(Suecial to The Farmer)
 Fairfield, Aug. 29-Over one hundreo and fiftv Democrats. mostly Fairfield CTS and with a sprinkling from Bridgeport, turned out for the first sset together of local followers of Thomas Jefferson, last evening. The gathering was in the nature of a smoker held on the lawns of the George Post residence on Sasco Hill. If the interest displayed by the gath ing is a forerunner of the feeling in Fairfield, then those of the opposite political faith have much to worry over Confidence was expressed on all sides that the old town would turn itself around this season and sweep in not only the local Democratic nom inees, but aid materially in the Ma tionaI Democratic victory which seems surer and nearer as each day passes.
 Sheriff Hezekiah Elwood was mas ter of ceremonies After the big eats and refreshments had been placed away. the Sheriff mounted the ros- trum. bringing the gathering to order. He informed the crowd that there were a number of speakers to be heard, and that what they had to say was of vital interest to all. His first introduction was that of Lynn w. wilson, Democratic candidate for Con- gress from this district. Mir. Wilson in his usual forceful and telling man. ner discussed the national questions which are now engaging the atten- ton of the voters of the country. He spoke of the splendid effort of the

Philadelphia, Aug. 29-Determined to endeavor to wrest Pennsylvania from the Republican column at the coming election. if possible, Governor Woodrow Wilson conferred. early to- day, with a number of state leaders before starting for Williams Grove where this afternoon he addressed a conference of farmers. The governor was accompanied by nearly 10 of the party leaders in the state. headed by Congressman A Mitchell Palmer and State Chairman George W. Guthrie.
 Enroute it was agreed that the ef- forts of the Democrats should be con centrated on carrying Maine, Massa- chusetts, New York. Pennsylvania New Jersey and Ohio. It was explain ed that Roosevelt planned his fight in the far west and that Wilson. by con centrating on the eastern states and depending on Marshall's influence in Indiana, would be able to do far more effective work than by making cir cle swing.
 Members of the party accompanying the governor expected excellent re- suits from his position on the immi- grafton question, made public in a Hetter.to Louis E, Miller, editor of Warheit Tn the letter, the governor Characterised the Democracy as the oFaEinators of the 'open door 60 im- migrants put SSOIeu Sl0di1SIilp COlAi- panies for forcing immigration for their own profit"

It was amatized by Marie Doran, whose adoption differs widely from the one presented in New York last season with the odds in favor of this production. This spectacular story of ancient Alexandria, in the days when Paganism and Christianity were con- tending for the mastery, is written around a young girl named. Thais, whose l6eas of right and wrong were in a very blurred state. as the pivitol character. Although much of the career Of Thais is shrouded in tradi- tion and more in myth, the play suc- ceeds in giving a consistent record of the times and customs amid which this woman of Alex andra moved and created so great a ensation in the circle in which she mingled. First she is seen in the dance hall. appar- ently gay, but yet in mortal terror of of iron and who does not hesitate to profit by her WantOnness.

She is given everything she can wish for, so far as money is concern ed and all that goes with it. But she soon tires of all this gafety and longs for peaceful rest, and when Paphus, the Anchorite, comes to the castle and shows her the error of her ways, she leaves NiSias and goes to the re- treat of the Grey Sisters. In the last act she is seen in the robe of a sister and learning to- fulfill her holy mis- sion on earth.

REVEALED METHODS
 OF SUGAR TRUST
Oxnard Explains How Control of Beet
 Sugar Industry Was Secured.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-When Robert Oxnard, president of the Amer ican Beet Sugar company finished tel ling today the government inquistors his story how the American Refining company and the H. o. Havemeyer in- tereSt had forced the OXnard interest to sell to the trust half the common stock of the concern, he turned, under questioning by an assistant United States district attorney, to an account of the trust methods of regulating the price of sugar and the domination of it's sale in the open market.
 The testimony dealt with the deal by which HaVemeyer spent millions to corner the beet sugar industry throughout the country. II was shown by the witness that Havemeyer pooled all of the prices of firms that had come into the trust, striking an aver age of high prices set by some, and low prices by others. A uniform schedule was arranged and put in force. Under agreement a system of rebates was perfected and the money was subsequently, refunded to tn small Ter companies affected by the scheme.

 Party Movement.
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcHl

HELENA, July 29-The progressive party of Montana organized at mass state convention here this af- ternoOn. Delegates were present from 27 of the 31 counties. Sixteen dele gates were elected to the national convention Each dele gate will have One-f fourth of a vote.
 Senator Dixon, campaign manager for Roosevelt was highly hOnored by the convention, although he was not present. In addition to being chosen the head of the state delegation to Chicago, the senator was named as the Montana member of the new pro gressive party and the declaration in favor of his return to the senate oc- casioned the longest and loudest de- mOnstration of the convention.
 The new party intends to put a complete state ticket in the field this fall. A resolution was accepted in structing the state committee to call a nominating convention to meet within forty days The resolutions ia = vor woman suffrage. The tariff is ignored The platform also declares that the progressive movement is bigger than any individual but in structs the delegates, and pledges the party to work for the nomination and election of Roosevelt.

Democratic National Com mitteeman Ling Says That Roosevelt Movement Will Cut Less Figure as Campaign Proceeds
MOOSEVELTS SEE
 HOPELESS ENDEAVOR
Many of His Most Influen- tial Friends Have Come to Realize the Utter Selfish ness of His Attitude From the Beginning

Democratic National Committee man Reese M Ling returned to the city yesterday morning after an ex- tensive tour of the east, following the Baltimore convention, which he described as hot one. There had been some hint of heat in the press dispatches describing the events Of the convention from day to day
 MT. Ling said that in spite of al! the Roosevelt noise throughout the country, the fight will be wholly be- tween Wilson and Taft, and MT. Ling felt that he was violating no confidence, that had been reposed in him by the democratic managers. in stating that undoubtedly Wilson will be elected.
 A considerable part of the ROOse- welt strength at Chicago has already been lost and Mr Ling believed that the dissipation of it would continue to grow more rapid, so that by the time of the election, the Roosevelt movement would be found to be cut ting very little figure.
 Of the seven little governors whose invitations to him to be a candidate last spring he affected to regard as the imperious demand of the people, have all held aloof from the third party enterprise except one, Governor Johnson of California.
 In some cases those who have de clined to follow the colonel out of the republican party are in sympathy with him as against Taft, but they have no faith in the third party movement; they believe that the re publican party must be captured by the progressive element and that cannot be done from without
 Another class of former supporters have deserted him because of his apparent selfishness at Chicago As soon as he saw that he could not possibly secure the nomination there he proceeded to arrange things So that no progressive candidate could take it and then he began matching the third party scheme.

A NEW BLAST
 FROM COLONEL
General But Brief State
 ment of His Opinion Re
 garding Administrations Saturday Night Defense of Proceedings at Chicago
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

OYSTER BAY. July 29.-The re- nomination of President Taft by the republican national convention last month was compared by Colonel Roosevelt today to the election of William Lorimer to the United States senate. The two cases, he declared stand on the same moral plane. Tafts nomination, in his opinion. can be de- fended only on grounds that would justify Lorimers election Had the Chicago convention been honestly or ganized. he said, there would have been a majority of over a hundred against Taft.
 RoOsevelt's statement was in reply to the administrations defense of the proceedings at Chicago which was issued yesterday at Washington.
 T saw in the papers that Root said he would have voted for the Texas cases. Dr. Butler is said to have declared that he would have voted for the Washington cases" says the statement, "and several are re- ported to have said they would have voted for the California cases.
 If these cases alone had been re- Versed, even if the Texas cases alone had been reversed Taft could moi have been nominated. An honestly organized convention would have beer against Taft by over a hundred ma- jority Moreover, aside from the stolen ninety delegates which gave 2 fradulent majority, Tafts vote was made up, three-fourths by rotter borough delegates from the southern states where there is no real republi- can party, and which never cast 2 republican electoral vote, and of th' handpicked delegates of Messrs Barnes, Penrose, Guggenheim anc company from the north.
 There are politicians and news papers who continue to uphold Lori
 mers innocence and assert that ther'
 was nothing improper about his eiec | tion. Almost all of these politician and newspapers, and some others Il addition, make precisely similar asser tions that there was no fraud O
 theft of delegates at the Chicago con vention. One assertion has precisel. i as much merit as the other. Tn 1 fraudulent nomination of Taft can b. | defended only upon the ground
 which would justify Lorimer's electiol
 to and his retention of his seat in tn senate"

But Orozco Says United States is to

JUAREZ. July 29.-General Orozco, commander-in in chief of the rebels, ad- mitted that he is responsible for or dering the disarming of the MormOns, and declares that the United States is to blame. He takes the ground that he must have arms and ammu- milton in some manner and that in taking those from Americans he is doing no harm for as he naively says, if the revolution be crushed as Ma dero says, there is no need for Ameri- cans to be armed in Mexico.
 If the United States will recognize his government, he says, and permit him to import cartridges and arms he will agree to protect all foreigners. He said he demonstrated his ability to do so until the United States shut off his supply of ammunition.

 Honeywell and aide passed thirty five hours in the air and covered 925 miles. They alighted at [ o'clock this morning.
 "A storm which overlook us on our eastward race anl the fact that we were approaching the Atlantic ocean drove us to the earth" said Honeywell We would have re- mained in the air all day if condi- tions had been favorable. We be- lieve we have established the Ameri- can record But when it rained and with a storm crowding us, we were afraid we might be blown out over the ocean,
 Allowing for the fact that their course from Kansas City to Manassas was roughly in the shape of a cres- cent, the airmen estimated that they have sailed more than 1900 miles. It was Honeywell's one hundred and seventy-fifth trip in a balloon His first venture was made twelve years ago. His longest previous
