LEADS THE SIMPLE
llF e,

San Francisco, Calf. = A shining
example Of simplicity is set by Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. who, greatly
to the amazement Of Pacific Avenue,
does her own gardening. In the early
evenings she trails a pretty house
gown across her lawn, dragging a
fraction of mile of rubber hose, with
which geraniums and roses are care
fully sprinkled. The retiring son Of
his famous father follows with advice
and suggestions, but Mrs. Roosevelt
herself does the work. Back Of the
house is garden, where Mrs. Roose-
welt spends much time among the
nasturtfums, roses and heiotrope
whose profusion is delight to her.

Referring to taxation DIR. Wilson
said:

be carefully reconsidered and altered
in such a manner as to ft economic
conditions
Discussing the question of corpora.

Corporations should not be favored
In the matter of taxation. The pow er
to regulate taxation and fix rates
should be vested in public utility

rations is much more the duty of the
state than Of the federal government .
In concluding his speech DR.. Wilson
said:
"The playing of politics is to be dep.
recated. Measures having for their
object the betterment Of our conditions
should be conceived in the largest
spirit and urged by leaders who are
statesmen and not demagogues."

Chicago, Sept. 17.-Insurgents were
victorious in three out of the twenty
five congressional districts Of Illinois
in the primary election.
| Henry s. Boutell, standpatter repub
! lican, who has represented the ninth
Chicago district in congress for twelve
years, was defeated by Frederick H.
Gansbergen, who conducted his cam.
paign on an out-and-out insurgent plat.
form. Gansbergen was supported by
the regular republican organization.
In the eleventh district Colonel Ira
G. Copley, the first man in Illinois to
come out as an insurgent candidate,
won the republican nomination over
George w. Conn, who classified him.
self as progressive conservative.
This seat is now occupied BY Howard
M. Snapp. a standpatter.
George Edmund Foss, standpatter
and head of the naval affairs commit
tee of the house, won the republican
nomination in the tenth district by
about 500 votes after hard contest
in which he was opposed by George p.
Englehard, insurgent.
Speaker Joseph G.. Cannon was re-
nominated in the eighteenth district by
a majority close to 5000. He was OPP
posed by Henry B. Downs, an insurg.
ent of his own city.
James R. Mann, an outspoken Can
non man, met stout resistance from
his progressive opponent in the Sec.
ond district. Returns were exception
ally meager, but the first few pre-
cincts showed a close race.
The Democrats who made Lorimer's
election to the senate possible were in
nearly every instance renominated.
The standpatters and progressives
split even in the 18th and 18th dis
tricts. John C. Mckenzie, a progress
i've, was renominated in the 18th by
the Republicans
The so-called Lorimer Democrats
won in large numbers. In the great
majority of instances they were re-
nominated for the state legislature.

Gratis.

| Trenton, N. j. The New Jersey
Democratic state convention nominal
ed DR.. Woodrow Wilson, president Of
Princeton university. for the ONCE Of
governor Of the state.
Dr.. Wilson's nomination was
brought about largely through the in
fluence of former U. 8. Senator James
Smith, Jr., of Essex county, who is
undisputed leader of the state, and
Robert Davis. leader Of the Hudson
Democracy, who for the first time in
years. acted in harmony with Senator
Smith. Besides this support, Mr.. Will
son had with him number Of indie.
pendent Democrats who believed that
because of his standing as an educator
he would make an unusually strong
candidate. DR.. Wilson was nominated
on the first ballot.
The platform adopted was in line
with the Democratic platform Of three
years ago. except that it was more
specific in advocacy of reform meas
Eres, including the comforting Of rate
making power upon the present pub
lie utilities commission.
DR.. Wilson after his nomination..
came before the convention. accepted
the nomination and made an address.
Three Vital Issues.
After discussing the platform DR..
Wilson said:
There are three great questions be.
fore the Reorganization and
economy in administration, equaliza-
ton of taxation and the control of cor
porations.
"Other important questions are the
proper liability of employers, the ques-
ton of corrupt practices in elections
and the questions of conservation.
Our system of government should
not be necessarily complicated and
