TAFT DRAWS PARALLEL BETWEEN ABUSE HEATED
 ON LINCOLN AND SELF
President Makes Address at Dedication of
 Lincoln Farm Memorial

farm where Lincoln was born should come into public possession and should have erected on it a suitable memorial in which to preserve me- mentoes of his personality and bfo- graphies of his life.
 Few men have come into public prominence who came absolutely from the soil as did Abraham Lin coin. It is difficult to realize the lack of comfort and accommodation and difficulties of life that there were in the cabin in which he was born With an ilIiterate and shfftless fafh- CT, and mother though of education and force who died before he reach ed youth, his future was dark indeed
 Tn the stepmother that his father found for him, however, he had a woman of strength of character and education enough to assist him. He says he never received any education except reading and writing and arithmetic to the rule of three. bsr he had access to books and whether lie kept store or acted as a flat boat man on the Mississippi or final ly came to study law, he read the books he had thoroughly and they included the Bible and Shakespeare-
 His evident sympathy for the coI~ ored race, his reused sense of fustfce in their behalf, earnest efforts to se- cure them freedom and equality had their inspirations in the sufferfngs Of his own life."

 The difficulties encountered by Lincoln from moral reform ers," and members of his own party char acterized by the President as s'the lot of any responsible head of a govern ment," were expressions employed by many to the Taft experiences with Rer ublican insurgency
 The President said, in part:
 At the outset, MT. Lincoln en- countered the difficulties that fall to the lot of any responsible head of nment-difficulties which are intensified by the greatness of the issue at hand, but all have the same characteristics as those from over Jealous moral reformers Those who wished slavery abolished felt toward MT. Lincoln greater degree of hat red and contempt during the two years of his administration than even the rebels themselves. He barred his breast to the shafts of critics from this most important element of the Republican party and waited. No American man in public life was so much abused by his friends as Lin- coin.

 See Them

The boys were reaching for the rail in front of Fritz Hartmann's cafe in Wall street, last night. A couple of loaded Schooners were being pushed over the mahogany toward two parched customers when cloud of smoke came between the customers and the white aproned bar keeper.
 What's coming off here?'' de- manded a thirsty individual. Who's smoking Turkish cigarmaroots?"
 The barkeeper was diplomatic. I can hear you but I can't see you,'' he said. Get out of that fog and I'll talk to yoa.' Other customers strolled in They heard a voice say ing, Gimme short one but they couldn't see anything but the fog.

A still alarm was sent in and the auto chem ical crew soon arrived and extinguish- ed the blaze.

BRYAN SCORES
 TAFT FOR NOT ENFORCING LAW
Especial from United Press. ]

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. s-Democrats and progressives in the Senate are urged by William J. Bryan, in the Commoner, today, to block the con- firmation of Justice Harlan's success sor unless President Taft submits a statement of the verbal and the writ ten recommendation upon which the appointment was made"
 Tn double leaded type, Bryan today, demands, through the Commoner, that President Taft go after violators of the Sherman antitrust law with jail sentences. The editorial says that the Flaw deals more tenderly with trust magnates who plunder a nation than with the man who steals a horse And yet no trust magnate has suffered criminal punishment under that law yet.
 ''It would be practically impossible to convict trust magnate criminally under the law with that word req sonable' in it. If the law is worth anything, why Goes the President hesi- tate to use it? Why does he not be- gin criminal prosecutions against the officials If the Standard Oil Trust the Tobacco Trust and the Steel Trust?''

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Evelyn Arthur See, founder of the cult of Absolute life," and convicted of contributing to . the delinquency of Mildred Bridges, a minor. was. today, given an indeterminate sentence of from one to five years in the penitentiary by Judge Honore. Sees attorney was given 30 days to complete an appeal.
 A big crowd gathered in the court room in expectation of an outbreak from See in defense of the "absolute life," the queer practices of the cult that the jury and court decided were highly immoral and perilous to his youthful girl disciples at the Junior Commonwealth, as his Temple" was named. But there was no outbreak. Judge Honore did not ask the prop het'' if he had anything to say and as a. result See had to tell his trou- bles to the reporters after the sen- tence.
 'I am the victim of religious per- secution," said See, after adjourn ment There is nothing in my creed or practice that would furnish any basis for a criminal charge. Like all men who have thought and worked along new lines, I have been hound ed by the public and persecuted by the newspapers"
 Only a few of Sees followers were in court and they made no demon stration.

SAYS SENTIMENT IS. STRONG FOR WILSON.
NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR POPU. LAR WITH DEMOCRATIC MASS
 ES THROUGHOUT COUNTRY.
Observations of a New York Journal ist Who Has Made a Tour of the
 West and South.

Woodrow Wilson adherents should feel gratif1ed at the strength they could muster throughout the country, especially the Middle West, Far West, and South, says J. Maxwell Gordon, a the entire country feeling the political pulse of the nation regarding the pos sible Presidential candidates In 1912.
 Mr. Gordon, who arrived in Bridge port last night, is writing his political impressions for a leading New York daily.
 In an interview with Farmer re- porter, MT. Gordon said: with Wood row Wilson as standard bearer, the liant outlook for political supremacy in the coming Presidential election that it has seen for years. The tre- mendous wave of popular sentiment for Gov. Wilson is bound to carry him into the White House. His popular ity is too pronounced for any doubt to exist on the matter. Like a prairie fire that sweeps over the plains driv- ing everything before it in it's path as it surges on and on, the wave of Gov. Wilson's popularity can not be checked without danger to those who might try to stop it's overwhelming progress.
 .I mean by that, should the men at the political helm of the party en- deavOr to saddle on the Democratic ticket of 1912 an old line politician. it is most certain to meet with dis aster.
 ''This is Democracy's opportunity, and the prospects for electing Dem ocratic President are better now than ever in the history of the Democratic party. With Gov. Wilson the Demo- crats can win, for Mr. Taft will cas- fly be renominated as the Republican candidate and much more easily be de- feated.
 "The West and South are thorough ly lined up for MT. Wilson, and be- lieve the pivotal States which waver from the Republican column to the Democratic column-Missouri, Indiana, New Jersey and New York-will be for Gov. Wilson. While the East is conservative, it looks upon Woodrow Wilson as a fine specimen of leader ship of the best thought in the coun- try.
 About half the Republicans one meets during a days travel readily admit their party's disadvantage in a fight with Gov. Wilson as the oppos- ing candidate, for great many of them will vote the Democratic ticket if he is nominated, believing him the man to be best fitted to give the peo- pie of this republic representative gov ernment.
 ".I have heard Gov. Wilson called a radical. Radical from the Latin means a root. It means going to the root of things. It-means not being content with trimming the branches of tree, but going to the root of it, renewing it's life and refurbishing its luster. We have had radicals before, but hardly a radical like MT. Will son, hardly a radical that is a scholar. a gentleman, an orator of great power and charm, a Governor who, while in office, has made good every principle he advocated when he was on the stump"

Looks Bad For
 The Bosses in
 New York Now
Roosevelt on the Warpath Again With Knife sharpened to Dis embowel c. o. P. State Chair man William A. Barnes
Especial from United Press.)


 New York, Nov. 1Bwana Tumbo is expected to take the warpath again. His knife is sharp for the hide of his old Republican foe, Will liam A. Barnes, Boss" of Albany. who, as a result of Tuesdays elec- ton, has come into fresh power with an assembly overwhelmingly Repub- lican.
 The statement is published, today. that Colonel Roosevelt stated to some of his friends that he intended to have something to say about the organiza- tfon of the assembly and that he in- tends to see to it that the legislative body does not knuck1e to the desires of Barnes and the famous old guard.
 In addition to this publication, the following remarkable epfgramatical statement is credited to Roosevelt:
 Barnes must be retired from pow CT in this state. cut his bowels out, If we must, to do it.''
 Roosevelt isn't talking for publica- tion, today, and there is no confirma- tiOn from him of the above statement but on every hand there are evidences today, of impending war in the poli- ing this city. Murphy and Tammany.
 A look at the election returns shows that, using the same figure of speech. Tammany came within an inch of dis embowelment. Manhattan only was saved to it. Thus encouraged, the enemies of Murphy, Republicans as we'll as anti-Tammanv Democrats are. today, planning new assaults and 1t looks like a bad season for the boss system all around.
 While Roosevelt Republicans are fighting Barnes with the incidental ob- ject of preventing him from assigning ton, Barnes will, he says, start a legislative probe of Tammany's methods, like the famous old Lexow investigation. This, of course, would be fine retaliation for the probe that the present Democratic legislature is using upon Barnes.
 James w.. Osborne. the celebrated prosecutor for the investigation com- mittee, has already brought out some important testimony about conditions in Albany in relation to Barnes.
 Among other plans for the discom- torture of Boss Murphy are: the or ganization of anti Murphy clubs in all districts of the city, the passage of a bill to make the Bronx a separate county. this due to the heavy vote against the Murphy candidates in that borough, the holding up of appropria- tions which might" benefit Murphy leaders in all parts of the state.
 Of course. the big "hunch' is the plan to drag Murphy into the daylight of a courtroom in a Lexow investiga- tion. ;
 There's something doing in high places, and, yes, it looks like squal- ly season for the bosses. sfilss

Number Almost Entirely of Those Recently Register ed-Li1nited Franchise
 Not Attractive

Of the 1900 women registered upon the voting lists of the various districts of the city, the returns of the election of Tuesday show that only 31 took advantage of the opportunity to exer- else their franchises.
 The 31 who did vote, however, are practically all from the group of new women voters made this year. There were 38 voters made this year among the women, practically all of whom came to the board of selectmen to be made voters as a result of the activ- ity of the Equal Franchise League. The 31 who voted with only a few ex- captions came from the 3S made this year. The women say the limited franchise is not especially attractive to them.
 The, votes were divided among the various districts as follows: First, Il; Second, 4; Fifth, 1; Seventh, 1; Eighth, I; Ninth, 2; Tenth, 3; Eleventh, 3; Twelfth. 6.
 There were no women voters in the Third, Fourth and Sixth. (Continued on Page 2.)
