WASHINGTON, Sept. mail dis
patches received at the War Depart
ment brought detailed account of the
disfavor in to which Simeon Mandac
had fallen since his election to the
governor of Ilocos Norte Province
last January. 1t is taken TO explain
the motive of Mandac in organizing
the present uprising.
He lost his position as governor as
a result of charge of numbering De-
ogracias Agcanas and seven others
had been arrested as accompliies in
the killing of horse. Upon investiga-
ton by local official they were re.
leased
Thereupon, it was alleged, Gov.
Mandac proceeded to have star
chamber investigation of his own. 1t
is alleged That he struck and other
wise mistreated the prisoner to force
a confession, going SO ia" as to Kick
Agcanas in the stomach. From the
internal injuries Agcanas thus ~
cenved. it is alleged he died the fol
lowing day. Mandac was tried on a
charge of homicide, was convicted
and sentenced to Imprisonment for
! fourteen years. An appeal was taken
to the Supreme Court and MandaC
was released on 5000 bond Mandac
disappeared, and all attempts to dis
cover him failed.

New State OF the
Southwest
TALKING ON THE TARIFF
Speaks From Train Platform at the
Smaller Towns and Has Audiences
Of 5000 at Other
Places.

ENID, Okla. Sept. 2.-That the
present and future prosperity of the
nation is dependent upon the tariff
and that the election of a democrat
at the approaching election will re-
tard the efforts of the republican
party to formulate scientific tariff,
was the keynote of the speech DEW
cred to crowd of 5000 people in
Enid by Vice President Sherman last
night.
Mr.. Sherman reviewed the opera
ticn of the tariff law. He declared
protection has always meant CONNER
cial success and free trade stagnation
of commerce and starvation for the
laboring man. He claimed through
the present law the country has be-
come prosperous, though revision at
the last congress was not complete.
He said President Taft would be
without power to carry out his pro-
gressiye ideas if democratic house
were elected, and his efforts to re-
wise the tariff scientifically by com
mission would be futile.
Congressman Watson of Indiana
made stirring speech in which he
urged the election of Congressman
Bird Mcclure.
Sherman was given rousing ova-
ton He will leave today for Okla
hona City.
On the trip from Guthrie to Enid
the car platform was utilized by Vice
President Sherman as q speaking
stage more than at any time during
his trip in the southwest.
The little town of Crescent turned
out company of mothers with in
fants in their arms and they saw
Mr.. Sherman with coat off and sus
penders.
These are twins said one young
woman, who held up two babies.
Well. responded Mr.. Sherman
"In twenty years they win be living
in a finer country than we have ever
known, and if they are boys I'll bel
