TAFT SHOWS NEED
OF TARIFF LAW
Republican Candidate Secures
Close Attention From Inn
mense Audiences in Ohio
Mention of Debs in Speech Be-
fore Iron Workers Is
Applauded

EAST LIVERPOOL, o., Oct 13.-In
the middle of the steel and iron district
of Cleveland. William II. Taft today
commanded the closest attention of an
| immense audience while he showed
from his standpoint that the American
workman needed the protection of the
tariff land what had been the result
when he had not had that protection.
Fourteen audiences were addressed
by the candidate today. AT Lorain a
cheer for Debs when the candidate
mentioned his name in connection with
labor cases he had handled while on
the bench inspired Taft to pay his COM
pliments to Debs as presidential
candidate
Mr.. Debs is socialist" he said
when the applause died out. 'Mr. Debs
is logical. He is opposed to the insti-
tutions of this country as they have
been established by the constitution.
He has right to be, If he chooses.
provided he accompHshes his methods
by legal and nonviolent ways. There
fore l am not going to criticise Mr..
Debs."
In Cleveland. after Taft had reviewed
his labor record at length and recalled
the fact that he had since been made
a member of the steam shovelers'
union, he added:
Accordingly l received an invitation from a
contracting firm up In Oregon saying that they
would be glad to have me, now that l was a
regular member of the trades union, to go into
the business and work one Of their steam
shovels but l said that certainly until Novem-
Der 3 had a job and after that l would com
municate with them further.
MIR. Gompers Is one of the active council Of
the American federation of labor and 1 get
the impression that the whole federation of
labor was delivered body and soul by Gompers
to the democratic party and to Mr.. Bryan; but
1t seems there some left.
Daniel keefe. the head of the longshore-
mems union with whom perhaps number of
my audience are acquainted, does not think
that | am devil with horns. He is going
to support ME for the presidency, because he
says he has found in his dealings with me 1--WE
have had good many that ! just and
fair to the interests that he represented the
head of the longshoremen's union and one of
the executive council of the American fedora
tion of labor.

BRYAN CAMP AIGNS
IN HIS OWN STATE
Arguments Confined to Answer
ing the Statements OF
Taft and Hughes
Big Crowds Enthusiastically
Greet the Peerless One DUR
ing His Three Days Trip

WAHoo, Neb., Oct. 1S.-Accompanied
by all the democratic candidates for
state offices, with the exception of one
or two, w. j. Bryan today campaigned
In his own state and tonight at this
place completed the first of the three
days Nebraska tour.
Big crowds greeted him at every
point and when his days work was
over he had delivered 21 speeches,
varying in length from five minutes to
one hour. His arguments were con-
fined mostly to answering the state
ments of Mr.. Taft and Governor
Hughes, who but recently visited Ne
braska. The audiences were mostly
farmers and the democratic candidate
frequently moved them to loud ap-
piause. The route traversed was
through numerous republican strong
holds. A carload of speakers was
brought along from. Omaha and at each
place visited by Mr.. Bryan one was
dropped off to complete the work of
expounding democratic doctrines. Mr..
Bryan accused Mr. Taft of not making
the speech in Nebraska that he had
been making in other parts of the
country.
He did not discuss the guarantee of
bank deposits" he said doubtless be-
cause he was informed that the people
of Nebraska are in favor of the guar
anteeing of bank deposits. His appeal
was to the farmers and 1t was based
upon the fact that the farmers have
had good crops and fair prices, but
did the republican party give you good
crops? All who think the republican
party is responsible for good crops
should thank the republican party.
Those who believe as we do, that the
good crops are due to the fertility of
the soil, to seasonable rains and to the
warmth of the sunshine, should thank
the Almighty"
After speaking at Wahoo Mr.. Bryan
returned to Fremont, where his train
was switched to the lines of the Union
Pacific and over which road he will
resume his journey early in the
morning

Regarding Good Government

Judge Dunno and the other good

dates so on the ballot in spite of all
that Herrin and the higher ups did
TO shut them out. Last night the cleo
tion commissioners unhesitatingly ap-
proved Registrar Zemansky's action in
disregarding the petition of the Forbes
republican county committee alleging
fraud in the good government petit
tions.
There was no delay on the part of
the commissioners in approving the
registrars official step Zemansky, as
clerk of the board. read the letter of
Charles H. Forbes of the republican
county central committee protesting g
against the recognition of the leagues
petition. and purporting to recite facts
tending to show that the petitions
were fraudulently signed. Beyond a
few smiles when Forbes referred to
the honest aims of the county cen
sioners made no comment upon the
communication.
1T is wholly the duty of the regis
trar to disregard the petition" an
nounced Zemansky when he finished
reading the communication. Il failed
to find any evidence in my investiga-
tion that showed fraud and I filed the
petition and the names of the good
government candidates have been
placed on the ballot"
1T therefore bore prima facie sevi-
dence of being correct and legal?"
asked Commissioner Voorsanger in
reference to the good government petit
tion.
There is a sufficient number of
names on 1T and it was given it's
proper place" replied Zemansky.
"A motion to file the communication
from the county central committee and
to sanction the action of the registrar
is in order" declared President Voor-
sanger. The motion was carried and
Voorsanger added, laughingly, 1T
might be a matter of courtesy TO the
county central committee TO inform
1T of the action taken by this board"

Young Couple Elope Despite
Risk of Trouble and Loss
of Fortune

SAN RAFAEL, Oct 13.-Eloping in
spite Of the fact that their marriage

suit in the loss Of a fortune and bring
serious trouble upon themselves from
their parents, oscar Thayer, a young
architect of San Francisco, and Miss
Josephine McCabe, fair haired, blue
eved and II. came to San Rafael yes
terday afternoon and were married by
Justice of the Peace Magee. Then, as
quietly as they came, they slipped out
Of the town and returned TO san tran-
cisco.
The eIopement was cleverly planned.
Allowing her mother to believe that
she was going TO visit friend IN
Berkeley. the girl left home in the fore
noon and a short time later joined
Thaver. The runaways FASTENED to san
Rafael. where they procured the license
and were married.
This morning the bride returned to
her home at 74I Waller street, happy
and unrepentant The newly made
Mrs Thaver could not withhold the
glad tidings from her mother and
finally confessed. Mrs. McCabe said
the only objection she had TO the mar
riage was because Of Mrs. Thayer's S
youth.
Thayer is also expecting trouble from
his father T. r. Thayer, a capitalist
who is at present in Chicago, but whose
home is in Santa Cruz. Thayer Sr-
has a heavy interest in several Nevada
mines and also has money invested in
railroad stock. Young Thayer said his
father was apt to cut him off on ac-
count Of his marriage.
The wedding is the elimination of a
romance beginning when the feet en-
tered the Golden gate.

sical circles. She had but recently re-
turned from Boston, where she attended
