PRIMARY REGULATION BY OUTSIDERS.

m LII kinds of novelties are appearing in American politics
m this year, and not the least remarkable among them is
the virtual selection of a candidate for the Democratic
senatorial nomination in the New Jersey primaries by three citi-
Gems of other States, two of New York and one of North Caro-
lima. The genius of the State primary law is that the primary
shall be open and free to all. 1t was claimed for the law when it
was passed that it placed all citizens on an equal footing. If they
should secure a certain number of names on petitions for their
Endorsement there would be no bar to their candidacy. In the
Democratic senatorial contest, however, we have seen the Gov
ernor, in violation of the spirit of the law, interfering to i'm
pose his will on the party voters, and then we beheld a process
of elimination of declared candidates to restrict the choice of the
party voters as near as possible to one favored candidate. That
three men, not citizens of the State, and in nowise connected
with it's public affairs, should assume the authority to coerce a
candidate to withdraw for the declared purpose of forcing the
nomination of a particular candidate seems incredible. If the
Democratic voters in New Jersey<were incapable of an intelli-
gent choice in their primaries there might be some excuse for
this impertinent outside interference. AS it is the action by the
three outsiders is a sorry reflection upon the Democratic voters,
whose affairs are thus regulated for them without their asking.

LONGWORTH WILL

CINCINNATI, Sept. 19.-Declaring

he is a Progressive, Nicholas Long
worth, Republican candidate for re-
election from the First Congress dis
trict of Ohio, and s~on-in-law of Colo

the Hamilton county central commit
tee. asserted that he believed modern
conditions both socially and industri-
ally demand progressive legislation,
and hat the policies inaugurated in
the administration of President Roose-
welt must be carried out to their ulti-
mate end.
II am for primaries and | am for
the extension of the primary laws to
cover all offices, even up to the presi-
dency.' declared the speaker.
II believe that progressive legis-

government fuller control over great
aggregations of capital engaged in
production and distribution between
the States, and thai while they
should by no can be destroyed or
even discouraged, provided they obey
the law, they should be regulated in
the interests of the consuming pub
lie.
1T shall attempt to prove to them
that the policies of the Democracy, as
indicated in their platform and par
ticularly in the tariff bills passed by
them in the present Congress, would
bring absolute ruin to the industries
of this district, and would infict in
~calculable damage upon all engaged
in these industries, employees as well
as employers"

The name of Rachel Foster Avery,
of Philadelphia, is dear to the hearts
of s~uffragists in all countries, for she
has faithfully served both the ma
tional and the international %associa-
tons in an official capacity for many
years. AS a girl of 90 she managed
the campaign in Nebraska for a
woman suffrage amendment, with
Headquarters in a basement room in
Omaha.
For twenty years Mrs. Avery "a
corresponding secretary of the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage Association
and it's first vice-president for four
years. She was also elected and re-
elected president of the Pennsylvania
Woman Suffrage Association, and
under her leadership it's membership
was largely increased. AS secretary
of the International Woman Suffrage
Alliance for several years she gave In
valuable service to the cause, and her
resignation was a disappointment to
the society. With one exception, Mrs.
Avery worked more years as the close
associate of Susan B.. Anthony than
any other person.
Mrs. Avery inherited her radical
ideas from her father, j. Heron Fos@
ter, founder of the Pittsburgh Dir
patch, the man who established thA
first penny newspaper west of the Jaw

progressive. She has three beaut1fuI

7. R. MAKES HOT
REPLY TO WILSON
Colonel Denounces Governors
Attack as F~aIse-Says Con-
ditions Are Reversed.

TRINIDAD, Colo, Sept. ia de-
NAL of statements attributed to Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson in regard to
the Progressive party's attitude
towards trusts was made by Colonel
Roosevelt in a speech here today.
Governor Wilson, he said, was quoted
as saying in a speech at Sioux Falls,
S. D., that the Progressive plan
would work for the interests of the
large corporations and would give
them control of the market for labor.
This is Colonel Roosevelt's reply:
Mr.. Wilson should be above mis-
quoting facts in order to bolster up
his arguments. In his speech yester-
day he stated that the method now
proposed by the Progressives to regu-
late the trusts was suggested by
Messrs. Gary and Perkins before the
committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives named to look into the
steel trust. And he stated 1t was done
to save the United States Steel Cor
poration from the necessity of doing
its business better than its COM
petitors.
II wish to call attention at this
time to the fact that as far as | know
the overwhelming majority of men
who control both the steel corporation
and the harvester trust are support
ing either Mr.. Taft or Mr.. Wilson.
They are certainly opposing me. In
deed. as far as I know, the only man
connected with either organization
who is supporting me is Mr.. Perkins
himself"
Colonel Roosevelt spoke at La Junta
before reaching Trinidad. Other Col
orado cities In which he is scheduled
to speak today are Rocky Ford,
Pueblo. Colorado Springs and Denver
Yesterday the colonel invaded New
Mexico, normally Republican by 5000,
but likely to be swept by the Demo-
Gratis this He rode fourteen
hours over the desert and made two
stops for speeches. The impor-
tant of these was delivered at Albu-
oueroue. where he addressed a crowd
of about 5000 Spanish-Americans
from a band stand at the depot.

How the Campaign Progresses
Progressive Democratic Republican
ON FLYING
VISIT TO CHICAGO
Meets Leaders at Western
Over Reception in West.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1s.-"Plainly the
times are changing" declared Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson on his arrival
here today in reference to his recep-
tions on his tour, which, he said
were "the greatest gatherings he had
ever talked to since he entered public
life" The Governor spoke particu-
larry about his visits to Minneapolis
and st. Paul. where HI delivered a
speech of $1,000 words without having
prepared a word of 1t.
Fred B. Lynch, national commit
teeman of Minnesota, conferred with
the Governor on the way here.
The Democratic candidate went inn
mediately to the Western headquar-
ters, where he talked to a gathering
of business men and politicians I'M
til his departure for Detroit at 1926
a. m.
Besides the political side to his
visit to Detroit the Governor looked
forward to an Introduction to Tyrus
Cobb, the Detroit baseball player. The
Governor lived and practised law in
the same section In Georgia in which
Cobb lived.
Ralph Smith, the representative OF
from Atlanta, Ga, and who is trav-
cling with the Governor, planned 1.-The
Georgia reunion"
Governor Wilson came to this city
for a flying vist, after passing through
Milwaukee, today. He had only an
hour and a half to spend here, but
his program was so well laid out that
considerable work was accomplished.
Gilmore w. Hurst and a reception
committee escorted him from the sta
ton to the Democratic headquarters,
where a short conference was held
with the leaders. After that there
was a public reception, at which the
Governor delivered a short address
and shook the hands of several hun
dred persons. The next city On his
itinerary is Detroit.
Yesterday he was accorded as en-
thusiastic a reception as was ever
given a candidate in ST. Paul and
Minneapolis. At the latter place the
public schools took a recess as the
Governor passed through the city in
an automobile, and the children were
lined up along the main street, wav-
ing small American flags. Once he
stopped to address about 600 of the
children. The Democratic candidates
tour of the twin cities Of Minneapolis
and st. Paul was a sort of triumphal
procession. The officials of both
cities escorted him through the
streets, squads of motorcycle and
mounted police preceding. He spoke
four times to as large audiences as he
has met since coming to the West.
One of the features of the day In the
twin cities was an address delivered
to- 4, 800 students of the University of
Minnesota.

NEGLECT OF THE PURE FOOD LAWS

m s to how the pure food laws are enforced in New Jersey
T1l the public has to rely on faith, and experience has shown
that faith is untrustwOrthy in the cases of public Off
Gals. The general belief is that there is great negligence on
the part of the responsible authorities and observation strength.
ems that belief. There are singularly few prosecutions, while
there are numberless temptations to violate the law. 1t may
be found that in the sale of soda water beverages alone the
violations Justify numerous arrests that are not made. Much
of the soda water dispensed is sweetened with saccharin, instead
OF sugar. 1t is easy for an expert to detect the presence of the
substitute, which is harmful in its effects upon the health.
Many of the favoring extracts used are colored with coal tar.
Cheap candy that contains injurious ingredients is also freely
sold and is responsible for much i'll health of children. In pure
food laws, as in all other laws, it is not the statute, but the
enforcement of the same, that accomplishes the object of legis.
laton, and we have been too well content to pass laws and pay
no attention to their violation. 1t is noteworthy that under the
present State administration no attention has been given to the
enforcement of the pure food law.

APPENDICITIS AND II CRoss-LEdGED.

SHHE theory is advanced that appendicitis is superinduced
i'll by the habit of sitting cross.egged. Any observant cii-
zen who travels in public conveyances can testify to the
universally of the habit and knows that i. is not confined TO the
male sex, although the rule of decorum for women is to rest
both feet on the floor while sitting. There is a certain coinci
dence as between the too general crosslegged habit and the
wide prevalence of appendicitis that suggests cause and effect,
and it may be recommended to people who have not yet been
compelled to sacrifice their vermiform appendices to abstain
from the habit, and especially in street cars.

TAFT TO ADOPT
BUDGET SYSTEM
Will Fight Congress for New
Method-Few Visitors
at Beverly.

BEVERLY, Mass, Sept. 19.-Presi-
dent Taft intends to give the people
of the United States an opportunity
to become familiar with a budget
system of estimating revenues and
expenditures, whether Congress APP
proves or not.
In a bill passed by Congress and
signed by the President in the closing
/ hours of the last session Ii was de-
cided hat estimates should be sub
mitted to Congress as heretofore. The
paragraph escaped the eyes of the
President at the time, but since the
session closed he has decided that he
will try to show the country the adj
vantages of a budget system over the
'Sresent methods of estimating the in
come and expenditures of the govern
ment
I The President, after consulting with
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh,
has reached the conclusion that there
is nothing to prevent Mr.. MacVeagh
sending along the estimates in budget
form, just as a comparison, and not
for use In framing bills. In this way
he hopes to get the attention of the
country focused upon a matter which
he believes is most important. The
President, it is stated, probably will
make a statement soon regarding the
budget system.
Postmaster Frederick Greiner, of
Buffalo, who missed a luncheon en-
gagement at Parramatta yesterday
because his train was late, was a
guest at breakfast today with the
President. Mr.. Taft's only other en-
gagement for today was with H. F..

mitteeman from Texas.
