The Presidents message in brief is
as follows:
He declares it is time to stop legis-
lating, with reference to regulation to
corporations, and to witness the eff
feet of a vigorous execution Of the
laws already on the statute book.
The exact limitation upon business
methods imposed by law will doubt
less be made clearer by pending de-
cisions of the supreme court.
He recommends strongly some
form of ship subsidy to increase
American shipping, especially to
South America.
The tariff board is not ready to sub
NIT a report on any of the schedule
Of the Payne law, and Mr.. Taft says
he will not recommend any tariff
legislation until the new congress
convenes in December, 1911. He urg-
es that the tariff board be made per
manent and that all future revisions
be made schedule by schedule. He
vigorously opposes another general re-
vision.
The Panama Canal should by all
means be fortified. An appropriation
of $1J,000,000 is recommended for
this purpose.
There must be no more "pork-barrer
methods in river and narbor and pub
lie building bills. The latter should
be based upon the report of COM
mission of experts. In the past, con-
gress has appropriated too much for
buildings not needed and not enough
for buildings badly needed.
recommendation for anti-injunc-
ton and Federal Incorporation laws
are renewed.
1t is proposed that seoond-class
mail rates shall be readjusted so as
to charge magazines much higher
rate on their advertising sections.
! Strong representations are made
for the establishment of new bank
ing and currency system.
Two new battleships and several
auxiliary vessels are urged for the
navy.
The President recommends that
coal, phosphate and oil lands and
water power sites be disposed of in
the future by leasing.
Estimates for government expendt
lures during the next fiscal year ap
preparations for the current year
The estimated receipts for the next
fiscal year are S6S0,O00,000.
The President urges the extension
of the civil service principle to al
classes of postmasters and to tho dip
lomatis and consular corps, and the
' acquisition by the government O
residences and offices for its diploma
tic officers.
Some criticisms of the Payne tariff
act are just, says the President, bu
more are unfounded.
There should be more officers fo
the army; the engineer corps shoult
be increased by sixty
Regarding the Panama Calan tn
President says: "The progress of tn
; work is most satisfactory. 1t will b
completed we'll within the time SET
January 1, 1915, and within the. es
, timated cost of $975,000,000. TIL
, slides in Culebra cut offer no grea
reason for delay"
Interstate railroads should be pre-
vented from owning or controllin
shirs trading through the canal.
!: The President declares the cryin
need of the United States in cheaper
1 ing the cost of litigation by simpl
r flying judicial procedure and expedi
e ing final judgement. The suprem
e court should be relieved from III

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
ROCHESTER,, ~ Y, Sept. 2S.-The
victory of Colonel Roosevelt and the
progressive element at the Republic
can State Convention in Saratoga has
given the Democrats a scare and fore
ed a realization that with Roosevelt
in the saddle the Republicans will
make strenuous efforts to carry the
Empire State this fall.
Mayor Gaypor's latest letter, in
which he positively declined to run
for Governor, even If nominated, has
changed the commentator of that
official into condemnation.
Among those who have opened head
quarters here for Thursdays State
Convention, In the hope OF getting
the nomination are Congressman
James S. HAYES, who defeated Boss
Aldridge, Edward NJ Shepard, OF

RESOLUTIONS
AT SARATOGA

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 2S.-As ex-
pected. the plank in the Republican
state platform which was intended by
Colonel Roosevelt to overshadow all
else was that which declared for con-
tinuation of the graft hunt. The III
rect primary plank, over which the
biggest fight was made, was a distinct
compromise, although it pledged the
party to direct nominations eventually.
President Tafts administration is also
enthusiastically endorsed.
The platform as prepared the
resolutions committee says in {:
I'VE declare relentless warfa. lpon
official and legislative wrong dong In
this state. The crook and CRATER,
and unfaithful man in public service
shall be put out and kept out.
I'VE enthusiastically endorse the
progressive and statesmanshiplike
leadership Of William Howard Taft,
and declare our pride in the achieve
ment of the first Is months as Presi-
dent Of the United States. Each sue
ceeding month since his Inauguration
has confirmed the nation in its nigh
estimate OF his greatness of character,
intellectual ability, sturdy common
sense. extraordinary patience and per-
severance, broad and craftsmanship
like comprehension of public questions
and unfailing and answering adher-
ence to duty.
The Payne tariff law reduced the
average rate of all duties eleven per
cent By increasing the duties on
some luxuries and articles not of or
binary use, making, however, no in
crease on common food products, It
turned a national deficit into a sur
plus. II maximum and minimum
rates give us for the first time equal
fly of opportunity with other nations
IN our foreign trade. In providing,
upon the suggestion of President Taft
for a tariff board, 1t affords the
means of still more accurately deter
mining the difference in cost OF pro-
duction at home and abroad. Ad-
vances in the cost of living are only
the local reflection on the tariff that
is worldwide and cannot be truthful
ly said to be due to the present
tariff.
The Congress has responded to
recommendations of the President by
enacting measures of far-reaching i'm
portance to the people, including val
/ liable amendments TO the Interstate
Commerce law, a postal savings bank
law, law providing for the public
! fly of campaign expenses, the creation
of a bureau of mines with a view ia
the better protection OF mine work
ers and laws extending the regulation
of safety appliances.
I'VE congratulate the people on
the notable progress OF the State un-
der the four years administration oil
Governor Hughes, which has beer
conspicuous for the highest standards
of efficiency.
ITO Governor Hughes is due the
credit of arousing the interest of the
people and convincing them OF the
directly electing their party officers
and directly nominating their part,
candidates. We promisge Legislation
which will enact these principles int
law"
The vote in the resolution commit
tee was % to 10 on the adoption of thu
majority report.

ROME FACES
CHOLERA SCARE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
ROME Italy, Sept. 2S.-Fear of a
cholera epidemic in Rome broke out
today. A number of those who have
fed from Rome to Naples where the
disease is widespread are being held
here for observation.
Most of the thousands who have left
Naples are women and children and Of
the well-to-do class. 3 Several SUSPECT
Gus cases OF sickness have developed
since their arrival In Rome and should
they be diagnosed as cholera the city
will quarantine against the Naples
district.
The government today sent a warn
ing 70 the Naples authorities to guard
her ports against all emigration and
exercise a still more rigid quarantine
of the infected parts fof the city. II
is probable that several regiments Of
soldiers will have to go to the aid
OF the Naples authorities. as they nave
been unable so far to control the sit
uation.
Few vessels are now stopping at Ma
pies and travel into the city by rail
has been practically abandoned.
Officially there have been but eight
new cases and four deaths in Naples
in the last "A hours and one death in
Apulia. Private advices. however, SAY
that new cases are developing at the
rate OF 300 a day and that there have
been rs deaths since Sunday. Secret
burials are being ordered for scores OF
those dying OF the disease, while at
the same time the authorities do not
announce that the deaths were from
cholera.

ROOSEVELT NOT OUT OF
THE WOODS, SAYS HEARST

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
PARIS, Sept. 2s.-Colonel Roosevelt
isn't out of the woods yet, according
to William r. Hearst, who in an inter-
view with the United Press today dis
cussed the possibilities Of both the
Democratic and Republican State con-
ventions in New York.
Roosevelt has scored the initial
success" Hearst said, but there is
danger that the tables may yet be
turned on him. Roosevelt is fighting
one of the most corrupt set of poll
ticians In the history of New York
and he will have to keep his eyes
open all the time, after the conven-
ton as well as during 1t, to prevent
falling into a trap of their laying"
Asked what he thought of Mayor
Gaynor's latest announcement that he
would refuse to run even II nomi-

fellow and the governorship is what
