SECRETARY WILSON.

Secretary Wilson, Iowa's member OF
President Taft's cabinet, who holds
the record for the longest cabinet serv-
ice, addressed a political meeting at
Atlantic the other night. Secretary
Wilson said he would not make polit-
ical speech, as he knew little about
politics. II came to speak to you as
one farmer to another" said he, "and
to inquire IL It is wise to make any
change at this time He continued:
''In the early days we were all pro-
ducers Of bread and meat. We couldn't
sell things to each other, SO those
products had to find their way to
Europe. Those people didn't grow corn
and wheat and cattle and hogs. We
didn't get big prices for our products
IN those days. Why, remember OF
getting 80 cents bushel for corn
after carrying 1t seventy-fve miles to
Cedar Rapids. The democrats would
bring us back to those conditions.
$50, in the early days when the re.
publican, party was formed we got to-
gether and discussed matters. We said
it won't do for all Of us to produce
wheat and meat; we must have diver
SIZED interests. So on the Inaugural
ton OF the party we secured plank
for protection to the extent Of the dill
ference in the cost of production at
home and abroad, This is republican
doctrine; 1t is now and ever has been.

BE PREPARED FOR WORST.
Friend Tells Senator lothian p. Aids
at Albany.

Albany, N. Y.-Senator lothian p.
Aids, of Chenango, whose trial be-
fore the Senate on charge of having
demanded and accepted thousand
dollar bride to influence his official
action as majority leader in the 1901
session of the Assembly, came to a
close, was told by close personal and
political friend to prepare for the
worst.
1T would be difficult for any person
not actually in touch with the situa-
ton at the Capitol to appreciate the
bitterness that exists against Senator
Conger among his fellow-members
of the upper house.
One of the Senators who voted for
Hinman for majority leader in the re-
cent Senate caucus and who, there
fore, cannot be regarded rs an Aids
partisan, said that regardless of any
verdict he would move to have
charges preferred against Senator
Conger before Senate committee
the moment the Aids case had been
decided.
"And should the Senate fail to ex-
pei Conger, shall offer my resigna-
tion," said this Senator. Il cannot
sit in this Chamber with man like
Conger."
