TEDDY IS OFF
CAMPAIGNING

Nashua, n. H, Oct. 24.-Through
cold, rainy day Theodore Roosevelt
went campaigning across New Hamp-
shire today. In a manner most en-
phatic he urged the people of the State
to elect Robert P. Bass, Republican
candidate for Governor, and the rest
of the Republican State ticket. Be
ginning with a speech in Concord he
stopped off in Manchester and wound
up the day with an address in
Nashua.
In all of his speeches Col. Roosevelt
spoke of participation by railroads in
politics. Mr.. Bass obtained his nomi-
nation in campaign against what he
characterized the domination of the
government of the State by the rail-
road influence. Col. Roosevelt spoke
of the recent statement of Charles S.
Mellen, president of the New Yol
New Haven & Hartford Railroad, ana
of the Boston G Maine, that hereafter
the railroads would take no part in
politics in New Hampshire and told
the people that while he was glad
that Mr.. Mellen had said what he did,
they ought to see to it that the rail-
| roads kept out of politics in the fu-
| ture, not because they wished to but
because they have to. Col Roosevelt
brought new Nationalism" to New
Hampshire. He talked of honesty,
good citizenship, the tariff and the
New York State situation.
1t was in his speech at Manchester
that the Colonel emphasized new Ma
tionalism. He described his attitude
toward control of the corporations in
this way:
"All l want to see Uncle San do is
to say to Interpretations: Come,
come, you tote fair
1T is not possible to get absolute
justice even in ones own family, but
we ought to have a reasonable ap-
Proclamation of it,
Col. Roosevelt endorsed Mr. Bass
candidacy and discussed good citizen
ship and New York State politics.
After stating that he had been sur
prised at the support he had obtained
and at the animosity he had aroused,
Mr.. Roosevelt said: "That group of
financiers known as Wall Street. has
got to a condition where it is seeing
things at night"
''The New York papers which sup
ported Wall Street." he added, "even
say want1to be king
The Colonel contrasted the New
York Republican convention with that
OF the Democrats, repeating his asser-
ton that the latter was dominated by
Tammany Hall. He said that the vest
majority of very rich men in New
York were supporting the Democratic
ticket because they say they are
afraid of me- Well, they needn't he
iafraid of me unless they want to no
something crooked"

Gompers Makes Complaint.

Savannah, Ga, Oct. 24.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation OF Labor, has made COM
plant to Governor Gilchrist of treat
ment alleged to have been accorded
striking cigar makers in Tampa. Gov
ernor GilchTist forwarded this COM
plant to Mayor Mckay, who replied
in terms denouncing the authority on
which Mr.. Gompers based his COM
plaint.
Mr.. Gompers complains that men
have been undu1y arrested and expel1-
ed from their labor halls. This infor-
nation is based on the arrests of De
La Campo and other strikers, in jail
as accessories in the murder of J. F.
Easterling. Meetings in labor halls,
where incendiary speeches we're made
in Spanish and Italian, were ordered
discontinued by the mayor, but no
undue violence attended the execution
of the order. 1t is believed that the
strike will be called off Monday, the
advisory board having shown a dis
position to accept a proposition made
yesterday.

Forty-Eight Postoffices Chosen For
First Trial OF Postal Banks.

Washington, Oct. 24.-The board of
trustees of the postal savings bank
system approved at last OF 48 second
class post Offices, at which the plan
will be given its first trial. The list
includes one office for each State and
territory.
The trustees are Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock, Secretary of the
Treasury MacVeagh and Attorney
General Wickersham- They met in
the office of the Postmaster General
late in the afternoon. The list they
formally approved was selected after
careful investigation by the postal Of
fcia1s with a view, to making the first
test of the service as thorough as pos
sible under the limited appropriation
of 100000 provided by Congress
which includes all the expenses of
equipment, including the engraving
and printing of forms, certificates,
bonds, ETC., clerical assistance, etc.
Owing to the sma1lness of this ap
preparation it has been impossible to
establish postal savings banks during
the first year in the large city post
offices of the country. Communities
were chosen in which conditions were
exceptionally favorable for the devel-
opment of a postal savings business
mostly industrial centers where wage
earners will be especially benefited
by the kind of banking facilities af-
fofded.
IA large patronage of the service is
expected by the officials from foreign
born Americans in these cities, who
are now remitt1ng considerable sums
to their native countries, usually in
the form of money orders. The work
of furnishing the necessary equipment
to the post Offices selected and having
the postmasters and their assistants
thoroughly instructed in the opera
tions of the system will probably con
sumo several weeks, but every effort
will be made to have the designated
offices ready to receive deposits at
the earliest feasible date.
Among the Offices designated are:
Bessemer, Ala; Etuttgart, Ark.
Key West, Fla; Brunswick, Ga; Mid
dIesboro, KY; New Iberia, La; Gulf
port, Miss; Salisbury, N. c.; Guyman,
Okla; Newberry, S. c.; Johnson City
Tenn; Port Arthur, Tex; Clifton
Forge. Va, and Grafton, w. Va.

He SKINS
ROOSEVELT
Foraker Still Stands
Pat on the
Tariff
ATTACKS HIS IDEAS

Marysville, Ohio, Oct 224-Former
Senator Joseph B. Foraker signalized
his return into active politics today by
going after Colonel Roosevelt and his
new nationa1ism, rough shod. Forak-
er "stood pat" on the tariff, deplored
the activities of the insurgents, urged
Senator Dicks reelection and indors-
ed Warren G. Harding for Governor,
and the entire Republican State tick
ct. Hhe spoke kindly of the Press
dents administration and said Repub-
lican victory in Ohio means a great
deal to the President.
Referring to Colonel Roosevelt's
|new nationalism, former Senator For
aker said:
1--WE have lately had a new declara-
tion of political principles. They are
politically baptized as the doctrine
of a "New Nationalism.' They are
set forth in the nature of a platform
for new party. Possibly they are
intended for that use only in the event
that the distinguished. author bemnot
nominated for the Presidency by eth
er Of the old parties.
However that may be, it is well
+! to note that they violate our dual form
of government by arrogating to the
national government the control OF
matters; purely local that they clear
lly belong to the jurisdiction of the
| States.
| aside from all other objections,
this new doctrine is as certainly de-
structive to our institutions as any
| involved in the name of the Southern
Confederacy.
"Such a preachment is not national
ism, either new or old, but imperial
ism, pure and simple. 1t is in spirit
at least as reasonable as a secession
itself.
"The power it would give to the
president of the United States would
be far more autocratic and dangerous
Ito the liberties of this people than are
Those of any monarchy in Europe.
"The programme has one saving
Feature, however There is about il
tall such a preposterous absurdity
land such an insufferable egotism as to
lexcite not only condemnation but ridi
cule It is another case of vaulting
ambition over leaping itself"

DEFENDANT ARE LIABLE

Asheville, N. c., Oct. 24.-In the
United States Circuit Court Judge
Pritchard handed down a highly i'm
portant decision in the suit of the
United States Casualty Company
against the Virginia Carolina Chemical
Company, holding that the defendants
are liable to the complainants for back
premiums on insurance on a payroll
sum of over 100000. The United
States Casualty Company has an in
surance contract with the chemical
company running from 1898 until
March, 1903, during which time the
insurance company insured the en-
basis of certain percentage of the
payroll of the company This was AZ
cents on 500 of payroll.
The point involved in the suit. was
whether the salaries paid the execu-
tive officers of the company, the. office
employees and others except the Ia
boring men should be included in the
statement of the payroll, which the
company was to base the insurance
premiums upon.
Judge Pritchard held that since the
executive officers and office employees
were included in the policy and the
Casualty Company would have been
liable for insurance under the terms of
the policy, then the salary paid these
officers should have been included in
the statement. An auditing of the
company's books show over 100000
in salaries in which premiums were
unpaid during the five years, and he
rules that the Casualty COmpany
could recover back premiums.

YOUNG MANS
DAY IN n. G,

State Democratic Chairman Eller
appoints October 20 as Young Mans
Day in North Carolina. This is in re-
-sponse to the wide interest evoked by
Governor jarvis letter of last Sunday
directing the thoughts of young men
them to take a lively interest in all
public questions and to become ac-
tive, working Democrats. Letters have
come in from all about the State from
young men expressing their apprecia-
ton of the ideas set forth, and pledg-
ing themselves to work for the party
of sound government and clean admin
istration. On Young Mans Day the
speakers throughout the State will de-
vote special attention to the young
men and the Democratic press will
give the idea hearty support, and call
attention to the work that young men
can and are doing. Leaders have been
selected in each county, who will, in
time appoint township and precinct
leaders to put high-class literature in
the hands of young men and to secure
their interest and active support up
till the election. 1t is the desire that
every young white man who is of~vOt-
ing age, not only register and be pre-
pared to cast an intelligent vote, but
that he shall be also student of pub
lie questions and "a working Demo
crat. The widespread interest in the
movement indicates that it will be one
of the most popular and really use
full agencies of many campaigns. But
it's influence is not to stop. On the
contrary it is designed to be of per-
manent effect in securing more atten-
ton to the intelligent and earnest
study of pub. questions. At many
points in the sate large Democratic
clubs have been organized among the
young men.

THEY WANT

Chinese Ask For
a Constitutional
Government
ARE AGAINST THRONE

Peking, Oct PA surprising revolt
has taken place against the govern
ment. The imperial senate, not yet
three weeks old, has voted to me-
morialize the throne for the early
opening of general parliament. This
action appears to indicate that the
new Senate will not be submissive
or mock institution but one with
which the grand council must reckon.
AS far back as last June formal
demand was made for the Immediate
convocat1on OF a national parliament,
the establishment of which had been
promised for the year 1915. An i'm
perial DEGREES was then issued, refus'
ing the demand.
The imperial senate no sooner as
sembled on October 3rd than the pro-
vincia1 delegates formed an opposition
party and arrayed themselves against
the throne.

WRONG MAN SUSPECTED.
Not The Notorious Pickpocket That
Is Being Much Sought After.


|. Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 24-Rogue's
gallery. pictures of William Tolliver,
the notorious pickpocket and all round
crook, received here, put an end to
the belief that the man arrested here
in the act of picking the pocket of a
Johnston county man, is this much
|sought-after criminal. There is no re-
|semblance between the two men. He
had with him grip in which were let
ters addressed to William Tolliver.
He explained to representatives Of the
press that he met man in Richmond
giving his name as William To1liver;
that he left Richmond Monday for
Philadelphia to see the ball games
and asked the prisoner to bring his
grip on to Greensboro and leave it at
the Clegg hotel, where he would get
it later When shown photographs OF
Trolliver he said there is at least a
strong resemblance between the pic
lures and the man whose grip he car
ried. He insists that his correct name
is N. r. Hamilton, and that his people,
including a wife and two children,
live seven miles out from Richmond
on a farm. He has ticket to Green's
boro that he bought here and insists
that he was going on the same train
at which he was arrested, to Green's
boro and from there to Asheville,
where he planned to spend some time
on account of lung trouble. He says
he has not communicated with his
people, leaving that matter with his
lawyers. He has iron gray hair and
decidedly dished face, rather yellow
complexion and yellowish blue eyes,
probably feet five inches and weighs
150 pounds.
