Gloucester. N j., Aug. B.-Governor
Wilson poked fun at the Roosevelt party
platform to-day because of its length,
criticised President Taft for his veto Of
the steel bill and attacked the protective
tariff. lie also made a strong bid for
the farmer vote.

in Washington Park here, where the an
nual South Jersey Farmers Picnic was
in progress.

Colonel Roosevelt has said that through
ont his big trip" which will cover forty
states" he does not desire to attack Gov
ernor WiIson. Thus far he has avoided
direct criticism Of the Wilson speech Of
acceptance. 1t IS known, however that
he considers Governor Wilson as an ac-
knowledged reactionary since the Balti-
more convention. Hc regards the Gov
ernOrs speech as a plain indication Of the
fact. IL is also known that Colonel Roose-

candidate who regards his party "a plat

not entertain very high opinion OF the

English Suffragettes On
Trail For Serious Out
RACES.

-Four militant English suffragettes
were put on trial Tuesday in Dublin
on the charge of having committed
serious outrages at the time of the
visit to that city of the British Prime
Minister. Gladys Evans was found
guilty Of setting fire on July IS to
the Theater Royal, where Premier
Asquith was scheduled TO speak the
following day. The charge against
Mabel Capper. alleged to be her ac-
complice, was withdrawn, while
Lizzie Baker, similarly charged,
pleaded guilty to damaging property.
The jury disagreed in the case OF
Mary Leigh, and she will be tried on
the charge of wounding John e..
Redmond, leader of the Irish Parlia-
mentary party, who was hit by a
hatchet that was thrown at the
Premier's carriage. Sentence was
reserved in the case Of the convicted
woman. Timothy Healy, chief coun-
sci for the women, was hooted when
he entered the court room. He de-
manded the exclusion from the jury
OF all members Of the Society OF
Molly Maguires. He said he refused
to be insulted by them, and did not
doubt that they were there by the
Governments orders.

EXPLANATION.

In answer to numerous complaints
and queries from city subscribers in
regard to the issue of Kentucky Irish
American of Saturday, July "a, we
wish TO state that our papers were
placed i'm the local Post Office Friday
afternoon, July 20, and that one
sack Of papers, comprising many
city routes, was not delivered by the
Post Office until Wednesday, August
z, exactly twelve days after being
mailed, another subsequent issue,
Saturday, August 3, being delivered
in the meantime. The missing sack
of papers was located in the office of
the Evening Post, 317 West Walnut
street, on Tuesday of this week and
delivered Wednesday. This explana-
ton is offered to those readers who
complained that they received no
paper of July "a, and who, no doubt,
were surprised to receive that issue
on August z.
