Progressive Congressional
Candidate Opens with Ad-
dress to Shopmen in This
City at Noon.
BY SWEAT OF BROW
HE FORMERLY LIVED
The Candidate Informed In
terested Audience-V Visits
Bethel, Fountain City and
Whitewater, Today.

Gierluf Jensen, Progressive candi-
date for congress from the Sixth dis
trist, delivered his first address to the
shop men of the city today at noon at
the corner OF North Twelfth and E
streets before more than 100 interested
workmen. This afternoon he made
the first trip of a scheduled swing
through the county, speaking at Bethel
Whitewater and Fountain City.
Mr.. Jensen has a message for the
shop men and workers, for he said
that he spent many years working in
the sweat of his brow. For several
years he received SO month for the
toll he performed He was introduced
to the factory men today by Will Rel
Ter, Progressive candidate for prose-
cutting attorney.
Mr.. Jensen said in part:
81 come before you with pride, feel
ing that l am one of you, because it
was with the sweat of my brow that I,
in former years, earned livelihood.
am delighted to represent the Progress
sive party as congressional candidate.
/ approve heartily of all the principles
1Or Wn1cn IL stands.
81 do not see how Woodrow Wilson,
with his principle that labor is a COM
mercial commodity, can come before
the great working class of America
and ask for votes. The Progressive
party is the only one which comes be-
fore the working people with plat
form that will redress wrongs and
give them help.
Elect the Progressive party and we
will see that your sons and daughters
will no longer be kept in ignorance be-
cause you cannot afford to send them
to school. We will put laws on the In
diana books that will provide free
school books and all the necessities re-
quired to school your children.
1--WE also promise you, that your
daughters will be able to work at wag-
es that will permit them to buy good
clothes and substantial food through
honest employment.
''To you, my brothers, we promise a
liability law which will give you pro-
lection in the hour when you need it
most. We want the American workers
to enjoy all the privileges which right
fully belong to them, and also the
wages which will enable them to live
in comfortable manner. We pro-
pose legislative acts that will forever
prevent the financial depressions that
accompany political campaigns.
''We, as party, feel that We are one
of you, and claim that We are the only
party which can come before you with
out a blush of shame and ask you to
vote for us. Through you we will en-
act the laws you want and demand. If
you elect me to represent you in con-
gress, l shall do everything to help
the condition of the working man and
every class of society in the United
States"
Mr. Jensen is a convincing speaker
and his arguments seemed to strike an
eloquent advocate of the Progressive
cause.

HAVE $50 VENIREMEN.

SALEM, Mass, Sept. 3O.-Three
hundred and fifty veniremen jammed
the court room of Judge Joseph F.
Quinn today when he called to the bar
Joseph Caruso for murder and Joseph
Ettor and Arthur M. Giovannitti as ac-
cessories to murder in connection with
the death of Mrs. Anna Lopizzo in the
Textile strike at Lawrence eight
months ago. Outside the Essex county
court building, many guards were sta
toned because of rumors that men,
bers of the Industrial Workers of the
World Of which Organization Ettor and
Giovannitti were leaders, might attack
the building and attempt to rescue the
prisoners.
This is one of the most eXtraordin-
airy cases in the annals of Massachu-
setts because of the character of the
indictment which charges completely
in the murder of woman during a
strike riot to the leaders who preach
ed strike. All the forces of labor are
lined up against an Interpretation of
the law which means that strike lea
der can be punished for all the excess
es of his followers or even the actions
of the forces they lead. .-.,-- --....
History Of The Case.
Ettor and Giovannitti went to Law
renee shortly after the outbreak of the
big strike in the woollen mills. AS Of
ficers of the Industrial Workers of the
World they addressed meetings of the
striking operatives and counseled
them as to their conduct during the
disturbance. A few days after the be-
ginning of the strike the disturbances
became alarming and the militia was
ordered out. Serious rioting. in which
street cars were attacked, took place
on the morning of January 20. The po-
lice and strikers clashed that same
evening in front of the Everett Mill
and Annie Lopezzi was mortally woun-
ded by bullet.
The day following the killing of the
LopezZi woman Ettor and Giovannitti
were arrested on the ground that their
speeches had melted the principles to
commit the acts of violence which re-
suited in the shooting. In April indict-
ments were returned against them and
they have since been held without bail
to await trial
Since the arrest of the two leaders
a nationwide campaign in their behalf
has been waged by the Industrial Wor-
kers of the World, which has pictured
them as martyrs held in prison by the
interests" Notwithstanding the pre-
vailing belief that the men have been
denied trial up to date by the govern
ment, the records of the court show
that all continuances of the case have
been at the request of counsel for the
defense. 1t is expected that the trial
will occupy at least six weeks.

In the 1904 Campaign, Reads
Letter Written by Late
MIR. Bliss, Given to Senate
Probers Today.
ARCHBOLD CHARGES
ARE NOT SUPPORTED
Resumption of the Campaign
Fund Investigation Today
Was Attended by a Very
Large Crowd.
tNational News Association,


WASHINGTON. Sept. So.-Deter-
mined to discover tho source of the
huge campaign contributions the SEN
ate committee of which Senator Clapp
is chairman. resumed its hearing to-
day. Believing that the investigation
would produce some of the most stirr-
ing incidents in modern political his
tory the committee room was crowded
long before the session opened and
scores were unable to obtain admis-
sion.
William III. Libby of New York. di-
rector of the Standard Oil company,
also appeared before the committee to-
day. His name had not been mention
ed before in connection with the In
vestigation.
Bliss On The Stand.
Cornelius Bliss. Jr.. son of the late
treasurer of the Republican national
committee of 1904. was the first wit
ness called MIR. Bliss submitted two
documents. one a report made by an
auditor of the accounts of Mr.. Bliss.
Sr., and the other a letter written by
the elder Bliss, on his resignation. to
Harry S. New, then chairman of the
committee. Young Bliss declared he
knew nothing of any contributions to
the campaign and that he had not ex-
amined the report except in a casual
way.
''As I am about to retire from the
treasureship of the committee and
cannot be present at it's session IL
seems proper for me to make a report
of the receipts and expeditures for the
1904 campaign.
II inclose copies of report of cam
paign contributions available. I have
consistently refused to make the con-
tents public for the reasons that be-
lieve the contributors have the same
right to secrecy that a voter has a
right to cast his ballot In secret
"A great presidential campaign is a
contention for a principle and there
is no need of disclosing the contribu-
tions thereto than there would be to
make known the movements of organ
izing armies in war times TO each 9TH
er.
Statements of Republican receipts
and expenditures already published
were the emination of spiteful and dis
cased minds and did not contain the
truth or anything like it.
No Tainted Money"
mo political campaign has ever
been conducted in this country as the
Republican campaign of 1904 under
the able and conservative manage
ment of Mr.. Cortelyou. Not a dollar
was received which the committee had
not good moral right to receive. and no
pledges which should not have been
made. There was no improper appro-
priation of the funds. Every member
of the nationa, committee should take
pride in this record"
The letter showed that in 1904 there
was a balance of 100000 left over
from 1900. and total of 81. .0ss. 900 was
obtained in addition. The expenses for
that year were s.. .096. 900.
Young Bliss said he knew nothing
about the letter from Col Roosevelt.
which was supposed to have been des-
troyed, and further stated that he had
never heard his father mention the
names of Archbold or Penrose in con-
nection with the campaign funds. The

Next Monday Is the Last
Day on Which Voters
Can Register Before the
Election.
THIRTY PER CENT
NOT REGISTERED
Removal Certificates Must
Be Secured by Voters from
the County Auditor by
October 4th.

Next Monday, October 7, marks the
beginning of the last session of the
registration board prior to the Novem-
ber election.
Voters whose names are not listed
when this session is concluded cannot
participate in the election. The Pro-
gressive party urges voters VINO did
not register at the two previous ses-
sions of the board to do SO without
fair next Monday.
II voter has moved from one pre-
cinct to another since he registered
at the May or September session, he
must get removal certificate from
dhe county auditor. Voters are urged
ITO secure them before October 4.
Removal Certificates.
Under the law, the registration
clerks have the right to demand the
registration books from the county
auditor on October 4, three days before
the opening Of the last period. Coun-
ty Auditor Bowman will ask the clerk
to leave the books in his office until
Saturday, October 5, to accommodate
voters who want removal certificates.
But he is helpless in the matter if the
clerks demands the books on October
1.
Voters are urged to keep in mind
that October is the last day on
which they may register, and that Oc-
tober is the last day on which they
are afAQlutely sure of securing remov-
a17ce1 in the office Of the coun-
zones on Monday and Oc-
Eiday. Remember these
aoF they mean that you will be
deprived Of your voting privilege if
you have not registered.
1t is probable that the October ses-
sion of the registration board will be
longer than one day in some city pre-
cincts. 1t is expected that if party
sees that it's full vote has not register
ed, 1t will ask that the session of the
board in the precinct be extended one
day. But this is problematical.
Absolutely Necessary.
1t is absolutely necessary to register
Monday, Oct. Z, if the voter has not
already registered. The voter not re-
gistered can not vote this fall.
The Interpretation of the statute
says:
'Registration alone does not qualify
one to vote, but if citizen is other
wise qualified to vote and is not regis
tered, either at the May, September or
October registration, his vote can not
be accepted"
There are some quirks and twists in
the registration law, and there are
,some openings for confusion and in
justices. The wise voter will see to it
that he is not in any way tricked out
lof his roght to register and his right
ito vote. One way to make sure is to
register without fail Monday, Oct Z.
j To be on the safe side, it is up to the
wise voter to register that day and
have it done. If the careless elector
waits for second or third day of op-
portunity to register at the October
period he is liable to be sadly fooled.
The wise voter will keep in his
mind the fact that there is a Joker
in the Taggart machines registration
law That Joker" has the effect of
putting it absolutely in the power of
the registration inspector in the pre-
cinot to hold open the registration

Secretary W. H. Hays of the Green

nr,nosition whicn, if carried into effect
and established in Greenwood. will

other words, in the event that this de-
narture on agriculture is made you find
no ready local market for the products,
and sale that generally effects loss
Is the best available.
Secretary Hays fully appreciates the
fact that this is one of the biggest
needs Of his constituency, and especial
" since he was furnished with data
from the Montioy & Vardaman Fair
view plantation, few miles northwest
of the city, who have experimental
largely in the production of corn. Their
figures show tnat on sixty-eight acres
of corn a yield of an average of lis
bushels was had without the use of any
fertilizer; with the use 200 pounds of
cotton seed meal and 200pounds of acid
phosphate, on ten acres, 1876 bushels of
corn to the acre was grown, and on
two acres of land with $50 pounds of
cotton seed meal and $50 pounds of acid
phosphate, IT'S bushels to the acre was
raised. And along with this corn two
tons of peayne hay to the acre was al
50 raised.
The only thing needed for the furth-
er encouragement and inducement to
this departure from cotton is the estab
Iishment of a grain elevator in Green
wood, and to this end Secretary Hays
is working, where the planters could
store their corn and by moving same
continuously keep same from heating,
and store same until prices are right
for a profit. Secretary Hays is en-
deavoring to interest some Of our capi-
taIists in the proposition, and if same
is carried into effect it will be happy
solution for this problem which faces
the successful raising Of diversified
crops of this nature.
