POLITICS AT WHITE HEAT
COLONEL KEEPS
RAPPINC TAFT
Roosevelt Talks to Large Au
dienCe at Columbus.

Columbus, o., May 1S.-"President
Taft's theory of constitutional gov
ernment." said Colonel Roosevelt here,
rs that 1t is government admins
tered by Messrs. Lorimer, Guggen-
helm, Barnes, Gallinger and their like,
in defiance of the will of the people;
that it is a government under which
the people are defrauded Of their
rights by these men,
The former president said that Mr..
Taft was mistaken in asserting that
the success of the cause for which he
stands now seems assured. The Chi
cago convention, he continued, will
not be controlled by fraud or force"
These statements were made by
Colonel Roosevelt in his speech at
Memorial hall. The building was
stormed by crowd of thousands,
which filled it to its capacity and
streamed out into the street. Before
going to the hall Colonel Roosevelt
made an address at Olentangy park.
During the day he travelled across
Southeastern Ohio.
Colonel Roosevelt began his address
by saying he should receive the sup
port of every Ohio Republican who
wished to vote at the primaries for a
progressive.
Reason for Entering Fight.
81 came into this fight" he said,
"only because it had become evident
that unless ! did so there was not the
slightest chance of any progressive
winning the Republican nomination.
The reactionaries recognize this clear
ly. AS matter of fact they are not
primarily for Mr. Taft at all. Every
Republican in Ohio who votes for any
man except myself is Strengthening
the reactionary cause. ....
Mr.. Taft said he believed he would
win the nomination because he be-
lieved the Chicago convention will be
organized by the friends of constitu-
tiGnal government. ask you to re-
member just who these friends of
SUNti are upOu
whom Mr.. Taft relies. They are his
campaign manager. Mr.. Mckinley,
Mr.. Lorimer from Illinois, Mr.. Pen
rose from Pennsylvania, Messrs. Gug-
genheim and Evans from Colorado,
Mr.. Gallinger from New Hampshire,
Mr.. Barnes from New York and Mr..
Heating from Indiana. So | could go
on indefinitely.
when Mr. Taft says that the Chi
cago convention will be controlled by
the friends of constitutional govern
ment he means that it will be con-
trolled by men such as Messrs. Lori
mer, Barnes and Penrose and by the
delegates franduiently seated from
states like Washington, where they
would be ayowedly seated, not be-
cause they represent the people, but
because they do not represent the
people. Mr.. Taft is mistaken. The
Chicago convention will not be con-
trolled by fraud and force in this man.
ner. The attempt so to control it will
be unsuccessful and If successful it
would merely mean the ruin Of the
Republican party"

city water department., on a charge
of erasing the flag. The hearing was
set for that afternoon, but was con,

REPUDIATED
Elma Grange Denounces Un-
authorized Sympathy With
the Trouble Makers

At the regular meeting of Elma
Grange No. 26 last Saturday night,
the matter of the resolutions drawn
up by John Holman, Edward Clemont,
and ]. L. Divine, was brought up for
consideration. The Grange had bas-
ket supper on Saturday night, and
some members wanted action on the
matter delayed, but James Shoemak-
er moved that the matter be settled
finally on Saturday night, and his mo-
ton carried
Then it was that A. f. Rued arose
and made a motion that the Grange
go on record and to condemn the ac-
ton of the committee who drew up
the resolutions commencing the l. w.
w. and branding the mill owners at
the Harbor as parasites and exploit
ers of labor, to repudiate the sense of
the resolutions, and to send notice of
the action of the grange to all the
papers and commercial bodies in the
county. This motion, made by Mr.
Rued, found a second in James Shoe
maker, and c. c. Rasmussen ably
esponsed it in the meeting. AS a re-
suit the motion was put to vote
and the grange went on record as
repudiating the resolutions that were
printed broadcast and that did so
much damage to this section
On Wednesday James Shoemaker
said that in his opinion more harm
had been done to this community by
the printing of the resolutions than
can be repaired in two years, and he
believes that the grange will have to
be extremely cautious in the future
so that the harm already done can
be repaired

The situation at Grays Harbor is
somewhat complicated, owing to the
fact that the Aberdeen and Grays
Harbor unions are out on a strike at

a week after the |. w. w. struck and
allied themselves to that movement 70
a certain extent. Since then the

to certain extent, with the !. w.
w., and will be asked to choose be-
tween the Industrial Workers and the
LongshOremen.
Want Wages Increased.
The officers of the Pacific district
will visit Grays Harbor Monday. The
officers object to the present scale Of
wages at Grays Harbor They say
the men there get 80 cents an hour
straight time, or $4 for eight hours,
while so cents an hour straight time
and IS cents an hour for overtime is
paid the lumber-handlers in Tacoma
and other cities on the coast.

will strike if necessary said Presi-

RAILROADS ACTIVE

Officials Take Option on Wy

MONTESANO. May 12.-That Off
cials of the Oregon Washington and
of the Chicago, Milwaukee G. Puget
Sound Railway companies have taken
site on the Wynoochie river, which
site will be utilized for feeding lines
in Chehalis county, is the opinion of
prominent men of this section. The
opinion was given a short time ago
and the activity of the two roads in
desiring an entrance to MonteSano. is
excellent proof that the road to the
big corporations have their eye on a
road to the peninsula through Ma.
son county.
Officials of the OregonW Washington
when they asked for franchise to
reach Montesano, said that they had
in mind connecting with the logging
road Of the Grays Harbor CONNER
cial company. This line taps a fine
body of timber between the Wynooch
lie and Wishkah rivers, while the log
ging road of the Simpson Logging
company, having it's headquarters in
Mason county, is headed towards tn.
Wynoochie river and the ultimate
result will be fusion of the lines
say timbermen, with one Of the above
transcontinental companies in control
thus opening up the timber and agri
cultural country in the fertile valleys
The estimated water power in the
Wynoochie is said to be great and its
value has been placed at $25O,0OO

RELIGIOUS SERVICES
LARGELY ATTENDED

Rev. Leroy, pastor of the

very large congregation last Sun.
day. There being no preaching
service at the Baptist church many
members OF that congregation were
present which helped to fill the house
almost to overhowing. A very
noticeable feature of the large attend
ance was the presence of so many
young men of the town. Never
before in the history of Pocahontas
have the young men and boys Of
the town manifested the interest in
religious work that they have for
the last few weeks or months.
Rev. Leroy preached a sermon
appropriate to the day and occasion
and the large congregation gave
him close attention throughout.
The evening service was good,
but the crowd not so large as it was
