D[BS OBJECTS TO
U.S.. CONSTITUTION
Red Flags Greet Socialist Candi=
date for President at Greek
Theater in Berkeley
Gompers and Grosscup Are Att
tackled in Speech Gun Campus /.
of the University

BERKELEY, Sept. 12.-Red flags and
pennants, the color emblems of the
ultra socialistic cult, were waved fran
tically today on the campus of the Uni
versity of California today in welcome
to Eugene V. Debs, socialist candidate
for president of the United States.
Still harder waved the emblems when
they punctuated the cheers of 1900 or
more persons when Debs attacked the
constitution of the United States. The
demonstration was held at noon at the
Greek theater. Max Sterne, president
of the Students Social Progress club of
the University of California. presided.
President Wheeler, who attended the
meeting, met Debs at the close.
This was the first time that the uni
versity authorities had sanctioned the
use of the grounds by Socialistic as
semblage.
There was considerable argument as
to whether collection should be taken
up. This difficulty was passed over by
allowing those present to come forward
with contributions ito send the red spe-
cial east"
j. Aubrey Jones, a democratic writer
from Elmhurst, persisted IN his right to
question Debs on socialistfc theories.
This aroused considerable animosity
and after each question Jones was
greeted with Kisses and groans which
would have resolved into personal vio-
lence had not Debs calmed his hearers
and declared that Jones had right to
speak. Debs brought his hearers to
their feet when in reply to one of
Jones questions he said:
If socialism went into effect we
would not be ruled by a constitution
120 years old nor would we be governed
by the dead. The socialistic movement
s-A3- -~Ir Il
it the constitution would be absolutely
abolished, not reafffrmed.
Il hold the supreme court of the
United States in silent contempt" de-
clared Debs. In another outburst, re-
plying to the query from a man in the
audience, Debs said.
"Gompers is a worker of the work
ingman."

Union Labor Leader Defeated
and Opponents of ''Red' and
Black Hayes Nominated

SAN JOSE. Sept. 12.-An all day con-
vention was held here today by the
Santa Clara county republicans Out OF
a total of 196 delegates, 1913 were pres
ent- Candidates for judges, supervisors,
senator and assemblymen were noml-
mated and a platform adopted.s
The successful candidates were p. f.
Cosby and Judge ]. E. Richards for
superior court judges; George S. Walk
er for senator; Henry Aver, f. H.
Mitchell and A. L. Hubbard for super
visors; Robert L. Teller, assemblyman
hfty-flfth district; L. D. Bohnet. fifty
sixth, Daniel Hayes, fifty-seventh.
The convention was a compromise Q
between the union labor delegates and
the followers of the three supervisors,
Mitchell, Aver and Hubbard, who are
supporters of Red and Black
Hayes.
The choice of Teller, Bohnet and
Daniel Hayes to the assembly was not
particularly pleasing to the Hayes
brothers, former political bosses.
The defeat of the union labor leader,
Mayor Dawson, was mainly due to the
stand Of the delegates from outside OF
the city, combined with the efforts OF
the bar association of San Jose, who
favored the incumbent, J. E. Richards.
Judge +. B. Brown presided as chair

TAFT FAvORS BANK
SCHEME IN KANSAS
Says Platforms Reference to
Deposits Avoids Objections
Made to Democratic Plan
Replies to Letter OF Republican
Candidate for Governor OF
State, IndOrsing Plank

TOPEKA, Kan. Sept. 13.-w. H.
Taft, the republican presidential can
didate, in a letter to Walter r. Stubbs.
republican candidate for governor OF
Kansas. points out that the Kansas
platforms reference to bank deposit
insurance avoids the objections urgec
against the democratic national plat
form Judge Taft's letter follows:
MIDDLE BASS ISLAND, Sept. 4.
Il agfee with you that the action OF
the republicans of Kansas as to an
enabling act by which banks in Kan
sas may voluntarily guarantee each
others deposits is very different from
the proposition in the democratic plat
forms enforcing a tax against all
guarantee the recklessness and dis
honesty of every other bank. Under
the system proposed. for instance in
the state Of Connecticut, Mr.. Hill has
shown that in the course OF four years
the banks and depositOrs OF COnneeti-
cut would pay out 100000 and receive
nothing back, and that the 100000
Wall street banks. which. through the
manipulation of stock gamblers. would
use all the deposits for the purpose OF
promoting wild speculation.
Il do not have the statistics, but
have no doubt the same thing, in per-
haps less marked degree, would be
true in Kansas. OF course you could
not expect me to express an opinion
on a state measure OF this sort. be-
cause state legislation is not involved
in the national issues; but you are
certainly at liberty to say. what I sin
cerely believe. that the proposition in
the Kansas platform avoids altogether
-
speech of acceptance. to the democratic
proposition for national enforced in
surance Of deposits in all banks. The
Kansas proposition comes within the
saving clause, which I expressly in
serted, to show that the objection I
had to make was not applicable TO
such a system. Very sincerely yours,

when Is years old, being left a for

died. At present she is being sued for

ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use when There's an Eas.
Way Ont

Along with the coffee habit has grown
the prevalent american Disease
nervous prostration.
The following letter shows the way
out of the trouble:f
Five years ago I was great coffee
drinker and from it's use / became SO
nervous ] could scarcely sleep at all
nights. My condition grew worse and
worse until finally the physician / con-
suited declared my troubles were all
due to coffee.
But being so welded to the beverage
/ did not see how I could do without it,
especially at breakfast, as that meal
seemed wholly incomplete without cof-
fee.
"On visit some friends deprived me
of coffee TO prove that it was harmful.
At the end of about eight days I was
less nervous, but the craving for coffee
was intense, so I went back to the old
habit as soon as L got home and the
old sleepless nights came near making
wreck of me.
Il heard of Postum and decided to try
1T. | did not like it at first, because,
as I afterwards discovered, it was not
made properly. l found, however, that
when made after directions on the
package, it was delicious.
1T had a soothing effect on my nerves
and none of the bad effects that coffee
had, so I bade farewell to coffee and
have used only Postum since. The most
wonderful accountgof the benefit to be
derived from Postum could not exceed
my own experience" There's a Rea-
