|ited. He says Wilson seems to APP
peal more to the plain people there
than any man yet suggested as the
successor President Taft.
Among the men Assemblyman
Donnolly mentions as being strongly
in favor of Wilson is David Walsh,
who ran as lieutenant governor with
Foss In Massachusetts this year and
was defeated, although Foss was
elected by a narrow majority. AS
semblyman DonnoIly said:
mfr. Walsh told me that in his
opinion Wilson was the mar who
would be selected at the next Demo-
cratic national convention and the
man who would be elected. With
out trying to discount the Fess Doom
Mr.. Walsh did not seem to thing that
Governor Foss himself hoped for
anything in the convention.
While we in New Jersey may
imagine that Wilson is not well
known in other states, / want to a

toned about Wilson and heard fa-
yorable expressions of opinion about
him, whether 1t was In Massachu-
sets or Missouri. As soon as l reg
istered at a hotel as from New Jer-
sey, either the clerk or the proprie-
tor or some other man would begin
to talk Wilson to me. / found that
they want Wilson because they feel
that he Is q clean, honest man, a
manly man, a brainy man, and,
above all, a a who has the inter-
est of the plain people at heart rath-
err than that of the moneyed inter-
ests.
why, even in Ohio, in Cleveland
and In another town Rezenna, they
spoke highly of Wilson"
The Sioux City lIa.) Tribune
throws some light on Wilson as fol-
lows:
Democratic politics is assuming
the aspect of anything to beat VIII
son. Eight months in advance of
the national convention it is evident
that every artiice known to politics
will be employed by big business and
its agents in the Democratic party to
prevent the nomination of the pro-
gressive governor of New Jersey. AL
ready the tactics which will be used
to accomplish this result have been
disclosed.
1T is the ancient 'fayorite SON
game. Local and sectional pride are
to be appealed to In an effort to elect
delegates who can be handled for a
r~eactionary candidate in the national
convention. In any contest. where
men are elected for a 'favorite son
as against Wilson, the very fact that
they have lent themselves to an anti
Wilson movement will be a guaran-
ty that they car be vyted as desired
by those who would foist on the
party some other candidate satisfac-
tory to Wall street.
big business is vitality interested
in the selection of the Democratic
nominee because of the general be-
lief that President Taft, even II re-
nominated cannot be reelected. The
New York Sun, faithful mirror of
Wall streets views, shows that it is |
under nc delusion as to his failure
on his recent trip to win back the
lost confidence of the Republican
rank and file
The possibility therefore, tina a
Democrat will be elected renders it
that privilege interests,
which are lighting for life, will re-
sort to every known means to con-
,rol the Democratic nomination.
Governor Wilson, Of all Democratic
possibilities, is the n Inn whom
hey wish to keep out Of the presi-
chair. II he is to win the
nomination, 1t will be because public

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

be about one-fourth the size of
the message of last year. The
President has done we'll to accept
the advice of those who insisted that
the message should be short.
A great deal Of the success of the
administration depends on whether
or not the people are with the Exec
utive in the program he has mapped
out, but 1t is hard for the people to
know the program unless they read
the messages sent to congress by the
President. When these messages NIL

a thousand who has the time to read
them and those who do have the
time are not the kind who will take
the trouble.

Igbse length and a half dozen short
special messages during the session
will do far more in the way Of WIN
ming support throughout the country
than the kind of messages which
have been coming from the White
House during the last decade,
Owing to the recent agitation the
message this year will be awaited
with more than ordinary interest.
While it Is pretty generally under
stood how the President stands on
the various issues, he has TO- had
timag to thoroughly consider the
facts Of his recent tour through the

that one Of the significant develop

CONGRESSMAN LAFFERTYS
CONFLICTING STORIES
In TangIe Between Letters He Has Written and
Statements He Has Made.

Representative Lafferty, of oregon, who
claimed yesterday that he was a victim
of q conspiracy to besmirch his charac-
ter because he attacked railroad inter
ests in his State, has made some state
ments which do not coincide. For this
reason the tangle which he has woven
about himself has become more involved
and the story of which he is the center
does not seem, as yet, to be a closed
incident.
As stated yesterday, Mr.. Lafferty was
charged with having written a letter to a
young lady in this city whom he did not
know, but whose picture had been printed
In a newspaper. He sent her a card to
the House gallery, expressed a desire to
meet her. and told her that he was a
bachelor without q family. In his state
ment sent Sunday night to the Portland
oregonian and printed In this city yes
terday morning. he stated that he had
written the letter. but claimed that It
was mild and inoffensive communica-
ton and that his explanation TO the ia

DEATH BEFORE 100
YEARS IS SUICIDE
Prof. Munyon Says Ignorance of
Laws of Health Explains
Early End of Life.
Noted Scientist Has Encouraging
Word for Despondent Men
and Women.

Death before 100 years OF age has been
| reached is nothing more or less than
slow suicide. 4 man (or woman) who
dies at an earlier age is simply ignorant
OF the laws OF health
Such was the original and rather start
ling statement made by Prot James NJ.
Munyon, the famous Philadelphia health
authority, who is establishing health
headquarters in all the large cities OF
the world, for the purpose OF getting In
direct touch with his thousands of con-
verts.
Prof. Munyon is q living embodiment of
the cheerful creed he breaches. Virile,
well-poised. active, and energetic, he
looks as though he would easily attain
the century age limit which he declares
is the normal one. He said:
II want the people OF the world to
know my opinions on the subject OF
health, which are the fruit Of a lifetime
devoted to healing the sick people of
America. There isn't a building in this
city big enough 10 house the people in
this State alone who have found health
through my methods. Before 1 get
through there won't be a building big
enough to house my cured patients in
this city alone"
Il want. most Of all, to talk to the
sick people-the invalids, the discouraged
*,
racking diseases and ailments-for these
are the ones to whom the message Of
hope I bear will bring the greatest bless
ing.
Il want to talk to the rheumatics, the
sufferers from stomach trouble the ones
afflicted with that noxious disease,
catarrh. want to tell my story to the
women who have become chronic invalids
as a result of nervous troubles. I want
to talk to the men who are all run
down. whose health has been broken by
overwork. Improper diet, late hours, and
other causes, and who feel the creeping
clutch of serious chronic Illness.
ITO these people I bring a story OF
hope. l can give them q promise OF
better things. I want to astonish them
by showing the record Of cures performed
through my new system OF treatment.
IT have taken the best ideas from all
schools and embodied them in a new
system OF treatments individually adapted
to each particular case. have no cure

duct, he said over his own signature
that the letter was not written with my
knowledge or consent. but was prepared
by others in my office. who heard me
say. after seeing the picture In paper
that she appeared to be very nice look
ing" When asked by reporter or The
Washington Herald last night as to
which of these stories was correct. Mr..
Lafferty replied that the statement In
which he admitted writing the letter was
the correct one. The other letter. writ
ten to the father, he acknowledged was
untrue.
1t showed also that he stated that Mr..
Lafrerty told a reporter of The Washing
ton Herald Sunday night that he had
never seen a picture OF the young woman
in a paper, but had seen her elsewhere
His original letter to the young woman
refutes that statement.
There are still other letters which have
not yet been printed.
Representative Lafferty Is thirty-six
years of age. This Is his first term. He
was born In Missouri June TO- 1875; went
to Portland in March. 1906, and, accord
ing TO his biography In the Congressional
Directory. became a candidate for Con-
gress In 1910 as Q progressive Repub-
lican."

DENIES PREACHER
CRITICISED RESORT
Glen Echo Manager Brands
Reports as False.

Manager L. B. Schloss last night denied
the report published yesterday that Glen
Echo Park had, by its Sunday programme
of religious exercises, attempted to hold
UP to contempt and ridicule the existing
Maryland laws covering the observance
of Sunday in that State.
The assertion that Rev. Francis ]. Lu-
kens. OF Washington. who preached at
Glen Echo Sunday, had criticised the
amusement resort in connection with the
present quarrel between opposite oolit-
ical factions in the town was denounced
as a malicious falsehood by Mr.. Schloss.
who said:
1 announced publicly last week that
Glen Echo would be open on Sunday.
On Thursday, when I learned that my
original plan for Sunday operation Of the
resort might render me liable for viola
tiOn OF the so-called blue laws, I at once
arranged, in order to keep faith with the
public, a Sabbath programme that even
the most fanatical opponent of rational
Sunday diversion could not reasonably
critcise.
There was no attempt to mislead the
Lublic. as the announcement was spread
broadcast that the park would operate
none OF the amusement attractions Sun
day. but would present a programme
comprising only sacred concerts. NOV
ing-picture exhibitions of religious
events, such as the Passion Play and
sermons by the Rev. Mr. Lukens. who
volunteered his services. This pro-
gramme was carried out in the presence
OF 5000 interested spectators.
There was no suppressed merriment
or other untOward reception OF the re-
ligiOus services. which were conducted ex-
actly as If held in an established place Of
worship, nor was anything other than re-
spectful attention anticipated from those
in attendance.
Rev. Mr.. Lukens did not refer, even
by inference. to any political differences
among the residents of Glen Echo, and
neither did he allude to the park man
agement in any connection. The report
that he rebUked the park management is
a falsehoOd that could have emanated
only from a faction, pitiably in the mi
nority in the town Of Glen Echo, which
has completely failed in a desperate en-
deavOr to draw the Glen Echo Park Com
pany into the politics of Montgomery
County. Despite the Vaccinations of any
faction, we shall continue TO conduct
Glen Echo in identically the same man
ner 1t has been operated all seasonal
clean, high-class outdoor recreation re-
sort, primarily appealing TO the patron
age Of women and children"
