STANDS WITH TAFT
Governor Wilson Declares Opposition
to Recall of Judges.

New Haven. Conn, Sept. 26.-Gover-
nor Woodrow Wilson, speaking here,
admittedly went further toward de-
fining his ideas of Progressive princi-
pies than he has since he became the
Democratic presidential nominee In
speech that was received with e.t-
thusiasm at Hartford and another "a
New Haven, the governor explained
that he favored the initiative and the
referendum as well as the recall OF
unqualifiedly opposed to the recall of
the judiciary.
The Democratic nominee illustrated
some of the points of his speech
primary system and the direct elec-
ton of United States senators by #
erence to political conditions on the
Pacific coast He said later that these
references to California did not con-
template the presence in Hartford and
New Haven of Governor johnson of
California.
eff 1 didn't believe that to be pro-
gressive was to preserve the essentia is
of our institutions, / for one, could
not be progressive" said Governor
Wilson in his Hartford speech.
After paying tribute to the charac-
ter of the majority of the men in tn e
United States senate, the governor
said:
1T would be painful to repeat to
you some of the processes by which
seats have been bought in the United
States senate and you know, as the
whole people of the United States
know, that a little group of senators
holding the balance of, power has
again and again been able to defea1
programs of reform upon which tho
whole country had set its heart"
The governor spoke of the effective
ness of the direct primary, especially
in New Jersey, and turning again t.
the question of popular election of
United States senators, said:
'And while it is true that Ameri-
can forces are aware that they can
conduct American processes without
serious departure from the ideals of
the constitution, it is nevertheless true
that we have had many shameful in
stances of practices which we can alb
solutely remove by the direct election
of senators by the people themselves"

TALKS PROSPERITY
President Taft Paints Glowing Outlook
for the E,uture.

Altoona Pa. Sept. 26.-President Taft
was the principal speaker at Altoona's
celebration of the fftieth anniversary of
the meeting here of the Loyal War
Governors who decided that Abraham
Lincoln and his war policy should be
upheld and mis- call for more troops
should be met promptly with volun-
teers. Through that meeting and those
which followed, the president declared
there entered into the soul of Lincoln
the conviction that the country was
behind him in his effort to end the
war and bring the south back into the
Union. The IA loyal governors who
supported Lincoln in the dark days of
50, the president called heroes, wnc
did not advertise the deeds they were
about to do, who made no use of
butts and ifs" but who said eve
will see you through"
The presidents speech dealt almost
entirely with the conferences Of the
governors, but he reserved a sentence
OF two for prosperity talk. The presi-
dent left for Beverly. He expected
Chairman Hilles, of the Republican ma
tionaI committee to board his private
car at Harrisburg and make the jour
ney north to help discuss New England
politics with Republican leaders there.
The president said, in speaking of
prosperity:
"One hundred millions of people: 80
millions between the oceans and 10 mil
lions in our ocean dependencies con-
stitute our population and today right
in the harvest time We are garnerine
crops that make possible the greatest
prosperity that ever faced this country
and we are today where every man and
every woman can have work if they
will, when wages are the highest and
the individual happiness of everyone
averages higher than ever before

ACCIES TRY
CONCLUSIONS
WITH YOSTMEN
We're Conceded Doubtful
Chance to Win Annual
Scrap
MICHIGAN MEN EVEN
WERE OPTIMISTIC
Barton's Absence Gives Torbet
a Chance at End
, Job
By RALPH L. YoNKER.

Most Of the interest In the annual
Michigan-M. A. c. scrap comes when
the Aggies are conceded chance TO
beat the Wolverines. The greater
the chance conceded them, the great
er the interest.
Therefore 1t was with only moder-
ate interest that the doings at Ferry
field this afternoon were looked for

Coach Yost's usual influence, failed TO
bare TO us this week any startling se-
crets that made us tremble in agony
or joy depending upon our aniance)
with the thought that the smaller
state institution should defeat the
larger.
All that has been worrying the Ann
Arbor students up To the time OF the
game, has been what the Wolverines
would do without Barton at end. This
young star staged bucking act with
motorcycle and came out the worse
for IT, SO he was reported out OF the
| lineup today.
Huebel, commonly called Boyle's
predecessor now that the flaming star
is rounding into shape. was expected
to stick throughout the whole game
instead OF just part OF II as was the
Case last week. because Boyle had q
bum hinge.
The tackle proposition. which seems
to be worrying Yost more than any
thing else, was up for a probable
fnal decision today with three or four
near stars trying for the jobs.
The dope had it that the absence
of Barton at end would be OF ultimate
benefit to the team, thusly: II Tor.

Now that both teams have settled
into steady form, playing safely and
sanely with the old frenzy wiped out
II gets back largely to the pitching
again.
Stahl. as we remarked before, had
shown one winner in Wood. Tesreau
had stumbled because Wood was
steadier, but McGraw had shown In
Mathewson and Marquard a better
pair than any others from the Red
Sox squad.
AS great a pitcher as Wood Is, Col
Inns, Bedient, or O'Brien must be able

sibly two. on the other wing OF H.

stage OF the game and in behalf oil
Smoke-Ball Joe we are willing 70
state that he has yet to pitch game
true to his American league form.
He has won, but he hasn't been a;
his best. II Mathewson wins his bat
tie, Wood must show surer fash oi
his old form to upset Marquard nov
that the Rube has tasted gore. In
this respect Marquard Is a good dea
like the Nubian lion of yore. One
taste Of gore gives him quite an ap
petite and he Is a much tougher citl
zen 10 deal with than before. The
Rube has the same confidence nov
which carried him along his RECORD
run and must be counted as one o.
the vital factors OF the series--a more
dangerous man than either Mathew
SON or Tesreau, who looked to be New
| York's sole hope at the start OF thu
series. Unless the dope goes badl,
awry. Boston will find this wry-necket
wheeler the hardest man OF the melee
to beat. Marquard confident ant
Marquard on the run are two entirely
different souls without a single
