Republican Nominee Popular
With Worklngmen
FROM MILL BOY TO GOVERNOR
Former President of Amaleamated
iron and Steel Workers Tells of In

Especial Correspondence
Pittsburg, Aug. 80.

Pittsburg, Aug. 80.
Although the gubernatorial cam
paign in Pennsylvania has hardly got
ten well under way, one fact has been
demonstrated, and that Is that John
Kinley Tener, the Republican nominee
for governor, is going to be one OF the
most popular candidates with the
workingmen that ever ran ON a state
ticket.
This is not surprising to those ia
miliar with his record and who have
followed his course both in private
and public life.
His whole history is that of a man
who has worked hard himself and
who is in full sympathy with labor
by reason of his associations with the
wage earners from his boyhood days.
ANY one who, like Mr.. Tener, had to
begin at the very bottom of life's lad
der and depend upon his own energy
aud resources to win success can ap-
Freciate his concern for the welfare

make up the great industrial army of

81 do not believe that a single acre
of our public lands should hereafter
pass into private ownership except for
the single purpose of homestead set

equally necessary on the mineral

"The forest service has enemies be-

Much of the opposition to the for

direct misrepresentation"
Like the forest service, the recla.

Denver Wild Over Roosevelt.
The tour of Mr.. Roosevelt through
the west is becoming more interesting
every day. Denver turned out in large
numbers to bid him goodby and god
speed. The capitol of Colorado went
wild over Roosevelt The newspapers
praised the colonel to the skies. Most
of the political sharps out here seem
to think that if Mr.. Roosevelt wants
the nomination in 1912 he can have it,
but the colonel has expressed no de-
sire yet, unless 1t is through the fire.

the day was consumed in travelling.
The first stop was made at Colorado
Springs, where about 1000 persons
cheered and heard the colonel scold
the corporations some more.
Pueblo cleaned the streets and did
all sorts of things to make Mr.. Roose-
welt and his party feel at home. The
reception committee that got on the
train at Denver handed out regular
paper badges that admitted you to any

mobiles was down at the station and
the band played.

him asking that he advise them about

piled that he isn't familiar with condi

hand out a bit of advice on the out
side.
Mr. Roosevelt is strongly of the
opinion that the people of New Mex

New Haven Times-Leader.
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-11-12

Il vember 3, was one Of the best
falrs held in the South this year with
the exception of the Texas Fair. at
Dallas. Certainly it was the best fair
ever held in Mississippi.
The weather was good, the attend
ance large, and the exhibits numer-
Gus, and in most instances, of fair
quality. Some of the exhibits were of
high order, while inferior exhibits
were much less numerous than usual
at Southern fairs.
With modern classification in the
live stock classes, the abolition Of
gambling devices and schemes for
fleeing the public and a more rigid
culling and curtailing of the shows or
attractions CD, the Mississippi State
Fair of 1910 would have been an
honor to the State and reflected much
credit on the management.
The exhibits of farm crops. ma
chinery and manufactures were nu-
merous and of class that would do
credit to any fair
In the class for county exhibits of
agricultural products Jackson Coun-
ty on the Gulf coast, secured first
premium, and Madison County, in the
Genital part OF the State. second. In
the latter exhibit was corn from the
acre that produced PIT bushels, the
largest yield we have yet heard Of
this year.
The feature of the live stock ex-
hibits was the large and excellent
show OF hogs. In numbers the hogs
reached what is perhaps high water
mark" at Mississippi fairs. 365, and
in quality the exhibit was no less not
able.
The awards of premiums were as
follows:
Bcrkshires.-Best pair under six
months: /. A. l.. Hughes, Jackson:

The exhibit OF Duroc-Jerseys was
made by j. NJ. Cade, Jackson. Miss,
who had no competition in the class
es, but the quality of his stock would
have stood competition OF the best
stock shown anywhere. 1t is seldom
that better Duroc-Jerseys are seen at
any show than a number of those ex-
hibited by Mr.. Cade. In the sweep
stakes class, open TO any breed, the
awards were as follows:

Jackson, was the chief attraction of
the cattle exhibit. The animals were
in show condition and being of a
good quality attracted a great deal
Of attention.
The poultry exhibit was not only
large but Of uniformly high quail
ity. as is usual at this fair under
the management of Mr.. w. c. Taylor,
Jackson.
No part OF the fair attracted more
interest or was more closely studied
by the farmers than the exhibits OF
agricultural implements. The large
tent Of the International Harvester
Co.. in which various machines werr
kept in operation by gasoline engines
was particularly attractive.
At no fair in the South have we
seen greater tendency on the par
of visiting farmers to study carefully
and learn all possible from the agri-
cultural exhibits. This augurs wei
for the progress Of Mississippi agri-
culture and shows that the fair is
filling its true mission.
But again, for the sake of good
morals; yea, common decency, let the
swindling devices and the low-class
shows become very much less numer-
Gus and conspicuous. The fair can
exist without them; they have no
legitimate place in the uplift of
Southern agriculture, for which the
fair is supposed to be maintained.
