Planks In Roosevelt's Platform
Speech at Columbus, Feb. q

We will protect the rights of the
wealthy man, but we maintain that
he holds his wealth subject to the
right of the community to regulate
his business as the public welfare re-
quires.f
Initiative. Referendum and Recall
| believe in the initiative and ref
erendum, which should be used not
to destroy representative govern
ment but to correct it whenever it
becomes misrepresentation. AS to
the recall, | do not believe there is
any great necessity for it as regards
short-term elective officers. | be-
lieve it should be generally provided
but with such restrictions as will
make it available only when there is
a widespread and genuine public
opinion among a majority of the
voters.
Recall OF Judges
| do not believe in adopting the
recall (of Judges) save as last re-
sort when it has become clearly evil
dent that no other course will
achieve the desired result. But Ell
Their the recall will have to be adopt
ed or else it will have to be made
very much easier than it is now to
get rid, not merely of bad Judge.
but a judge who, however virtuous
has grown so out of touch with So

bench. 1t is nonsense to say i'm
parchment meets the difficulty. In
actual practice we have found that
impeachment does not work. When
a judge decides a constitutional
question, when he decides what the
people as whole can or cannot do.

recall the decision if they think it

Roosevelt at Columbus, Feb. q.
Many eminent lawyers believe and
sometimes assert that the American
people are not fitted for popular gov

it as a complete negation of our

WORKING HARD
FOR ROOSEVELT
State Wide Club To Help
Former President To Be
Organized
SAY THE COLONEL WILL ACCEPT
La FolIette's Chances. May Be
Much Better In Four
Years
SAY THE COLONEL WILL ACCEPT

Minnesota will cast its vote for
Theodore Roosevelt at the National
Republican convention if those in
charge of the present movement are
successful.
A united, organized effort to
the end has been inaugerated and in
a couple of weeks state wide Roose-
welt club will be organized. A COM
mittee consisting of one man from
each congressional district has been
appointed and these men will issue
the call for the meeting at which
the Roosevelt club will be perfected.
Senator Frank Clague off. Redwood
is the member for the Seventh.
1t is confidently asserted in Mime
apolis and st. Paul that not only will
Roosevelt accept the nomination but
also that he will not object to siren
uous work in his behalf.
William Rich, an intimate of SEN
ator Moses E. Clapp's is openly
espousing the cause of Colonel
Roosevelt although it is known that
Clapp has been bitter against Roose-
welt for years and is still cllnglng to
the La Toilette idea.
The country may be surprised to
learn that Taft is far from being a
popular idol in the cities of Mime
sofa, He is not viewed there with
the bitterness that characterizes the
attitude of the rural population but
they call him unfortunate" and
look upon Roosevelt as the "solu-
ton" At present La Toilette would
find comparatively few supporters In
the cities though it is not impossible
he may be much stronger there IN
1916.
There is a belief, amounting to a
conviction, among the politicians of
Minnesota that La Toilette cannot
be nominated this year. And the
Roosevelt men are accusing the La
Toilette men of actually working
for Taft and the La Toilette men
reply with similar charge against
the Roosevelt men. Between the
two there seems a possibility If not a
probability, that Taft may land.
Few people question the position
Minnesota will take in the national
convention. 1t is considered certain
that Minnesota's vote will go to
Roosevelt. Should he eliminate him.
self from the field the North Stars
delegation might be divided. If not
divided Taft would get it.

Taft at New York, Feb. II.
There are those who do not believe
that all the people are fitted for
popular government. The fact is,
we know they are not. Some of us
dare not say so, but | do. We are
called upon now, we of the bar, to
say whether we are going to pro-
tect the institution of the judiciary,
and continue it Independent Of the
m ajority. or of all the people.

HEAVY RECEIPTS
 DEPRESS MARKET
Wheat Closes Nearly a Cent Lower-Gilt Edge Cana
 dian Weather

Chicago, September 12.-Heavy receipts southwest. west and northwest today pressed the wheat market downward. Closing prices were nervous or ssG1hGssc, net lower. Corn finished at decline of AQ?c to 219c, oats unchanged to 9se down. an dpiovisions less expensive by 5a221sc.
 Total primary arrivals of wheat for the day reached nearly twice the total for the corresponding day of year ago.
 In the southwest a large proportion Of the receipts had to be carried over till Friday being far In excess of the demand. The fact that export business was shut off on account of prohibiting ocean freight rates as presented on paper caused holders to become discouraged. Higher opening figures, due to an advance ~ Liverpool. were promptly taken advantage of and speculative selling grew general.
 Gilt edged harvest weather in Canada also counted against the wheat bulls as did big thresh,ng returns this side of the line. Weakness of corn also turned out to be a material factor IF depressing prices. December ranged from 90G9lAc with last sales 90ssc, or fall of 16aSsc compared with last night Corn saged to nearly the low point of the season for late futures. The nearness of fresh supplies from the new crop was the reason for break of 2d3c in cash prices and indirectly affected later deferred op tions. December ranged between 52Adp 529sc closing unsettled lsc net down at 51bse. Cash grades over the sales counter were weak No. yellow was quoted at 7sd75c
 Good buying by cash houses held oats steady despite the heavy tone of other cereals Limits touched for December were 32ls@323sc, with the close down a shade at 21sc. Selling credited to pack CTS and outside longs carried provisions down. January pork led the decline with a net loss of 321ac on the day.

COTTON CLOSESAT
 GAIN OF 22 POINTS.
Further Sharp Advance Noted-Opening Firm.
 Better Cables

New York, September 12.-There was further sharp advance in the cotton mar ket today and while realizing caused a reaction of several points in the late trad ing, the close was steady at net gain of some r to % points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 10 to 12 points on better cables than due, reports that hedge selling was less active in Liverpool and continuation or yesterdays late buying, which seemed to come chiefly from up town or Wall street sources further advance of or points attracted heavy realizing and prices eased off or points from the best dur ing the middle of the morning. Spot houses were moderate sellers. but there was good buying of a scale down, and the market soon went up again on reports that the gulf storm was gaining in intensi- ty and was extending It's influence pretty generally over the southern part of the eastern belt.
 The advance soon carried prices through the early high point, and around midday the buying became still more active on the detailed weather reports showing very hlgn temperatures III ieAsi9, anu PiiN"'N predictions that the lower temperatures noted north of the belt would work east ward without relieving the southwest, There were also numerous private reports of crop deterioration from the eastern belt and the market during the early ait ernoon sold 27 to 30 points net higher, with January contracts touching n.b2e, or fully 1ac above the tow level of yes terday morning. Realizing was active during the last hour, while there was re- newed selling by some of the local trade interests and the market eased off about 10 points from the best.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'s Letter

New York, September 12.-(Special0 From Liverpool we hear that parties supposed to represent the heavy sell lers here of yesterday afternoon were large buyers in that market, causing the advance above our close. Euro pean spinners also bought. as they did not like the ginners report and the deterioration which would Indicate a lower government bureau report In De- tober than they expected.
 It is well known that the spinners have been waiting to buy on a decline at a time when they have q good profit able business. If they become satis- fled that there is good reason to be- lieve that the crop has gone backward they may at any moment buy freely.
 The market has had an advancing tendency all day, partly on covering and partly on new buying, based on these deterioration reports. We see no reason to change our ideas, that with good trade and a moderate crop cotton Is in a good position.
 Liverpool is due to come about to 6 points higher in the morning.

MONEY LEAVES
 STOCKSFAR BEHIND Call Loans Advance to 51z Per Cent-Receiver for
 Motors Company

New York, September 12-The course of the stock market today like that Of the preceding day, was controlled almost ex- clusively by monetary considerations. Caii loans opened at 4% per cent and later ad- vanced to yesterdays and the years hlsh rate of 51a per cent, while stocks slumped
 In the last hour, when rates reiaNeo' a large part of the early loss was recoV- cred. Some slight net gains were es- tablished in fact but the undertone or the list was somewhat faltering. The drain of money to the sub-treasury and inner points continued and banks in New York city called loans in very generally. To date, home institutions have lost over s5,00o.O which threatens a large deficit in next Saturdays reserves. Trading was less than Wednesday, but fair movement in some of the high priced favorites was noticed There was a belated demand for Colorado Fuel, which rose smartly in the final dealings on fairly large trans actions. One of the developments was the institution of receivership proceed ings against the United States Motors company, whose securities have suffered recently.
 The news occasioned little surprise Lon don's average for our stocks was de- csvely higher than that recorded at the opening here Support of our issues abroad, however was attributed to profess sional interests with intimate New York connections. The statement of the Bank of England received late in the day was again a negligible document, while that of the Bank of France again dealt with large figures. including a decrease of $17,- O00,000 in circulation and increase of oyer S7000, GOO in discounts.
 The bond market was quiet with weak ness pronounced in some of the converti- ble issues.
 Total sales, par value, $1, ,620, ,000. United States government bonds on call were un- changed.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, September H,-Cotton fu- tues opened steady at an advance of to II points on good cables. The market was influenced bullishly by the storm warning received for the gulf coast. Shorts coV- cred on this fear. Longs added to their lines.
 Continued rains in the eastern delta or Georgia and Alabama and lack of rain in the west were regarded as being very ,nfayorable Private cables were also bulIish in their tenor. These stated that the opinion of many of the large traders in the Liverpool market was that present prices are safe. With the end of the first half hour of business prices were i6 to 12 points higher.
 A strong undertone was noticed throughout the forenoon session. It was reported spot houses were selling. This had no effect on prices. The demand was greater than the supply at all times and seemed to be about equally divided be- tween the two accounts. There was very little profit taking on the oulges even by the bull scalping element At noon the favorite months were 27 to 29 points aboye yesterdays final quotations.
 After midday the marget was dull and without feature. At D. m. prices were 20 to P points above last nights last quo tations.
