Democratic Nominee for Congress De-
cIarcs His Position On the Tariff.
In his opening speech. at Santa Fe.
N. M. Hon. II. b. Ferguson, Demo
cratic nominee for Congress. stated
clearly his position ON the tariff and
other matters of vital Importance to
the people OF New Mexico. Among
other things. Mr.. Ferguson said:

In this, do pot consider that ! am

accord with such Democratic leaders

the vast majority of the Democratic
House of Representatives: in accord
with our great Democratic candidate,
Woodrow Wilson. who lately stated at
St Paul that so-called free trade Is
a harmless bogie. because OF this
great and expensive government
which we must maintain by taxation
levied or imports. One thousand mil
lion dollars every year must be raised
by taxation In the shape of the tariff,
to run our government: and this vast
sum is certain to be increased stead
lily In proportion as we grow as ma
tion and develop as world power.
II is the settled policy of our govern
ment to raise this enormous revenue
by a tariff on goods that come from
foreign nations into the United states.
So Woodrow Wilson says there is no
room for free trade. So Champ Clark
and Underwood said. when attacked
for placing a tariff on wool, that
while we will reduce the tariff enough
to kill the trusts and prevent monop-
oily, we are charged with the duty also,
as the majority party. responsible for
the running of the government. to

Noted Scientists of the Whole
Country Deeply Interested in
Proposed Experiment.
DOOMED MANS COUNSEL
WOULD GIVE UP OPTICS
Dr.. R. V. Tivnen, World Famous
OCuIiSt, Does Not Believe
Operation Possible. (

Scientists of a number of the biggest
cities in the country expressed keen
interest today in the proposed operation
in which the eyes of the condemned
wife slayer, Robert L. Clay, will be
used to restore the sight Of John Cash
in. the blind Atlanta paper seller.
Noted specialists throughout the
country are interested in the expert
ment. The operation admittedly is UNI
known to science, but the thought is ex-
pressed even by the most skeptical of
the ocuhsts who have read the blind
mans proposal that science has not
reached it's limits and the success of
the operation may not be impossible
Previous experiments have proved
the optic nerve can not be regenerated,
once death has supervened. and the
proposal Is that the cornea Of Clay's
eyes be supplied Cashin Immediately
after the physicians at the execution OF
the wife slayer shall have pronounced
him dead.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-08-15

"Clays eyes would, Of course, be of
no use to him, should he hang. l don t
think he will ever hang, but certainly If
the sentence is executed l would advise
that if Cashin believes that his sight
can be restored by their use, that the
eyes be given for that purpose. l can
imagine nothing that a man would
rather do before leaving the world
than bestow his power of sight on some
fellow being deprived of vision" said
the lawyer.
If it is decided by the specialists, who
have the operation under consideration,
that the optic nerves are serviceable
enough to permit of possible success IN
the operation, the eyes of Clay will be
asked for, Under Georgia custom the
body of a man who meets death on the
gallows is turned over to his relatives.
They finally will decide whether or not
the eyes be given Cashin.
Mr. Smith says he knows OF no OBJ
lection that would be raised by Clay's
kin. He did not speak for the family
however.

That Esprit Of Lord
Causes Strange Cures
Colquitt County Man Is Acquitted
of Practicing Medicine and

jury in the city court of Colquitt

since which time he had known no
peace of body or mind except when he
was healing "all manner of diseases,
he was acquitted Of charge Of prac-
ticing medicine and the science of Os-
teopathy without a license. But 1t took
the combined testimony of Bennett and
more than a score of witnesses-all
leading citizens of the county-to clear
him These witnesses testified that
asthma disappeared with the touch Of
the hand, rheumatism was cured as BY
magic, cancers of long standing began
to heal under his wonderful treatment
and blindness that had baffled skilled
specialists was wiped away by his
touch And all said that the cures were
wrought without charge.
Bennett said that he sought to flee
from this strange spirit, but unrest
beset him and his only relief came
through healing the afflicted.
According to the testimony, Ben
nett has been practicing his art of
healing in the western part of the coun-
ty. The state unsuccessfully attempted
to prove that he had carried medicine
and in some cases used it, while In
others he had practiced the science of
osteopathy, receiving money for his
