 An interview in the Boston Herald April 23 with pr Wiley is as follows:
 Yes. said it. Why shouldn't l have said it? Would l not be an in erate from my head to my toes if 1 did not say it.?
 Thus did pr Wiley, pure food cham pfon. until recently chief chemist of the department of agriculture. reiter- ale his hope that President Taft would be reelected He reiterated when shown copy of q statement which he had been represented as making in Cincinnati few days ago. That state meut ran as follows:
 President Taft is the one man who stood between me and destruction at Washington. When efforts were being made to asSasSinate me Taft proved my only protector He stood by me, and l am grateful to him. l hope he will be re elected
 Will you tell about the origin of the RemScn board :" was asked.
 Why, guess SO" came the answer promptly. Il wore muzzle becoming Iy for a long time. Perhaps the truth ought to be told about that board right now.
 Tt was appointed by MT. Roosevelt as president of the United States either on the suggestion to him of the secre tary ot agriculture or by his Own sug- gestion to the secretary. The actual announcement was made by the secre tary of agriculture. was told that Mir Roosevelt selected Dr. Remsen and that Dr. Remsen selected his assOci- ates
 What about appropriations for the support of the board and the authority of law for its appointmentE' was asked.
 The appointment was by the exec utice order of President Roosevelt" replied pr Wiley. Every dollar paid to the Remsen board for all of it's work has been paid from appropriations made to the bureau of chemistry for the purpose of enforcing the food and drugs act

THE ROOSEVELT CAMPAIGN.
Appeal Now Taken From People to the
 Bosses

Step by step Theodore ROOsevelts campaign for q renOmination for third term is falling by the wayside. At first Mir Roosevelt made a direct bid for instructed delegates for him self This effort met with such fee hle response at the hands of the Re uublicans throughout the country that Senator Dixon and his other managers undertook tO set up fake contests throughout the south as an evidence that Mr. ROOsevelt's campaign was making even greater progress than IL really was. Now. having been de feated in their purpose of securing q majority of the national Republican convention and having had their con tests in the south shown up" in their true light. the Roosevelt managers have turned their attention to persuad- ing delegates actually instructed or pledged to President Taft 10 bolt their instructions. In other words. instead of living up 10 their professed inten- ton of appealing to the people Mir Roosevelt and his managers are now SI'ltdlItl- ullCIllN tO tiIG POlIIiNoi bosses" to help them out of a hole.
 The work done by Ormsby McHarg with respect to persuading southern delegates to bolt President Taft has met with a warm reception in the south The southern leaders of the Republican party are thoroughly in suited and incensed at the attitude as sumed by Mir ROosevelt's representa- tives toward them and their associates. and they declare that southern Repub- Hcans are not mere chattels to be bought. sold and delivered on call They have instructed themselves to vote for Taft by their own free will and vOlitiOn. and vote for Taft they will in the national convention Among the Republicans of the south who have roundiy denounced the methods of Dixon and McHarg are Pope NJ Long and Senator Sloan of Alabama. Lee Brock of Tennessee. Colonel Henry S Chubb of Florida, Henry s. Jackson oi Georgia and T. l.. Grant of South Car olina.

 IF AMATEURS
Presentation of "Stradella" at the Arizona School of Music Delighted a Large Audience of the Home Folks

The first performance Of "Stra- della" was given last evening 10 large audience, despite the number of other entertainments in the city The opera, popular light musical romance, was beautifully staged and extremely well rendered The cos tuning was all that one has been taught to expect in Italian plays.
 Miss Anna Marie Luke looked very charming as Leonore and sang in d high sweet soprano voice Both her solos and the duets which she sang with Sradela were beautiful. Leon Tolleson as Stradella had a difficult role to fill but he filled it in a perfectly natural manner. His singing was excellent, though more force and volume of tone would be an improvement
 The two villains looked barharous indeed and could easily get a di- ploma from a school of bandits. one of the best numbers of the opera was the duet they sang.
 The dancing was especially good: the small girls attracting much ap- plause for the dainty graceful man. ner in which they performed. Miss Novinger as the Jumping Jack wls the acme of Iightness. agility and grace.
 The music Of the opera is very catchy and pretty throughout and under the able direction of Prof. Nuetzel was well rendered. In fact Prof Nuetzel, Miss Doris Kingman, director of dancing and Mrs Shirley Christy deserve the thanks of the community for the excellent eXecu- tion of the performers, the staging of the opera and the delightful music.
 The opera win be repeated tonight.

PENSION RECORDS SHOWN.
Congressman Praise Taft's and De-
 nounce Roosevelt's Acts.

Oon9 9reSsmen Fraise arts ana De
 nounce Roosevelt's Acts.
 President Taft's attitude toward pen. SionS for the veterans of the civil war has been consistently misrepresented throughout this entire campaign by his opponents. Recently Representative Cyrus Subway of New Hampshire, for many years chairman of the con- mittee on pensions of the house of rep resentativeS, went on record publicly in favor of President Taft and against MT. Roosevelt, passing his judgment solely on the pension record of the two candidates. Now Representative Isaac R. Sherwood of Ohio, author of the dollar day" pension bill, with which every old soldier is familiar, adds his testimony in favor of President Taft and against Colonel Roosevelt on the pension record. The fact that General Sherwood is a Democrat only adds to the effectiveness of his statement. as his sole interest between Republican candidates is to see to it that the in terests of the old soldiers are fully and amply protected. In a recent letter to his brother he wrote:
 What I said about President Taft was that I believed he would sign a moderate pension bin that would cost about Sl5.O00,- OO0 But President Roosevelt for all the time my dollar day pension bill was pending in the pension committee. for al most four years, would not allow the bill to De reported to the house He favored, however. liberal pensions for the Spanish h war soldiers Your devoted brother
