tors under the new California pri-
mary law is being held today. Inter

and Roosevelt supporters for control
of the Republican party machinery
of the State.
The ~Progressives contend hat If
they nominate presidential electors
pledged to Roosevelt they will be en-
titled to the party designation on the

hold that the action of the Republi-
can national convention in nomi-
mating Taft committed the State to
the choice of electors pledged to him.

vote is expected In the primary cleo
lions which will be held throughout

poets to name candidates of its own

WANT STOKES OUT
OF G.0.P.CAMPA|GN
Start Fight Against Naming of
Former Governor on Ex-
ecutive Committee.

His support of Roosevelt in the
MAY primaries may have the erect
of keeping former Governor Edward
C. Stokes from membership in the
executive committee of the State Re-
publican Committee. In the past he
has always had a say about the man
ner Of running the campaign. 1t Is
known, however, that strong pressure
will be brought upon former State
Senator Edmund w. Wakelee, the
new chairman, to prevent his re-
naming Stokes as a or THIS
important committee.
Mr.. Wakelee will select both the
executive and finance committees to
act with him in the management OF
the Republican campaign In this
State within the next few days. A
short time ago Stokes was 6he re-
.cipient OF a sharp letter from former
Governor Franklin Murphy, COM
menting upon his activities in the
interests of the Bull Mooser," and
practically reading him out of the
party. There is some curiosity In re-
gard to Just what action Mr.. wake
lee will take.
It is probable that all of the old
members of both committees, with
the possible exception of Mr.. Stokes.
will be renamed to serve during the
present campaign. A new committee
his year to be known as the ad-
yisory board, will be headed by A.
r Leach. Of South Orange. Walter

V. Debs, Socialist candidate for the
presidency, addressing a large crowd
here. declared the Democratic, Re-
publican and Progressive parties rep
resented divisions of the capitalistic
class. Mr.. Debs charged that Colonel
Roosevelt, who eel years ago pro-
nounced Socialists undesirable clti-
zens," had changed his opinion and
had discovered several planks in the
Socialist platform that were good
enough to steal and incorporate In
the platform he wrote for the Bull
Moose party"

NO GOING TO THE HAGUE.

HeO ONGRESS has enacted the bill for the regulation of the
" Panama canal, including its tolls. Included in the bill
is a provision for the free use of the canal by American
coastwise trade, a purely domestic detail. That legislation is
conclusive. Coastwise commerce is to be free from tolls as a
defense of our shipping interests from the power of the com.
hfned railroad interests. Great Britain is to make a formal
demand that the question of our right to provide this protec-
ion to our coastwlse commerce shall be submitted to The
Hague as not affecting our vital interests, honor and indie
pendence. The demand will not be complied with. The ques-
ton does affect our vital interests. 1t means everything to the
American people. 1t is wholly a question of domestic policy.
No foreign ships can engage in our coastwise trade, and, there
fore, ships thus engaged do not in any way come in competition
with British or other European ships. 1t has been evident
enough in the comments of representative British newspapers
hat they are grossly deceived as to the sentiment of this nation
by the criticisms of the rairoadinspired newspapers and CORE
spondents in New York, and if the British government has
saken its cue from the tone of these papers it will find that
II has made a colossal blunder.

posed to the nomination Of a third
party State ticket in Iowa at the con-
vention which Roosevelt will address
here tomorrow.
1.-THE denomination of President
Taft" said Senator Cummins, was
opposed by an overwhelming majority
of the Republicans throughout the
country simply because in his admin
istration he had not done nor said
the things which the great body of
the people believed he should have
done and said. A meagre majority
succeeded In renominating him.
The senior Iowa senator then re-
viewed the basis of representation by
which he claimed States with a small
Republican vote dominate eonyen-
lions and force on the party men un.
desirable to the majority.

THE BULL MOOSE IN FULL PLAY.

eTa HE receptions given to Roosevelt in Vermont and yesterday
in Connecticut and Massachusetts were calculated to
make the other national candidates sit UP and take notice.
A little more of the same in the West, where the Bull Moose
now begins a long and strenuous campaign, may serve to con
vince the Taft managers that they made an egregious blunder
when they trotted out the president of the Standard Oil trust
us a champion to battle with the Bull Moose. There is all the
evidence that the Archbod attack has proved a veritable boom
erang. In st. Louis tonight Roosevelt will meet his first large
Western audience. He will be in the country of Speaker Champ
Clark, where it is said that Democratic Roosevelt clubs have
been organized. The reception accorded to him in that city
should be particularly noted. 1t may be startling.

NEW YORK. Sept. 3.-Miss Mary
c. Francis, of the department of
woman's work of the Republican
National Committee, is feeling rath-
er good over the fact that she got
ahead of the Women's National Will
son and Marshall organization and
the women's organization committee
of the Progressive party in making a
special appeal to actresses for their
support.
Miss Francis says that all women
are politically important, but ac-
t~resses, skilled in the trade of talk
ing, are extremely so, and she is
waiting with a great deal of interest
for the responses she expects to her
appeal.

HITS AT WILSON

KANSAS CITY. Sept. 3.-Woodrow
Wilson's criticism of the minimum
wage scale. feature of the Progressive
platform, brings a sharp retort from
Governor Johnson. The candidate for
Vice-President on the Progressive
ticket said Governor Wilson failed to
comprehend the question he discussed
and asked:
did the tired woman who labors
for a meagre wage, or the employer
who makes it necessary for her to toll
for this unsatisfactory sum rejoice
when they read that statement?"

SECRET COURT HEARINGS.

IN DEMAND upon Congress will be made in December for an
f\ investigation of the federal court at Boston, which or
dered a secret hearing in the dissolution suit brought
by the department of justice against the United Shoe Machinery
Company, one of the most complete monopohes in the country
and having powerful financial connections. Starchamber pro.
ceedings by q judge in a matter of this kind are something new.
The trust is being criminally prosecuted under an indictment
and the court deliberately excludes the public from the hearings
and forbids it to know the evidence. Are there to be no metes
and bounds for a federal court?

Il A Y OMENS clubs, charitable and educational, social and
WV sociological, have been multiplying all over the coun-
try, but it remained for Guthrie, Okla. to introduce
the first women's chamber of commerce in the United States. As

the State, it knows no lines of clique or caste. On its roll are
farmers wives, working girls and wealthy danes, united for a
common object of civic improvement. Woman is fast coming
info her own as a political factor, and why should she not also
take her place as a business booster?

Views On Workmen's Compensation
Commission of Which John Eccles Member Gave Hearing
 at Hartford-Several Appeared and Spoke.

The commission appointed by Gov ernor Baldwin under the law passed at the last session of the general as- sembly to inquire into the matter ot workmen's compensation and insur- anee held a hearing in the old su- preme court room in the capitol, Hart ford, Tuesday. The members of the commission, all of whom were in at tendance, were Talcott H. Russell ot New Haven, Insurance Commissioner Burton Mansfield of New Haven ana John Eccles of Norwich.
 There were only twelve persons present. not including the members of the commission. William Bro Smith and Andrew F. Gates of the Travellers Insurance company Walter s. Schutz, Howell Cheney and Philip E. Curtis of the Connecticut Manu- lecturers association, Thomas J. Cummings and James W. Manning of the Painters union, William Angus, Representative J. R. Ensign of Sims bury and Emil Hallcher of the Car penters' union of Rockville were among those present
 MT Hallcher was the first speaker, and he favored a compensation law.
 Mir. Chensy's Ideas.
 Howell Cheney said the general as sembly is largely controlled by agri- culturalist interests. The matter should be based on justice. and com parative risk. He referred to the de- sirability of extending the law so as to include all branches of work.
 Do you mean domestic service"' ask7d MT, Russell.
 T do." was the reply of MT. Cheney.
 MT. Cheney said the hazard of farm ing is not as great as in industrial occupations He should not take away the defense of personal negligence The defense of fellow servant should be removed. He urged the taking away of the defense of hazard and of fellow servant, leaving defense of per sonal negligence. The Germans have raised a system of social insurance. Recent experience shows that 1t is de- generating into a system of national chafity and relief which is destroying thrift He would accept any system of insurance except state insurance. If anyone is considering a plan of state insurance let him consider the cost and if it would not be better to use the money in guaranteeing compensa ton to the injured individual. The cost would be infinitely less than state insurance and it would be infinitely more effective. He is satisfied that the main factor in the avoiding of acci- dent is the personal attitude of the employer and the subordinate. He urged the consideration of the propo- sition of mutual association of employ CT and employe.
 About Manufacturers.
 Capt. Philip E. Curtis, the secretary of the Manufacturers association, said there are 300 manufacturing companies of the state in the association, includ- ing all the large manufacturers. It includes cotton mills, the Cheney silk mills. iron industries and even chem ists. The association is constantly growing.

Mr. schutz.


 Attorney Walter s. Schutz said he had given the matter a great deal of study and he did not think he knew more than half of what could be earned of it.
 Mir. Russell: That is a result of the study of the subject" Daughter
 Mr. Schutz said when he was in Germany a year or so ago he had experience with the operation of the insurance law in that country. Con nectieut ought to go very slowly on he question. The laws of Wisconsin and Minnesota have not solved the question. The question of negligence was the crux of the whole problem. He did not agree with MT. Cheneys Jews. The industry must carry the cost of risk. The New Jersey law is working fairly well, and the New fork aw was worse than nothing. The question of negligence must be eliml- ated
 Too Much Lawyer.
 Nr. Cheney suggested that the Ques- Con has been looked at too much from the standpoint of the lawyer. It s an economic question. He would include something more than gross negligence such as drunkenness. He
  tributed to the accident. It was i'm portant that the law should be appli- cable to agricultural interests. There must be a definite election by the vorLingman at the time of employ ment.
 Ambulance chasers Get Money.
 Former Street Commissioner Will liam Angus, who is in the building business. said it was ambulance chas- CTS who get the money. There was an accident on 6 building he was erecting n New York the other day and man was slightly injured. He was taken to his home in the ambulance, but before he reached home there were three am bulance chasers there before him.
 From the Painters.
 Thomas J. Cummings, representing the Painters union, said the painters would like a law that gave them pro tection. There are painters killed on account of defective staging and rig ging. Connecticut is the worst state in the union in regard to protection from defective staging and rigging.
 Hard On Small Manufacturer,
 J. R. Ensign, manufacturer of safety fuses and who was a member of the last house referred to the difficulty of getting anything through the general assembly. The agricultural difficulty confronted them. The bill was defeat ed by the fears Of small manufacturers who thought the law would put them out of business. They said they could not insure against accident on account of the high rates of insurance. An employer of four or six persons with whom be works himself has not the same responsibilities as the manufac- turer employing large number of people.
 The hearing was then closed.
