Had a Big Meeting at Eight
This Morning.
His Voice Was Husky From
Work of Yesterday.
IN HIS OWN DEFENSE.
He Feels Called Upon to Refer
to His Golf Record.
Points to His Size as an Excuse
for Playing 1t.

Aberdeen, S. D., Sept. 29.-The South
dakota campaign of Candidate Tafe
began at this place shortly before s
o'clock this morning with a big meet
ing. Judge Taft spoke from a platform
erected close by the station. His voice
was husky and hardly equal to the
neaVy days work ahead of him. His
itinerary includes meetings at Mellette
Redheld, Wolsey, with an hour and a
naif at Mitchell and short stops at
Trip. Yankton and Vermillion, and a
rally tonight at Sioux City, la.
Defends Golf Record.
Woolsey, S. D., Sept. 29-Judge
Taft's of golf and what he personally
thinks of it as fat mans exercise.
was stated today by the candidate who
said he had received an invitation that
he ought to come to South Dakota ana
convince the people that he was not an
aristocrat or above the people. He
continued:
''They said that L had been playing
golf this summer, and that it was a
rich mans game, and that it indicated
plain people. l want to state my case
before the bar of public opinion on the
subject of that game of golf In Scot
land golf is the game OF the people and
in this country, where you can get a
place to live and play it, ii is q game
for people who are active enough to
play ball or tennis or who have too
much weight to carry around to play
those games. When a man weighs 295
pounds you have got to give him some
opportunity to make his legs and mus
cles improve and golf offers that op-
portunity. 1t may be that it is the
game of rich men. but 1 beg to assure
you that 1 am personally advised of
the fact that a very poor man can
play it, and somehow or other my
friends were certain that if L could
come out here and show you what
kind of man l was in appearance that
you would get over the impression that
there was anything about me that re-
Sembled a dude"

CARDS ARE SHUFFLED.
Hitchcock's Appeals for Funds Re-
ceived by Democrats.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 29-Chairman
Hitchcock's $6O0000 card index of
voters seems to have gone awry. Any
way, something has happened to his
lists for New England, and as a result
hundreds if not thousands of good
Democrats from Maine and Connecti-
cut are getting personal appeals in the
shape of circular letters from the ex-
ecutive committee asking them "as
good Republicans" to ante up their lit
tie donation to the good cause.
The letters started to ceme into the
state Democratic headquarters about a
week ago. At first the Democratic
leaders thought there had been a little
slipup that didn't amount to much, but
today 1t was announced that nearly a
thousand letters of this kind already
had been forwarded to the Massachu-
setts. Vermont, and Maine leaders by
good Republicans who happened to
be Democrats.
Probably Stringing Hitchcock
The general impression is that some
of Mr. Hitchcock'S lieutenants in New
England have been stringing him in
good shape, although the indignant
would be just the kind of a trick thai
the "rascality Democrats would pull
Off
Mr. Hitchcock's plan was to have
every voter catalogued, the Republican
sheep in one box, the Democratic goats
in another, and the independence
league lambs in another, with the Pro-
hibition. Socialist, and Populist rams
off in another bunch.
Easy to Shift Indexes.
1t would be an easy matter for any
one to shift these indexes. which have
been made by the county leaders, the
Republicans point out. and the net re-
suit would be that all Republicans
would 70 down as Democrats and all
Democrats as Republicans. That some
thing like this has happened appears
probable by the way the letters are

ONE MAN REPLIES.
Judge Priest Answers Criticism in the
Presidents Letter.

st. Louis, Sept. 29.-Judge Henry s.
Frlest has given out a statement i'm
reply to that portion of President
fNooseVeIts reply to W. j. Bryan, in
winch reference is made to the st.
Louis man as trust attorney who is
supporting Bryan for president. Judge
Priest begins by denying that he is an
onlclal OF the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany.
He says that his firm was retained

ed against it by Attorney General Had
ley of this state and that another at
torney for the company was Mr.. Nagel
the present Republican national COM
mltteeman from Missouri. Judge Priest
continues:
But it is added that I said bribery
is a conventional offense.' These words
were taken from the middle of a SEN
tence in an extemporaneous address to
jury in which they were used SOLELY
1or the purpose of making a compari-
son between the defendant and chief
witness against him. The defendant
was accused of bribery. The chief wit
ness against him was a confessed per-
1urer, and made the statement quoted
in comparing the two men for the pur-
pose of putting their moral character
before the jury to be weighed by it in
offense is one defined by a legislative
convention and is denominated nahum
prohibitum to distinguish it in char
acter from an offense which is nahum
in sc. 1 then condemned unqualifiedIy
and unequivocally both bribery and
lying.
But as if to add still further to the
criticism of me it is said II at 'R. M
Snyder, in whose behalf [ was speak
ing was a millionaire 1t seems 1 am
always thrown in very excellent COM
pany on both sides of the political line

der's regular attorney Hon. Gardner
Lathrop. is a very distinguished Re-
publican and is at present an enthu-
siastic supporter of Judge Taft. Mr..
Warner. Republican senator from this
state was associated with me in that
case. 1t is the height of abSurdity to
attempt to influence public opinion for
or against either of the candidates by
showing that this, that or the other at
torney who represents a personal or
corporate clientage is for or against
him.
In his statement Judge Priest says
that he intends to vote for Bryan as
he has in the past.

HARTMAN IS NOT i'll.
Reports That lie Is Sick Are
Indignantly Denied.

New York. Sept. "a published
report that F. II. Hartman is i'll. was
denied at Mr.. Hartman residence
here today. Persons close TO Mr..
Hartman ridicule the attempt to
make a sensation of his alleged ILL
ness. Mr. Hartman had gone to
C3roten to visit his son. who is at
school there. and on his return to
New York. was delayed for short
time in Boston. He seized the
occa sion to consult DR.. Lovett, who
once treated him for rheumatism
The call was purely incidental and he
had not seen the doctor for year.
Anv statement to the effect that he is
seriously i'll or that his journey to
Boston was for the purpose of seeing
the doctor is without foundation.
Mr.. Hartman was at his office as
usual TODAY.

worker speak.
The Bishop congratulated the au-
dience on possessing such magnif-
cent house of worship. He proceed
ed to speak on the third chapter OF
the second epistle of Peter, saying
1t was one of the grandest chapters
in the New Testament. He empha-
sized the fact that all things present
must and will be destroyed. Gods
word declares It," said he. Gill;.
God is interested in His creatures
whom He has made and loves. There
must be something within us which
causes God to so love us. That some-
thing is the possibility OF Christian
character, which will insure us n
blessed future life with God in a
world free from sin and all that
which defiles. IL we seek such a.
character we will be diligent in bus
mess, fervent in spirit, serving the
Lord. We will employ intense devo-
ton and effort to not only save our
selves, but others as well.
"A true faith in God and His pro-
misses makes us different from other
men. While others seek for happi-
ness in the things of this world, be-
levers in Christ look for It in the
great future" In closing his re-
marks Bishop Moore urged his hear
ors to cling to the faith Of the faith
ers and permit no one to deter them
in their efforts to please God.
