Speaking before group of business 4nen today, Lynn w. Wilson, Demo- cratic candidate for Congress, relative to Congressman Hills speech at the Armory, last night, said:
 'T see that Congressman Hill tells us that we ought to stop complaining pf the high cost of living in this coun- try, and offer thanks because we do Hot yet have to eat unhulled rice, as they do in China. We have all been trying for some weeks to get MT. Hill to tell us what he did in Congress and why he did it.
 But he insists instead on telling us of his European travels, and what he saw of poverty from the windows oI the best hotels in Europe. Asia and Africa.
 MT. Hill seems to think that be- cause Japanese work for eight cents a day, that Americans intend to do. so. And when he speaks. of Belfast and the girls VI VOrk for S2.50 a week he forgets that thousands of Irishmen have come from that land to this to escape those conditions.
 If he would travel at home more, and go abroad less, he would know that there are thousands of girls em- ployed by the cotton barons of this country who earn less than. S2.5O a week, which he says tho Belfast girls were paid when they came under the masterly view of his statesmanlike in- tellect.
 ''He says that if would read more and write less I would know more about conditions in this country. And I say that if he wH1ld read more and travel less, he Would not have made his Armory sneech.
 Had he spent less time in studying poverty among the Chinese and more in the study of poverty in the United States he would not have been so proud of those statistics of wages in Belfast. where girls, he says. are paid only $2.50 a week, for he would have studied the statistics cs manufactures, collected 5y the United States Census Bureau, and would knowthat there are thousands who are paid no more in this country. Had he read more and thought more he would know that g. 50 iii> Ireland will buy a great deal more of the necessities of life than S2.50 will in this country.
 MT. Hill seems especially proud of the tariff upon cotton goods. But he does not seem to know that of the A. 900 employees reported in the cotton in- dustry thousands earn less than $5 a week. and thousands more earn less I0du 70 a W0ek anu OlueT luOuSdlUS less than $7 a week, and very few as much as $10 a week.
 Had MT. Hill read more ana trev- eled less. had he labored harder to serve the people and less to serve the interests, he would know that the same census report which furnishes these figures of wages paid by the Cot ton Barons, also says:
 The statistics for the census of
 1905 indicate the continued increas-
 ing success of the United States in
 their competition with the .nanu-
 featuring countries of the world
 for the cotton goods market
 "The United States sells cotton goods to the world Cotton goods are man. ufactured cheaper in the United States than anywhere else in the world. The Cotton Bcrons enjoy enormous tariffs granted by MT. Hill, and his friends of the System. But the Cotton, ,Barons pay their workers the same wages that MT. Hill found in Europe. Some cot

GUILTY OF TREASON CHARGE AGAINST
 ROOSEVELT
Special from United Press.)

Washington, Nov. 5-Of1cial Wash ington is aghast, today, over the de- nunciation of Colonel Roosevelt by Thomas Nelson Page, in an address before the National Democratic Lea gue. last night. Declaring the Colonel guilty of treason, and that he for feited the respect of the country by his attacks on the Supreme Court, the novelist said:
 There is no question, whatever, that his denunciation of the Supreme Court has done much to injure his prestige in the country and command breach which it is difficult to cov- er'
 He quoted from George Washington to support the contention that an at tack upon one coordinate branch of the Government. was an attack upon the liberties of the whole country.

REGISTRARS NEED NOT RECOGNIZE
 MINOR PARTIES
In Appointing Chanengers, Counters and Checkers Decides Judge Williams Today.

The registrars of voters in each
 own have by legislation been giver the full responsibility of the conduc- tion of the election of candidates or election day, and have the full dis cretion in the appointment of chal- lengers, checkers, counters and other officers for the carrying on of the election-such is the finding of Judge William H. Williams today sitting in the Superior Court in hearing the polling the registrars of voters in Stamford to appoint challengers counters and checkers from the Citi- zen's Party as suggested by that party for the approaching election.
 The finding of the court has an inn portant bearing on the conduction of this and future elections. If the mandamus petition had been allowed, then the Socialist party, the Prohibi- ton party, or any other minor politi- cal party could step in and demand of the registrars in any town that their primary list be recognized in the matter of challepgers, counters, checkers and other election day of f1cers.
 Warren s. Abel and Albert Phillips. Republican and Democratic registrars of voters, respectively, in Stamford appeared before the court presenting a motion that the writ of mandamus be quashed. Their motion was granted, followed by the dismissing 2 of the writ.
 The court in it's finding says ''that the law clearly states that the regis trars shall appoint one or more chal- lengers, but the court is asked to say you shall appoint more than one. do not think it has the power. The legislature says that the registrars shall exercise judgment in the matter of selections for such officers. I do not think the court has the power to command tl1enl." Attorney John C. Chamberlain, counsel for the Citi- zen's Party asked would the court be willing if the registrars found it necessary to have more challengers

UNANSWERABLE ARGUMENTS BY
 JUDGE BALDWIN
Masterly Presentation of Case of People of Connecticut vs. the
 Republican Lobby] Machine

The managers of the Republican campaign began by laying down fol their speakers certain line of talk
 They were to try to direct attention from the tariff and the way it is bring. ing strain and privation to most Con. necticut homes; strain on the house. mother, privation to all.
 They were to try to ignore the sub. ject of political corruption.
 They were to try to ignore the fact that the Republican and Democratic platforms. and candidates, were sub- stantially agreed on the three great subjects of Public Utilities commis- sion; a re-adjustment of the relations of employers to employees, so as to throw the burden of personal injuries from accident upon the business, in- stead of upon the employee: and a removal of the $5,OOO limit of dam- ages for injuries causing death. They borrowed these blanks from our platform.
 They were to ignore the subject of the popular election of United States senator's; and they have.
 have announced my advocacy of it and stated my reasons. MT. Good win and all the other Republican speakers, so far as I have observed, have kept absolutely silent on than subject. I assume therefore that he and they are against 1t.
 do not wonder.
 A big pocket book is much more important factor in getting votes for United States senatOrship if the Legislature elects, than if the people elect.
 The men and the only men whom the Republican party of late years have put forward for the leading of- fees, or who have put themselves for ward, are men of large fortune or the sons of men of large fortune.
 I am not one of those who think that a rich man is public enemy. The rich men of Connecticut have often been among its most useful cit- izens, supporters of good causes, em- pIoyers of labor who were known by their men to have their welfare at heart.
 But I hold that the rich man who needs his wealth to buy nominations or buy elections to public offices is a public enemy.
 am glad that the Democratic platform comes out squarely this year, for a law that will so far as possible, prevent every kind of poli- tical corruption.

MILLION IN
 POCKETS OF WHEAT BARONS
(Special from JJnited pres. |,

Chicago, Nov. 5-That recent sharp declines of from 15 to 20 cents a bushel in wheat have put millions in the pock- cts Of the Armour interests and of A. J. Lichstein. is the belief here today on the part of the long interests in the Pit. Those operators are believed to have had, few days ago, paper prof its running up to about $2,00O,O GOO. and steady buying in the last three days is said to be rapidly turning this mar gin into cash.
 Bulls in wheat are said to have suf- fered the worst trouncing they have had in years, the weak market forcing the longs to unload and enabling the shorts to recoup on any material ad- vance in prices.
 Other shorts. who are credited with making big killings in the recent vagaries of the market are James Pat ten. John Barrett. Arthur Cutten and other big operators

Wiieh this great endurance test,
with its six through cars and Its con-
voy II newspaper men from Kansas
City and Kansas points reaches Pucb

good roads meeting is over, and the
little jaunt to Canon City and the try.
out OF the famous Skyline drive at
the Royal Gorge Is ended, the return
into Kansas will be undertaken over
the famous Central Kansas Colorado
Boulevard.
This route Is exclusively the Mis-.

tends from Great Bend, Kansas, To
Pueblo, almost as straight rs the crow
flies, and through superb country
that is second only to the famous Ar
kansas Valley. 1t has organized good
roads movement, like that OF the New
Santa Fc Trail. and 1t Is worthy "f
consideration aud publicity, and 1t Is
getting both.
The New Santa Fc Trail officers
have not yet given out any schedule
pertaining to to the return trip over
the boulevard, but it is known that
there will be n fine run over this fine
road, and brief stops at various points.
Some of the commercial clubs, both
In Colorado and In Kansas. have
asked the privilege Of entertaining
the Trailers as they go through. and
there will be occasions that will be
pleasant and profitable.
Returning from Canon City and the
Skyline drive Sunday afternoon. the
Traitors will leave Pueblo in the
early evening and run east from there
through Ordway, Olncy, Arlington,
Sugar City, and on into Kansas. This
trip will be rs much OF a revelation
as the trip over the Trail through
the Arkansas Valley.
Various irrigation enterprises, vari.
Gus line new projects under way, COM
plcted or proposed, will be seen.
Hearty welcome will be extended, just
the same as In the valley. The people
will be Just as fine and homclikc. and
