Gov. Wilson's original programme to
remain at Seagirt throughout the cam
paign has been abandoned, and already
it has been arranged for him to visit
Chicago and other places.
He will undoubtedly help himself by
his tours. He is a pleasing speaker,
both in manner and language, and there
will be much curiosity to see and hear
him. His campaign is now we'll under
way. 1t has developed nothing of ex-
traordinary interest, but, as a matter of
fact, it seems that both parties will al
low Mr. Roosevelt to enjoy a monop-
oily of the spectacular and explosive.
The literature which the Democrats are
circulating is of the good, old-fashion-
ed, straight political kind, attacking the
record of the Republican party, and
claiming that the protective tariff is
the source of all evil The Republi-
cans are conducting the same character
of campaign, confning themselves to
contrasting Democratic distress with
Republican prosperity, emphasizing the
destruction of business through free
trade, and charging the Democrats with
incompetency and incapacity for gov
ernment Thus far neither side has
thrown any bombs. What may happen
when the campaign gets hotter is for
the future TO unfold

The Washington herald., 1912-09-01

One outcome of the campaign may
be predicted with certainty. Eugene
V. Debs, Socialist candidate for Presi-
dent, will receive the largest Socialistic
vote ever given by that organization
in the history of the country.
In 1892 the Socialists polIed only
oI,ooo votes for their candidate. In
1896, when the Socialists supported
Bryan, the vote went down to .,6,odo. In
1000, when Debs was first a candidate,
he received $4,000 votes. In the last
Presidential campaign he was given
10000. This year, even with Roose-
welt in the field appealing to the social
istic spirit and adopting as his slogan
the socialistic idea i'll Pass prosperity
around" there is no doubt that Debs'
vote will be very large. Socialism is
growing in this country with tremen-
dous strides. 1t is factor in our ma
tional life which must be taken
seriously into account There are So
cialistic papers, with names unheard of
by the average reader, but with ex-
tended circulation among the working
men in congested communities. There
are Socialist orators in all the large
cities. preaching the doctrine that the
hours of labor should be cut so per
cent, and that the wealth which is en-
joyed by the comparatively few should
be distributed among the many. The
high cost of living has been the fertile
soil in which the Socialistic propaganda
has fourished with hothouse rapidity.
Among many of the more intelligent
Socialists there will be a disposition to
support Roosevelt in the hope that, if
elected. he will change conditions. The
rank and file of the party, however, will
vote for Debs. and the result will show
that Socialistic doctrines are spreading
in all directions.

'nESSINuS TRIAL
RESUMED TODAY
DEFENSE IN CASE OF CHEROKEE
MAN ACCUSED OF sTR%NcLlNa
HIS WIFE, SCORED FRIDAY

Cherokee, Sept. 14.--When the trial
of Ernest p. Hesslnius, charged with
having strangled his wife to death,
was resumed today 1t was admitted
that the defense had won q victory in
the testimony Of the last two wit
nesses for the state and counsel for
Hessinius declared that other state
witnesses would produce testimony
equally as weak. Apparently confused
and unable to give definite account
of the happenings after his arrival at
the Hessinius home, Dr.C. w. lille Of
Cleghorn was many times interrupted
by the defense and became so con-
fused that he could not tell how long
the woman had been dead
The defense scored frequently
Throughout his testimony.
While on the stand DR.. Ihle, who
was called to the scene Of the murder
soon after the alarm was given, de-
clared that he discovered footprints,
apparently made by large overshoe,
in the snow on the porch from which
the defense claims Mrs. Hessinius fell
and met death. The state had proven
that the victim had worn shoes at the
time of death.
The last heard from Mrs. Hessinius
by neighbors was the night Of the ira
gedy when she called over the tele-
phone to ask regarding church sup
per which she had planned to attend.
according to the testimony of Mrs.
James Lowery.

POSTER BOOSTS
SEED CORN WEEK.
AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION
AND GREATER DEs MONIES
COMMITTEE COOPERATE.

Des Moines, Sept. 1.-THE Iowa
Agricultural association. cooperating
with the Greater Des Moines commit
tee Is carrying on an energetic cam
paign in behalf OF seed corn week,
beginning Sept 20.
The association Is sending out pos
ters and hopes to place one in every
rural home in Iowa. In addition large
quantities of literature are being mail
ed, pointing out that the time for
gathering seed corn is at hand and
urging farmers through the state to
esee that this little chore is attended
to during the last week In September
or The first few days Of October.
Dry Air 10 Needed.
Free circulation of dry air, not
heat" says one of the association
circulars, "is most needed in drying
corn when first hung up. 1t is exceed
ingly important that corn be stored
that the ears do not touch one anoth-
or, In order that the air may circulate
freely around each ear.
Here is O simple, inexpensive, but
good method Of caring for seed corn:
Cut q piece of binding twine twelve
feet long, tie the ends together, thus
forming loop. Place one end of the
loop over the right and the other over
the left hand, holding the hands about
two feet apart and at such height that
the middle of the strands just touch
the floor Place an ear Of corn in the
| ,i,~rr xh,,c IN noi, 70 hof tl,r
strands of twine are about five inches
apart under the ear.
Take Only Few Minutes.
when the first ear is in place, pass
the left hand In which is held one set
OF strings through the strings held In
the right hand, and on to the elbow
Of the right arm, thus crossing the
strings over the first ear. Then place
the second ear In the crossed strings
over the first ear. Withdraw the left
hand, the strings will then be crossed
again and ready for the third ear.
Repeat the operation until the end Of
the string is reached.
Twelve feet OF Irvine will be sufI1c-
lent to hang up twelve to fifteen ears
OF seed corn. AS fast as the strings Of
cord are completed hang them up In
dry warm place where the air cir
culation Is good.
1T only requires few minutes to
tie and hang up enough corn for next
years seed. Do this as soon as the
corn is gathered as 1t will quickly
heat or mold II placed in a pile. 1t
cannot dry out in piles and will likely
be killed or weakened by freeze"
