GOING Gets MAD
Former TOpekan Takes Excep-
tiOn to Gov. Johnson.
He's Living in California Now
and He's for Taft.

j. W. Going. formerly we'll known
in Topeka, has written the following
letter of protest to the San Diego,
Calf, Sun about GOV. Johnson's s abuse
of President Taft:
I notice in the Associated Press
dispatches this morning that Cover
nor Woodrow Wilson paid a tribute to
the language used in doing so was a
credit to the Democratic candidate
for the highest office in the gift of
the people. Contrast this action with
the recent speech of Governor John
son of California, wherein he decIa4ed
that the president of the United
States was the most humiliating spec
tacle in American history.
+'Such language should make every
resident of California blush for
shame. If / am permitted. l want to
vote for the Taft electors, but if
my ballot with good grace for Gov
ernor Wilson. Governor Johnson Ger
tainly has demonstrated his unfitness
for any position of honor, and he
should be unanimously repudiated by
the people of his own state.
81 also observe a statement from
New York that a proposition has been
submitted to the Republican national
committee which contemplateS that
the regular Taft Republican candi-
dates appear under some new desig-
nation on the ballot.
Il want to vote the Republican
ticket, but if disqualified from doing
so, will vote for Democratic electors
I do not propose to be like the man
without a country. Theodore Roose-
Velt and Hiram Johnson are today the
two most dangerous men in American
public life. It is difficult to consider
their position without using language
that is unfit for publication

What the Great Harvest Means
to the Country.

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-Nine billions Of

dawning, according TO Secretary Jas.
Wilson, of the department of agricul-
ture, who made a brief stop in Chi
cago on his way to Washington after
a tour of the western states. On this
tour he made observations on which
he will base his annual estimates.
Declaring that homesteading in the
west, which in a large measure ac-
counts for the bumper crops, is also
responsible for the high price of beef.
which will go still higher before il
falls to normal again, Secretary Viii

MILLERS TO FIGHT
Milling in Transit Ruling
Makes Business Unprofitable.
Mills Can Not Be Operated,
They Say, if 1t Stands.

Wichita, Kan, Sept. 2S.-Millers of
Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas Nebraska
and Missouri in session here voted to
at once start action to persuade the
interstate commerce commission TO
revise, or at least review, their recent
ruling on the milling in transit rates
as regards the millers themselves. The
meeting was a representative coLl-
mittee selected in a larger meeting of
nillers from these states six weeks
ago.
The millers say that the ruling,
which now provides that when loo
pounds of wheat is received by Il
miller he has a right to send on only
the actual products of that 100
pounds, being about II pounds of
flour and % pounds of BRAN acts so
decidedly against inland millers away
from the rate breaking points that it
becomes practically confiseatory It
was unanimously agreed that the mills
cannot be operated under such a rul-
ing. Ex-senator Chester I. Long, of
this city, was engaged to appear be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission at his earliest opportunity
and present the case.

he stepped down and shook hands

tions, the governor completed his New

fore a big crowd here. Throughout the
day as the nominee journeyed from

three times, but found another crowd
there.

at Hartford" said the candidate
'Oh, no. came in a chorus from
the crowd, and the governor shook
hands with a great number.
At Willimantic the governor made
a brief speech.

he said, Il cannot but think of the
absentee landlords who own the thread
industry and do not live here, because
of course, one of the difficulties of our
whole political arrangement in the
United States is that the people that
run US don't have anything to do with
US and stand off at distance and
find it very difficult indeed to judge Of
actual conditions
