Government Would Dissolve the xI 4O.- O0O.Oe0 C6rrOrati0n-t Tech.
 nieal Defense.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-Searching eX~ animation into the workings of the dual personality" of the Internation- al Harvester Company of New Jersey, and efforts of Clarence s. Funk, gen. eral manager of the company, to prove by figures that competition eX- ists in all departments of the com pany s business were embraced in to- days hearing of evidence in the feder- al suit to dissolve the $40, ,0OO, 900 corporation
 The secondary personality" of the New Jersey company is the Interna- tional Harvester Company, of Ameri- ca, through which all the products of the former are marketed. The con- tention that the New Jersey company. which does the manufacturing, does not engage in interstate commerce, promises to figure prominently in the trial of the case and the techni- cal defense against the government charges ,
 Mr. Funk submitted a typewriter list of the Harvester company's prod ucts, showing the number of com petitors in tine sale Of each.
 R. C. Haskins, president of the h. ternational Haryaster Company, of America, told on the witness stand before Special Examiner R. s. Fay Tor, how his company marketed the entire $100,000,O00 annual output o1 the New Jersey company which does only the manufacturing. The Inter- national conducts both the foreign and domestic sales.9
 The New Jersey corporation, which is combination of the Mccormick, Deering and other manufacturing con- cerns grouped in the alleged trusts, sells all it's machines to the Inter- national Harvester Company, of Am erica, at the mills and the latter, the selling company, is merely an instru- ment in conspiracy in restraint of trade, according to the government complaint
 The $1,0O0,0OO capital stock of the American company is held in trust for the stockholders of the New Jer- sey corporation of which Cyrus H. Mccormick is president.

'C0Y. WILSON GETS AMONG THE PEOPLE Delivered Half a Dozen Speeches and Reached

 Night.

Tells College Lads tO Take Them selves Seriously So That Others
 May Take Them Seriously.

Sioux Falls, s. D.. Sept. 17-Gover- nor Wilson and his party arrived at Sioux Falls shortly before 9 o'clock tonight. It had been raining all day and the streets were like rivers. Au- tomobiles conveyed the party to the auditorium which had been crowded to the doors for an hour The hall contained about 5000 men and wo- men. An overflow meeting was held in the theater across the street. Gov ernor Wilson received a tremendous ovation and was immediately intro- duced. He started along the lines of his afternoon speech at the state fair at Sioux City, arguing that the way to handle monopoly is not to per- init the government to enter into partnership with it as means of reg ulating monopoly and proposed by the third party platform, but to de- stroy it completely. This. the gover- nor said, the Democratic party, would undertake to do. The governor took up the United States Steel Cor poration as an illustration.
 Governor Wilson today delivered half a dozR campaign speeches. Sioux City, Ia, turned out en masse to pay homage to the Democratic can didate The governor was first talk en to the Morningside College on the outskirts of the city, where he met the six hundred students assembled on the campus. A series of wild col lege yells had tendency to make the school master candidate feel perfectly at home. Governor Wilson, speaking to take themselves more seriously, that others might take them serious ly, to join the ranks of those who make determined efforts and act upon opinion and not to remain boys too long lest they miss a running start in life.
 The candidate was next taken on sightseeing tour of the city and then to the auditorium, where a reception was held. Here he was initiated into the tribe of the Sioux and made to subscribe to pledge that "on the sacred tomahawk and pipe I solemn ly promise and VOW that henceforth and forever I shall endeavor to be a good individual whether successful or unsuccessful in the quest of moose or any other game
 The reception committee then en- tertained the governor and his party at luncheon at the Hotel West, after which he was driven to the Interstate Fair Ground. The governor had not addressed larger or more enthus- iastic audience in his campaign than that assembled in the grandstand at the paddock of the racing grounds. Canton, s. D., was the last stop be- fore reaching Sioux Falls. At Canton there was about 1,5O0 about the rail- road line. The governor spoke to them about the manner in which the rail- road companies had obtained control of the railroad affairs.

partment of agriculture, originator of
the serum treatment for hog cholera,
spoke to 315 farmers at four points in
the county. The work has opened up
with enthusiasm and there is every
prospect that crop conditions in Gin

they have ever been before. Profess
sor Mosher proposes to devote himself
particularly to three lines of work
during the coming year, outlining his
plans as follows:
The securing for distribution of
we'll bred seed corn. On the county
farm we will plant side by side and
try out about 100 of the best types of
corn now being grown in Clinton

appropriated $500 to aid in this work.
We will urge the growing of alfalfa
and by cooperative tests on the farms
of the county, will demonstrate the
best methods of growing alfalfa.
We will urge the vaccination for
hog cholera, especially with view of
