STATES RIGHTS
 FREELY DISCUSSED

Denver, August 2O.-"The New Question of States Rights was the subject of q paper read by Thomas w. Martin, as sistant attorney general of Alabama, at the afternoon session of the convention of attorneys general.
 Ma Martin discussed the rights of states in controversies with railroads and the decision of the United States su- preme court, handed down March 23, 1908, denying writ of habeas corpus to Ed ward T. Young, attorney general of Min nesota, who had been fined for violating federal court injunction restraining him from enforcing certain Minnesota rate laws MT. Martin contended that the supreme court went further in the decision of the great constitutional ques- tion there involved than it had ever gone before, and he believed that it would, in time, recede from this position. This opinion, he said, might prevent the state from being represented in its own courts by it's own chief law officer upon issues Involving the constitutional validity of the states enactments.
 This would give the federal court juris- diction to enjoin a states attorney from enforcing any state law.

FORAKER BADLY SNUBBED
 CARRIES A SORE HEART

Washington, August 20.-Senator Forak- CT of Ohio was in Washington today after a vacation spent in Maine. He will re- main here until Saturday, when he will go to his home in Ohio. En route here the senator stopped in New York city for two days. but did not confer with any of the republican leaders.
 On his arrival here Senator Foraker found a dispatch from Frank H. Hitch cock, republican national chairman, ex- pressing regret that they had not met in New York; and conveying the hope that when MT. F'oraker was in that city again they would meet
 The senator was a. much-sought man by the reporters today, who desired an ex- pression from him relative to his non-par- ticipation in the opening of the republican campaign at Youngstown, O., September 5, when Senator Beveridge of Indiana and Governor Hughes of New York are to sound the campaign keynote. He dwelt upon this subject to some extent while in New York, and today was disinclined to go over the same ground, deprecating as he said, with a smile, feeling under the necessity of talking every time he changed cars"
 The senator. however, expressed his views regarding the action of the state committee of Ohio in inviting him to at
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-08-21

tend the opening and his prospective att titude in the campaign.
 T don't know" salu Senator Foraker, what action the state committee took. except as I have been advised by the newspapers I see by the morning papers that Chairman Williams says he mailed me an invitation last Saturday, but 1 have not received if. All l know, there- fore, Is that, according to the newspa- pers, I do not appear to be either needed or wanted at Youngstown, except t0 sit on the platform and listen to the speeches. that are delivered by the orators 5chosen for that occasion.
 q would, of course, be glad3to hear these speeches, but, as l have already said, l can hear them in the newspa- pers.'
 Continuing, he said:
 ''The fact that l do not care to make any speeches under the circumstances under the auspices of the state commit tee will not necessarily interfere with my making speeches under other auspices. l find on my desk today a number of invi- tations to speak, some from Ohio and some from other localities
 If I should see fit to accept any of these invitations while I would certain ly try to speak in such a way as to help the republican cause yet feel that shall be at liberty to express my own views on important questions about which there will be more or less discussion dur ing the progress of the campaign"

New York, August 20.-With the best previous record for a transatlantic voy- age lowered by more than three hours the Cunard turbine steamship Lusitania arrived off Sandy Hook lightship at 10 o'clock tonight, having made the run across the Atlantic over the short course in four days, 15 hours and 25 minutes. The Lustania's former record, which was also the ocean record, was four days, IS hours and 40 minutes, the steamer by her new performance lowering her former mark and the record mark by three hours and 15 minutes.
 Tuned up by her many fast trips in spring and summer the Lusitania began speeding for a record-breaking run over sea immediately on leaving Queenstown,

In doing this, she had made an average speed for the "A hours of 25.6 knots. The run ending at noon Tuesday was at a slightly slower, but still a high rate of speed-631 miles at 25. 21 knots an hour
 The Lusitania did not attempt to come up the bay tonight, anchorng outside the bar at 1O:13 o'clock. She will dock early tomorrow.

Bryan Starts on Trip.

Fairview Lincoln Neb., August 20.-W J. Bryan, democratic candidate for Presi- dent left here tonight on a seven days trip, in the course of which he will de- liver several speeches and hold three days conference with his campaign man agers in Chicago. The first stop will be at Des Moines, Ia., where tomorrow night he will discuss the tariff question.
 Saturday. Sunday and part of Mon day he will spend in Chicago. and on Tuesday he will be present at the noti- fication in Indianapolis of John W. Kern, the democratic vice presidential nominee. At Indianapolis he will speak on the sub ject of trusts. Two days later at To- peka, Kas. he will deal with the ques- ton of the guaranty of bank deposits. He will return to Lincoln on August 2S.
 Notwithstanding his eagerness to com plete before his departure the prepara- ton of the speeches which he is to de- liver within the next fortnight MT. Bry an found time today to hold several con ferences over the long distance telephone with Chairman Mack, of the democratic national committee. who is at the head quarters in Chicago and to discuss the political situation in Idaho with C. O. Stockslager. who Is the anti-Dubois can didate for United States senator in that state. The SuDJect matter or the talk with MT. Mack was not disclosed. and neither MT. Bryan nor MT. Stockslager would give information concerning their interview. It was ascertained however that the Idaho situation was discussed at length and that an effort will be made to bring the warning factions together in the expectation of strengthening the tick ct in that state.
 Among the other callers were E. T. Mccarthy of Baxter Springs Kas.. who brought an invitation for MT Bryan to attend the Baxter Springs reunion on September A. but the democratic candi- date found that his engagements would not permit him to accept.
 The moving picture man was early in evidence at the Bryan home. having. as he said. come direct from Oyster Bay He carried away with him number of films, illustrative of MT. Bryan's hon1e life.

AdIai Stevenson Says Illinois
 Will to Democratic
BRYAN STARTS ON HIS TRIP
Nominee Will Confer With Campaian Managers In Chicago, Speak on Tariff at Des Moines and At
 tend Kern Notification.

Chicago, August 20.-Former Vice Pres ident Adlai E. Stevenson, democratic candidate for governor of Illinois, came to Chicago today from his home in Bloom ington and for over an hour conferred with National Chairman Mack on the general situation.
 In company with Francis Peabody, his campaign manager, MT. Stevenson called upon Chairman Mack at the national committee Headquarters and discussed the problems that the democrats will meet in the fight in this state. MT. Stevenson told the national chairman that from re- ports he had received he believed Illi- nois would go democratic for both the gubernatorial and national tickets.
 MT. Mack informed the former vice president that the national committee had planned an effective campaign in this state, and that it would lend any aid re- yduired by those directing the guberna- torial fight MT. Stevenson will make sev- ,eral speeches in the state during the next two months, and it is not unlikely that he may be called upon by the national committee to go outside the state on a short stumping tour.
 Speaking of the democratic outlook in the national campaign this year, MT. Stevenson said in his address at the Iro- quois:
 Tt looks like a return of the democratic spirit of 1892, when Cleveland was elected. Everywhere I have spoken l have found democrats formerly antagonistic to MT. Q,-x,a x,ritt tall "a that they wish to support me also. It is astonishing the assurances of support have received from republicans who de- clare that they believe the time has come for change. If we put our shoul- ders to the wheel we can bring about a great democratic victory in November | L. E. Jones, national committeeman from Maine was a visitor at the head quarters today. and talked with Chairman Mack about the assignment of speakers to the Maine campaign, which is now on in earnest as the election in Maine takes place September IA. It will be the first one held during the campaign. Speaking of the Maine situation, MT. Jones said:
 "The present campaign is being waged largely on state issues, but do not mis- take the fact that 1t is a red hot contest and that we are making an aggressive fight. There is not dissenting democrat in Maine, and every one of them will vote for Bryan and Kern in November. l am not predicting that the democrats will carry the state, but we are making fight to win, and will certainly cut down the republican majority"

~The Hurry-up Convention"

"The Hurry-Up Convention"
In reply to Judge welter's article
in the Roswell Democrat under the
above head, 1 will say that it is in
keeping with all the other things done
and said by him both on the street
and in his court room, replete with
exaggeration and fanaticism. In the
first place, instead of the convention
being called only four days. it was pub
lished Ave full days before the night
of the convention, but it would not be
fair to make the Judge show up in q
false light for little day and as
for Saturday night being the time fix
ed for holding the convention, he
knows 1t Is the best night for country
as well as for town people to attend.
He also knows that there is not a
church in the city that holds any
kind of services on Saturday, unless
it be the Seventh Day Adventists. But
this is all in keeping with the Judge,
and knowing hat I vas the commit
teeman referred to by the Judge as
having an axe to grind, I will frankly
say that I have, and that it Is nothing
more than to beat Judge Weller with
anyone that will not let his passion
and prejudices run away with his bet
ter judgement.
