Washington, Aug. S.-Some tariff statistics which President Taft's friends will use in the coming cam paign in his defense of the Payne Aldrich tariff law have just been com piled by the bureau of statistics.
 Up to June 30, the end of the fiscal year, the Payne law had been in op- eration just 95 months, which happens to be the total period of the opera ton of the Wilson law. The figures show that whereas merchandise to the value of $30,0O0,000 came in duty free under the Wilson law S67,0070 900 is the total for the Payne law in the same period.
 The per cent of importations that came in free under the Wilson act was 4SS, under the Payne 512 The average rate of ad valorem duty un- der the Payne law is 412, under the Wilson 42S The average amount of revenue from customs receipts per month under the Payne law has been 26.5.

The Prescott daily news., 1912-08-08

St Louis, Aug. S.-The nomination of William S. Cowherd of Kansas City for governor by the Democratic voters is practically assured, though returns are incomplete. Although Elliott w Major carried the country districts by surprising majorties, the Cowherd vote in St. Louis, Kansas City and St Joseph could not be overcome.
 Major is claiming victory, declaring the remote counties as yet unrepOrted will nominate him. Cowherd has a majority of 30,000 in the three cities Major probably will have 10000 ma jority in the rest of the state, leaving Cowherd a clear majority of 10000.
 John c. Mckinley. has been nopi- hated by the Republicans for gov ernor by large majority, considering the light vote. The effect of the Bull Moose movement is seen in the falling off of Republican votes.
 Majors strength in counties which Cowherd carried four years ago gave his supporters new hope.
 Boone county, which was a Cow herd stronghold four years ago. went for Major by from 1,200 to 1,500. Clin- ton. which Cowherd carried over Ball by 150, went for Major. The attorney general carried Cole by 600. The same county gave Cowherd 400 in 1908. Cooper, in which Cowherd led by 50 votes, is Majors by POO. De Kalb, Iron, Mercer, Miller. Pettis, Vernon and Henry counties, all of which Cow herd carried in 1908, give substantial majorities to Major,
 Houchin carried Andrew county by the following vote: Houchin, 265; Major, 21S; Cowherd, 206. By ma jority of over Cowherd, Houchin also carried Livingston county.
 Bolte has carried Franklin and War ren counties.
 Ball. according to the returns, has not carried county.
 William k. Painter Is far in the lead for lieutenant-governor on the Demo cratic ticket, and will be nominated over Alexander R. Boone.
 Hiram Lloyd, the Republican candl- date, had no opposition.
 Other State Officers.
 Heavy ma1orities in the cities prob ably will give the. nomination for state treasurer to John B. O'Meara, though Edmund P. Deal is rolling up big ma jorities in the country. The Republic ans have nominated Edward Schrantz.
 McAlester is leading Barker by small margin in the race for attorney general. William c. Irwin of Jeffer- son City will be the Republican candi- date.
 Rube Oglesby. Democrat, and John H. Curran, Republican, appear to be sure of their parties nominations for railroad and warehouse commissioner.
 For the nomination for state aud itor. John P. Gordon, the Democratic incumbent, and Green B. Greer, Re publican, had no opposition.

Mrs. Mary Winchell Baker. De-
troit'h oldest suffragist now in her
seventy-seventh year, was instrumen-
tai in having the first petition pre-
sented TO the Michigan Legislature,
July. 1867, by the Hon. l.. Norris, ask
ing the extension OF the franchise to
women. Mrs. Barker Is a striking
illustration of the futinty of the argu-
ment that male relatives are able to
sufficiently represent women political
ly. sor Mrs. Barker has had no male
relatives for 48 years. In what way
have her opinions been represented?
MTs. Barker's ancestors have been
upon American soil for 276 years.
On her fathers side her relatives
were all patriots (American) from the
Revolutionary war down to the Cuban
war. Her husband died a member Of
Co c., of Gen Duffield's regiment,
but this American woman Is denied a
voice In her couhtrys welfare while
ignorant Negroes and foreigners are
permitted the rights of citizenship.
Mrs. Baker says:
II feel have right to rest my
feet upon American soil as a citizen,
and a right TO help make laws | must
live under and obey"
Can any fair-minded person contest
the opinion of this frail little woman
who Graves the right of citizenship
before leaving this earthly plane?
