a HARVESTER TRUST "yokea"

In the platform of the progressive
party. under the heading Social and
industrial Justice" We find a pledge
that was evidently written by Geo. W.
Perkins Of the International Harvester
company. Among the many good
things that the progressive party
pledges ito work increasingly in state
and nation for" Is the following:
Tho abolition of the convict con-
tract system; substituting a system Of
prison production for governmental
consumption only"
When we stop to consider that the
manufacture Of Irvine and farm ma.
chinery in the penitentiaries of the
country comes in direct competition
with the harvester trust, and when
we consider further that Mr.. Perkins
Of the harvester trust is the leading
contributor and director Of the Roose-
welt campaign. 1t becomes an easy
matter to trace the foregoing plank in
the progressive party platform to its
source.
The production Of Irvine in the Min
Inesota and North Dakota state prisons
has been a source Of great annoyance
to the International Harvester COM
pany. Three years ago the Il. H. c."
tried to put the North Dakota institu-
ton out Of business by buying up all
the sisal on the market, but Warden
Hellstrom evened things up nicely by
purchasing manila fibre and giving the
farmers q very satisfactory twins
from that material.
1t is a we'll established fact that the
farmers OF the middle west have
saved thousands OF dollars yearly
through the competition of the peni-
Tertiary Irvine plants with the Har-
vester Trust. and 1t is easy to under
stand why the trust is opposed to the
growth OF this industry, which 1t can
not control. buy up or destroy.

petition with the trust. Should this
experiment succeed. as 1t doubtless
will. 1t may be expected that other
will follow the example of
Minnesota.
This must be prevented at any cost
and the progressive party gives the
Trust a distinct promise Ito
work increasingly in state and nation"
to remove his kind OF competition.

NO MckENz,EIsm wANrEn

1.-THE Mckenzie machine is dead and
Hanna is an honest man; let us elect
him."
This fallacy Il heard from the
mouths Of some honest votes in the
present campaign, but the Bowman
Citizen Analyses Mr.. Hanna's peculiar
honesty in this way:
Hanna is honest but so is the
m%alodorous Lorimer Of Illinois. So are
Payne. Aldrich. Dalzell, Cannon, Taw-
ney and the other tools Of big bust
ness with whom Hanna associated
and co-operated in defeating the peo-
pies will in congress. Hanna is hon.
est but so are the other ruthless
gangsters with whom Hanna defeated
the public welfare in the North Dako-
ia Legislature. Honesty does not fit q
man for public Office unless it be the
sort that prevents a man from making
a VIGOROUSLY bad record as a corpor-
alton puppet and an enemy of the
people,"
1.-The Mckenzie machine is Dead"
isn't it? Well. 1t is making about the
most violent and life-like struggle q
dead thing vel made. II it be dead,
North Dakota is happy indeed over
her bereavement, but let her take
good care that it be not resurrected
again. If 1t be not yet dead, for heav-
ems sake let us take the surest meth
cd Of killing it at once.
Common sense teaches US that this
is not by electing a man governor
.who has been for years a part and
parcel of that machine. Hanna's
election means the leaping into the
saddle again of the, Mckenzie ma
chine and the resumption of McKen-
zie dominance over the politics Of the
state. 1t can have NO other effect.

TlNOPLE.
ARTILLERY NEARLYALL CAPTURED
Great Powers Decline to Aid the Tot

ed Daily.

LONDON, Nov 5.-The prospect
that a considerable portion of the
Turkish army will be able to reform
behind the lines Of Tchetalja, the last
fertilization before Constantinonle, is
not altogether excluded, but whether
the Turks will be able to maintain
there any serious resistance 10 the
Bulgarians advance Is question
which permits of doubt.
In the struggle with the allies the
Turks lost more than half their artil-
lery. In fact, the Servians alone
claimed to have captured no less than
300 guns. This will certainly mill
tate against any prolonged stand at
Tchatalja.
In circular note to Turkish am
bassadors abroad the Turkish govern
ment maintains that although embar-
RAISING affairs are not desperate, and
declare that when the allies had COM
PEELED their mobilization Turkey had
barely begun hers. The note insists
that Turkey is still able to maintain
prolonged warfare.
Up to the present hour there is no
sign that anything has come Of the
porte's appeal to the powers for medi-
alton. No replies have been received
at Constantinople and there is little
doubt that when they are received
they will embody declination to
consider the idea Of proposing an
armistice. Apparently Bulgaria is in
no mood to negotiate peace now.
Although fighting is still proceed
/ ing on theTchoriu-Seral line and cor
respondents are sending reports Of
Bulgarian and Turkish successes in
that neighborhood according to which
side they draw inspiration from, the
official announcement from Constan>
tinople that the Turks are withdraw

not to be doubted, and 1t is evident
that this fighting Is merely an extern.

movement of the Turks toward Con-
stantinople.

IN THE
DYNAMITE TRIAL
MlSSlvES OF A SUSPICIOUS
TENOR WRITTEN BY A IA.
Dor LEADER.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. g.
Letters which, the government charg-
ed, showed that Frank c. Webb,
New York, wrote to J. j. Mcnamara
about sending Ortie E. McManigal to
New York and Boston to blow up
works there, were read at the "dyna-
mite conspiracy" trial today.
A letter from Webb was quoted as
showing that Michael J. Young, Of
Boston, was anxious to have "jobs''
done there in the spring Of 1909. and
in reply Mcnamara wrote: II don't
know whether my friend will be able
to get down your way. Find out II
the deal could be pulled of. I'll at
tend to the rest Of it, so no one will
know anything about 1t as to time"
The government asserted that these
letters were referred. to Frank NJ Ry-
an, president Of the Iron Workers
Union, and that Herbert s. Hockin
was sent to Chicago to prepare Nc
Manigal for the eastern trips. Nc
Manigal reported that an opera house
under construction in Boston and a
viaduct in Hoboken, N. j., were
blown up in March, 1909.

$4,000 DECREE
HANDED DOWN
LARGEST ONE IN THE DAVIDSON
cHANcERY COURT FOR
SOME TIME.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 5.-The largest
decree that has been handed down in
chancery court In some time came
yesterday when Chancellor John ALI
son decided that the Fourth National
Bank Is entitled to collect $4,000 and
an added penalty of $4,000 against
]. H. Weaver and the National Surety
Company. The style of the suit is
that of the Kendrick Roam Grain &
Elevator Company and others against
J. H. Weaver and others.
The suit was filed through attor-
neys Stokes & Stokes, and according
to the claims made by the complain
ant, which in this instance consists
of the Fourth National, Weaver, as
the bonded warehouseman of the
Kendrick Roam Company, borrowed
money from the bank on receipts
showing that there was a certain
amount of grain on hand to cover the
loan. Later, it is alleged, the Ken
drick Roam Company failed in husi-
ness, and it is alleged that the re-
ceipts given for the money were
found to be fraudulent.
The penalty of $4,000 assessed
against Weaver and the surety COM
pany is on the ground that the lump
sum of $4,000 was not paid without
suit being thought
