ARE
BEHIND PROTEST
Great Rritain's Appeal Over Panama
Cana. Tolls is Merely 81
a Ruse.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE
charges that American railroads act
ing with Canadian trans-C Continental
lines instigated Great Britain to make
protest against free tolls for Ameri-
can vessels through the Panama can
al, was made to President Taft today
by Representative Knowland, of Cali
fornia.
1T is railroad fight pure and sim
ple,'' said Knowland after his confer
.ence with Taft. Free tolls to American
vessels means the lowering of railroad
rates.
Knowland said Great Britain had
no thought of protesting until Ameri-
can and Canadian. railroads got to-
gether and sent delegation of Can
adams to England.
I'VE built the canal and financed
It," the report declared, land no con-
gress will concede Englands right to
dictate how we shall charge tolls
The Californian said he doubted if
this government would be willing to
submit the question 10 The Hague
tribunal, because all foreign interests
would be against the United States.
President Taft is known to agree
with the state department that Ameri-
can vessels cannot be exempted from
tolls, without violating the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty. State department officials
would not discuss today the detailed
protest from Great Britain expected
tomorrow. The department will for
ward the protest Immediately to the
senate. President Taft may send a
special message with it, giving his
views.

WILSON SHOULD
GO TO BURLINGTON
Wants a Nice Quiet Place Where He
Can Write His Speech In
Peace.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
SEA GIRT, N. j., July 17.-That he
will be obliged to seek some place
where he can keep his presence sec
ret in order to complete his speech
and letter accepting the democratic
presidential nomination was the state
ment of Governor Wilson today He
made it plain that while he welcomed
the many visitors who called to
pledge support and was glad they
came, he believed he would have to
secure absolute quiet SO that he could
get these important matters out OF
the way. The governor said he ex-
pected to confer with National Chair
man McCombs tomorrow and that the
treasurer and vice-chairman of the
national committee would then be an
nounced. It is generally believed
that Henry Mergenthaler of New
York will be treasurer and that Will
liam G. McAddoo will be vice chair
man. The governor said that his rum
ming mate, Governor Thomas r. Mar
shall, Of Indiana will not come to
visit him next Saturday, as had been
planned. The entire democratic house
of representatives is to come here at
that time and because Wilson wants
to talk the campaign over at length
with the Indiana executive, he has
been asked to defer his visit to a
later date.
The governor said today that he
will have public announcement soon
regarding his Intentions in the New
Jersey governorship matter. He wants
to consult with his campaign mana
ger and with New Jersey friends, he
said before he decides whether he
will retain his office or resign.
It is generally expected that he will
not resign, as there are plenty Of pre-
cedents, the most noteworthy being in
the case of Grover Cleveland where a
presidential candidate retained his
office until after the presidential
| election.

This amendment is indorsed by both the Democratic and
the Republican party platforms of this state and is favored
almost unanimously by the people of Wasatch county.
There is provision for the creation of new coun-
ties comply with constitution this amend

This amendment should not be Objectionable TO any
county in the state 1t provides that counties be
created only condition that majority of the people
residing in the part to be created into county and
majority of the people remaining in the old county vote
