SENATOR FALL TO BLAME
Responsible for Soaring Orozco Away
 from Peace Negotiations.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

MEXICO CITY. Aug. 10.-MeXicO planes Senator Fall of New Mexico for it's failure to come to peace terms with Orozco, the rebel leader Presi- dent Madero came to this conclusion today and it is based principally upon reports he has received from the gov ernment agents at Fl Paso. He made his views known in an official state ment issued by the department of the interior by his authorization.
 Practically all hope of negotia tions for peace terms with the rebels has now been abandoned by the gov ernment Rafael Hernandez, minis ter of fomento, who conducted the negotiations with Orozco near Fl Paso has gone to Lower California to study irrigation conditions
 It is understood here that govern ment agents at Fl Paso reported that Senator Fall played more than passive part in frightening OrOzco off Just what action he has taken the government does not pretend to know, but it is intimated that Fall might have communicated to OroZco directly, the sentiments he expressed in his speech in the senate in the Mexican situation.
 Tt seems that Orozco had accepted conditions" says the statement when he brusquely, without a known motive changed his action completely. There is no offical data on the causes which brought about the change, but from reports that have been received, it seems that the de- termination of OrozcO was influenced by efforts of the American senator A. B. Fall, who lately delivered in the senate a speech filled with cri ticism of the Mexican government
 Orozco's petition was that he be permitted to leave the country but it was not definitely specified where he expected to go. This left the United States as a possible chance, and government officials are now in clined to believe that he expected to join his wife in California. Senator Fall has demanded that Orozco be held personally responsible for the acts committed against the United States.
 A feature of the negotiations which came to light today is that Herman deZ had been authorized to extend to Campa, Salazar, Rojas and other leaders the same conditions be offer ed OrOZcO. Jesus Flores MagOn, min ister of the interior. said tonight that it was Orozco who requested a peace conference He said that when Oroz- co learned that Hernandez was going to Lower California he sent a mes sage saying he would like to con- fer with him. After the conference Hernandez reported that Orozco said he would surrender and all his troops would lay down their arms on the sole condition that he be allowed to leave Mexico. On receipt of this news Madero called a cabinet meet ing at which Hernandez was author iZed to treat for peace on these terms.

NEW ERA IS BEGUN
 IF NOTHING MORE
Colonel Thinks This the First Sensible
 Attempt at Reform
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

OYSTER BAY, August 10.-"Win or lose, this is a fight worth the making, said Roosevelt today Whatever the Outcome of the campaign which now is opening, it is his opinion that a new era in American political history will be dated fro mthe progressive con vention held in Chicago this week.
 For more than forty years, the eX- president said, sporadic reform move ments have come into existence, many of them in the west. He cited Bryan's campaign in 1896 and the popullSt movement as examples. Most of them, he continued, had contained something good, but were coupled with quack remedies, worse than the disease they were supposed to cure.
 The good points in them all, he said had been gathered together in the pro- gressive party's policies and for the first time there was given to the coun try these ideas without the accOmpani- ment of what he termed preposterous which would make it inn possible for sane men to follow.
 The progressive party, he asserted, had started on the right basis and was sure to make wide appeal. The work of organizing. he said, had gone on more rapidly than he had thought was possible The progressive party stand on the tariff, Roosevelt believes, will be a source of great strength. Some expressed it well, he said, by telling him that the republican tariff was "a tariff of privilege" the demo- cratic tariff "a tariff of destruction, but that the new party was the first that ever had stood for a tariff for labor. It is his belief that when the stand of the progressive party is thoroughly understood it will win many votes from both the old parties

 proval; Most of Others Tariff Revision Projects
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArCHl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-When President Taft vetoed the wool bill yesterday, he stamped with his dis approval the twenty fifth legislative measure sent him from congress. Most of the VetOes were comparatively un- important subjects during the special session last summer Four of his vetoes have been of tariff bills
 His one other veto of importance last year was directed at a joint re- solution admitting Arizona and New Mevico to statehood. This bill met with executive disapproval because of a provision in the Arizona constitution allowing the recall of judges.
 Besides the wool bill the president has returned one other important measure this session, the army ap- prOpriation bill which as passed con- gress would have legislated General Leonard Wood out of office on March and made radical changes in the army.
 Already, however. he has planned enough votes for this session to add half a dozen to the present record Vetoes of the steel tariff bill and the legislative, executive and judicial ap- prOpriatiOn bill with an amendment abOlishing the commerce court, will be sent to congress early next week. ton revision bill, and the excise tax bill will be prepared when congress sends them to the White House.

And yet it seems to me that we are stand ing in the presence of something high CT than allegiance to the democratic party. The country has been disap pointed in the republican party and ij is turning to the democratic party That party is willing to show the way toward those things which must be re- alized. Some gentlement seem to find it easy to make personalities out of politics, but it seems to me that when ever that is done politics is debased Men who are in search of reform are now turning to the democratic party, because, for my own part, I do not know where else they will turn to ex- pect results. There is no discOunting the strength. service and ability of a united party, and a splendid party is the democratic party and it is united. the Baltimore convention without any personal feeling of any kind. I am delighted to believe that whoever we may have supported for the nomina- ton, we are now glad to work to- gether

The governor remarked first that he was glad to be introduced by Dugan because it showed there were good Irishmen among these Orange men" 'I am glad" said the governor, "to see the north and south of Ire land brought together" The governor thanked the Jersey delegation for the visit

DECORATION READY
 FOR WHITE HOUSE
He Will Keep Copy of Plat form Hanging Over His Official Desk; Another Cause of the High Cost of Living
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcHl

WAUKESHA, Aug l0-In the vi Cinity of his birth, surrounded by the friends of his youth and the scene of early struggles in his legal profession. Eugene w. Chain, now a resident of Arizona. and the prohibi- ton candidate for president of the United States. was officially notified today of his nomination by the na- tional convention which met at At lanuc City July 10.
 The ceremony took place in the Methodist church, a heavy ram com polling a change from the outdoor program The notification address was delivered by Rev. Charles H. Mead, D. b, of New York, permanent chairman of the national committee.
 Many prominent adherents of the cause including members of the noti- ficatiOn committee were in attend ance
 In accepting the nomination Chain said it was with many thanks that he had received an engrossed a copy Of the party's platform which he said can be hung over the office desk of the president in the White House and be a daily reminder of his pledges to the people.
 In replying to pr Mead, MT Chafin treated the high cost of living from another angle-Tfe said:-
 The platform we'll says that the liquor traffic is the most serious drain on the wealth and resources of the nation" It takes considerably more than a hundred million bushels of grain each year to make liquor for the United States. Nearly a mill lion men are engaged in making and distributing liquor They support fam lilies of four millions more. To start with, we have here an army of five millions of non producers con sumers of food. clothing and shelter. the necessaries of life. AS a result ot this traffic more than two hun dred thousand men are in jails and penitentiaries. All consumers and nonproducers. Then add to this army, court officials. policemen, employees and attendants of poor houses, jails, penitentiaries, insane and other hos pitals for the dependent classes caused by the licuor traffic and you will have an army of nearly ten millions who consume and do not produce any of the necessaries of life. Herein lies the cause of the high cost of living Destroy the liquor traffic-let those ten millions of consumers be- come producers and the problem is solved and there is NO OTHER SO- LUTON. Charging it to the tariff and like legislation is mere bum combe The liquor problem is the greatest economic problem the world has ever faced. The solution of the labor and capital question is bound up in it For the leaders of all other parties to ignore this great question in order to get the liquor vote is travesty on the word statement" And especially is this true when they call themselves pro gressive' Where have they pro gressed' from? And where are they progressing to?
