WILSON NOTIFIED.
Outlines Program of His own.

At Sea Grit on Wednesday last Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson, standing among
a group of nine Governors, formally &C
cepted the nomination as the candidate
OF the Democratic party for President OF
the United States. There was no pomp
or display at the ceremonies. The fol-
lowing are the leading points in the
speech of acceptance:
The nation has awakened to a sense of
neglected ideals and neglected duties.
The forces of the patton are asserting
themselves agaI st every form of special
privilege and private control.
We need no revolution; we need no ex-
cited change: we need only point of
view and a new method and spirit Of
counsel.
The tariff question, as dealt with in our
time, has not been business, it has been
politics.
The only safe and legitimate object of
tariff duties is to raise revenue for the
support of the government.

and it should be OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

New Power Plant.

Work on the power plant at Security,
near Hagerstown, is being pushed along
as rapidly as possible and those who are
interested in the plan are pleased with the
showing that is being made. When COM
pleted this plant will supply electrical
current for the operation of the Hagers-
town Railway Company and the Freder-
lex Railroad Company. With its COM
pletion. the officials of the local company
expect that all the power troubles which
have proven so annoying for the past
year will be rectifed.
When completed it will represent the
expenditure of about half million dol
lars and will place at the disposal of this
community about three thousand horse
power. This power by reason Of the ex-
cellent location Of the plant and up-to-
date machinery used can be manufactur-
ed and sold at low rate so that factories
and industries will be able to secure

Governor Hiram w. Johnson were NOM
mated by the Progressive for president

being accorded to Miss Jane Adams, of
Hull House, Chicago, who has the dis

a speech in a national convention second
ing a nomination for president.
Singing Of religious and patriotic hymns
with tervoI marked the proceedings of
the day.
Only on the question of taking a recess
was there any division Of opinion on the
floor.
Much show was made of an old soldier
feeling, Union and Confederate veterans
appearing on the platform to second
Roosevelts nomination.
Most Of the work was done in the COM
mittee on resolutions, where Colonel
Roosevelt worked all day with the COM
mittee getting the platform in shape.

THE CRIME OF CRIMES.

Theodore Roosevelt has been identi-
fled with the Republican party for over
thirty wears, says the New York World
when the party is not only less corrupt
but when it is more responsive to public
opinion than at any other period during
those three decades.
The Republican party was good
enough for Theodore Roosevelt in 1882
when he wanted to 90 10 the Assembly,
although at the election that fall the peo-
pie OF New York repudiated it by ma
jority of 200, 900.
The Republican party was good enough
for Theodore Roosevelt in 1884 when
tens of thousands of honest Independent
Republicans refused to support tainted
candidate like James G. Blaine. Mr.
Roosevelt was not among them.
The Republican party was good enough
for Theodore Roosevelt in 1884 when he
accepted a nomination for Mayor from
the bosses and corrupt corporations to
defeat Henry George.
The Republican party was good
enough for Theodore Roosevelt in 1850
when he wanted to be a Civil Service
Commissioner, although the Chairman of
its National Committee was Matthew
Stanley QUAY.
The Republican party was good
enough for Theodore Roosevelt in 1897
when he wanted to be Assistant SeCre-
tary of the NAVY and obtained that office
by the favor of Hanna, Plat and Quay.
The Republican party was good
enough for Theodore Roosevelt in 1898
when he wanted to be Governor of New
York and was willing to help save Platts
corrupt machine in return for the noml-
nation.
The Republican party was good
enough for Theodore Roosevelt in 1900
when Platt and Quay nominated him for
Vice-President.
The Republican party was good
enough for Theodore Roosevelt in 1904
when the bosses interpo-ed no objection
to his nominating himself
The Republican party was good
enough for Theodore Roosevelt in 1908
when it meekly permitted him to foist
William H. Taft upon the country as a
proxy.
The Republican party would have been
good enough for Theodore Roosevelt in
1912 if it had nominated him for a third
term, and Mr.. Roosevelt would have
welcomed the support of every man and
every interest now supporting Mr.. Taft
A new party is necessary not because
the Republican party is hopelessIy corrupt
or hopelessly reactionary but because the
Republican party refused to nominate
ME. That is the crime of crimes. Be
cause of that lniquity the Republican
party must be DESTROYED.

THE TARIFF PLANK OF THE
THIRD PARTY PLATFORM,
AND THE DEMOCRATIC
TARIFF PLANK.

1t is conceded on all sides that in
this campaign the dominant issue is the
tariff. Mr. Taft in his speech of accept
ance and all the leading papers concede
it, and while Mr.. Roosevelt does not say
so, what he does say, ultimately leads
to that conclusion.
For the first time Mr., Roosevelt has
defined his position on the subject Of the
tariff While what he says as to his po-
sition on the tariff is not as clear as it
might be, tits clear enough to indicate
that his position on that all importont
question is the same position that
has been taken by Mr.. Taft and the reac-
tionary Republicans is, and has always
been. He is for a high protective tariff,
but is in favor OF a reduction to be
fixed by a Tariff Board, and sufficient
protection to equal the difference be-
tween the cost of production at home
and abroad.
In other words he like Mr. Taft wants
a scientific reduction of the tariff. Mr..
Taft had Tariff Board which was to fix
a scientific tariff and that board reported
that the present tariff on wool and wooden
goods was vastly too high, and they also
reported that it was not possible to find
out accurately the difference in the cost
of production at home and abroad, be-
cause OF the different and various condi.
tons of manufacture. From this it is
clear that if the people are TO get no
relief from the tariff robbery until a Tar
If Board can formulate a scientific SEIZED.
ule, they will never get any relief at all,
and that is just what the tariff benehc-
iaries want. So that there can be no
hoped for relief from the high cost Of
the necessaries OF life from either Mr..
Taft or Mr.. Roosevelt, if it were forcible
to elect either of them. But there is no

He was badly scalded by the escaping

has charged that the Democratic plat
form is tor free trade. This false state
ment is not likely to deceive any intel
ligent voter, but it may deceive some
who have not gone to the trouble to in
form themselves on the subject and it
may mislead some honest Republicans
who have opened their eyes to the in
EQUITIES Of the high tariff and who are
inclined to vote the Democratic ticket.
The Democratic plank on the tariff is as
clear and distinct as language can make
it. 1t declares that the high protective
tariff is the cause of the unequal dis
tribution of wealth IN our country.
That means that the fabulous fortunes
that have been piled up in our country
have been the result of the high pro-
tective tariff. The Rockeiellers, Car
negie Morgan, Perkins, the Standard
Oil, the Tobacco and the Steel Trusts,
have all of them obtained their vast
fortunes by robbing the people through
the high protective tariff The Demo-
cratic party then in its platform says that
II is opposed to a high protective tariff
and is in favor Of revenue tariff.
A revenue tariff gives to the manu-
/ facturers a large measure 8. protection
In fact it gives all OF the protection that
honest business Of any kind wants or
needs. 1t is more protection than any
other business gets.
4 tits nothing but the old Democratic
doctrine followed from the days of Jeffer-
son down to those of Cleveland. Pres
ident Jackson said in his message to
Congress on the subject of the tariff,
that a tariff for revenue gave a great
/ advantage to our manufacturers, and
they enjoyed benefits that no other class
/ euioyed by reason OF the tariff Presl-
dent Polk III his message to Congress
Just before the passage Of the low
Walker Tariff that a tariff tor revenue
only with the incidental protection, gave
the manufacturers a special privilege that
no other class Of our citizens enjoyed,
and they were especially benefited in
their business, but that it resulted from
our system Of raising revenue to support
the government.
The fact remains that under the law
the Walker Tariff of 1916, which was
in force during Mr. Folks administration,
Mr.. Blaine in his history says that the
country was more prosperous than ii
has ever been before or since. We be
leve that with a revenue tariff the Coun-
try will be as prosperous as it was under
| the Walker Tariff Ct 1916. If the people
elect Woodrow Wilson we will have a
revenue tariff, and the high cost of living
will cease and everybody can afford TO
buy enough to eat and W ear, which mill
ions can not do now.
