Wilson took exception to the the
DRY that monopoly in business is in
evitable. He said:
When gentlemen say that such
combinations as the steel trust and
Others are necessary for economy
and efficiency, the only answer that
7 can think Of that meets the situa-
ton Is rats. Go tell it to the ma
,rines. but don't venture to tell It to
anybody who knows the circum-
stances by which these combinations
were made"

The Last Of the Aliens Captured.

The Last OF the Aliens Captured.
The news Of the capture of Sidna
Allen and Wesley Edwards is now
known everywhere. A young girl
unknowingly led the detectives to a
far western city where they found
the two fugitives and made them
prisoners. They are now In Roam
oke jail and passed through Will
hanson last Saturday morning.
There was no betrayal ON the part
of the girl, She being ignorant Of
the fact that she was Swallowed by
the Baldwin detectives. It seems to
have been the father OF the girl
who put the detectives on the track
OF the fugitjves.

From Democratic State Executive
Committee.

1 NOtltftNANttets
| The clerical force OF the Demo-
Icratic, State headquarters is being
kept busy these days answering let
tiers from members of the Progress
i've Party conveying the information
that they intend to vote for VIM. r.
Thompson for governor because Of
the attitude which Dr. Hatfield, Re-
publican candidate for governor, has
assumed toward Mr.. Roosevelt, the
Progressive candidate for President.
Hundreds Of these letters have been
received from different parts OF the
State and the indications are that
the Hatfield sentiment among
| the members of the Progressive
Party is very strong.
The position taken by DR.. Hatfield
/ In regard to the Progressive candi-
date for President is we'll known
among both Republicans and Pro-
gressives for he explained It very
clearly in his speech at Wayne court
house some weeks ago. In that
speech he said my choice for Pres
/ ident was Theodore Roosevelt
went to Chicago to use my influence
in securing his nomination In any
manner that / could, honorably. He
left the panty. I am no more his
supporter
This attitude of opposition for
Roosevelt publicly expressed by the
Republican nominee for governor Is
the basis Of the opposition of mem
bers Of the Progressive Party who
have written to the Democratic State,
Headquarters explaining why they
expect to support VIM. r. Thompson
for governor. Another reason given
by them for supporting Mr.. Thomp-
son is that they believe that the
state leader of the Roosevelt Party
has entered into a deal with the reg
.ular Republicans by which the Pro-
gressives are to be delivered as far
as possible to the Republicans and
their votes are to be cast as far as
they can be controlled for Repulbli-
cans rather than for Progressives,
in exchange for the support OF a
Progressive for senator by the Re-
publicans who may be elected to the
legislature this year.
These two reasons are assigned In
nearly all letters received from Pro-
gressives in explanation Of their de-
termination to vote against Dr. Hat
field and for Mr.. Thompson. \.
