pointment Of Rolla Wells, former
mayor of st. Louis, to be the treasurer
Of the Democratic national commit rec

Trenton, n. J., Aug. eve want
to take the government out of the
hands Of trustees and put 1t in the
hands of those we can trust" This
was Governor Wilson's first campaign
declaration, expressed today to dele
cation Of Delaware Democrats.
New Jersey people," said the gov
ernor, always have been as progress
sive as any people in the union, but
there have been embarrassments.
They have been in the hands of a
board of guardians who used to sit in
the state house and tell the legisla-
ture what 1t should do.
but we ought to speak tenderiy Of
those who are on their death beds.
Those people are not in this state
house now and they viii never camp
in this building again.
What we are trying to do In the
immediate future IS to offer the people
of the United States the right to say
what they want done with their own
government and their own affairs. We
want to take the government out of
the hands of trustees and put 1t in
the hands OF those We can trust.
Those for whom the government was
held in voluntary trust are now grown
up and ready to assume charge of
their own business"
Governor O'Neal, of Alabama, who
called on Governor Wilson, announced
that he would take the stump in
northern states in behalf of the presi-
Dental nominee.

AGEMENT-THE PEOPLE ARE
ENTHUSIASTIC OVER NATIONAL
HIGHWAY.
BY w. q. Mack.

DeFuniak Springs, Aug. e.-Walton
county decided today to hold county
fair after Manager N. j. Lillard, of the
Pensacola Interstate Fair, together
with A. l. Anderson, Colonel w. NJ.
F1ournoy, Larkin Cleveland and R. w.
Storrs had addressed the board of
county commissioners, asking that
they appropriate a certain amount of
money for premiums at a county fair
and for a special s25 premium to the
Walton county farmer who displays
at the Pensacola Interstate Fair the
best exhibit of fifty ears Of corn.
Three hundred dollars has been ap-
propriated by the county for the coun-
ty fair, and it has been determined
that every effort shall be made to
gather together the finest exhibits pos
sible not only to show here but to
exhibit at Pensacola when the Inter
state Fair is held. It seems to be the
concensus of opinion among the farm
ers and business men Of this part of
the county that if the effort is made
that Walton county can easily cap
ture the prize at the Pensacola fair.
The talks made by the citizens of
the county and Mr.. LiIlard were able
ones. Colonel F1ournoy is a forceful
talker at all times and his appeal to
the commissioners to help the county
in the matter Of agricultural develop
ment was one which carried force and
conviction with it.
Next week Manager Lillard has an
appointment at Laurel Hill, in this
county, where he goes to make an
address on the advantages Of the county
having an agricultural exhibit at the
fair. A number of prominent citizens
from this place will be there at the
time and in view of the fact that ar
rangements have been made for the
holding of a county fair Mr.. Lillard
feels very much encouraged over the
prospects Of Laurel Hill as well as De-
Funiak being represented in Pensa-
cola.

people here believe in electric lights
and plenty of them and If the city

Sunday as was the case last Sunday

the Sabbath would follow as has never
been known in Florida.
Several weeks ago 1t was decided
that Sunday in DeFuniak should be
observed with the lid on tight, and
when the people appealed to the state
official to apply the lid he did his duty.
From the best information 1 can gath

matter a goodly number of citizens
decided that the weather is, too warm
for the lid to be applied and as a con-
sequence they have attempted to carry
the Sunday observance laws to the ex-
treme.
without 1t being generally known,
and without authority from the council

TORTURED.

Mexico City. Aug. 6.-Leaders of the
Sierra Juarez Indians in northern
Oaxaca have suspended personal guar
antees on their own account accord
ing to dispatches which reached this
city today. All federals captured are
executed at once and If of high enough
rank are tortured, according to the re-
ports.
Rumors were current here today to
the effect that the federal deta chment
operating near Ixtian was surrounded
and cut off from the state capital.
Rebels cut off soldiers ears and cut
the soles Of the feet of two soldiers,
thirty miles from the city of Oaxaca.
The soldiers were forced to walk to
Ixtapec, a distance OF several miles.
One Of the men died on the road and
the other was killed by the mob after
his arrival. The jefe politico Of Yolox
is reported to have been stoned to
death and his body hung from a tree
and used as a target for the rebels.
Jesus Flores Magon, minister of the
interior, said that he had no definite
news from the state and that he did
not believe that the activity there had
taken on any very alarming proper
tons. He said that General Herman
dez, who is in command, had been iii
for several days and that during that
time the rebels had been a little bolder
and that as soon as some one could
begin an energetic campaign, he be-
Heved the situation would be i'm
proved.

NEW PARTY ADOPTS REPORT OF
CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE, FA-

DELEGATIONS FROM SOUTH
NEGROES BITTER OVER BEING
SHUT OUT OF MEETING, BUT
COLONEL Is FIRM IN HIS STAND
BY Associated Press.

Chicago. Aug. 6.-Late today the ma
tional convention of the new Progress
sive party adopted the report of the
credentials committee barring all
southern negroes from the convention
floor. An alI-night meeting of the
credentials committee, to whom the
blacks appealed, had availed them
nothing. The committeeman upheld
the white contenders from the south
ern states except in the Florida dis
pute, in which both white and black
delegates were thrown out. In this
the hand of Col. Roosevelt was seen.
He was emphatic in the statement that
the South to be in the hands of the
whites. He declined to comment upon
the credentials committees action in
the Mississippi cases.
The southern blacks appeared to
have considerable support in the de-
mand that they be allowed to figure in
the new party's birth. Some Of their
eastern brethren joined with them in
denouncing certain things that oc-
CURED at an all night meeting of the
credentials committee when the last of
the southern negro delegates were
barred from the floor Of the conYen-
ton.
The vote stood IT to 16 against the
negroes, and Immediately julius T.
Mitchell of Rhode Island, and other
eastern negroes joined in crying that
the deciding ballot in the vote had
bGen cast by a questionable proxy on
the committee. Fairly sputtering with
indignation, the negroes announced
that they would carry the matter to
Col. Roosevelt for a personal ruling on
the point. This was the vote on the
Mississippi case. It came in a secret
session of the committee at o'clock
this morning, a few hours after both
white and negro delegations from
Florida had been barred from the con-
vention.
The negroes were indignant and ex-
citably voluble throughout the session
of the committee, which began at 8
o'clock last night and continued until
nearly daybreak. The Mississippi con-
test was the last to be taken up and
it was begun shortly after midnight.
The national committee had voted to
unseat the negroes and they appeared
primed for oratory. Half a dozen of
them told the committee that to seat
the white delegation, headed by pro-
visional National Committeeman B. F
Fridge, was equivalent to disfranchis-
| ing the negro.
The negroes bitterly complained that
| the limiting of the Fridge convention
| to white citizens invalidated that gath
ering. They declared that the seating
of the Fridge delegates would mean q

Chicago, Aug. s.-Theodore Roose-
velt made his confession of faith to-
day to the national Progressive con-
vention. He struck out into new
ground, advocating measures which ne
ksaid frankly would be denounced as
keither socialism or anarchy. The dele
gates listened to his speech with the
understanding that they must either
adopt a platform substantially In
consonance with his views or look
elsewhere for a nominee for the presi-
dency.
These are the conspicuous points in
the Roosevelt program:
Recall of judicial decisions, to ap-
ply to federal as well as state courts.
Easier amendments of both the ma
tionaI and state constitutions.
Use of the government to assist
workmen to become part owners OF the
business in which they are employed.
The government system should be
shaped so that "the public servant,
when he cannot conscientiously carry
out the wishes OF the people, shall at
their desire leave his office and not
misrepresent them in Office"
CONTROL OF TRUSTS.
Control OF the trusts through reten-
tion of the Sherman antitrust law
and establishment of an interstate in
dustrial commission to regulate in
dustriaI corporations as the interstate
commerce commission regulates rail-
roads.

"husks. with no real soul in either
and as "boss-ridden and privileged
classes" He announced that the chief
concern of the privileged interests
was TO defeat the new party and that
