Rome, Nov. 20.-Delegates represent
ing forty-six nations in all parts of
the world were assembled in the mag
nificent marble palace erected in the
grounds of the historical Villa Borg
hese for the purpose when King Victor
Emanuel opened the first session of the
International Institute of Agriculture
today. The organization which owes
its existence to the initiative and eff
forts of King Victor Emanuel, and has
met with the warm support of nearly
all civilized governments, has for its
principal object the collection of COM
plete and reliable information concern
ing the farm crops in all parts of the
world. It's organization is not yet com
pleted, but will be perfected during
the session opened today According
to the program favored by a MAORI
ty of the delegates a number of special
departments or bureaus will be created,
each to have charge Of some particular
branch of work, as the gathering of
crop statistics, the collecting of in
formation concerning the wages paid
for farm work, new diseases of vegeta-
ton and effective remedies, agricultural
cooperation, insurance and credit, sim
plifcation of weights and measures
ETC.
The plan of forming this institute
was suggested by King Victor Eman-
uel about three years ago and the Ital-
ian government entered upo nnegotia-
lions with the governments of other
countries with a view of obtaining
their support of the movement in the
form of binding conventions. AT frs
his plan did not receive much encour-
agement in Germany, France and Eng
land, but the United States ratified sucf

been a complete change of sentiment
in regard to this matter in Germany

Distrusts The People.

Candidate Jacobson evidently has
little respect for the judgment of
the voters, and little confidence in
their ability to decide public poll
cies themselves without the help of
party bosses.
In one Of his recent speeches he
said: IF there are any who feel
that they cannot vote for the head
Of the ticket, let them 60 over and
vote the whole Democratic ticket.
Some people have got to the point
where they feel that they are not
exercising their full rights as indie
pendent voters unless they scratch
their ticket at some place; and they
usually scratch it at the wrong
place."
1t is from such Illuminating SEN
timents as these that the voters
who are not already acquainted
with jacobson will become so init
mately acquainted with him before
the campaign is over that they will
decide with practical unanimity
that he is not a fit man for the
place of high responsibility he
seeks. In his campaign speeches
Jacobson is saying that he stands
just where he did fifteen years ago.
The most conclusive evidence he
has yet given of that is to be found
in the above quotation from his
speech. The man who confesses
that he stands where he stood fif-
teen years ago confesses that hu-
manity and progress have gone far
beyond him. In that time the peo-
pie have made progress, and one of
their chief means of getting ahead
has been the exercise of their right
to choose for themselves without
the dictation of selfish and corrupt
party bosses.
Mr.. Jacobson's statement can
mean, but one thing. The people
are not fit to judge for themselves,
but must take the dictation Of the

Cleveland, O., Sept. 29.-Archi-
bald S. Whites SIS, 900, 900 Colum-
bia gas combine was injected into
the national campaign today when
Lawyer H. B. Johsnon Of Cleveland
sent letter about it to William H
Taft.
Johnson tells Taft of the suit
against the Columbia combine which
johnson filed for Margaret K.
Smith, a local stakeholder in the
Peoples Gas Light Company of
Cleveland.
In this suit he tells Taft he ac-
cused Charles P. Taft OF Cincinnati
and "certain gentlemen associated
with him, representing Standard
Oil interests, Of having promoted
a combination of all the gas light
companies Of Cincinnati and Cleve-
land with the idea of preventing
competition
johnson in his suit charged vio-
'atlon of the Valetine antitrust
law, and that he had proof of the
charges.
johnson says in his letter that he
then went to Attorney General
Wade Ellis and asked him to bring
quo Warranto proceedings against
G.. P. Taft and the other combiners.
This the attorney general refused
to DO.
In his letter johnson calls atten-
tion to the fact that Ellis was the
Taft choice to write the Republican
national platform, and has since
been selected as Assistant Attorney
General of the United States.
In conclusion he asks Taft this
question: "Since your brother is

tinue to din it into their ears. At
least they are just as ready to do
that as they are to be whipped into
line to vote against the man whom
they want for governor. Eddy eu-
logized Jacobson and attacked Gov.
johnson. He denounced the COVER
nor's keynote speech as an attempt
at pettifogging and his record on
temperance legislation. AS an
apostle of no-license lat $25 night

to carry great weight on the tenn
perance issue and for this reason
was selected to follow up the gov
ernor at Willmar, but if he sue
ceeded in proving that jacobson
will 60 any farther than johnson in
the temperance question, we failed
to note it. The fact is that the
party that Mr.. Jacobson claims to
represent so faithfully is respon-
sible for the miscarriage of all
county option bills so far intro
duced, and the convention which
nominated jacobson deliberately
cut out any promise for any further
temperance legislation in it's plat
form. If any voter wishes to make
his vote emphasize the temperance
issue particularly, let him vote for
the prohibition nominee. A pro-
hibition orator who goes out and
advocates the election of a straight
ticket headed by Taft, who took the
stump against prohibition in Okla
homa, and which contains the name
of Eberhart, who appointed a senate
temperance committee that stood s
to l against county option, can
hardly hope to enthuse temperance
voters to any great degree. Eddy
made no votes for jacobson at Will
mar.

dwindled down to two sets, namely
crimson and cream, and purple and

and after the ballots were counted
it was found that the number of
votes exceeded the number of the
said class. The vote was declared
void by the president and a second
vote was taken, but this also ended
up with the same result. Finally
a third vote was taken and the

party bosses. and swallow the whole
ticket placed before them. Don't
venture to scratch your ticket, .
says Candidate Jacobson: you are
sure to make mistake; you don't
know enough to choose for your
self. You must accept what the
bosses give you. for they know what
is best for you. If you can't vote
for every candidate on the ticket,
don't vote for anybody on it,
That may have been good logic fif-
teen years ago. but it is very poor
logic now. The people have ceased
taking the advice of the bosses
they have ceased voting tickets
straight no matter how many ras-
Gals and incompetents there might
be upon them; and the result, in
Minnesota and in every other state
of the Union, has been better and
cleaner and fairer government of,
by and for the people.
The spectacle of jacobson crack
ing the party lash supplied him by
the Dunns, the Reeses and the
Shevlins of the party machine,
knowing that only by an appeal to
the senseless partisanship that swal-
lows the ticket blindly and without
discrimination can he hope to win,
is a strange one in Minnesota. The
people have learned that they know
quite as much about their own in.
terests as the bosses do, and they
have been voting their own convic-
tions for several years. By doing
SO they have brought about the best
state administration in the history
Of the commonwealth, and the ap.
peal to blind partisanship upon
which Jacobson hopes to win will
stir them to laughter and not to a
reactionary revolution that would
place the state a dozen years back
in its progress.
JACOBSON says the people usually
scratch their tickets in the wrong
place. We believe that they usual.
ly scratch their tickets in the right
place, and that they are going to
do it again in about a month. .-Du.
