as the Prohibition candidate in 1905
and Debs as the Socialist candidate in
1900, 1904 and 1908. Running for pres.

men.
These FIVE candidates give the voter
q wide range Of choice, varying all the
way from the water wagon to the
band wagon. OF course there may be
a difference of opinion as to which
candidate Is driving the band wagon,
but this is as it should be, for If we
knew to a certainty the contest would

from. OF course four of them will not
be elected, but don't tell any of them
beforehand that he is to be one of the

even be classed under that head. Yet
they are better speakers than the old
school conventional type of orator who
used evolutionary arts, twisted the ca
giles tail and talked for effect. These
leaders of today speak directly and
simply, telling what they mean in the
language understood by the average
man. Nearl.- everybody has heard one
or more of these candidates. not few
have heard all of them, for they have
been campaigning or lecturing for the
past twelve or fifteen years, and some
of them longer. Chain is Chautau-
qua lecturer, Debs was labor advo-
cate before he took up socialism, Will
son has been speaking before college
societies and learned and civic bodies
for many years, while Roosevelt and
Taft have made enough whirlwind
tours of the country to give a large
part of the populace chance to see
and hear them in action. One of the
refreshing things about these 1912 can
didates is that they are all simple and
frank. There is little of the old polit-
ical trick of concealing thoughts, bal
ancing statements and befogging the
issues. The American people will not
stand for that sort of thing now.
They would rather a speaker should
make breaks than lack in candor and
directness. The public wants straight

Shipments in Prohibition Territory.

when offered for transportation from
one state into dry" counties Of an.
other state, regardless of the laws O
the latter state. The supreme cour
of the United States made this rulinS
yesterday regarding proposed shiR
ment from Indiana into dry" ken
lucky counties.
Justice Lurton, who announced th
courts decision, also laid down som
limitations on the jurisdiction of q.
interstate commerce commission. d
upheld the action of shippers in goin.
before judicial tribunals to test tn
validity of laws rather than to the con
mission. He said that the commissio
had jurisdiction over administratiI
questions and matters of fact, but til
courts over questions of general Law
Justice Lurton declared decisions
the supreme court had u1dlsputaby
determined:
That beer and other intoxicating lii
uors are the recognized and legitimal
subjects of interstate commerce.
That no state can forbid any cor
mon carrier to transport such articl
from consignor in one state to co
signee in another.
That until such transportation is &C
cluded by delivery to the consignf
such commodities do not become su
ject to such regulation restraining

He explained that the Wilson a.
which subjected such liquors to sta
although the liquor st
was in original packages, did not app
