GOVERNOR WILSON FLAWS
REGULARS AND PROGRESSIVES

Morton, Kas., Oct. S.-That the
very men who have been most sue
cessful in building up the trusts are
also the very men who have been
most successful In preventing the or
ganization of labor was the conten-
tion of Governor Woodrow Wilson in
an address here today devoted largely
to what he characterized as 'the per-
varive power of the great interests
which now dominate our develop
ment"
Don't you know" he asked, 'that
one of the objects Of their combina-
tion Is to control the labor market !?
And do you imagine that they have
ever set deliberate plans for giving
the worlxingman anything comparable
in the way of wages to the proportion
of the profits which they taemselves
poci<et2 They do not have to give the
laboring man any more than he can
get in the competition OF the market
And they do not give him any more
AS a. matter Of fact, some of the most
highly productive industries in this
country pay very much lower wages
than the unprotected industries And
some OF the most highly protected in
dustries pay wages that are below
the living scale, at the same time that
they can build new factories out of
their surplus every second year. It is
one Of the grandest pieces of bluff and
humbug that has ever been known In
the history of political deception.
sI want to widen the market for
American labor. I want to see con-
ditions exist In which men viii com
peteA for American labor. want
again to see time come when we
shall realize that the highest priced
labor in the world that what Is pro
duced by brains and intelligence and
skillful touch is a great deal cheaper
than what Is produced by stupidity
and dullness and the whip Of the
master.
American Labor Cheapest.
II tell you this, that American Ia
Dor up to date is the cheapest in the
world. I can prove 1t. American
manufacturers compete in foreign
markets In the sale of goods manufac
tured in those markets, near those
markets, by labor that receive only
one third the remuneration of Ameri-
can labor. Now, what does that mean ?
1t means they can afford to pay Amer
ican workingmen three times as much
and still undersell their competitors in
the foreign markets, and yet the
American workingman is told that the
amount of his wages depends upon the
protective tariff. 1t doesn't. 1t de-
pends upon him. 1t depends upon
what is inside of his thinking box.
And when you once get to a system OF
regulated monopoly. then you get to
a system of controlled labor, don't

BULL MOOSERS OF FLORIDA
RALLY IN PENSACOLA WITH
w. G.. HODGES AS SPEAKER
OTHER FOLLOWERS OF TEDDY
FAILED TO ARRIVE, DUE TO A
FREIGHT WRECK, BUT Mr..
HODGES ENTERTAINED THE
AUDIENCE FOR OVER AN HOUR.

With plenty of thoroughly consistent
black mud, William G. Hodges, of Tai =
lahassee, Rooseveltian candidate for
governor of Florida, last night opened
a recruiting Office for the National
Progressive party in q hurriedly erect
ed rostrum in Garden street parkway
and asked his audience to follow
Roosevelt-and himself-lo Armaged-
don and the battle for the Lord.
Mr.. Hodges was backed up by a
large poster picture of a bull moose
head. 1t had one eye, showed great
towering horns parted In the middle
and was painted in-blue.
And with its one glaring, unexpres-
sionless eye 1t stared upmoved at the
following legend-also done in blue
For Only The Working People"
The first mass meeting OF the new
party was an unfortunate function all
around, not only In that Hodges failed
to arouse any enthusiasm, but that F..
F. Bingham, chairman of the meeting
and member of the board of bond
trustees, was forced In his introduc-
tory remarks to read the following
telegram:

Mr.. Anderson, national commit
teeman living in Jacksonville, and Ed
ward R Gunby, nominee for congress-
man -at-large and a resident Of Tam
pa, were both on the passenger train
scheduled to arrive here at 4:10 p. m
The hope that they would get here at
$40 was dissipated by a later tele-
gram to the effect they could not get
here until 10:40 O'Clock. The gather
ing preferred not to wait and dis
persed at s:25, after listening to a
short concert at the rostrum by the
Pensacola concert band.
The wreck, according TO the tele-
grams, did not occur at Armageddon
but at a point south OF Montgomery
near Letohatchie.

trail today for other Florida points

working people will not have an op-

CORRECTNESS OF HIS STATE

Declaring that the curb grade in
front of the Keyser building is not
correct as the board Of bond trustees
would have it appear, City Engineer
l.. Earle Thornton yesterday afternoon
made a spicy reply to the members ~
the board in which he takes occasion
to state that the members of the
board mean well but have been mis-
informed. The city engineer says he
is willing to go before any competent
Judge and prove his assertions. His
statement follows:

Editor Pensacola Journal.
In reference to the matter Of grades
on Palafox street, between Garden
and Romano streets. feel called upon
to answer the letter of the board Of
bond trustees, addressed "To the Pub
lic," and published In The Journal of
this (Tuesday) morning, which.
probably is, as you state, in answer to
the interview on the subject publish
ed in The Journal of Monday morn
ing.
1 do not care nor intend to enter
into a long newspaper controversy
full of technical terms which would
not interest but only bore the public,
but I do intend, if possible. to make
my position in the matter clearly un-
derstood.
In the interview published in The
Journal Monday / purposely avoided
saying whether or not l thought the
curb In front Of the Keyser building
was laid to the correct grade, but as
the board OF bond trustees In their
letter above referred to state very
positively that the curb is correct
thus compelling the inference that the
grade az I ser Il for the building is
fncnrrerts ara fftvsd TO state most
ernphatically that such Is not ths
CAN PROVE ASSERTIONS.
I am prepared to go before any com
petent and disinterested judge and
prove the correctness of this assertion
at any time.
/ regret exceedingly to have to thus
publicly contradict the statement OF
the board of bond trustees, holding
as / do. the highest regard for them
individually, as / feel that they are al
somewhat of a disadvantage In this
matter. Their letter above referred to
repIete as it is with figures of tech
nical exactness, bears all the ear
marks of having been dictated by their
engineer, while I, having been city en-
gineer for the past six years, have
what knowledge possess on the sub
ject at first hand.
I admire the dignified and consis-
tent stand the board Of bond trustees
have taken In this matter and regret
that I cannot say as much for the ad-
vice they are getting.
Respectfully,
