A RICH MANS GAME.

Wisconsin has state primary law
It also has a millionaire lumbermal
with high political ambitions who
sees in the new law an opportunity
to crafty them. Captain William
Lewis wants to be governor and hi
says SO frankly. At the same time
he admits that he has heard nc
"call from the people" nor does he
consent because Of the "insistence
of his friends" There is no ele-
ment of party duty" involved, eth
or. Captain Lewis says he wants
the office, has the money to get II
under the primary law, and adds:
Furthermore, am candidate OF
my own volition. No delegations Of
admiring friends have called upon
me and earnestly solicited me to per-
nit my name to 60 before the peo-
pie; nor have been picked out by
chosen by or even solicited by any
person or combination of persons
who care far more for their own
they live in. My candidacy is in no
sense q case Of the office seeking
the man, but the deliberate seeking
Of the office by the man who does
so because Of his inherent right %
an American citizen and because he
sincerely believes he is qualified
by long years Of business experience
to fill the office as the people want
1t filled"
There is something refreshing
about this acknowledgment that
contrasts SO favorably with the u.s.
uni shy and hypocritical attitude
Of the aspiring candidate The pre-
tense Of the office seeking the man
has been a farce in this country for
so many years that no one attaches
any meaning to 1t It Is true that
men have been drafted" for office,
but the process usually was in con-
formity with well understood acQuies-
ence on the part Of the man sought,
There have been very few instances
where a citizen had to be persuaded
that loyalty to party imperatively
demanded his acceptance. In view
Of this fact, why should not Captain
Lewis launch his own candidacy and
take advantage Of the primary law
to secure his own nomination? He
is simply doing In the open what
other candidates are doing in the
dark.
The primary law has practically
eliminated the poor man as a candi-
date for state office. This perniclous
primary farce Is in the interests Of
the rich as against the poor. The
law requires a candidate TO make
two campaigns for the Job he seeks.
It also forces the candidate to es-
tablish headquarters with a large
corps Of clerks long before the cleo
ton. The candidate with money and
nothing else to do can canvass his
state often and no can import speak
ers to aid his cause. His head.
quarters can send out tons of litera-
ture and organize in every commun-
ity It Is a rich mans game and the
man Of small means Is eliminated.
Captain Lewis merely proposes to
take advantage OF the primary law
to out-spend his opponents, and we
predict that he will make a very In
teresting II not successful one.--

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov, S.-The Ar.
cade of the Ferry building, crowded
with thousands of homoward bound
suburbanites, was tho sceno of dou-
BILE murder early tonight, when lguate
Novikow. n Russian laborcr, shot and
killed Mrs. j.. A, Scbolz, wife of n
Sonoma county rancher, and her dauGh-
ter, Betty. Novikow fired bullet
through his own head before any of the
bystanders could raise hand, and died
within an hour without regaining con.
sciousness.
The mother and daughter were bound
TO their home near Vlneburg, Souoma
county, and were standing among the
crowd waiting for the boat which con-
nccted with their train. Novikow, who
was clad in overalls and jumper, made
his way through the throng until he
arrived in front Of the women. With
out uttering q word, he drew a rcvol'
yer and fired twice, each bullet finding
Judgement in tho heart of ono of the
women. Before the dazed bystanders
could move, he shot himself. Wild eX'
citement followed and several women
tainted in the crowd.
Novikow was a sou.iD-law of Mrs
Schulz and it is asserted by the police
that he was crazed by rage because she
and her unmarried daughter had OPP
posed his effort TO obtain money from
| his fnthcr.in-law. The shooting fol
lowed a quarrel, which took place
| earlier in the day.

URGENT APPEAL TO
AMERICAN PEOPLE
President Eliot of National Con-
seryation Association Issues
Direct Statement.
DANGER OF MONOPOLY
IN CONTROLLING POWER
Declares That Trusts Are Seek
Ing to Grab Both Waterfalls
and Coal.

NEW YORK. Nov S.--Dr Charles W.
Eliot, president of the National Copser-
vation association today issued Il state
mcnt on the danger of monopo]istic con
troll Of the sources of power in this coun-
try. which Is declared to be urgent The
statement is made in the form of an
appeal 10 the American people and deals
particularly with the much discussed
question of the coal fields OF Alaska. 1t
says.
The National Conservation associa.
tlon Is CONVINCED Of the urgent need of
immediate measures 10 prevent the CON
troll of the great sources of heat and
mechanical power in the United States
from beng Selyed by monopolistIc or
ganizanons and 20 secure the best de-
Nelopmcnt of these courccs in The IN
terest of the whole people These
sources are waterfalls and coal.
The following statement describes
the situation with respect 10 coal lands:
AS TO Coal Lands.
The coal lands in the possession of
the United States arc being rapidly alb
sorbcd under the present inadequate
law. The fields. Of Alaska, estimated
to contain fifteen billion tons. should
remain the heritage of tho people. But
bad as is the general coal land law of
the United States, that of Alaska Is
even worse, for there the government is
absolutely limited 10 a charge of ten
dollars an acre, which is less than one
tenth of tho real value of these coal
lands.
"'There are already about nine hun
drcd entries In thc Alaska coal fields
1t is true the field was recently with
drawn from entry. but the legality of
that Withdrawal has been questioned
Even If The nino hundred existing
claims now coming to trial should be de-
clared fraudulent, new claimants NAV
6le on the lands under the objection
able provisions OF the existing laws
without restriction against monopoly
provisions.
Points Out Danger.
We have urged the present ad-
nnnistratiou 10 postpone for The common
good, the trial of these claims, and we
have no doubt in view of the facts and
Of the policy of the administration, as
declared by President Taft in his speech
at Spokane. September %, that our re-
quest will be granted
There is limit, however, be
vond which SUCH delay cannot go.
Should congress fail TO act at the com-
ing session, it is possible the opportun-
the coal lands still in possession of the
U. S. will be lost
The situation with respect TO
water power development, both In the
public domain and on navigable streams.
is substantially similar to that with
respect to coal. The water powers can
not be effectively developed in the pub
lie interests under the existing law
We, therefore, appeal to the Amer
lean people to bring the urgent needs of
the situation to the attention Of their
representatives in congress IN order
that comprehensive legislation on the
matter be enacted, To this end. every
individual citizen is urged TO do his
duty
