WET STATES
ON INCREASE

Cincinnati, o., Sept l6.-The state
wide prohibition election in Arkansas,
in which prohibition was defeated by
a majority of over $4,000 is the first
statewide prohibition election of the
present year. Statewide elections will
be held in November in West Virginia
and Colorado
Only the following states are now
under prohibition: Georgia, Kansas,
Maine, Mississippi, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Oklahoma and Tennes-
see.
Texas voted on statewide prohibit
tion in 1911 and defeated it. Maine
voted on the repeal of the constitu-
tional provision, and, while defeated,
the result showed a change from dry
to wet of $4,000 votes from the pre-
vious election, and this in an enor-
mously increased vote.
A few days ago, Ohio repudiated its
DiGo6ub oySltiu VI OutlbWiIS LHt llluOl
business by a system of taxation,
which prohibited license and made i'm
possible the proper regulation and
control of the business. 1t substituted
therefore a constitutional amendment
making license mandatory and, in the
judgment of the best legal talent in
the state, closes the door, by $4,000
majority, against statewide prohibit
tion.
?The liberal forces of the various
states which have voted recently on
prohibition, are declaring that both
Colorado and West Virginia will re-
main "wet" in the November elections,
an dthat Georgia and Tennessee will
repudiate prohibition in the near fu-
ture.

Claremore, Okla, Sept 10. - Lewis
Juery, farmer living several miles
from this city, owes his life to the
fidtlity and deviation of his dog. Early

gun, which burst at the breech inflict-
ing dangerous wound in Juery's face.

kerchief around the dogs neck and
sent him home. Jurey's family had
been looking for him, and had partially
given up hope of his return when the
dog appeared at the home with his
masters handkerchief. The family
recognizing the handkerchief follow
ed the dog and were taken to the
wounded man. Juery was immediate

dressed While the man | sin pre-
carious condition the physicians ex-
pect him to recover, although he prob

rector of the band the past season, a
place which has been filled by such
musicians as Herman Bellstedt, H. T.

GOLFERS BALK
ON TARIFF GRAF I

New York, Sept. 16.-Collier's, most
ardent of all Roosevelt supporters, re-
fuses to swallow all over again the
theory that 'the government will see
that the tariff graft stops in the pay
nvelope" 1t was bad enough when
Mark Hanna hoodwinked the public
with it sixteen and dozen years ago;
the Third Terms candidates attempt
to palm it off now is the final straw
Golfers, in its issue of September IA,
serves notice on the Colonel as fol-
lows:
THE statement of Colonel Roose-
Velt, frequently reiterated, that the
money powers are fighting against him
exclusively, and are satisfied with both
Taft and Wilson, is no doubt per-
fectly candid statement of his belief,
but it seems to us grossly inaccurate,
The president, from some source to
us unknown, has recently got plenty
of money for his campaign.
I'VE happen to know that Mr. Per-
kins, while making it clear that he
can raise all the money needed by the
Bull Moose if he wants to, has held
back and indicated that he might step
out if things did not go according to
his wish.
we state this not as surmise but
as fact.
1T doesn't mean anything against
Colonel Roosevelt's independence,
which is well established, but it does
seem to us to constitute reason for
not making charges of probable sub
serviency or helplessness against Gov
ernor Wilson. Whether or not big
business men would care to help Gov
ernor Wilson financially can scarcely
be known, as he is so particular about
who contributes to his fund.
Our guess would be that Mr.. Jacob
Schiffs support of Governor Wilson
might be founded partly on the belief
/ that he was going to be elected, as Mr..
Schiff could scarcely take much salts
faction in the Governors intense feel
ings about the existence of a money
trust We mention this instance be-
fcadse Mr.. Roosevelt has chosen to EN-
phasize Mr.. Schiff as an indication that
| high finance fears only him.
"As a matter of fact, the Morgan in
terests in general will probably be
backing the Colonel even more heavily
than they are now before the campaign
is over.
"On the monopoly issue the principal
exponents of the Colonel5s position
are Judge Gary and Mr. Perkins.
"On the tariff issue, the old republi-
can gag of Mark Hanna's day is serv.
ed up anew, in the idea that the gov
ernment will see that the tariff graft
stops in the pay envelope Working
men have heard that story long, long
time, and meantime the price of living
goes up, huge fortunes SWELL trusts
are created by tariff fayors, the city
grows at the expense of the country,
land prosperity" means plutocracy.
TO our best belief Charles R. Crane
is the ony big business man in the
country who has thrown his whole
heart into the effort to eleyt Governor
Wilson to the presidency"

New York, Sept 16.-Robert A, Mills
