PITTSBURGH FOR WILSON
PrOgressives There Glad to Support
Him Instead of Roosevelt.

\ Woodrow Wilson will BE- Endorsed
by the Progressive party Of Pennsyl-
vania, and the support that Colonel
Roosevelt expected to get will 20 To
the Democratic candidate This in
formation was made public recently
| by Clarence W. Tiers, chairman Of the
Progressive party, just before he left
for Philadelphia, where he conferred
with leaders OF the Keystone party.
Mr.. Tiers says he expects to form a
coalition with the Keystone party and
carry on Statewide campaign for
Wilson and Marshall.
| MIR. Tiers, who was one Of those
who urged Roosevelt, at Chicago, to
head a third party, says he will per-
sonally ask the Colonel to eliminate
himself as candidate and work for
the election of Wilson. The Jersey
Governor, MIR. Tiers says, stands for
all the principles that the progressive
elements in both parties have been
advocating. The need for the advent
of Roosevelt at the head of a third
party, Mr.. Tiers says, has been re-
moved
Mr.. Tiers denounces William Finn,
says he has no place in the progress
sive movement, and declares Finn il
not wanted in the Progressive party
i'm the State. Tiers says Finn il a.
progressive ar "Joe' Cannon, and that
at the last Senate convention, when
Finn had a chance to write progress
sive planks In the State platform, he
failed to do so.-New York Times.

Why Wilson Will Win.

If the Democrats cannot elect
Woodrow Wilson they could not elect
anybody.
No Democratic national canvass
since Jackson's has been inaugurated
more auspiciously. The points of
vantage may be summarized briefly
as follows
. Democratic year. The people are
disguised with the Republican party
and eager for a change.
Disruption of the opposition. The
difference of the two wings, for the
first time since the Republican party
was born are irrecOncilable.
An open and honest convention
In marked contrast with the doings
ait Chicago, there was at Baltimore
no arbitrary action on behalf Of one
candidate and no suggestion of bril-
berry in the interest OF another.
The main issue. At last the line is
sharply drawn between excessive pro-
lection and revenue tariff.
An unpledged candidate. Nobody
pretends that MIR. Wilson il under
the slightest obligation to any man
or group of men for his nomination.
Elimination of bosses. 90 far from
catering to those accustomed to con
troll, Mr. Wilson defied them. He had
not hesitated to denounce MIR. Muir
ply, Mr.. Sullivan and Mr.. Taggart by
name. His sole appeal was to public
opinion.
Removal of the blight Of Bryan
ism. Mr.. Wilson owes nothing to
the marplot who schemed to obtain
the nomination for himself. Nor is
he bound in any way to recognize the
vagaries which for SO long have dis
of the country.
Independent support. Almost with
out exception the powerful public
journals have already pledged the
exercise Of their utmost endeavors
on behalf of the Democratic standard
bearer.
Moral sentiment. The widespread
revulsion of conscientious citizens
against political depravity, which Mr..
Roosevelt has tried with consummate
skill to capitalize for his own ad-
vancement, now insures to the advan-
tage Of Gov. Wilson, to the great re-
| lief of millions who distrusted Roose-
welt but knew not where else to turn.
A vivid personality. Mr.. Wilson
has demonstrated matchless power of
effective appeal to the masses gener-
ally, and to active, enthusiastic,
younger men i'm particular. This
means that his canvass will be sur
charged with the same electrical, per-
suasive energy which achieved his
nomination.
Such are some of the weighty in
f1uences whose tacit recognition has
already induced a feeling that Mr..
Wilson's election il virtual certain
ty-Harper's Weekly.

INJURY FROM HESSIAN FLY
Dates for Sowing Wheat i'm Different
Parts Of the State.

The Hessian Fly has caused more
or less severe injury in all parts of
the State the past season. In some
cases it has reduced the crop of wheat
from 25 to 80 per cent.
The general increase of the pest
makes it necessary for farmers to ex-
ercise every care in preventing, as
far as possible, severe injury another
year.
The insect passes the summer in
the wheat stubble. Where not inter
fering with clover the stubble should
be burnt over. No volunteer wheat
should be allowed to grow during the
summer. Rotation of crops il very
beneficial.
On farms where the pest has been
serious, narrow plats Of wheat should
be sowed in late summer about Sep
TENDER LIST to 10th, depending on 10
cality, as bats for the Fly Later,
this can be plowed down.
From observations and records,
considering the latitude and altitude
at the various points, wheat should
not be sowed in the surrounding
country Of the following cities and
towns of the State before the dates
given

There have been several attempts
lately to burglarize several private
dwellings in Taneytown, by parties
unknown. This kind Of entry to a
house is a dangerous vocation, es-
pecially when arms and ammunition
are as plentiful as they are in fancy
town. The parties should engage in
q more legitimate business.
The recent heavy rains have made
the ground too wet for the farmers
to pillow for fall seeding.
