(From Saturdays Daily
Speaking for more than two hours
at the courthouse last night, United
States Senator McCumber made what
was without doubt the most forceful
and eloquent appeal for republican
party loyalty presented in the state
during the campaign of 1912. His ad'
dress was devoted principally to the
farmers, and his arguments for the
support of President Taft were among
the strongest and most forceful yet
heard here. Senator McCumber said
among other things:
Il think President Taft made mis-
take in his support of Canadian reci-
procity, but his motive was honest and
sincere. I believe he now sees it was
stake, but he is not a political trim
mer and is not trying to escape his
responsibility for an error by saying:
You are liar, never said it,
But how about Mr.. Wilson and the
democratic platform? Mr.. Wilson de-
clares absolutely in favor of Canadian
reciprocity, condemns the democrats
who voted against it's repeal, and the
democratic platform declares against
any protection upon any of the neces-
sa-ies of life, which of course means
food products. So, We have Taft
standing on republican platform
which is against reciprocity on one
side, and Mr.. Wilson standing on a
democratic platform and declaring for
free trade in food products.
IF we are sincere in our opposition
to reciprocity, we are bound to sup
port Mr.. Taft and the republican ad'
ministration. In the field of actual
progress along every line of human
welfare, in effective acts and not loud
words, Mr.. Taft has achieved more
than any president since the days of
Lincoln. He stands for sane progress
along sane lines.
Effect on the Farmer.
There was never a time in the his
tory of the United States when CIV
en- amount of expended energy on the
farm would bring as great return as
it does today. There never was a
time when a bushel of wheat, barley,
corn, rye, when dozen of eggs, a
pound of butter, spring chicken,
COW, a steer, a sheep, horse or a
hog would purchase as much as it
does today. What part has our protec-
tive policy had in producing this re-
suit? That system in forty years has
changed this country from condi-
ton in which two men were produc-
ing the food for one man to eat, to a
condition where one man is producing
the food for two men to eat, and that
is most important. That system has
built up vast cities and mighty popu-
lations to consume the farmers prod
ucts right at home and not from
5000 to 5000 miles away.
Comparative Purchasing Power.
1.-The number of bushels of corn
that would sell for 500 un der the Nc
Kinley law sold for $73 under the Will
law. The same number of
bushels of corn that sold for 500 un-
der the Wilson-Gorman law sold for
Sill under the Dingley law. }

HILLTOP NINE TO
REPORT TODAY FOR
OUTDOOR PRACTICE
Battery and Field Candi-
dates Will Be Out for
First Time.

Coach Sprigman, of the Georgetown
University baseball team will give the
members of the Hilltop squad their
first outdoor practice of the season this
afternoon and not only will the battery
candidates be ordered 10 report for the
open air workout, but also the candi-
dates for the other positions. Although
the condition of the field precludes all
chance Of any real practice, the Blue
and Gray coach believes that all Of tho
men should take advantage of the
warm weather to timber up, conse-
auently the squad will be required to
toss the ball about for an hour or so
this afternoon
Work on the diamond is being rushed
by Manager Haggerty, who has Fitz-
gerald, the Nationals groundkeeper. and
a large squad of assistants busy drain
ing the field and levelng the infeld.
Will Report Today.
Captain Cogan, Billy sitterding. lead
er OF last years aggregation, Frank
Ryan. Manning Gaynor, Jack Connolly,
"lnky' Davis, and Leo Hunt, Of the
1911 team, are expected to report to
Coach Sprigman this afternoon, and
with these veterans on hand the work
Billy Sitterding is slated for the out
field one of the main plans of the
Hilltop baseball authorities is TO have a
fast. heavy hitting outfield, and the
Richmond boy with his ability as a
hitter fits into Sprigmans scheme of
things. With SitterdinG in the pasture
1t will remain for the West End coach
TO find but one more capable fly chaser,
as George Hunt is certain of being able
to retain his position in center field,
being a 900 hitter and fielder OF rare
ability. Frank Ryan will get the first
call for the remaining outfield berth as
he is one Of the veterans of last spring.
In the infeld there will be three po-
sitions to be fought for, first, second
and third: as Capt. Bill Cogan is the
only man who can rest assured of an
infeld berth, and the Blue and Gray
leader covers the short field. "Inky"
Davis will be the choice for the third
! sack.
/ Is Strong Rival.
one Of his strongest rivals is Cam
! paZzi. formerly the star infielder of the
| Fordham Preparatory School team, who
| was a substitute back field man last
fall and a member of the indoor track
team Campazzi was considered to be
one of the best school boy infielders
around New York by many of the New
York critics, being a consistent batter
as we'll as a spectacular performer in
| the field. Many other candidates are
expected out for this place and it may
| be that neither of these clever artists
! will he able to win a berth on the team.
| "Morcy" OConnor and Ed Chapman
are the best known of the men who
have signfed their intention OF trying
out for the initial corner. Chapman
| guarded the sack for Fordham last
! spring and is a likely candidate:
| Connolly, GaYnor, Daley. and Beatty.
