was issued by the independent executive
COMMITTEE yesterday afternoon In an
swer to the communication. from the
Democratic executive COMMITTEES submit
ted to the Independent convention held
I'm Nashville September IA. The follow
ing extracts are taken from the address:
Governor Patterson and his commit
tee must have timed his withdrawal. No
matter who timed 1t, the governor knew
what he was doing and he waited until
the Democrats of the respective coun-
ties had appointed and instructed their
delegates for his opponent, Mr.. Hooper.
Our experience with Governor Patter-
son and his machine has taught us that
we cannot take propositions or promises
coming from that source for what they
purport to be, but we must look for
the purpose behind the fair-sounding
words.
'The Patterson machine proposes to
name another candidate for governor,
leaving the balance Of the ticket an
made up by the machine.
Their cry for harmony has not been
sounded, so far as we know. by a sin
gle man who favors the temperance and

Primary Nomination
(By Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Sept. 21-The insurgent
cause in Minnesota made great strides
yesterday, when James A. Tawney, of
the First district. was defeated for re-
nomination.
While at an early hour this morning
Tawneys managers would not admit de-
feat, they conceded that the prospects
were dark and that Sidney Anderson, of
Lanesboro, had a lead of 1000 votes, with
aEut one-third of the returns in.
Anderson claims the nomination by a
no surprise, as the first fight against
him was hard.
The following were nominated for con-
gress:
First district Republican,, Sidney An
derson, Lanesboro; (Democrat, H. L.
Buck Winona.

insurgent.

ROB MAN AND TWO WOMEN
THEN ESCAPE IN AUTO
San Antonio Society Man and
Companions Lose
1,400

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 2O.-After
robbing w. X. Ewing, a we'll known
business man of San Antonio, and his
companions, two prominent society
women, last night of money and jewels
valued at $1,400 two masked highway
men seized their automobile and es-
capped
The robbery occurred only a short dis
lance from this city. Mr.. Ewing and
party were on their way to a club near
the city.
The robbery occurred just within the
city limits and at a point where street
cars pass at frequent intervals. Step
ping into the roadway in front of the ap-
preaching car, the highwaymen executed
the hold-up in true frontier style, fore
ing Ewing and his companions, the
Misses Wood, to alight under cover of
revolvers and relinquish their valuables.
The robbery accomplished, one of the
robbers held the party at bay while tho
other. with the money and jewels, made
his escape in the automobile. A few
moments later the second highwayman
disappeared in the dense shrubbery
which skirts the roadway, and the three
victims made their way afoot to the
country club, half a mile distant.
Mounted men Immediately took up the
pursuit of the automobile, which, when
last seen, was headed for Austin.

The motor car cranks have been max
Ing a great fuss about the bad roads of
America, and have tried to persuade the
farming communities to go TO the eX-
pense of pixing their roads-to the end
that the motor scorchers of the cities
might have smooth going in the country.
The campaign hasn't been blessed with
success in accordance with the hopes Of
the campaigners Naturally the argu-
ment hasn't appealed very strongly to
the farmer. He hasn't felt called upon
TO build stone roads with a view to
bringing a 30-mile-an-hour procession Of
cars by his door. So the good roads that
have been built in the past few years
have been built largely by automobile
influence. The rural element has been
rather luke warm on the question.
Now. however. the farmers themselves,
through the national grange, have taken
up the fight for good roads with new
zest, on an argument that should ap-
peal to every farmer. for it concerns the
bulwark OF the nation-the Little Red
School House"
The grangers hold that good, dry roads
go far toward fostering the cause Of ed
ucation. since they make II much easier
for children to get to and from school,
and make for regular attendance where
otherwise the attendance would be sub
feet to fluctuations with the changes OF
weather. They hold that the good influ-
ence OF well-made roads upon the schools
is particularly noticeable in districts
where Capitalization has prevailed over
the district school
Logan Walter Page, director Of the Of
flee OF public roads. department OF agri-
culture, has written for the national
grange a paper entitled Good Roads
and Better Schools" in which he says:

Improving roads would be a great fac
tor in reducing the percentage of illit-
eracy which exists throughout the
country Some of our states have AL
ready passed compulsory education laws.
There are no obstacles to their admin
stration in our cities. But in the rural
district the opposite is true. If all the
roads were in good condition. so as to
remain high and dry, IT would be possible
successfully to enforce such laws even in
the rural districts, but with the present
condition of most of the roads 1t Is i'm
practicable.
1T would be a wise policy to include in
our school course, course in road con-
struction and maintenance. Such
course would give our boys and girls
fundamental training to the Importance
and advantages of improved roads. 1t
would teach them that by the exercise
of a little kowledge and the judicious ex-
penditure of a little money and labor
much Of the hardships of farm life may
be softened and its isolation dispelled,
and that equal pleasure and comfort
may be extracted from life In the coun-
try as may be derived from city life.
''If our rural population can be brought
to realization of this, the prevailing ten
dency to flock from the farm to the city
will cease. They will Immediately begin
TO agltate the question OF lhproNeu IOauS
and how to build them As the roads
are improved the rural districts will be-
come more attractive. the farmers will
continue to farm and do so more intelli-
gently, the congested population OF the
cities will begin to flow from their al
leys to the healthy air of the farm and
become producers instead of idle consum-
ers, and our country will march for
ward to greater industrial attachments
and a higher and nobler civilization"

INSURANCE is CANCELLED

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-A half million dol
lars Of life and accident insurance carried by

candelled during the last fortnight because OF
Ryan's activity as head OF the International

Mr.. Ryan has lodged protest against this
unusual action on the part Of the companies
explaining that he does not own an aerOplane
and does not contemplate the purchase of one,
that be does not contemplate making a flight
and that his duties as chairman of the COM
mittee on arrangements consist merely in at
tending to details of the meet.

will not insure the life of an aviator but this
is the first instance in which they have found
an element Of danger to the life OF persons only
interested in the progress of the science Of fly

NEGRO COTTON PICKERS
FLEE AFTER lYNCHING

unable to secure negroes to pick cotton.
The negroes claim they are given no
protection in Lake county and their lives
are in danger. Nothing will induce them
to go to work. The situation is critical
and the inability to secure to pickers
will result in a heavy loss to the plan
ters
