TAFT ADDRESSES
NEW JERSEY PEOPLE.

Trenton, n. j.. May 23.-President
Taft began his New Jersey campaign
tonight with speeches at Camden.
Burlington and Trenton.
The president showed the effects Of
his hard campaign through Ohio and
spoke with less emphasis.
At Camden, where he addressed a
crowd that filled the armory. he once
again deprecated the entrance of d
president into political controversy
and attacked Colonel Roosevelt in
the same bitter language he used be-
fore.
Mr.. Taft started on his New Jersey
tour from Philadelphia, where he
spent most of the day. At the Cam
den armory the president spoke
standing at "A table. AT Burlington he
was met by a brigade carrying Chi
ness lanterns and red fire. At Tren-
ton he was driven through streets
lined with cheering crowds. Here in
part Is the presidents speech at Cam
dan. which was much like the other
two delivered tonight:

AT Rebel Front, Corralitos, Mexico.
May 23.---9 p. m.-Agaln General Or
ozcos army Of rebels retreatod before
the deadly artillery fire of General
Huerta. commanding the government
troops AS at Conejos a week ago, the
rebels were unable to Withstand the
hail OF shells that poured into their
ranks and retired north from Rellano
TO this town, which several weeks ago
was the scene of a rebel victory.
For nearly twenty-four hours the
main forces of the government and
rebel troops were engaged In furious
combat in the fierce heat OF the desert.
The losses could not be estimated
but casualties Will be numerous on
both sides. Even in the darkness OF
night the federals persisted In their
artillery fire. General Orozco himself
was awakened by the exploding OF
shells near him and personally d.
rected the maneuvers of his men. Tho
night attack was surprise.
Sharp tongues of fire leaping from
the machine guns and rifles illumt-
mated the hills around Rellano. Tho
bursting of shells everywhere rent the
darkness of the night. The roar OF
cannon was rivalled by machine guns
and rifles. so great was the number
of small arms In operation.
The quantity of ammunition wasted
was enormous but by far the greater
was that OF the federais. The insur-
rectos were cautioned to conserve
their ammunition strength.
Ii was IA day Of maneuvsrinE that
called the host there wes H. the COM
mandcrs of both sides white the
pounding of the guns and the deadly
fire of rifles and machine guns tested
the stamina of the rank and file OF
both armies. The battle was fought
In the valleys around Asunsolo and
Rellano. The federals we're well pre-
pared to hammer away at the big hills
at Rellano. the fortified center Of the
rebel columns.
The rebel artillery was slow to reply
but riflemen concealed in cuts and
trenches in the hills poured into the
advancing infantry thousands OF bull
lets. The federal officers once at
tempted to flank movement toward
the east paving the way with cannon.
Orders were given by rebel officers to
guard the approaches In the valleys.
Meanwhile the government troops
brought into play more machine guns.
but the singing fire of the rebel in
fantry and dismounted cavalry, was
felt by the federals. The shells plowed
their way into the positions stubborn
ter finally had the satisfaction of
seeing this maneuver abandoned.
General Orozco was constantly on
the firing line and was u great inspi-
ration to his men.

H FIRST MAN.

From digging up bones here and
there and coming upon them where he
had been caught in a landslide, or
crushed under game that got even with
hhm in death. the scientists have &C
qaired a fair knowledge of what the
first man looked like.
He was a stocky fellow-this ances
t6r-long faced, big headed, with
primitive teeth and a slant to his
brow like a c~himpanzee's. He stood
erect, which the chimpanzee does not,
except with extreme awkwardness. He
Vas shorter than the average man of
today, and no doubt he was a very
hairy creature and wouldn't be pleas
ant with a strange who didn't see him
first.
yet there were things behind that
sianting head Of his that marked him
OFF from the beasts of the field as
Gavin is differentiated from darkness.
Ike had a taste in art. decorating his
cave with pictures of the bison, the
mammoth and the sabre toothed tiger.
Figures he made in ivory and clay are
recognizable, which il you believe the
AIT critics. couldn't be said OF every
sculptor of today.
Men of today ought not to despise
the first man, or cringe from him for
is nalledness and hairiness and pas
sion for raw meat. He took one Of
the wonderful steps in evolution and
proves, from the evidence, that he did
il bravely, as q man should.

BURNING THE HAMMER.

San Francisco will celebrate Christ

particularly appropriate to the Christ

hammer. The knockers" will 60 UP

idea was originated by The San Fran
cisco Call, which says:
Christmas eve IN San Francisco
will be marked and celebrated by the
cremation of the hammer of knock
cry. That night, through The Calls
efforts, Lotta's fountain and the space
around 1t will belong to all the people
of San Francisco. That place they
will use on that occasion to symbolic

sion and pulling apart and the COM
ing of the new time OF pulling together
for the common good. AS the hammer
goes up in flame and smoke, men and
women will strike hands in a last.

" certain that two or more Of these
states will act f~ayorably.
The amendment providing for the
election Of senators by popular vote
| was submitted to the legislatures in
q resolution adopted BY g early
this year. Two states. Massachusetts
and Montana have ratified the
amendment, no others having voted
thus far. 1t will be possible for thirty
one legislatures to vote on the pro-
posed amendment this winter. and
fifteen in 1914. Out of this number
the thirty-four still needed. 1t is be-
lieved, can be readily obtained. Mon
tana has already endorsed the amend
ment in a referendum at the recent
election. Oregon and Ohio have in
effect a system which amounts to
election by popular vote.
A resolution providing for the elec-
ton of president and vice president
by popular vote has been introduced
by Senator Works. While this pro-
posed amendment has not gotten far
enough to base any predictions for
It's ultimate success. there is no doubt
but that there is a strong sentiment
in favor Of such a method OF election.
1t is an amendment to an amend
ment.
Resolutions have been introduced by
Senator Bristow, providing for the ini-
tiative and the recall of Judicial de-
cisions. The former provides that the
president may submit t o the country
a bill which congress refuses to act
upon ~favorably. The judicial recall
provides that If the decision is that
an act is unconstitutional, congress
at the neX regular session may sub
init the decision to the voters at
the next congressional election, a ma
jority vote o%verruling the supreme
court.
e The limiting of the presidents term
of office to six ears and one term is
in the democratic platform, and has
already been embodied in a resolution.
For more than a hundred years
only three amendments have been
made to the federal constitution. In
the next few years there is a possi-
bility that there will be at least six.

SIG PROJECT FoR N. o.

One Of the most important news
items, to North Dakota readers, in re-
cent years was that article, published in
The Forum Saturday regarding the
eIectrification Of the new Great North
cTr line from New Rockford, west to
Montana. 1t is said that this will be
the, third great project Of the kind in
the country.
For one thing the electrihcation of
this line will give North Dakota a
great amount Of very valuable adj
vertising throughout the I.ation, and
the world. 1t will mean much discus
sion in the magazines, and will do q
great deal to bring to the attention Of
the east--in an incidental way-the
vas reaches of cheap land that are
Yet to be obtained in this state,
Another very valuable feature viii
undoubtedly be the exploitation of the
North Dakota Ignite coal fields, 1t is
POSSIBLE that this fuel will be used in
developing the electric power with
which to manipulate the line. At any
rate this cheap fuel which underlies
the entire section through which this
new line will pass will not be entirely
neglected.
The Great Northern will undoubted-
ly put some of the best engineers of
the country to work experimenting
with this fuel. and this will probably
result in some new form of engine
that win be more of a practical success
in using the power that is latent in
Ignite than any now in use.
These are only incidental benefits
that will come to the state as a result
OF this new project. The direct bene-
fits will probably be prompter and bet
ter service. than is possible with the
steam drawn trains and many other
good features hat time alone viii dis

4 years old and as the two older men

boy slipped out in the store room
where the candy was being packed for
shipment out Over the state.
The boy was a quiet as could be
for quite 3 while, but all of a sudden
the father and Mr.. CLANCY heard
shouts Of laughter coming from the
