the MEANING OF 1T.

The Thirtieth legislature enacted a
great many new laws, good, bad and
different, but this is no excuse for in
discriminate condemnation OF all that
IL did. The courts have wisely de
cided that some of its less important
acts are unconstitutional, and every
time such a decision is announced a
great shout goes up from the monopo-
list organs as though the walls OF a
city of Jericho had fallen. The really
important laws. enacted in response
TO the Democratic platform demands,
still stand as impregnable bulwarks
TO prOtect the liberties of the people
against the raids and assaults OF law
less and INSCRIPTIONS combinations,
who are bowling, Turn Texas loose,
so that they can exploit its resources
and its people without let or nm
drance.
The insidious attempt to deceive
tie people by a catchy phrase and
glittering generalities will not sue
coed. for they know that 1t means the
destruction of the patient and arduous
work of many years. Ever since j.
S. Hogg was first elected governor
he and his colaborers, the true Irleuus
of the people, have been struggling 10
get certain great reforms crystalized
into laws. At least five of these re-
ferns are embodied in acts OF the
Thirtieth legislature. They are the
law forbidding the gambling dens
known as bucket shops; the law re-
straining the capacity of the lobby
wolves: the law forbidding politicians
and the agents of corporations to rlde
on free passes at the expense OF the
common people who buy tickets and
nav for them; the law requiring the
great insurance companies to invest
a part of their Texas earnings in Tex
as; the law requiring the great corpo-
rations to bear their share of the bur
dens of taxation, thereby lifting an
annual burden of $2,500,OOO of the
farms and homes of the people
These are the laws that the organs
of monopoly and the agents OF cor
porate greed are seeking to strike
down. If the people suffer them to
have their will the people deserve to
be hewers OF wood and drawers OF
water

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 2G.-Gov Has

ment:
The question is often asked wheth-

primary system. My answer is that
under the constitution all party can
didates for district, state, county and
municipal Offices must be nominated
by primary. This includes congress-
men and United States senators also,
and | state further that the state
election board will certainly place no
party candidates name on the ticket

rect primary The people adopted
that plan in the constitution, are en-
titled to have it in effect, and there
will be no exceptions to this rule"

thing to say, Secretary TAFT will not
be nominated lf he Is nominated
he will encounter the most bitter
antagouism within his party that has
been known to republican politics
since the days of Harrison's second
nomination
There are many curious stories
concerning the politics Of Taft 4
man high i'm the councils of the SEN
atorial combination told me today
that he had absolute information that
a somewhat celebrated private de-
teetiye agency in Washington was
employed by the secretary of war to
gather up information concerning
senators and representatives who
had not bowed their heads before his
candidacy in order that a big stick"
might be brandished against them If
they did not give allegiance to Mr..
Taft The assertion is not wholly
without some plausiblity. Here in
Washington it is a matter of noto-
riety that the methods Of coercion
first adopted by the president are
now being employed by the Taft
boomers. / have in my possession
the name Of the detective agency
employed by him for this purpose,
and should any question Dee raised "a
to the accuracy Of this charge that
name can be made public
Roosevelt not involved.
The very men who charged Taft
with unwarrantablo methods in press.
ing his campaign refused to attack
Roosevelt, although none of them to
whom have talked has been
Roosevelt man. As a senator said 20
me today, Il don't think Roosevelt
would be a party to the Taft private
detective plan. He might adopt al
most any device to press his own
cause, to advance some cause in
which he is vitally interested. Yet
do not believe that for Taft alone
he would adopt such methods"
What the senator said seems TO
suggest that the cause of Taft is not
one i'm which Mr. Roosevelt is vital
| ly Interested, and indeed from other
public men | learn that the general
! feeling is that the president has used
Taft as a stalking horse and is now
about ready TO discard him. one OF
the men closest to speaker Cannon
said to me in the house cloakroom
only few hours ago that in his be
lief Mr.. Roosevelt was not merely
playing for a stampede of the conven'
tion to him, but that Taft was a
party to the plan. Perhaps the 10y
atty of my informant to speaker Can
non may have affected his judgment

who enjoys the condolences of more
United States senators than possibly
