HISGEN AND HEARST OPEN CAM
PAIGN IN LOUISVILLE.
Former Says He Has Called the
Presidents Bluff-Latter Assails
Democratic Candidates.

LOUISVILLE, KY, September 1.-THE
KENTUCKY campaign of the independence
party was opened last night at Phoenix
Hill Park by Thomas l.. Hisgen. the can
didate for President. and William r.
Hearst. II was the first public appear
ance in Louisville of either of the speak
ers, and each was given cordial wei
come by 15OO persons.
Mr.. Hisgen declared that the independ-
ence party was the first since the civil
war to give tangible evidence that it rep
resented the whole country. north and
south, by bringing together as its leaders
on the ticket a man from Massachusetts
and man from Georgia.
He announced himself as a business man
who intended 20 do things as he had
done them heretofore. and one OF whose
claims to cOnSide cation was his lie

the world He recounted the salient fea-
lures of his struggle with the Standard
Oil Company. When the fight reached its
crisis, he said. and the Standard cut the
prices to a ruinous figure he had appealed
to the highest court of all. the American
people. to choose between the Standard
Oil Company and Independent firm
which could cut prices no lower.
The people, to their everlasting honor
decided against predatory wealth. said
Mr. Hisgen. To-day the independence
party is making the same appeal to the
people to make stand against all special
privileges and monopoly-industrial and
political. And we make the appeal con-
fident that the response will be as en-
phatic and decisive as il was in the sin

Calls "Roosevelt's Bluff"
The candidate declared himself to be
the "only candidate of the three who can
call Mr.. Roosevelt's bluff and do justice
to the high-class scoundreis who are
ruling the country
Regarding the situation in New York
state as developed by the recent republ-
can and democratic conventions, Mr..
Hearst said:
Chan ler is but a gilded watch charm
on Murphy's chain. Hughes sole claim
to public consideration is his opposition
to race-track gamblng-one lone service
rendered the people, set over against how
many how MANY, to the corporations?
What business had Bryan to take such
allies as Murphy and McCarren and allow
them to choose the issues and lay out
the lines of battle? / stood with him
when he fought corruption: now that We
have a new Bryan a dangerously new

against him as hard as l fought for him.
Hearst Makes Hit.

came a voice from the crowd.

there retorted Mr. Hearst. pointing al
his interrupter.
a yell went up from the crowd and the
laughter and cheers came almost continu
ously during the remainder of Mr..
Hearst's speech. which was rehearsal
of the history and principles of the in
dependence party and an appeal to the
voters to support the candidate who
would not have to change their characters
and business methods in order to conduct
the government affairs.

Sweet Temper First Aid Toward Beauty

Beauty Of grooming, correct poise
and ability to make the most of ones
good points count for more than a
beautiful face. Any woman with a
passable face may be attractive and
even be considered beautiful, if she will
cultivate the art Of being well groomed.
There are so many great things
that 90 toward making a well-groomed
woman, said a well-known beauty
culturist. ''The first thing we teach
our patrons is the proper use Of the
mirror We teach the women to look
hopeful, how to wear their clothes, how
to make their eyes shine, to lift the
corners Of their lips, and to observe
what a pleasing effect is obtained.
After a time this becomes a habit, and
the mirror watchfulness is no longer
necessary. Good nature is an essential
to a woman who would appear at her
best. Grouchiness, or ill-temper, Il
her own worst enemy. Good nature,
