PENSACOLA SENATOR
In Strong Words Senator
Labels Lanar's Charge
Absolutely False-Lamar
Charged Milton With
Urging Broward to Run
to Defeat Mallory, Before
Latter'S Retirement.

The following wires are seIf-ex-
planatory. The first, addressed to
Hon. John s. Beard from W B. La
mar, dated Jacksonville, Fla, charges
Senator W. H. Milton with urging
Governor n. B. Broward to run for
United STATES senator prior to the
late Senator S. R. Mallorys an
nCuncement of his retirement from
active public life.
The sense of this telegram was
published in the Jacksonville Metrop-
oils.
The second telegram is Senator

charges.
LAMAR'S TELEGRAM.
Night Message.J
Jacksonville, Fla, May Is, 1908.
Hon. John S. Beard, Pensacola,
Fla.
Senator Milton wrote me a day OF
two after Senator Bryan's death that
he would probably support Governor
Broward, If he became a candidate
for United States senator, as he mil
tom had tried to get Broward to he
come a candidate for United States
senator even before Senator Bryan an
nounced his candidacy. This shows
that Milton tried to get BrCward into
the contest against Senator Mallory
nearly two months before Senator
Mallory retired.

your meeting.

NEW ROAD TO OREGON
BORDER IS COMPLETED
Rush Work Opens California
Northeastern as Far
as CalOr

The line of the California Northeast
ern was opened to Calor yesterday and
the first car to stop at the border OF
California and Oregon was that of W.
F. Herrin. Since z. H. Hartman went
over the route to his country place at
Pelican lodge there has been consider
able activity in building. He was so
thoroughly disgusted with the trip that
he gave peremptory orders to build the
line to the river without delay, and the
result is that work is being prosecuted
both by day and by night to get the
track to klamath river.
Two immense dredgers are employed
on the tule land throwing up an en-
bankment for the roadbed. while on
the dry land several steam shovels
are in use and enormous gangs of men
never cease labor.
1t is expected that the road to the
river will be finished in about six
weeks, and this means that probably
Hartman will stay in Oregon till he
can return to the coast in comfort
With a road to the river the travel to
klamath Falls can be accomplished
without discomfort. A boat meets the
train and the trip to klamath Falls
takes about an hour and a half.

Jacob M. Dickinson Says We
Are Governed by a Vast
Bureaucracy

SEATTLE, Aug. 25.-President Jacob
M. Dickinson called the American bar
association together at the New Wash
ington hotel this morning in its thirty
seventh annual convention. The large
hall and galleries were crowded with
delegates, their families, friends and
citizens. ~
United states District Judge C. H
Hanford Welcomed the guests on behalf
of the state. Mayor John f. Miller ex-
tended the welcome of the city to the
visitors and Judge Frank S. Dietrich of
Idaho welcomed them on behalf of the
lawyers OF the Pacific coast. President
Dickinson replied to the various adj
dresses of welcome and then delivered
his speech on the legislative situation
so far as it relates to the enactment of
new laws in the various states of the
union. He spoke in part as follows:
The vices of legislation engaged the attention
and the principal theme of many of my
predecessors. The trouble is inherent in the ma
they exist the evil is incurable. While youth
inexperence and ignorance constitute legal
bar to political preferment, while manhood suf-
frage is the source of all governmental power.
while many Of those most capable of ruling
prefer selhshiy their personal pleasures and pri-
vate interests to the general welfare, so long
will we suffer the maximum of burdens that
come from unwise and unskilled legislation. The
best that we can hope to accomplish is to bring
cess the enactment of uniform legislation in the
several states Our work will in the main be
constructive. We can accomplish practically
nothing in the way Of restraint.
From the least governed people In the world
we rapidly becoming the most governed peo-
pie In the world.
Our increasing commissions for almost every
department of public affairs making our gov
ernment, state and national the most compre-
hensiye system or bureaucracy ever known. The
complex conditions of times in each OF their
diversified forms given special treatment and
administration. This is prolific source of leg
islation. much of it in fagrant disregard of the
best sanctioned and most venerated doctrines.
