MILITANT SUFFRAGETTES
CALLED DANGEROUS CRANKS

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-The militant
suffragette will hereafter be regarded
by the New York city court as a
dangerous crank" if the ruling of
Chief Magistrate Kempner in the case
of Miss Maud Malone, who inter
rupted Governor Wilson at a Brook
lyn meeting, is observed. The magis-
trate said:
But let it be known to women of
your peculiar temperament that we
will not tolerate lawless methods, and
that fanatics of either sex will be
dealt with as severely as possible by
our magistrates, while rational propa-
ganda for any proper cause will be as
free as the air. If such conduct as
yours is suffered to go unpunished the
number of dangerous cranks will
multiply, as also the number Of
mayors, presidents and other public
men who will be carrying bullets in
their bodies"

ly fight followed.
While both animals We're bleeding
profusely, Rice arrived with his
double -barreled shotgun. After await
ing an opportunity to fire without en-
dangering the stock, he opened with
both barrels. Horribly wounded by
both the bull and the charge of shot,
the catamount leaped the fence and
then fell dead.
The animal weighed 29h pounds and
measured 4 feet 2h inches. Rice re-
ports that wildcats have been plenti-
full in his neighborhood of late.

HANMONTON. Oct. 24--Despite
unfavorable weather here there was
an overflow attendance at Bellevue

ocratlc candidate for Congress, and
the Democratic county nominees, ar
rived. In addition to the candidate
there were present Sheriff Joseph p

W. F., Murray, of Maasa chusetts, and
the list of speakers also included T..
Parks Duncan and Elwood c. Weeks,
Democratic candidates for the AS
sembly.
There was no band or demonstra-
ton before the meeting. as the lead
ers of the Wilson movement decided
that such artifices were not neces-
sary. The most significant instance
of the strong Democratic sentiment
in Hammonton and Vicinity was fur
nished by the abandonment by tho
Republicans of mass meeting also

KNOX APPEALS FOR
TAFT'S REELECTION
Points TO Presidents Foreign
Policies and Worlds Peace
as Achievements.

WASHINGTON, Oct PA politi-
cal statement by Secretary of State
Knox issued today sets forth his rea-
sons why Mr.. Taft should be retained
in office as chief executive. The sec
retary applauded the Presidents for
eign policy. laying. especial stress on
the maximum and minimum" fea-
ture of the tariff program, and de-
clared that in the field of striving
for world peace President Taft's
name must be written very high
He referred especially to the afbi-
tration treaties negotiated with Great
Britain and France and to the ad-
ministration' interference to prevent
war and bloodshed in Central Amer
ica.
These more idealistic phases of
our diplomacy said Secretary Knox,
should, | think. make especial ap-
peal. The materialistic appeal to all
our industries and producers of every
sort who share in the prosperity of
the country is too evident further 10
dwell upon"
In extollipg the foreign policy of
the administration Mr.. Knox dwelt
on the very real relation" that he
said existed between such a~policy
and the prosperity of the American
wage Garner
For more than two years Mexico
has been the scene of revolution and
disorder, imposing severe strain
at times upon good relations between
the two countries. The pressure for
intervention has been great Tempo
rary political advantage might have
been won during the present CAM
paign by more spectacular attitude
toward the Mexican situation, but
the President has, with answering
determination, set his face against
anything smacking of utilizing our
foreign policy in domestic cam
paign.
In the sphere of practical peace
measures during President Tafts ad-
ministration, the influence of this
government has actually prevented
or stopped three or four wars, to
say nothing of the benign influence
of dollar diplomacy as expressed in
the Nicaragua and Honduras con-
ventions. These conventions, un-
fortunately, met much the same op-
position as the great arbitration
treaties. and they remain unacted
upon. One resul. has been the re-
Gently bloody warfare In Nicaragua
which the influence of the United
States has happily now been able to
bring to close"

ment in a report of the commission
ers of accounts to Mayor Gayner,

NEW YORK, Oct. Blowing TO in

In January last silver bars were

slightly above 65 cents an ounce. The
reason given for the upward move

TRENTON. Oct. 24.-The statement
of Governor Wilson that the reason
for his failure to have the corpora :

that the Republican majority in the
Senate in the first year of his ad-
ffI1nistration and a Republican Legis-
iatuTe in the second year made such
revision Impossible is not to go un-

Gsvernor Wilson made the statement
In reply to the charges of Theodore
Roosevelt that New Jersey was re-
sponsible for the laws that enabled
the law breaking corporations to do

Wilson had done nothing to remedy
the condition.
Tho records of the last two Legis-
fHfures show that law providing for
the revision of the corporation laws
was passed by the Senate both at the
SESSION of 1911 and at the session of
ag12. In 1911 the corporation revision

in the ranks Of the regular Republi-

made apparent every day by the ef-
forts OF the machine leaders to bridge
the gap with local issues in order to
save their county candidates.
The county is conceded to Roose-

concerned and followers of the col
onel expect to even beat Wilson out,
in spite of the fact that the Governor
carried the county two years ago.
They declare that Progressive Re-

to the executive chair at that time
and that this year there will be a
surprising detection in his vote, as
the Democratic strength has been
