U. S. BURDENED WITH
HIGH PRICES
WOODROW WILSON CITES HIGH COST Of
MEAT AS EXAMPLE IN DISCUSSING
TARIFF IN SPEECH AT SYRACUSE.

Syracuse, n Y, Sept, 12.-Governo,
Woodrow Wilson discussed the tariff
Eele today at the state fair, before
the largest crowd that has yet gather
ed to hear him in his presidential
campaign.
1--WE have the right to look to oul
government" he said, mot to support
us, but to remove the obstacles tC
our individual self support.
"They say prices have risen all over
the world. Yes, they have And they
have risen faster and higher in tariff
countries than in low tariff countries
There, again Intellectual gifts stand in
the way of the assertion, because we
don't have very much brains to read
statistics, and statistics are open to
every man which show that the Unit
ed States is burdened with the
cost of high living as no other coun-
try in the world is and there must
be something special in the U. S.
which makes it true"
Take the price of meat for in
stance. 1t has gone up thirty and
forty per cent per pound in London
markets.
THE arguments for protection,
when there is domestic competition
is different from the argument for
protection where there is no domestic
competition. The wall of the tariff
enables certain gentlemen to get be-
hind it and say: We are all of us
secure-why cut one another's
throats-why not stand together?' and
they did with reference to meat"
The governor referred to the circu-
lar letter revealed during the trial of
the meat packers in Chicago, which
appropriate prices for meat were sug-
gested, and he said, with a gentiity
in the history of business
etiquette, the suggestion was always
accepted"
Gov. Wilson said a prominent wool
I'll manufacturer Hdu dQl1lILoQ 10 MIN
hat schedule X" was wrong. The
governor declared that the business
men of the country were by no means
dishonest and that as soon as they
'ealized that they were proflting
wrongly they would turn to more
legitimate process.
The governor referred to the tariff .
Is malignant growth that required

ng years are made happy? he asked.

SENATOR CATRON MAKES KEYNOTE
SPEECH FORECASTING TAFT'S RE.
ELECTION. .... ATTENDANCE ONLY
FAIR.
WITH LITTLE
ENTHUSIASM

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Sept. 12.-Na
than Jaffa, well known merchant OF
Roswell and former territorial secre
tary will be the republican nominee
for congress, if the present slate is
put through in the convention which
met here at o'clock this afternoon
In point OF attendance the convention
is about the same as the democratic
convention last Monday, but the usual
trick of the old guard was resorted
to and the convention hall was partly
filled with local people who were in
duced to attend, most of them consist
ed of the remnant of the old Hubbell
machine. There was not great
amount of enthusiasm. In act one
spectator said the progressive conven-
tion made more noise when they saw
a picture of Theo. Roosevelt than this
convention made when Senator Catron
was introduced Mr. Catron presided
as temporary chairman, delivering the
keynote. Herbert w. Clark of Las
Vegas, state secretary, acted as tenn
pOfdfy secretary.
In his keynote speech, Senator Cat
ron declared with great assurance
that the republican party would elect
it's three Taft electors in this state
and that Mr.. Taft would be the next
president, both of which assertions
were received with looks of dismay
by the old guard leaders on the floor
Mr.. Catron is an eloquent speaker He
devoted his remarks principally to ma
tional issues and especially the neces-
sity of tariff protection, making the
issues for the republicans, national
questions. He made no reference to
land grants, carloads of cement, wild
animal bounty FUND, taxation or other
matters of considerable local import
ance. The old guard republicans are
badly demoralized. There are many
sore spots and they are alarmed a.
the proportion which the progressive
has gained. The conven-
ton will probably appoint it's perma-
nent committees this afternoon and
adjourn until this evening.
WHO WILL SUCCEED LUNA?
Albuquerque, N. M, Sept 1.-THE
fight of the convention promises to
be over the selection of a member of
he republican national committee to
succeed the late Solomon Luna.
Among the candidates for the place
ire Senator Catron, Charles A. Spiess
md H. 0. Bursum, defeated candi-
late for governor in the last election.
J. S. Senator Fall, who arrived this
morning from Ell Paso, who, with
senator Smith of Michigan, is inves-
igating the Mexican situation, is also
mentioned as a candidate for national
