leatured the - g session.
During tf - Idssion of the off,
GERS repo' 8 afternoon in an exc
cutive g heated debate follow
ed r ~ /es to the attitude of the
va /arty national platforms and
1t branches Of the federal gov

respect to parcels post, anti-gambling
legislation, restriction Of undesirable
immigration, more liberal appropria-

al credit system and the threat of a
division Of markets.
During the discussion of the need
of developing the science of market
ing and the failure Of congress to re-
spond to legislative demands Of the
farmers for this and other legislation,
the question Of the leaders and men,
bership taking some such hand in
practical politics as that taken by the
American Federation of Labor and
previous farmers organizations be-
came a very lively topic
Col. r. F. Duckworth Of Union
City, Ga, editor of The Farmers
Union News and former national
president Of the union, denounced the
economy of the present Democratic
house in dealing with the farmers and
it's refusal to join the senate in es-
tablishing division that would speed
up the marketing process and bring
| about a closer relationship between
the producer and the consumer
the colonel finished his argument
with the statement:
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia

three times a bill this last session
for the establishment of bureau Of
| markets only to have it turned down
each time by the Democratic house.

Warrington, Sept 4.-President
L; t 10 is laid up at the White
House tonight with a sprained ankle
and a touch Of gout, is reported to
have cOnfided to his friends that he
considers yesterdays result in Ver-
mont Encouraging" He is apparent
ly the only administration man here
who takes that view.
The Washington Star. a strong ad-
minstration paper, says in it's leading
editorial this afternoon: 1.-The Ver-
mont figures speak for themselves
and tell very plain story. A house
divided against itself cannot stand.
The result cannot but hearten the
Democrats everywhere. In States
where the Democrats are not now to-
gether, they will get together, and
where together they will work with
the greater energy and success. Will
men who still call themselves Repub-
licans and yet feel unfriendly to Mr..
Taft continue in a course certain, if
pursued to the end, to bring in Mr..
Wilson and a Congress Democratic in
both branches? In States where the
two old parties are on something like
even terms, such a division as has
just been shown in Vermont will give
the Democrats an easy thing"
Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, a Bull
Moose leader just back from Vermont.
after making speeches there for
Roosevelt, expressed great pleasure
over the result in that State, but re-
fused to predict the election Of Roose-
welt in November.
Senator Bourne. Of Oregon, who re-
fused to bolt with Roosevelt, at Chi
cagO and whom the former President
last Monday mentioned as being one
of 1Zhe only two members of Congress
who ever approached him in behalf
of the Standard Oil Company, today
announces that he will support Roose-
velt for President. 1t looks like a case

be offered. Mr.. Cassells insisted upon
the reading of the instructions from
John Gary Evans 10 the county chair
man and the resolution adopted by
the State executive cdommittee. Mr..
Gunter insisted that no new matter
could be gone into, but was over
ruled when MI, Cassells replied that
he was there to abide only by the
resolution Of the State executive COM
mitee. which was plain. He did not
KNOW whether the committee would
obey Instructions or not, he said, but
he pointed out that the county chair
man was directed to get all the evil
dence ne could and he was there to
see that he got some evidence. The
b'ease men then undertook to fight
Mr.. Cassells on points OF parliament-
airy law but he fought them down. and
when he stated that his protests ap-
piled not to one box. but to the whole
county. DIR. l.. B. Etheredge Of Wag
ener. Blease man and former

heatedly that he 1as here to repre-
sent the people Wagener and de-
clared that any nan who stated
there were irregularities at the wag-
ener box "is liar and an internal
skunk"

man who says that and tell him to
