NOT DICTATOR
TO IOWA VOTERS
Senator Kenyon Says It Is Not His
Business and Would Hate to
See Fight in the
Party.

sponse to the request for one, he said
as to his attitude toward the presl-
dent:
"There is no question concerning
my attitude toward President Taft. |
am heartily in favor of his renomina-
ton. had hoped that he might be ac.
corded a denomination without con-
test. 1t is apparent that such con-
test can result only in weakening the
party at the polls.
"You ask me as to Iowa sentiment
on this subject. / hold no brief to
speak for the republicans Of Iowa on
this question. They are accustomed to
| take care of matters Of this kind in

from any source. My own judgment

Iowa Man Looks Exactly Like James
SchooIcraft Sherman and Has
Strange Experiences in
Washington.
FIT SAVED FROM ARREST
Policeman Was About to Take Him
to Station House But Let
Him Go, Thinking Him
Sherman.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.--"This is a
pretty nice town. but I'm never going
to come back until Jim Sherman
ceases to be vice-president."
This is the private opinion of Will
liam P. Chambers, of Corwith, Iowa,
publicly expressed after day OF
nerve racking experiences in the
course of which he was mistaken for
Sunny JIM by about two out OF
three persons who spoke to him.
Chambers arrived in Washington
after a motor trip from his home town
and started in to see the sights. Leav-
ing his hotel he strolled down Penn
sylvania avenue about noon and al
most Immediately met tall individual
in frock coat and silk hat who in
quired:
"Ah, Mr.. Vice President. aren't you
little late for the session today?"
Mr.. Chambers thought 1t a little
strange that anyone In Washington
should know that he was vice presi-
dent of the Farmers and Merchants
Bank, at Britt, Iowa, but he did not
protest.
A little later he wandered up to the
capitol to see the two senator's from
4 his native state, but, after spending
strenuous half hour, answering ques
tons addressed to him by persons
Il who niistook him for the presiding OF
Il ficer of the senate, he left In disgust

lest the two Dromios should get mix

statement he was invited to luncf

DROWN BATHERs
TO GET JEWELRY
Swimming In India is Dangerous
With Gang Of Human Sharks
In Waiting.

DELHI, Aug. 3.-More than twenty
murders within the past few months
are attributed by the police here to
gang, one of whose members has al
ready been arrested and for the rest
of them the locality is being ransack-
ed.
The murderers' custom was to hide
in the river Jumna and to pull below
the surface, drown and rob bathers
wearing gold and silver ornaments
so popular among the Hindoos. For a
long time mysterious drownings have
been common in the Jumna. Many of
the corpses have never been recov-
cred and those which have finally
fioated ashore or have been fished
from the stream, have Invariably
been stripped of jewelry.
In one day, recently, Ave boys dis
appeared while swimming in the river
and day or two later Marwari
woman with particularly heavy gold
necklet, bracelets and anklets was
suddenly caught by someone below the
surface of the water and nearly met
similar fate. It happened. however,
that two other bathers were close by
and when she screamed, both OF
them swan to the rescue and not
only saved the woman but caught a
Mohamedan who was trying to drown
her. Belief that an organized gang
was engaged in the business was sus-
pected from the first on account o.
the large number Of drownings and
later the prisoner is said to have made
a confession, on the strength of which
| the police are conducting their pres
| ent search.

allusion to the episode that hand
shake had COO New Mexico Statehood.
Friendship With DoIliver.
The friendship between Senator Dol
liver and Senator Elkins' was strong.
They were both on the Interstate Com
merce Committee, and while their views
often confiicted. their Personal rela-
ations were extremely cordial. Often
times the two men might be seen in con-
sutation In Senator Elkins' office. One
thing that drew them together was that
Senator Dolliyer was a West Virginian
by birth, and he loved to go to
"Steve's" office and talk about the old
days when he was boy in the noun
tains of West Virginia.
The feeling tribute Dolliver paid to
Senator Elkins when the rate bill was
under discussion in the last session
is we'll remembered. 1t is finely Illus
trative of the sentiment widely enter
tanned for the dead Senator among his
colleagues without respect to any diff
ference of views they might have en-
tertained for him.
Senator Elkins was one of the largest
employers OF men in the Senate. And
It is said of him that the same friendly
relations that were so marked with re-
spect to his service in the Senate were
conspicuous In his relations with his
men.

BRYAN
AND THE TARIFF

Wm. j. Bryan has dono well in de-
nouncing the democratic mis-leaders
in Congress who only want to reduce
the iniquitous wool tariff fifty per Ct,
instead of wiping it out. If a duty on
wool or any other article is desirable
nj all then it cannot be made too high.
In that case the Democratic party has
no excuse for existence. If the tariff
is desirable then fifty per cent duty
is Just as ineEcusable as one of hun
dred per cent. The democratic Con-
gressman who has not yet lelrned that
free trade is eXpedient as well as
right, does not know enough to be
trusted. Voters who want protection,
can get what they want from the Re
publican party. Voters who want
free trade will lose nothing by refusing
support i'm the future to q party too
cowardly to stand for that principle
in all things A party that will make
concessions to protectionists on the
wool question cannot be trusted TO re-
frain from doing so on other articles.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1911-06-16
SOUNDS WARNING TO
DEMOCRACY
TGreenville Democrat. ]

While the Democratic party IN the
House of Congress has not placed wool
on the free list on account of eXpedien-
cy to raise revenue, yet nothing is
more necessary for the maintenance of
the poor consumer than cheap warm
clothing. The Democratic policy has
always been to remove the tariff from
the necessaires Of life and we can not
surrender this policy to expediency.
When the Republican party voted for
Reciprocity with Canada to furnish
cheaper supplies on many uecessaries
of life il practically surrendered its
protective tariff system and when
the Democratic party advocates tariff
on necessaries it practically sur
renders its policy of protection for
revenue only. The principal differ
ence between the two great parties has
been tho tariff as protective system
aud the retention of a tariff on wool
hastens our party into control and
management of the vested interests.
The Democratic party has always been
the party of the people and if it is to
survive it must keep its household
clean from the filth and corruption of
plutocracy. We must not retrOgade,
we must advance. We must keep our
standards in harmony with the Demo-
cratic platform.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1911-06-16
AND THIS FROM A PRO-
lection ORGANl

Shake yourself man, to make sure
you are awake. The following IS from
that old dyed in the wool Republican
protection organ, tho Toledo Blade,
that scarcely knows the war Is over
1t will stand reading a couple of times
Under the caption, Tainted Compa-
NY" IL says:
"At the public hearings upon the
Canadian reciprocity bill held by tho
Senate Finance Committee, IL was
brought out that the officers of the Ma
tlonal Grange, lighting the measure,
had received offers of financial aid
from the wooden trust, the paper trust
and the lumber trust No evidence
was forthcoming that this aid had
been accepted. 1t would have been a
strange merging of interests and, for
the honor OF the Grange, il is to be
hoped that il declined to onter the Goa
lition.
"Two of these trusts directly affect
the pocket books Of the farmer. IL
has been shown that the wool pro-
ducers receive less for their wool
to-day than they did when foreign
competition was possible, when a
greater number of sheep were
raised ana When OE1AAldAy WCaA
ing apparel was cheaper. The I'M
ference is plain. The trust has
reaped the benefits, the producers
none. The lumber trust has lived by
and upon the farmers. The back
bone of its prosperity is the
constant need the agriculturalist has
for lumber. The farmer who can feel
the lcast sympathy for that group Of
grasping corporations could feel kind
ly toward wild beasts which prey upon
his cattle. 1t was the lumber trust
which raised the 500, 600 for the bribed
election of Senator Lorimer. The
trust continues impudently active in
maintaining the Senator in Washing
ton and such other members of the
Senate who dance as the trust liddles.
"The National Grange must take
pains 20 prove that it has not made
bedfellow for expediency's sake. The
suspicion is abroad and it will be
strange, indeed, if the officers are not
called upon sharply by the rank and
file for unequivocal explanation.
