COLONEL OFF FOR
VERMONT TONIGHT
Will Make Six Speeches on
Sweep Through Green
Mountain State.

OYSTER BAY. Aug. 2s.-Colonel
Roosevelt tonight starts on a three
day automobile trip through Vermont.
During this he will make six
speeches, and will endeavor to offset
to some extent the work that has
already been lone in that State by
the Taft managers.
The third party has been very well
represented in the Vermont campaign
by Governor Stubs, Of Kansas;
former Senator Beveridge, of Indiana,
and other Progressive orators. The
colonel will follow along in their
tracks, scattering hot-shot, and hopes
to turn what it is conceded will be a
discouraging election for the Repub-
lican party into a Progressive vic
tory.
The colonel has not yet finished the
reply to the Penrose and Archbold
charges. on which he has been busy
since last week. This reply, which
will take the form of a letter to Sena-
tor Clapp, the colonel expected to
have ready Monday, but it is prob
able hat it will not be made public
until next week.
1t is quite possible. however, that
much of the material that will go into
the Clapp letter will be used by
Colonel Roosevelt in his Vermont
speaking tour.

WHY THIRD PARTY
SHUNS PRIMARIES
Progressives Plan for PreIim-
inaries of Own Next Year,
Says BlauveIt.

PATERSON. Aug. 2S.-Former AS
semblyman James G. Blauvelt, the
Progressive candidate for senator. to-
day gave out the following statement
setting forth the reasons the Pro-
gressives will not participate in the
primaries n his views of the pres
ent local political situation:
For six ear we made u fight
in the primaries, but then we were
only a faction of the Republican
party. Now we are a new party.
Then we could only appeal to Re-
p~ublicans; now we appeal to all
voters, whether they belong to any
party or not. We are delighted at the
prospect of an up-and-up fight on
election day.
mo Progressive will vote in the
primaries this year, because if he
does he will have to vote in the Re-
publican, Democratic or Socialist box
and be put down on the roll of that
party. The ~Progressives are conn
dent that they are the largest party,
and next year they will have a pri-
mary box. the same as the Repub-
leans and Democrats.
Next year a governor is to. be
nominated, and every Progressive will
want to vote in the Progressive pri-
mary to select the Progressive candi-
date. We believe we will sweep the
State this year., and, believing so, we
see how important next years pri-
mary will be. If we voted in the pri-
mary of either of the old parties this
year-even to help some friend get a
nomination for alderman or n other
we could not vote in the Progressive
box in next years primary for gov
ernor.
After Labor Day we viii open our
campaign before the people in
earnest. We r now preparing a full
ticket, even for aldermen and justice
of the peace, in every ward and town
ship, and the people will decide the
contest"

Upon my visit to this dance hall"
he continued. ito learn whether or
not the conditions were as bad as re-
ported, I found that children in short

not be tolerated in our city. Our
candidates stand for decency, and if

there will be a big cleanup"
The meeting, which was held at the

Penrose Doing Just What Third
Party Wants, Says For
mer Governor.

ELIZABETH, Aug. 2S. = Former
Governor Fort, addressing a meeting
of the Progressive League of Union
county, in Y. M. C. A. Hall last night,
sale that Senator Penrose is doing
lust what the Progressives want hin
tohdo. that 1t is the most. preferred
thing for the of the Progress
sive movements as showing the side on
which their opponents stand as re-
gard the "old-fashioned boss-ridden
school of politics"
cit may require two years. or II
may be three years, before the Pro-
gressive. party is successful through
out the country" he said, "but sue
cess is sure to come, and it might be
this year" Regarding his W posi-
ton, Mr.. Fort said:
Il have burned all of the bridges
behind me, so / can't turn back. ]
don't want to turn back, and I be-
lieve Roosevelt will be the next Presi-
dent"
A large number of women were
present.
In his address former Governor
Fort said:
It is not an easy thing to break away
from years of political associations, and
some who should be with us are, for
this reason, holding back; but they viii
all come. There is nothing else for them
to do. As the Progressives leave the old
parties their boss ridden, special interests
leadership stands out all the clearer.
1t is our purpose to have a new, clean
peoples party, progressive in name and
spirit. Every. promise that we make is
to be fulfilled If we can do it. Every
mar and woman shall have improved con
ditions in the home. in business, in labor
conditions, in city, State and national af-
fairs, If we can bring it about. In a
word, every person In the land shall have
an equal opportunity.
Let the young men take the lead. This
is the party of the future, the party of
opportunity and hope. Give them the
first place in our councils. Their m
pulses are all right and they believe in
progressive measures. Get the women
organized: we have given them their first
opportunity and we should welcome them
as they, no doubt, will be glad to be well
coined.

CARNEGIE ADMoNLSHES PITTSBURGH

n NDREW CARNEGIE, good, amiable man, has a perfect
~ right to his opinions and hobbies, and when he says that
his old town of Pittsburgh. distinguished for newly made
millionaires and councilmanic graft, would be degraded by having
her name used for a battleship, who shall criticise him? Mr.. Car
negie hugs the vision of a world peace. No Armageddon and
battle for the Lord for him. The world is to be a peaceful
sheepfold, in which the lion and the lamb may lie down beside
each other. Mr.. Carnegie would inaugurate his program by
serapping the United States navy as an example for other nations
to follow. If, instead of sending their navies to the Junk heap,
they should send them to attack our coasts and take the Panama
canal and divide up Central and South America and shut our
commerce out of the seas, we would at least be comforted by
the reflection that we are a nation for peace and that some day
the peace society may convert these nations, too.

TARIFF POLICIES
WILSON'S SUBJECT
Governor Will Discuss Ideas of
Three Parties Before
Changers Tomorrow.

SEA GIRT, Aug. 2S.-Application o.
the tariff policies of the three politi.
cal parties to the farming industry Of
the country will be the chief topic
which Governor Woodrow Wilson will
discuss tomorrow in his speech before
the State Changers picnic at Will
iams's Grove, Pa.
The Governor today distributed ad-
vance copies of a portion of his
speech, which he dictated to a stem
ographer. AS he glanced owe 1t today
the result did not satisfy him.
You will see by reading this
speech that I ann prepare one in
advance" said the Governor. 81 have
got to have an audience and the
warmth that comes as I go along
with my speech. I can't take a help
less st~enographer and talk to him.
1t is like cruelty to animals"
Louis d. Brandeis, of Boston, had
luncheon with the Governor. Incl
dentally he is one of the first of
Governor Wilson'S political callers
whom he has invited to luncheon at
the summer capital.
The Governor will leave here late
today for Philadelphia, spending the
night there and continuing early to-
morrow to Harrisburg, from which
place he will motor to Williams's
Grove. Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer, of Pennsylvania, a member
of the campaign committee, will join
the Governor at Philadelphia and
probably introduce the nominee at

Governor Wilson has declared him
self in favor of giving thorough pub
licity to campaign contributions.

vestigation of my campaign ex-
penses," he said. 1T have always held
that position. l have always APP
a matter of course"
Asked regarding his own primary
expenses the Governor said:
ITO tell the truth, I don't know
myself, except in a general way, who
had charge of my campaigning in
the various States. 1 merely kept
d general oversight owe my cam
paign fund. Three times we had no
fund at ALL"
The Governor said he could not
make even a general estimate of his
primary expenses. Most of the mon
ey, he said, had been contributed by
Princeton graduates and was spent
for newspaper publicity.
Governor Wilson said he had not
refused a contribution from Thomas
f. Ryan.
Il declined to see Mr.. Ryan" he
said. and Mr.. McCombs declined to
let anybody ask Mr.. Ryan for a con-
tri5ution.'

PRIMARY CONTEST CLOSE

CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug. 2S.-
Latest returns received here give
Jones for Governor 1881 against 49,
800 for Blease and 1904 for Duncan.
Congressman Legare is victorious.
Charleston returns are incomplete and
while Jones appears to have carried
this county by 600, it may require
complete returns to decide. United
States Senator Tillman, Attorney
General Lyon and State Treasurer
Carter carried the county.
COLUMBIA, s.. c., Aug. 2S.-Incom-
plete returns from yesterdays Demo-
cratic. primary show that Governor
Cole L. Blease has a lead of 407 votes
over Judge Ira B. Jones for the gu
bernatorial nomination, the figures
being: Blease, 6,155; Jones, 55, 748;
Duncan, 1882. 1t is believed that
about $4,000 more votes are to be
heard from. If the results are not
materially changed, Blease will fail
of a majority and a second race will
have to be u between HIM and
Judge Jones.

NO NEGRO NEED APPLY NOW.

OTIS HE race question in the American Bar Association has
been slurred over. The three negro lawyers who were
admitted as members will remain, but are expected to
resign, but the color line is virtually drawn against the admis-
sion of any more negroes. Attorney General Wickersham is
credited with this compromise. which in effect closes the door
of the American Bar Association to the negro on account of his
color. The great majority of the lawyers of the association are
Republicans. too. The color line has been drawn in the mechan-
ical trades and in certain professions, and our philanthropists
talk of educating and framing the negro to fit him for a higher
sphere in life. Where is he going to find it?

EXIT THE TARIFF BOARD.

ea he Tariff Board, which cost the government an immense
sum of money without any appreciable benefit, has now
been snufed out of existence and nobody who is not
selfshly interested in bamboozing the public regrets its depar-
ture. The board was not organized for any purpose of ending the
tariff robbery, but was intended to perpetuate it. And for the
two years that the board was in existence what has the country
got? The plumber of the people goes on undated. Mr.. Taft used
the board as an excuse to veto tariff reduction bills, the revised
rates of which afforded abundant protection to the industries
they affected, and between Mr.. Taft and his board the people
will continue to pay $3.50. 100000 of annual tribute that the reform
bills would have saved for them. *
