ELECTION IN TEXAS
GOVERNOR CAMPBELL REN0MIN-
 ATED BY LARGE MAJORITY.
Davidson WilI Probably Be Taenomin- ated for Att0rney-General--C stitutionaI Amendment for Prohibition ls Probably
 Carried

Dallas. Tex. July 25.-Returns from the Democratic primary held in Texas today received up to midnight by The Dallas News. indicates that Governor Campbell has been renominated by a majority which will probably reach 100. GOO in a vote that Is in excess of 300. .o0o.
 The contest between R. V Davidson and R NJ. wynne for Attorney Gen erai. Is close. The latest returns. how ever. have been favorable to David son. the incumbent. The only other issue that excited interest was whether the question of a constitutional afnend- naent permitting Statewide prohibition should be submitted. and the returns at midnight indicate that this prohibi- ton would be carried though by not so large a majority as was indicated by the earlier returns.
 Of fife congressional races, the rec turns seem to make certain that Con- Rressnlen Henry. Smith. Gardner and Ben have been ren0nllnated. Returns from tha Fourth District where state Senator Barrett 6 running againHt con gressnan Randei. show that fhe cen test is close with the. chances favor able to RandeIl. Congressman Giles Die. in the Fort Worth district, has probably been renominated. Late re- turns make the outlook favorable for Congressman Cooper. though full re- turns will probably be necessary to show certainly what the result has been.
 Because of the very long ticket. the returns are unusually slow

 St. Paul, July 2s.-Governor John A Johnson of Minnesota today received a personal letter from ". J. Bryan. Democratic candidate for the Presiden- ey, requesting his early presence at Fairview and asking him when he could be avaiIable for speaking pur- poses.
 The latter question is asked. Mir. Bryan says in his letter. in view of the numerous requests that have been received for Governor Johnson for speaking dates in the various States He says the demand in this respect Is general. and he hopes the Minnesota Governor will be able to give them his attention. MT. BryanN refers to the visit made him at Lincoln by the Min- nesota delegation to the Denver Con- vention and the cordial support tend cred him by the individual delegates. He was told then that Governor John son would be available when wanted, and he now hastens to request his pres ence at Fairview that details may be talked over.
 Governor Johnson is not in the city. he being out on lecture tour. but the contents of Mir. Bryan's letter were wired him. It is expected that on It's receipt Governor Johnson will so di- rect to Lincoln.
 Tn the absence of Governor Johnson the text of the letter was not given out

T cannot" came the reply, quickly. and with a decisive emphasis. T have given my word that under no cir- cumstances will I be a candidate. have given my word and will abide by It."
 Does that pledge hold good for fu- ture years for 1912. for instance, as we'll as for this year?"
 Again Mir. Hearst laughed and he answered:
 You have been going into my past. and here now you proceed into my fu- ture. I think that anything further from me today must be included in the arrangement I have already made"
 This referred to a promise to ans wer in writing later in the day any question the newspaper men might submit to him in written form. Mir. Hearst will leave this afternoon for Chicago. where on Monday he will pre- side at the opening of the first National convention of the Independence party. He said that he and Mrs. Hearst had q delightful time in Europe. They spent most of their time in Germany. keep ing off the main travelled roads" as he expressed 1t. It was a quite. restful vacation. and they enjoyed 1t. As the party was about to leave the steam CT. one of the interrogators pressed forward for just one more question.
 "Is there anything you may think of now. Mir. Hearst. that will be of public interest. which you will tell us--any- thing about which we have not ask ed you?" he was asked.
 s'No. there fs not" came the smiling answer. T feel pretty sure that if there were anything else you would have asked it."

Birmingham, July 25--(speciaD- Following a conference held by Cover nor Conner. Col W. H. McKleroy. of the regiment in the fields hereabouts, and pr. Burns. the convict physician, it was announced that the forces at Flat Top. where the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company work about eight hundred convicts in the mines. would be increased by one company of the military. This would be done, 1t was stated. as a precautionary move- ment. rumors having been heard of some trouble in that section of the county.
 Twelve men were arrested in the vicinity of Bessie Mines and brought to the city on charge of trespass after warning. The accused had no trouble in making bond for their appearance at stated time.
 Fourteen damage suits we're filed in the courts here growing out of the strike, the causes being directed Company and charges of malicious ar- rest
 The United Mine Workers of Ameri- ca has leased eighteen acres of land two miles from Wylam. eight miles from Birmingham. and tents and small houses will be erected to care for the negro strikers and families who have been evicted from the company houses. A tract of land eight or ten acres In size will be used to house the white striking miners and families who are being put out of houses.
 The reports received from the mining towns during the day were to the ef- feet that everything was quiet and that there were no indications that any trouble was in sight for the near future at least.
 The coroner's jury Investigating the killing of J. B. Aderhold. the watchman at the DuPont powder mills. in con nection with which killing two depu- ties. J. W.

Upon recommendation of the coroner the charges against the two deputies have been withdrawn and the two men have been released from all accusation. As will be remembered. Aberhold, was shot to death in front of the office of the powder mills by un- known men.

games. It should not have been neces- sary for America to have 10 be rro- testing and put in position where letters were necessary every day. It looked as though the officials of the Amateur Athletic Association wanted to control everything themselves and would not take other countries into their confidence. They were working under the old customs and thought those the best.
 Tn the first place. the program was badly arranged. Instead of. concluding one event. the officials took up another race. This prevented men from talk ing part in more than one race. They should have gone through the heats. the semi-finals and the final of one race before starting the heats of an- other race. Then all those competent to enter could have started. As a matter of fact. 1t was entirely too big a proposition for the men, handling 1t and they would not look anywhere for help.
 T never shall forget as long as I live the scene during the 400 meters race. The public has been inflamed against the Americans and the judges. taking signal from some man on the field, threw up their hands, broke the tape and called the race off. before they knew what had happened. It is ridiculous for them to say that they could see what happened one hundred yards away. If Carpenter had fouled Halsewelle the judges should have al- lowed him to finish and then if the man at the corner declared a foul, Car penter could have been disqualified and the race should have been given to the second man who was Robbins. Mind you. I am not admitting any foul.

 Look how fndecently they acted yesterday, although the officials them selves had broken the most important rule governing the Marathon race. by helping Dorando. who should have been taken from the track and the tape left

 route to Cuba.
 Corrunna, Spain. July 26.-The em- barkation at this port of number of young women on board the. spanish steamship Isla de Panay, prior to the sailing of the vessel for Tenerine. aroused the suspicious of the local authorities and today an investigation disclosed the fact that dozens of young girls, mostly minors. were slowed away on board the steamer. The au thorities forced all the young women they had found. to disbark. Some of the girls. it was learned later. had been bought from their parents, while others had run away from home As far as possible they all will be return ed to their homes.
 The most plausible explanation of the occurance was that the girls were in- tended for the white slave traffic. The crew claimed the ship was bound for TenerifEe where the girls were to be- come house servants, but 1t is believed that the steamer was going on to Cuba where the white slave trade is said to flourish.

 Newark, N. J.. July 25.-Two police men were severely injured by an ex- plosion of gas today while attempting to arrest a man who, 1t was found later, had killed himself rather than submit to arrest on a charge of ill treating his wife.
 The officers had been summoned by Mrs. Albert Butz. who declared her husband had abused her and had threatened Sfo kill her. When they reached the house they found that Butz had barricaded himself in a room and when he did not respond to their repeated commands to admit them. they forced the door As the door gave was a fluid of gas poured out. An in- stant later when one of the policemen struck a match there came a terrific explosion and both offieers were hurled through the door.
 Their faces. hands and arms were badly burned. Bitz's body was found on a couch in the room.

and to demetrically oppsite interpre- tation by another. It does not aver that injunctions should not issue in industrial disputes, but only that they should not issue because they are in dustrial disputes, and yet those re- sponsible for the declaration must have known that no one ever maintained that the fact that a dispute was in- dustrial gave any basis for issuing an injunction in reference thereto. The declaration seems to be drawL in it's present vague and ambiguous shape to persuade some people that 1t Is a declaration against the issue of in junction in any industrial dispute; while at the same time it may be pus- sible to explain to the average plain citizen who objects to class distinction that no such intention exists. Our po- sition Is clear and unequivocal. We are anxious to prevent even an ;p- pearance of injustice to labor in 'ssU- ing injunctions, not in the spirit of favoritism to any set of our fellow ciIl- zens, but in the interest of justice to all. The exercising or refusing to eN- ercise the power of injunction must be found in the character of the un- lawful injury and not in the character or class of persons who inflict the in jury.
 The man who has a business which is unlawfully injured is entitled to the remedies which the law has given no matter who has inflicted the injustice, Otherwise we shall have class legisla- tion unjust in principle and likely to sap the foundations of free govern mont

NATIONAL CONTROL OF INTER STATE COMMERCE COR
 ROTATIONS

Another suggestion in respect to subordinate and ancillary machinery necessary to carry out republican poli- cies is that of the incorporation under national law. or the licensing by na- uonal license, or enforced registry of companies engaged in interstate trade. The fact is that nearly all corporations doing a commercial business are en- gagged in interstate commerce, and if they all were required to take out a federal license or a federal charter. the burden upon the interstate commerce business of the country would be in tOlerable.
 It is necessary, therefore, to devise some means for classifying and insur- ing federal supervision of such cor pOrations as have the power and temp tation to effect restraints of interstate trade and monopolies. Such corpora tion constitutes very small percent age of all engaged in interstate busi-

 physical valuation of the whole road is of little weight
 l have discussed this with some de- cree of detail merely to point out that tGe valuation by the interstate com merce commission of the tangible property of a railroad is proper and may from time to time be necessary in srttlmg certain of the issues which may come before them, and that no evil. or injustice can come from valu- ation in such cases. if it be understood that the result is to be used for a just purpose and the right to a fair profit under all the circumstances of the in restment is recognized.
 The interstate commerce commis- sion has now the power to ascertain tine value the physical railroad proper " if necessary in determining the req condolences of rates. If the machin- cry for doing so is not adequate. as is probable, it should be made so.
 The republican platform recom- mrudS legislation forbidding the issue in the future of interstate railway stocks and bonds without federal au- thority.

ROOSEVELT'S PROPOSED CLASSIFICATION.

With such classification in view. Mir.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLAN

sThe democratic platform suggests q Requirement. that corporations in inter- state trade having control of 25 per cent of the products in which they deal shall take a federal license. This classification would probably include a great many small corporations en- gagged in tn manufacture of special articles or commodities whose total value is so inconsiderable that they are not really within the purview of the antitrust law. It is not necessary. however, to discuss the rel ative merits of such proposition but it is enough merely to affirm the neces- ity for some method by which greater executive supervision can be given to the federal government over these businesses from which there is a temptation to violations of the anti trust law.
 The possible operation of the anti trust law under existing rulings of the supreme court has given rise to suggestion for it's necessary amend ment to prevent its application to cas- es which it is believed were never in the contemplation of the framers of the statute Take two instances: A
 
 a legitimate business that covers cer- tain states, wishes to sell his business and his good will. and so in the terms of the sale obligates himself to the purchaser not to go in the same busi- ness in those states. Such a restraint of trade has always been enforced at common law.
 Again the employees of an interstate railway combine and enter upon a peaceable and lawful strike to secure better wages. At common law this was not a restraint of trade or com merce or a violation of the rights of the company, or of the public. Neither case ought to be made a violation of the anti trust law. My own impress sion is that the supreme court would hold that neither of these instances are within its inhibition, but if they ar to be so regarded general legisla- ton amending the law is necessary. THE LIMITATION OF OWNERSHIP.
 The suggestion of the democratic platform that trusts be ended by for bidding corporations to hold more than 50 per cent of the plant in any line of manufacture. is made without re- gard to the possibility of enforcement or the real evil in trusts. A corpora ton controlling 45 or 50 per cent of the products may by well known methods frequently effect monopoly and stamp out competition in any part of the country as completely as if it controlled 60 or 70 per cent thereof.
 The proposal to compel a corpora ton to sell its commodities at the same ,I1s for transportation, is utterly impractical ble. If it can be shown that in order to drive out competition a corporation owning large part of the plant pro- ducing an article is selling in one part of the country where it has competi- tors at a low and unprofitable price, this is evidence that it is attempting an unlawful monopoly end justifies
