ALL THREE CANDIDATES
DISAPPOINT LAFOLLETTf
Taft's Speech Appeal to Conser-
vatives; Wilson's weak-Roose-
velt's, Too Much Roosevelt

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 16-Disap-
proval in varying degree, OF Taft,
Roosevelt and Wilson is expressed by
Senator LaFollette in today's issue Of
his magazine. In part he says
Restaurant and under-statement
characterize and in degree weaken
Gov. Wilson's presentation of the is
sues. There is however no ambiguity
He frankly announces-and this doubt
less required courage that he believes
in tariff for revenue.
"Roosevelts Confession Of faith is
neither the one thing nor the other
1t is just Roosevelt He is forcible
definite and positive on matters about
which there can be no dispute He
asserts with the enthusiasm of an
original discoverer, principles ad-
vanced by progressives years ago.
There is a milestone about Roose-
velt's neck and that in itself makes
him impossible as the candidate of a
real progressive movement
"Tafts acceptance speech is a di.
rect appeal 10 the conservatives and
the president does not recognize that
the peoples movement for legislation
will aid in making the government
more responsive to the will of the ma
jority"

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. l6.-
Arguing for the people in the Clar.
ence s. Darrow bribery trial, which
goes TO the jury today, District At
torney John D. Fredericks styled the
accused lawyer an enemy of society,
inciting class hatred and shedding
maudlin tears of sympathy for mur.

After reciting the substance OF the
principal evidence introduced by the
state. Fredericks declared no one but

provided the bribe money. Scouting
the theory that the Times dynamters
did not intend TO do murder, he quot

Darrow's denunciation OF John Har'

Mcnamara defense, but later wit

was most scathing.

said. He ate my bread, he posed as

VILLA, CHIEF AID TO
MADERO, EXECUTED
BY REBEL. TROOPS
Most Picturesque Character
in Northern Mexico Pays
Penalty for Loyalty.

JUAREz, Mexico, March 17.--Pancho
villa, most picturesque character in
northern Mexico, paid the penalty of
loyalty to Madero this morning when
he faced the firing squad of the rebel
army at Santa Eulalia, according to
kilograms received here from official
sources at Chihuahua.
Colonel villa was made captive yes
terday afternoon in a fight between
his tattered band of loyal rurales and
900 insurrectos, who had been pursu-
ing him since Friday afternoon, when
they killed or wounded fourteen of his
men and made a prisoner of his chief
of staff, Major 7. II. Aldana. Aldana
was executed yesterday.
villa was a bandit for years, the
terror of northern Chihuahua prior
to the MRdero revolution a year ago.
He Joined the MaderQ cause and was
responsible for the assault on and
capture of Juarez which resulted in
the resignation of Diaz and the ele-
walton of Madero.
For a time, since the present revo-
luton broke out, Villa was believed
to be with the rebels, but the mo-
ment OrooZco rebelled, Villa. for
months Jealous of his chief, assaulted
| Chihuahua in the name of the gov
| ernment, but was repulsed. Since
| that time, both OroZCo and Villa have
vowed to execute the other.
Orozco excuses his action in the fact
that Madero has withdrawn the guaran-
| tee OF an impartial trial for the rebels,
and says he must reply in kind. He has
| published an order to this effect that
every federal army officer captured will
| be executed. This is a bloody phase
of the situation that did not obtain dur
| ing the Medero regime and adds addi-
tional error to the present uprising.
| Villa out of the way, Orozco today an

The only hope of the Maderos lies in
