Challenge not Accepted
Governor Wilson Stands for
a Presidential Primary
But the Other Candi-
dates are Silent

SPECIAL. Only Woodrow Wilson
among the Democratic aspirants
for the Presidency has endorsed
the presidential preference pri-
mary. AS yet neither Speaker
Clark, Gov. Harmon, Chairman
| Underwood, or any of the others
except Gov. Wilson has suggest
led that the nomination be left to
the will Of the Democratic voters.
The challenge issued by Mr.. w.
F. McCombs of the Wilson Cam
paign managers for a presiden-
tial primary has not been taken
up by any Of Wilson S opponents.
| Neither Clark nor Harmon nor
| Underwood is on record in favor
of the election and instruction of
delegates to the national conven-
tion by a vote Of the party voters.
On the other hand, Governor
! Wilson is plain spoken'i in advoc-
acy of the presidential primary.
He believes in the direct primary
as the cure for the evils of boss
ism and machine politics and he
believes that it should govern the
nomination Of all candidates for
Office from president down to
constable.
That this advocacy of presi-
dental primary is not new
thing engineered by Governor
Wilson S present nation wide pop
ularity and taken up as a sure
means to get the nomination, is
Eproved by the fact that it was a
feature Of the first legislative
fight Gov. Wilson undertook af-
ter he became Governor Of New
jersey Since Gov. Wilson is the
only Democratic candidate who
is candidate in every State of
the Union, and since he is oppos-
ed by field that has divided the
States in sections and allied
against him, his friends natur-
ally believe that a primary would
nominate him. His enemies be
lieve the same thing, that is why
they are not for the primary, |
and that is why no reply has been
received to the McCombs chall-
enge.
But no such motive of expedi-
ency can be assigned as explain
ing Gov. Wilson's $. attitude. When
he was elected Governor and the
legislature convened, his first
fight was to persuade the legis-
lature to respect the will of the
party voters who had nominated
James E. Martin for Senator in
direct primary. James Smith,
Jr., the old-time-boss whom Pre-
sident Cleveland had connected
with the perfdy and dishonor of
the emasculation of the Wilson
Tariff Bill, wanted to etaside the
primary and come back to the
Senate. Gov. Wilson stood for
the primary and won.
The next thing he did was to
get a bill introduced to change
the election laws and to provide
for direct primaries for every Of
ficer from President down to
constable. The machine leaders
told him they wouldn't let it
pass, and a Democratic confer
ence was called to vote the bill
down. The bosses had the votes
to do it, too. That is, they had
them when the conference was
called.
Gov. Wilson got himself invit-
ed to the conference. He made ;
a three-hour speech in favor of J
the direct primary bill. When he {
had finished, the conference that
had met to vote the bill down
voted it up as a party measure /
and carried it on to victory. The 5
people and not the bosses, there
fore, will instruct delegates in S
New Jersey this year. It was an i
effective speech and it showed

FOURTH YEAR
Taft Made This Sort of Man
a Federal Judge
printed by Request)


its emphatic protest against the
by President Taft
of Ex-Governor Richard E. Sloan
to be the federal judge of the
new district created by the ad-
mission of Arizona as state.
The record of Sloan proves him
to be not only corporation hirel-
ing but utterly destitute Of any
sense of honor or justice. The
Appeal has the facts in his case
and is prepared to show that his
appointment would add still fur
ther to the disgrace and discredit
of the federal judiciary.
The following statement pre-
pared by a gentleman Of the
highest integrity and who is on
the ground and ready to.prove it
by the record and by documen-
.tary evidence, speaks for itself:
A negro porter of a Pullman
car on the Santa Fe railroad at
tempted rape on a woman pas
senger whom he had choked into
insensibilitv. Being discovered
in the act he was seized by the
train crew and turned over to the
sheriff Of Mohave county who
met the train by telegrrphic ap-
pointment. The case was duly
tried, the fact clearly establish
ed and a verdict of guilty render
ed within few minutes. The
brute was sentenced to fourteen
years at hard labor in the peni-
tentiary, maximum under the
law.
'But under the law the Pull
man company is responsible for
the lives and safety of its pas
sengers. The Pullman company
realizing this offered the woman
So, 500 to settle the case. On the
advice Of. her attorney this was
-
refused and suit was brought for
$25, 900.
Promptly the Pullman com
pany, backed by the Santa Fe
Railroad compay and the district
attorney, carried on in tones so
low that no person in that court
room heard them but the speak
ers themselves, and the Judge in
a voice so low that the sheriff,
sitting beside the prisoner with
in the rail, had to prime his ear
to catch, said, The Prisoner Is
Discharged.
'At a nod from two strangers
who were standing in the door
way the prisoner accompanied
them hurriedly out Of the build
ing and to a waiting engine and
cabOOSe two blocks distant and
was rushed out of the territory
and disappeared.
mot juror was empanelled,
not witness examined, nothing
was done that suggested trial,
but the prisoner was discharged
and spirited out of the state so
that the Pullman company would
have a clear track to beat a poor
woman who had been outraged
beyond measure out Of a just and
legal claim.
IF any one doubts the auth
enticity of this case he has but
to examine the court records of
Mohave county of Arizona for
the year 1907. /,
THE district attorney found it
both convenient and profitable to
leave the community shortly
afterward and take up the prac-
tice of Law in Los Angeles under
the protecting wing of the Santa
Fe railroad.
'And the judge? Why he was
made governor of the territory of
Arizona by the grace Of Presi-
dent William Howard Taft, and
now that his term has expired
and Arizona has been admitted
to the. union as state, the said

the bell hop will make you laugh
everv minute he is on the stage,
and there are very few minutes
throughout the entire three acts
of this hilarious musical comedy

it in all, The Bell Hop" is a
scream from start to finish, the
characters are funny, the stage
settings are attractive, the girls
are pretty and the music catchy.
During the play several vaude-
vile acts are presented, the fea-
ture of which is THE 12x2

Industrial Agent o. Frisco Here

MI. L. - w Nus, OiiS Ah"A >ASN't
tural and Agricultural Commits
sioner OF the Frisco, was in Tu-
pelo with his car of exhibits this
week and spoke to a small but IN
terested crowd of farmers and
business men at the court house
Tuesday night Mr. White talked
for more than an hour along lines
Of improvement, diversitieation,
and advantages that we Southern
people, Lee county people, have.
He compared the labor OF our
country with that of the north
and west, and the value OF lands
in this country with that of the
great wheat and corn belt, show
ing that our advantages are far
superior to the advantages OF the
western or northern farmer.
Among other things he men
toned that while IN the month of
October our flowers are blooming,
Vegetation growing, cattle graz
ing on the green pastures, and
The farmer enjoying the bracing
October weather, the northern
farmer, in Canada, is housed IN
and feeding his cattle in very
loosely built barns. Snow and
ice have already made its visits
40 such countries. Ten years
ago. he said, he visited Winepeg,
then a small village, but now it is
city, with more than 200, 600
hustling, rustling people. People
who are busy for twelve months
ia the year, Notwithstanding the
fact that snow and ice surround
them for half that time. Yet the
arming lands are much higher
in price than our lands and only
one or two crops are produced on
Them, while we can grow a null
tltude Of crops.
The trouble lies in the fact that
we are not willing to take hold
nd do what is necessary to build
10 our country. Mr.. White made
llention of the fact that the Hol-
Il Springs Experiment Station
Las done wonderful things in the
way of filling gullies, and build
ing up soil, yet he was told by
the head of that station that not
more than a half dozen farmers
cf Marshall county would ever
,isit his farm. to inquire into
the great work being doEe by
the state for the benefit of the
very men who would not take
any interest in the matter.
Again. Mr.. White called at
tention to the fact that we south
ern farmers can grow two crops
OF Irish potatoes in the same
ear. and one of sweet potatoes,
while the northern farmer can
grow but one of Irish potatoes
and none of sweet. This fact
within itself is evidence that any
man who will work and use good
Judgment can not only live we'll
but make good money farming
Look at the great Memphis, Blr-
mingham, Mobile and st. Louis
markets where 40 per cent of the
people never have milk, butter,
potatoes or meat to eat. Look at
the prices now offered for such
products, and the facilities for
hauling same into those markets.
There are seasons when such a
thing as sweet potatoes can't be
found on these markets. and yet
there is plenty of soil around
Tupelo that will grow 200 bush
els of-this crop per acre. Think
of it, and the price for two years
has not been below so cents per
bushel, and from that to S1.5O.
There are 50 many good le: sons
to learn and the opportunity Is so
great for learning them.
