interest.
Bryan devoted himself principally to
a discussion of the platforms OF the
two parties, with special reference &c
publicity of campaign contributions,
election of senators by direct vote and
the tariff. He was unsparing in his at
tacks on the president and Taft and
once again declared that the .presideni

by participating in the campaign IN
stead of leaving Taft and himself te

AS for Taft, the democratic candi-

criticism, accusing him among other
things of borrowing all his ideas from

Response TO Attack on Colorado
+ Man Brings Approval From
Defenders of Service

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Sept. go
The anticipated attack in the national
irrigation congress upon the admins
tration's forestry policy came at the
morning session today, when d. =.
Beaman of Denver, in an address Gov
ering an hour, made sweeping ana
severe arraignment of the forestry al
ministration by Clifford Pinchot. AT the
afternoon session George Fl. Maxwell OF
Chicago made ringing response to the
attack of the Colorado man, Whlch
brought the defenders of the forestry
service to their feet in a demonstration
of enthusiastic approval Several west
ern men took part in the discussion
some attacking, others defending the
bureau, but the speech made by bea-
man and the reply of Maxwell over
shadowed all events OF the session
An attempt was made to cut Bea-
mans speech short by delegate VINO
demanded that the time limit or ~
minutes be enforced. President Goudy
declined to support the point of order
and the address was completed with
out further Interruption.
President Goudy stated that ne hao
invited Pinchot to attend the congress,
hoping that a debate could be arranged
between Beaman and the forester, put
that Pinchot had found it impossible
to attend.
Maxwell. editor of Maxweils Ialls-
man of Chicago. one of the founders
of the irrigation congress, departed
from the subject assigned TO him on
the program and launched at once into
the defense of the forestry service
His speech was frequently inter
rupted by prolonged applause. lie intl-
mated that the attack upon the service
was inspired by purely selfish motives
and closed with an eloquent tribute 10

Tending the forestry service, MADE

PRESIDENTS STAND
INDORSFD BY TAFT
Republican Nominee Speaks in
Bryan's Home City and An
swers His Challenge
Publication of Campaign Con-
tributions Intended to Pre-
vent Bribery at Election

LINCOLN. Sept 30-Accepting the
challenge of William ]. Bryan. right
in the home city of the Nebraskan,
William II. Taft tonight indorsed Presi-
dent Roosevelt's position on the ques-
tion of the publicity OF campaign con-
tributions.
Taft made IL speeches in Nebraska
today before reaching Lincoln and five
speeches in this city tonight. His audi
ences throughout were large and en-
thusiastic
Taft had intended in the big meet
ing tonight at the auditorium to reply
in his speech TO the challenge of Bryan
concerning campaign contributions He
became so engrossed, however, in other
topics that he made only an incidental
reference to this phase of the cam
paign and made an answer to the chal-
lenge in a formal statement which he
tonight gave to the press.
Tafts statement on campaign con-
tributions. in part, was as follows:
Mr.. Bryan challenges to take the same
position that President Roosevelt takes with
reference to the time when publicity should be
made of campaign contributions. and accept
the challenge.
/ take exactly the same position that the
president does. | have always been in favor
OF law which will require publicity OF both
contributions and expenditures Immediately after
election. Mr.. Bryan seems TO favor the puoilea-
tion OF contributions before election. but post
pones the publication OF expenditures until after
that time. | confess ! see reason why. IL
contributions to be publeshe before election,
expenditures should not also be published
/ think that the character OF the expendl-
lures Is quite as important the character
and source Of the contributions l don't know
OF any election law. either in this country or
abroad. which requires the publication OF con
trlbutions expenditures before the election
This was the law which the democratic man
ayers in 1904 In Nebraska so fagrantly violated
by failing TO return the receipt OF $4,000 from
Thomas F Ryan The most drastic law In this
country. on the subject is that OF New York,
which also takes the time for publication after
the election.
The proper object of publicity law Is 10
pre vent the use OF money for bribery and other
Improper purposes in elections and to enable
the law officers of the government and the
public to determine whether the contributions
made were properly expended for the legitimate
purposes.

STANDARD OIL LEASES
Mr. Roosevelt, let US not leave this
Standard oil company question without
inviting from you Information that we
really need. You made q ruling that
any person or corporation directly or
Indirectly could obtain under lease for
oil purposes in the Indian territory, and
renewed the lease on $4,000 acres Of
Illuminating oil company, and you
know that the agent of the Standard
oil company owned majority of the
stock. Why did you give them a.
monopoly in Usage nation oil lands?
Again Mr. Barnesdale. the well known
representative of the Standard oil com
pany, has leased. as / am advised by
Mr.. Shea of Bartlesville, on a little
over 100000 acres of Indian allotments
in the Indian territory. and L am ad-
vised that on account Of the contro-
versy brought to your personal atten-
tion, that you know of these excessive
lease holdings. Why did you do this?
You eritlcise my directing the dis
missal of the suit against the Prairie
oil and gas company. which could not
have been successfully maint tanned by
the state. Tell me, please. what your
reason was for directing the dismissal
of the suit against the Atchison. To-
peka and Santa Fe railroad. being
prosecuted by Judson, Harmon s, Jud-
son. special counsel. when the facts
disclosed that member of your cabi-
net paul Morton1 was being uncovered
as the prime offender? Answer this.
will you?
sLURs CORTELYOU
Mr.. Roosevelt. YOU cry out for purity.
You say you did not four years ago
know where the corporation fund was
coming from to secure your election
until the testimony of two years ago
disclosed the bargains and sales be-
tween Mr.. Cortelyou and the corrupt in
terests of Wall street. You have known
that fact for two years. and Mr.. Cortel-
you is still a member of your cabinet.
Now, Mr.. Roosevelt. while you are re-
flecting on these questions will you
Justify yourself in giving faith or credit
to any statement that has come to you
from your political associate. Mr..
Hearst, whom two years ago you brand
ed as the man chiefly responsible for
the assassination OF our late president?
Remember Mr.. President. If at your
next cabinet meeting YOU decide to try
me under any of your present. past or
future charges before your cabinet, sit
ting as Jury to try an honest man,
that / challenge Mr.. Cortelyou for
cause.

Were both were at the big gas well
of the Dayton Gas & Oil Company,
and their report is that the well
shows an increase in pressure over
the showing the first of the week.
The guage last night showed a pres
sure of 100 pounds, which is a gain
of fifteen pounds over that of We'd
nesday. An actual measurement of
the gas flame, when the well is turn
ed On and ignited, last night showed
that the squirt was 50 feet from the
mouth of the pipe-and that it was
considerably larger tnan the flame
earlier in the week.
Mr.. Reid today took up the matter
of getting a special excursion train
that will be run next Friday night,
leaving Roswell at six O'Clock, giving
ample time to see the well and ret
urn the same night. The request for
the train was telegraphed to Avery
Turner. general manager, this morn
ing, and it is confidently expected the
request will be granted.

Said R. S. Hamilton to a Record

much trouble with my lawn. Spots
from the size of your hat to that of
a wash-tub have appeared in which
the grass simply died out, no matter
how much water 1 applied. After care.
full examination found that the roots
were being eaten off by large white
grub worms, the larvae of a big black
beetle. 1 have been killing the beetles
since then and believe 1 have mas
tered the trouble. am also going to
raise the sod, which will be an easy
task with the roots all cut off, and
sprinkle nitrate of soda beneath. This
will kill the beetles and worms and
fertilize the grass. 1 believe it will
stop the trouble. There are a num-
Der of people having similar trouble,
and this information may serve them
well.''
