
porations to bring discredit upon the
administration" It was, he says, in
large part, mot genuine agitation On

the statement issued by President
Roosevelt will be made just yet by

that he had read what the president
had said, but that it was matter
which he did not care to discuss off,

could look up various letters and other
data on the subject discussed in order
that what he might say could be final.
These records are not in this city and
therefore not readily available, so that
