DON'T NOMINATE TAFT

DON'T NOMINATE TAFT
1t is painfully evident that Mr.
Taft has lost the confidence OF a
great majority not only of his
own party, but of the citizens in
the Nation at large. His entire
course has been marked by an
insincere wobbling and shifting
that has made thousands dis
trust him.
From the very first he has fav-
ored the Predatory Trusts-the
huge monopoly against whose
manifold and intolerable oppres-
sions the whole country is at this
hour loudly protesting.
Immediately after his Inaugural
ton, Mr.. Taft chose those now
discredited Tory agents Cannon
and Aldrich, as his trusted guides
and advisers, and al their instiga-
ton has increasingly made war
upon the Progressives who as
true Republicans are fighting the
peoples battle against these same
Trusts, and are honestly seeking
to make the party's conrse in
Congress square with the prom
ises of its platform.
Mr.. Taft has attempted by the
use of the powerful lever of pa
tronage to crush the patriot SEN
ator Robert M. LaFollette the
leader of the superb minority OF
those Republican senator's
yet loyal to the party's his
tory and principles.
Mr.. Taft sought to have the

agent;in his Cabinet, land he kicked

ing the fraud, and roundly rated
them and the American people to
boot, for forcing his pet Ballin-
gers resignation, thus causing
the failureof the big steal. In the
interests of the Whiskey Trust
and the Benzoate Dope Trust,
Mr.. Taft has hamstrung the Pure
Food and-Drug Act, and but that
the angry people at once
rallied to his defence, would also
have driven out DR.. Wiley, the
inveterate foe of the whole dope

dal after another in his Trust.
packed Cabinet has been dis
closed, wherein the interests Of
the people were being betrayed
into the hands of these rich con.
spirators, till the whole country
is sick of it all.
Already Mr.. Taft has entered
upon campaign among the Of
ficeholders North and South,
seeking with their aid and that of
a aTrust-subsidized Press, to force
his own denomination upon the
coming National Republican Con-
vention. Unless the Republican
press of the country, already as
widely as deeply aroused against
this administration, protest long
and loudly, he will secure that
denomination, especially since
he can manipulate en- bloc in the
Convention the Southern dele.
gates, who though they represent
no votes in the Electoral College
still count fatally in the Conven-
ton.
Because THE TRANSCRIPT is
also loyal to these true principles
of the Republican party of glor-
ious history and believes the Ma
tion's destiny will be safe in its
keeping, it protests against the
denomination of Mr.. Taft as
piece of suicidal folly that will
certainly draw after it the party's
overwhelming defeat in the next
national election and may prove
its destruction.

perts. All are Englishmen and have
remained here in the interests OF
their company. F. NJ. Haymon, man.
ager, also learned that two bombs
have been placed in the mine and he
has asked the president of the re.
public to order rigid investigation.
None of the 10000 miners of the
camp, nor in Dos Estrellas, five kill
ometers distant, reported for work to-
day. The towns are filled with idle
men. Approximately thousand
troops are on hand.
The management of Ell Orc has re-
fused to consider any demands of
the men and has closed the property.
Only the stamp mill and smelter are
being operated. Fearing a repetition
of riots, like yesterdays, when num-
ber of the strikers were killed and
wounded by soldiers, many more for
eign women were sent out of the
camp today. There IS still evident
strong anti-foreign sentiment.

CONVICT HAS 4
VACATION OF
IS Minutes

Walking slowly away from the crew
he was working with, William Young
an inmate at the state penitentiary
secured forty-five minutes OF free
dom last night about five o'clock and
was captured three miles north OF
here by Guard Mason.
Young is a member of the brick
yard crew, stationed about half a mile
north of the institution, and was no.
ticed walking away from the plant by
Mason, in charge of a field crew some
distance away. Mason called to him
to stop and then brought his crew in
and started out after him.
The alarm was given at once and
a posse started in search. The dogs
found the trail at once and were al
most upon Young when Mason rode
up and pointing a gun at his head,
asked him what he was trying to do.
The convict replied jokingly that he
was looking for some new potatoes
but could not find any. Young was
sent up from Morton county In No.
vember of 1909 on four year SEN
tence for resisting an officer of the
law. His short vacation is liable to
prove dear to him.

DEVILS LAKE, Aug. 3.-Mr. and
Mrs. Tilden vs.. A. ]. Wirtz is the
title of the action that is being tried
before Judge Cowan in the district
court this afternoon, property in Ben
son county being involved. The mat
ter relates to a deed for q quarter
section of land near Knox together
with a bill Of sale for threshing
rig, which it is claimed were obtained
by Wortz by fraud. Mr.. and Mrs.
Tylden thought they were signing a
power of attorney when in reality
they were signing deed Of SALE: The
power of attorney, they claim, was
given to ENABLE Wirtz to dispose Of
the property, in return for which he
was to receive a reasonable sum and
was to turn over the balance of the
money obtained by sale. This, it is
claimed by the plaintiff, the defend
ant failed to do.
On the other hand, in the arguments
brought forth this afternoon, Mr..
Wirtz claimed the transaction to be
an ordinary one and the deed and
bill of sale were given him for debts
which plaintiff owed him, Wirtz fur.
ther agreeing to pay other debts Of
the plaintiff, which he claims he did.
Some heated arguments are expected
by the attorneys, the case having
been started last fall. .

GOOD RAIN At MOTT.

Wheat Better Than Was Ex-

MOTT, N. D., Aug. "a fine rain
fell here. all of it going into the
ground and wetting down from four
to six inches. This assures a good
potato crop and will make a bumper
crop of corn which there is a large
acvreage in Hettinger county.
A great deal of the flax is still
in fine condition and will be very
materially benefited. Under right
conditions from now on an average
crop is expected. A goodly number
of the fields of wheat that we're at
one time thought to be dried up, will
make some income.
Harvest has commenced and wheat
is turning out fine, very heavy and
we'll filed.

BIG Time FOR
GREAT Opening
Mlnot is bPIanning Many Func.
tions Including Aerop|ane
Flights
Especial to the TrIbune)

\SP0Ssos " s'S spt00"S/
MINOT, Aug. 3-The services of the
peerless little Curtiss aviator, Lucky
Bob" St. Henry, have been secured
by the commercial club of Minot to
give a two days exhibition of aero
plane flights on August II and Is,
during the first two days of the regis
tering for the homesteads in the Fort
Berthold Indian reservation drawing.
This feature will undoubtedly prove
one of the greatest drawing cards the
Minot people have pulled off to date
and is certainly going to prove one of
the best cards they could have gotten
to attract visitors to the Magic City
to register. The Great Northern and
500 lines are both getting out some
special advertising matter showing
why it is to everyone's advantage to
register at Minot. The Magic City is
making preparations to entertain at
least ten thousand visitors on the first
two or three days of the drawing and
from all appearances to date they will
have that pleasure. The fact that the
commercial club of Minot spared no
expense to obtain the services of one
of the best aviators in the business,
proves that they expect to make these
two days the biggest event in their
history. St. H(ary is well known over
this state as he has given exhibitions
with his fast biplane Sweetheart"
in every portion of the state and to
date has never failed to fill contract.
He is considered one of the brainiest
little birdmen in the business and al
ways does his utmost to please
crowd rather than have one disappoint
ment. The eyes of the whole world are
being directed to the state of North
Dakota as an aviation center. When
one stops to consider that this state
has had more aviation exhibitions
than any other state in the union
and it has the honor of giving sue
cessful aviation exhibition in the
smallest town in the world which ev-
er held one, when the town of Car
rington, village of only 1877 inhabi-
tants, had over 1000 visitors to a
one days exhibition of exclusive aero
plane flights given by Lucky Bob"
St. Henry. This is indeed an enviable
record when one stops to consider
that each and every exhibition has
been a financial success as we'll as
an educational one.
The meet at Minot promises to far
eclipse all other records of st. Henry,
as he has been very anxious to ex-
hibit himself and machine there, as
he has a host of old-time friends in
that city. St. Henry has guaranteed
to make at least three or more flights
and with his record there is no doubt
but what he will fulfill his guarantee.

PORT AU PRINCE, Aug. 3.-Haiti
today Is without a president or or

occupied by two rival revolutionary
parties headed respectively by Gen.
eral Cincinnatius Leconte, former
minister of the interior, and General
Antenor Eirmin, who deserted his
post as Haitien minister to Great
Britain to join the revolt against
President Simon.
Germany and British marines have
been landed to aid the provisional au-
thorities in preserving order. During
the night there were attempts at pill
lage and it was necessary to shoot
several of the looters. Energetic
measures prevented any serious out
break. Following debarkation of ST.
mon late yesterday therewas attempt
to pillage business house of Hakhl.
Duff and company, proprietors of
which are Syrians. The attempt was
put down but force under direction
of committee of public safety ana
four of rioters were shot on the spot.
Some of the soldiers refused to lay
down their arms when ordered to do
SO and there were occasional con-
flicts between soldiers and civilians.
1t Is estimated that forty persons
were killed during the occupation of
the city by revolutionists and subse-
quent rioting.
PORT AU PRINCE, Aug. 3.-At
1O:O0 o'clock last night a band of
armed men made an attack on the GUS
tom house and also attempted to
raid some nearby houses.
The attack was made by a force Of
police and soldiers under command of
Tancrede Auguste member of public
committee. Six of the pillagers
were shot and this put an end to the
outbreak.
At an early hour the American
schooner John Paul, whic hwas lying
alongside dock, was threatened by a |
mob, who believed, probably, that |
some political refugee was aboard. |
The committee of safety dispersed the
mob.
The Chester was nearby, but no ac-
ton on the part of this warship was
required.

Against Or. Wiley Of the Pure Food

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3-Large
sums paid to scientists for their tes
timony in the government pure food
cases were testified today by A. Zap
phone, chief of the department OF
agriculture, before the house commit
tee on expenditures in that depart
ment, which is investigating the
charges against DR.. Wiley of the
bureau of chemistry,
Zapphone said that the law which
Wiley is accused of violating, which
prohibits the payment of more than
50 per day to any scientists In the
service within Washington, does not
apply to experts called by the gov.
ernment in court cases. Many Of tlose
he said, got more than $50 a day.
In one case he approved claim OF
$1,000 for fees and expenses OF
one scientist at trial covering q
week or more.
These large fees are paid by con
tract" the account officer testified.
The charge against Wiley Is that
he employed DR.. Rusby at sum ex-
ceeding the legal limit of SO per day,
but disguised the fact by putting DR..
Rusby upon the salary rolls at $1,000
year. Zappone said he had held
up a recent payment to Rusby at
the written order of Secretary Will
son.
Zappone testified that members OF
the Remsen board had originally been
paid $25 per day for the time which
they actually gave the government
work, but in May, 1909, this was then
changed to $4,000 per year. The
Remsen board had spent about $751;
900 a year, he said. since its organi-
zation.
