Bay City, Mich. Jan. SENATOR
Robert NJ. La Toilette, addressed a
large and enthusiastic audience in the
National Guard Armory here, today.
The senator defined the progressive
movement as standing for a represen-
tative government, direct nomination
for all offices from the smallest to the
largest, direct election of United States
senators and the initiative, referendum
and recall.
The enormous interests of the coun-
try said the senator, are a great
peril The vast interests are welded
together with powerful strength. The
large inflated capital of billions of dol
lars means ruin to the country in time
of depression. Woe unto the honest
business enterprises of the country in
time of a real storm. The serious PEN
alties cannot be averted.
What the country needs is re-
vision of tariff, a new stand. The tar
if should be based on the difference in
cost of production between this coun-
try and abroad. The tariff now is
based upon the cost of production plus
the enormous profits of the trusts. The
government takes the word of the
manufacturers"
The speaker said that the entire
business interests of the country are
controlled, today. by a mere handful
of men. less then 100. who have the
power to dictate prices. both purchas-
ing and selling. He said that he firmly
believed the majority of the stand
patters' would soon take the binders
off and line up with the Progressiyes.

CONVICT SULLIVAN
 MAKES A GETAWAY

Pursuers are hot on the trail of the convicts Sullivan and Aguilar, who escaped from a road camp near Florence last Friday. Word was received at the sheriff's office Mon day night that their trail was picked up yesterday morning near the south end of the bridge across the Gila. It.was found that they had established a kind of breastworks there.
 The Sullivan mentioned was a prisoner in the county jail at Flag staff during the time X. N. Sleeves was district attorney for this county, and played the insanity dodge quite successfully, almost convincing the deputy sheriffs in charge of the jail that he was actually insane. He would inflict upon himself all sorts of injuries, and wallow in his own filth until his clothing, and even the hair on his head was an offensive mass.
 One day it was determined by the officers to put his sanity to the test, and Drs. Manning and Miller were called in. They made an appar- ently thorough examination of Sul- livan and in his presence pronounc- ed him violently insane, but said he could be cured by an operation by removing part of his brain.
 Sullivan took this all in, continu- | ing to play insane. The doctors cleared off the big table in the sher- I ifs office and prepared water, tow l els, knives, saws, aprons and other things ready for the operation in Sullivan's presence. They then laid
 him on the table in proper form for | Ithe removal of the brain. The
 ether was then brought forward and
 they commenced to apply it when
 Sullivan suddenly realized and de
 clared that he was not insane and
 never had been, and that he didn't
 need any of his brain removed. His
 language was neither practical ol
 biblical, but he was put back into
 his cell entirely cured of his in.
 sanity, with no subsequent attacks | It will be remember that Sullivan
 was sent up for robbing the Holmes
 Supply company here.

CARL HAYDEN WILL
 HAVE HIS TROUBLES

Word comes from Washington that the appointment of postmas- ters will lie in the power of repre- |sentatives in congress, while the largest plums will be distributed by the United States senators. Here tofore all political speculation has been qualified, for it was not known who would have the power of nam- ing postmasters.
 The appointments will be made by the president, but the president will name whoever the congress- man names, for it would be ob- viously impossible for him to in vestigate the claims of each candi- date.
 <. This method of allowing con- gressmen to distribute postal plums and the senators the larger fruit of victory was followed in the Cleve- land administration and it has been guessed that it would be followed by the Wilson administration, but the lack of authentic information speculation has added spice to the political situation.
 This scheme will put the appoint ment of postmasters up to Carl Hayden, who is sole congressman from this state, will have the nam ing of all postmasters in Arizona towns, so the burden of all candi- dates songs will be "tell it to Carl. :"
 The list of appointive jobs of the postal variety will be consistently augmented if democrats in congress succeed in having President Taft s recent order adding about 36, ,000 postoffices to civil service jurisdic- ton revoked Such move is al- ready on foot.
