WILSON HIDES FROM FRIENDS
Democratic Nominee Wants Plenty of
Leisure to Concentrate His Mind
on Speech of Acceptance.

Sea Girt, ~ j., July Ex-Governor Will
son left Sea Girt to-day for a period of
seclusion during which he will write his
speech of acceptance of the democratic
presidential nomination.
There are perhaps "A score of persons
who know where he went, but how long
he will be away is problem as yet un-
solved by even the Governor himself
The speech of acceptance is to reflect his
attitude on the leading questions of the
hour and on the platform adopted at
Baltimore. He wants plenty of leisure to
concentrate his mind and time to squand-
er on the choosing of his words
The Governor left the Little White
House" because he found it impossible TO
greet personally the scores of persons who
have been coming here daily to wish him
well and at the same time find opportu-
nifty to write his speech. He went to the
home Of a friend not far away from Sea
Grit.
Before the Governor left he conferred
with Senators Reed and Stone of Missouri
and Representative Henry of Texas
"Of course, Champ Clark will take the
stump for Wilson" Senator Reed said aft
erwards when a reporter asked his opin-
ion on this point. "A Missouri democrat
IS one of those fellows who takes off his
coat and starts to work for the ticket as
soon as the convention is over. Champ
Clark is a Missouri democrat"
Senator Stone said he had talked
with Governor Wilson about plans pr
the campaign. They had a.,o discussed
debatable states, he added He was
reasonably sure that Wilson would
nave $50 votes in the electoral coli
lege before they reached the list of
debatablc States. Among these. he
thought, We're New York, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Ohio.
They were not included in the 23O
votes
senator stone is political pessi-
mist. interrupted Senator Reed
men ne says "A thing Is reasonably
sure. you and / and some other folks
would say 1t was absolutely certain.
There Is no doubt about Wilson's cleo
ton When Roosevelt gets started
ana Taft begins his real campaign
there won't he anything left Of the
Republican party.
Representatives Henry talked with
me HoVernor he said. about legisla-
tioh pending in Congress. He also
discussed the political situation.
This fight" said Mr.. Henry. rs
among three presidents. the past pres
loeht' the present president and flu
ture president. 7 cant see it any
other way And as for Texas. she'll
give wilson 100000 majority. There
aren't any republicans left in Texas
any more"

POISONING CUTWORMs.
EfficRciOuS Remedy Discovered for
These pesky Pests.

Tomatoes. cabbage. sweet potatoes and
other vegetables and garden plants and
especially those which are started under
glass and transplanted. are subject to seri-
Gus injury by cutworms, says the Indiana
Farmer. They appear sometimes in great
numbers in spring and early summer and
frequently do severe injury before their
ravages are noticed. The method of at
tack Is to cut Off the young plants at
about the surface of the ground, and as
these insects are of large size and vora-
cious feeders. they are capable of destroy
Ing many plants In a single night, fire.
"lucntly more than they can devour. Dur
ing the past two years these insects.
working generally throughout the Uni
ted States, destroyed hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of crops. BY the
timely application of remedies, however
II was demonstrated by the department of
agriculture through tield agents and 9TH
ers Of the bureau of entomology engaged
in the investigation of insects Injurious
to truck and sugar beets in some of tho
principal trucking regions that these in
sects can be readily controlled, large
areas being successfully treated. The
usual method OF control is by the use OF
poisoned bats.
Take bushel Of dry bran. add one
pound of arsenic or paris green. and mix
it thoroughly into n mash with eight gall
Ions of water, In which has been stirred
half a gallon of sorghum or other cheap
molasses. After the mash has stood sew
eral hours, scatter It in Jumps of about
the size of a marble over the fields where
injury Is beginning to appear and about
the bases of the plants set out. Apply
late in the day so as to place the poison
about the plants over night. which Is the
time when the cutworms are active. APP

Under the circumstances. however. we
think the wise course Is to remove the

for the lowering of the price. So far as
the tariff reformers are concerned. there
should be not the slightest hesitation in

The second day of the strike, the biggest the city of Willimantic has yet seen saw approximately 1,500 hands out from the plant of the American Thread comp5ny. All of No. , and No. mills of the company were out and some in other departments. The entire manufacturing department of the company is completely tied up and the finishing department will be in a similar condition in a few days unless the mill owners grant the demands of the strikers for the flat increase of ten per cent. they had figured up- on receiving. The strikers are firm in their intention to prolong the strike indefinitely if necessary in order that their demands may be met.
 Enthusiastic and orderly mass meet ings were held Saturday and Sunday in the town hall, When the mass meeting of strikers was called in the town hall at 10 o'clock Saturday morn ing the women were shown to seats upon the main floor by ushers, and the men directed to the seats in the bal cony until all the women and girls had been seated and then the remain ing men and boys were permitted to stand in the aisles and at the rear of the seats on the main floor. Commit tees from every room and represent ing each department in the two mills that are on strike handled the crowd in an excellent manner and everything was orderly and quiet
 The speakers included one at least from practically every nationality em- ployed in the local mills and every re- mark was listened to with attention, no matter what language the speaker was using. All the speakers main tained it was unfair to the manufac- turing department employees to in- crease the pay of those in other de- partments without giving them d like increase.
 One speaker said that the strikers had made on mistake When we re- ceived our pay Friday. he said, we should have appointed q committee tC wait upon General Boss and ascertain why the company had not granted the increase promised and gone back tC our work, and then if the company l failed to give satisfactory answer | to have struck; but now that we aTt | out we must stand together and stay out until the company grants the flat | ten per cent. increase.
