Gov. Hadley, OF Missouri. who was
one Of RooseveIts managers at the Re
publican national convention. and who
had charge OF the contest made by
Roosevelt delegates, has declined to
follow the Third Term candidate out
of the Republican party. and has de-
clared that he will support President
Taft. In a speech at Jefferson City.
Mo-. he said;s

have thought there was a greater In.
terest to be subserved by joining In
the organization Of a new party and
the nomination of another State tick

are simply doing that which tends to
insure Democratic success. And ]
hone that they will come back to the
party which has stood for decency;
that has stood for sane and effective
progress In the conduct Of public al
fairs"
After appealing to Republicans to
support the Republican nominees.
Gov. Hadley pointed out In his speech
that the Democrats were pledged to
the same kind Of tariff legislation as
they gave to the country after the
Democratic victory Of 1892. He said
that no Republican could associate
himself with those whose efforts tend.
ed to insure Democratic success.

declaring that he sees no hope for the
success of the Third Term party, and
10 convinced that the cause of real re-
form can be best promoted by con-
tinuing the Republican party In power.
The article particularly emphasizes
the danger OF bringing about adverse
business conditions through a change
In administration. and points out the
steady advance which has been made
under Republican policies. It is a
most significant editorial. and a. the
Gazette Is the most important paper In
Montana, It's influence upon the cleo
tion can hardly be measured. 1t is only
another one OF the innumerable signs
that the Third Term party has col
lapsed. that the country realizes the

Professor Wilsonl.s IS telling the far
mers over and ,oyep again, that they
have never been ipUntected--that they
do not need " protection. Then In this
connection the,tprofessor adds: But

deal Of what you cot. but do not pro-
duce yourself, including meats. bears

interesting rSult that you are paying

ana getting nothing, or equivalent to
nothing. so Tar as the tariff is con-
cerned. Now that hasn't just begun
to be true. lt:hastnlways been true"
II Is not true. The protective tarif
docs benefit the farmers. American
farmers know tfs fact, and by their
votes have hefIed to maintain the
Iolicy of protection. Without their
votes the party Of protection could
not have won/a u single presidential
election in theilast forty years. Have
the farmers been mistaken through
all these yearsr They have not Has
protection been,of no value TO them'
II certainly has.
All history aud all fact dispute the
academic free trade contention that
the farmer has no share In the bene.
fits Of protection. In every period OF
Industrial depression, resulting from
the destruction OF the tariff duties be-
low the protective point, the farmers
Of this country have been heavy
losers, because Of diminished demand
and lower prices for their products.
In the most recent period of Demo
cratic free trade legislhtion-lS9 49,
the farmers of the United States los Z
fully FIVE billion dollars In reducef
prices OF farm products. and dimins-
ished values OF farm property. In
every period OF restored protection
the farmers have reaped this benefits
OF a greater demand and increased
prices. There has been no, exception
TO the rule Of prosperity for, Americsas
farmers, when American labor Is fuhL
employed
Here are some proofsgof that fact
In a recent statement by Senators
Smoot printed in tlie, Congressional
Record OF August 26, 1912. II is shown
that In December, 1896. after two
years of free trade tariff revision un
der the Wilson law'of 1894. the price
OF corn was tweBty-three cents a
bushel, while IN December, 1911, after
fourteen years OF restored protection.
the price OF corn was sixty-nine cents
a bushel; or an advance over 1896 or
200 per cent.
Using 1896 as the basis OF com,
parlson with December. 1911. ID n
found that under protective tarf0:
Corn advanced 200 per cent.
| Wheat advanced 81 per cent. n
Cotton advanced 2s per cent.
Oats advanced 1866 per cent. "a
Rye advanced 1877 per cent.

 The portrait now hangs in the Lee home, beside that of Mrs. Lees great grandmother, 8 portrait painted by Peele in Philadelphia more than one hundred years ago. Mrs. Bairds work shows the finer points used by . finished artist and compares most favorably to that of the great Peela, whose works are known among those of the most famous American artists.
 The portrat of Mrs. Jones was re- produced in Gil from Deguerotpye made at the time she was but twenty years of age, more than siXty-five years ago. It is of three quarter length and shows the then popular lady ill a creation of pale yellow silk which was added to effectively with e.Jo oyr1 portrait is 30 by Al inches and the finish is of most delicate tint. The relatives of Mrs. Jones are highly pleased with the work which has just been delivered to them by Mrs. Baird. They declare that it excels in beauty and artistic touch many of the famous paintings of famous men and women displayed in the larger art galleries in this country.
 Mrs. Baird has been in the city for several weeks a guest at the home of Mrs. J. w. Adams. She originally intended to remain here but few weeks,- but when her ability as an artist became known she was in- duced to remain here and make the portrait for the Lee family. Mrs Baird is former Pine Bluff girl and her first art lesson here when a mere child at the Annunciatior Academy. She now lives in Nash vile, Tenn.
 Mrs. Baird will leave this week for Little Rock, where she will be the guest of Mrs. Charles Mckee and other relatives and friends.
