and people were getting out into
 the cold of Winter to hear hin [ and see him. The Roosevelt sent
 ment is strong in the very States
 where the Senator was campaign ing. And what did it amount tc
 for one to seek delegates fol
 himself when those delegate
 apparently go over to would
 Roosevelt if he was going torun
 Roosevelt Would Not Say It. Of course. just one sentence
 from Roosevelt would have ended
 it all. Had he said he would not under any circumstances accept
 a nomination next June that
 would have ended it, La Toilette
 would have proceeded gaily upon
 his way. But the crowds that
 went to hear La Toilette cheered
 for Roosevelt if they had a
 chance. Then James R. Garfield,
 ex-Secretary of the Interior, and
 Clifford Pinchot. ex-Forester, who attended conference of Ohio progressive, successfully exerted their influence against an indorsement of La Toilette as the progressive choice for Presl- dent. Whether it ought to have been so or not, this was inter- preted as meaning that those two close friends of the ex-Presi dent had information to the effect that he would like another mo- imitation. And that flattened the La Toilette boom some more. Senator La Toilette was asked again and again whether he would not withdraw, but he had to keep saying, or chose to keep saying that he would not with draw, ard he has not withdrawn and apparently will not with draw. He intends that his name shall go before the convention at Chicago.
 The progressive headquarters in thIs city are still running at full blast, but nobody seems to be noticing thoseheadquarts any The daily output of bullet ins is thrown into wastekets in the newspaper offices and the of somebody's good for the exploitation of in- candidates seems to be in vain. None the less the lnsur- gents still have some money to spend. and seem unwilling to let up. There is more or less division in their own camp. Thelr general Medill Mccormick, of Chicago and Washington, one of the men who has put up" generously for the La Toilette boom, is very well known to pre- fer the nomination of Roosevelt. That makes La Follette's friends at headquarters as sore" as gan be.
 The Senator and his com panions on the recent Western 5riD had all their expenses paid. There is some comment among the contributors upon the fact | that the Sentor does not travel a | nile before he goes to the cashier and drows dawn the pay. He ,akes no chances about the bills remaining unpaid after he has gone out and done the speaking. l 0f course, he is not rich man in my sense of the term, and a thous md doll ars or two for a trip into ,hree or four States is matter of some moment to him.

Portland, Me, Sept 3.-The Demo
cratic fight to win the Maine State
election began in earnest today with
the arrival of Representative w. c.
Redfield of New York to deliver the
first of a series of speeches to be
made by prominent party leaders from
outside the State. The election will
take place next Monday and a desper-
ate struggle is on between the Dem
ocrats and Republicans to capture the
State, which is regarded as the politi-
Cal pacemaker in presidential years
,Jn view of the Republican split the
Democrats believe they will not only
be able to re-elect Governor PIaisted
but will also capture the legislature
and send Senator aGrdner back to
Washington for full term. they are
also confidently expecting TO carry
three if not all four of the congress
ional districts. The Republicans are
aiming to keep the State and national
contests separate, but the Democrats
are making one fight of it in the belief
that they have a better chance of cap
turing the farmer vote by injecting
the tariff and other national issues
into the State campaign.

WHOLE QUESTION
IN A NUT SHELL
Governor Wilson Says Its the Tariff
ard Shows How II Affects
the Farmers

Washington, Sept, 4---Goyernor Will
has made thus far In the campaign
that he attaches great deal OF impor-
lance to the question of the tariff az
II affects the farmer The Democratic
candidate put this whole question in.
TO a nut shell when he said
"The farmer does not derive any
benefits from the tariff when he goes
to market TO sell his products, but on
everything the farmer buys there is
an artificially high price due to the
tariff tax"
High protectionists in Congress have
into believing that because tariff ID
kept on wheat and corn the farmer is
necessarily benefited thereby, That
this Is false logic Is APPARENT to any
student OF American import and ex-
port statistics. This country produces
more wheat and corn than the Ameri-
can people consume, which obviously
makes IL impossible for any country
OF Europe To sell wheat or corn here.
Europe which is the great market for
surplus American grain, uses all the
grain produced there for home con-
sumption. and in addition, the Euro
pean countries have 10 send over here
for more.
II there were no tariff on grain.
therefore, the American farmer would
not be menaced by the possibility Of
foreign competition, for the reason
that foreigners have no grain to sell.
But the situation is vastly different
with the farmer when h. comes to buy
the tools, machinery, clothing. and
other necessities of lie. He finds
every article that he uses in producing
his crops taxed higher and higher, UNI
Ill. as Governor Wilson says. ut Is
getting to be next 10 impossible for
the American farmer to make legit-
innate profit" The farmers nipple
ments. his smaller tools, wagons,
household articles, clothing, lumber,
and harvesting machinery has stead
lily risen in price.
That this rise in prices has been
due to artificial causes is proven by
the fact that the IDENTICAL articles
used by the American farmer are sold
abroad for from rs 10 40 per cent,
less. b. d. Townsend, in his report
to President Roosevelt on the harvest
er Trust reported that the same har-
vesting machines that were made by
the trust in Chicago. and sold TO the
American farmer for Sl25, are sold In
Russia for $50 and 500. Nothing but
the tariff thus enables the trust to rob
+ the American trust TO sell its ma
were not for the tariff. the danger o.
competition from Canada would forct
the American trust to sell list ma
chimes for one price TO all.
/ Governor Wilson has shown deer
grasp OF the tariff question as il at
fects farmers, and 1t Is certain thai
before the campaign is much older hi
I will have some Illuminating things
! TO say to the farmer on this vital sub
/ ject.
