TAFT MEN IN
JERSEY BUSY
Active Campaign Being Wag-
ed for the President.
rFrom the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, May 14:-ACtiye work
for the Taft campaign for the pri-
mary election May % is being pros
ecuted in all sections of the state.
In view Of the fact that New Jersey
is the last state Of any consequence
to hold its primaries, and also that
the election here will be only three
weeks in advance of the opening Of
the Republican national convention
In Chicago, the voting here will be
regarded as very significant not
only by the party leaders in this
state, but by the national Republi-
can leaders as well. This will be
due to the fact that the result of
the New Jersey election, coming 50
near the date of the convention,
will be used as an argument for, or
against, President Taft, according
as the state may vote.
At the Taft headquarters in New
ark additional rooms have been
taken, stenographers and clerks en-
ployed and tons of printed matter
will be sent out to all parts of the
state. Arrangements are being
made for Taft meetings in every
county and practically in every town
of any consequence in the state.
Besides the speaking campaign and
the distribution of literature, adver-
Using space is to be employed in all
the principal papers of the state.
e. J. Hendley, Of Asbury Park, a
newspaper mar Of experience in
political publicity work, has been
engaged to assist Edward w. Gray,
secretary of the William II. Taft
League of North Jersey. Mr.. Gray
reports that last week Taft clubs
were organized in many sections OF
the state. Bergen county has a
branch of the Taft League with
more than 1000 members and with
400 vice presidents scattered
through the county, each leading
the Taft movement in his respective
section. In Morris county a Taft
Club has just been organized that
already has 1000 members enroll
ed. This club has arranged meet
ings for each night of the last week
of the campaign between May 20
and May 27. In Union, MiddleseX,
Hudson, Passaic and Monmouth
counties the Taft fight is also being
f~ercely waged. The local leaders
in those counties are all arranging
for meetings for every town and are
keeping the postofices busy with
mail matter.
The headquarters of the William
II. Taft Association in this city is
also a busy place. Lots Of litera-
ture is being distributed and ar
rangements are beng made for Taft
meetings. The campaign actively
will eliminate during the week just
preceding May %, when President
Taft will come to the state and
spend three or four days in a siren,
uous campaign for votes.

RElD'S MEMORY BAD.
Proves Rather Disappointing Witness
In Suit Against Steel Company.

New York, May 14-Daliel G. Reid,
who was one OF the organizers Of the
American Tin Plate company md sew
eral other subsidiaries now In the steel
corporation, proved to be a rather dis
appointing witness for the govern
ment's side at the hearing In the suit
against the steel corporation. Mr..
Reid is named as one of the defend
ats in the governments suit.
The trouble was largely with Mr..
Reid's memory, which did not include
such facts as who composed the cri-
ginal underwriting syndicate of the
American Tin Plate company beside
himself and Judge Moore, what value
was put on the tin plate plants that
went into that combination or ever
what part Of the underwriting he got
himself.
1t was SO bad that 1t led Judge Dick
inson to liken him at one stage to the
horse led to water which couldn't be
made to take n drink. The compari,
son caused considerable laughter. Mr..
Reid remarked that thirteen years was
some distance to travel back for him;
also he said that his associate, Judge
Moore, had charge of the underwriting
and might know more. Judge Moore
Is likely to be called today.

Boston, May 14.-With the decision
as to the Rev. Clarence V. Il. Richie
sons fate due today extra precautions
have been adopted in guarding the
prisoner, due to a fear that he will try
to cheat the electric chair If Governor
Foss finds from the alienists' report
that he is insane.
This vigilance is caused by the dis
cOvery that Rlcheson has recently tried
to bribe a Jail trusty to buy poison for
him. An official in the ease Is author
ity for the statement that within q
fortnight Richeson offered a man In
the Charles street jail 500 If he would
procure for him Il small vial Of eva
hide Of potassium, the same deadly
poison that Richeson bought from Il
Newton Centre druggist and gave to
Avis Linnell.
Miss Edmands Writes to Him.
1t was also learned that Richeson has
been i'll constant correspondence with
Miss Violet Edmands since his arrest.
She is still doing settlement work on
tit tbSl sltt Ill new JOIh.
The death chamber in Charlestown
state prison is in readiness to receive
RicheSon. The men who will accom-
pany him there have been assigned. A
few Minutes before the time set Sheriff
Quinn will go to Richeson's cell and
tell him that the change is to be made.
The prisoners in the tiers of cells
through which Richeson must pass will
be moved to other parts of the jail 50
that he may be spared their iibes. A
closed carriage will be used, and the
route will probably be down Charles
street to the Charles river dam, thence
to Prison Point street and the state
prison.
Here Warden Bridges will officially
receive Richeson, who will be quickly
taken to the death house in the cell ad
Joining the electric chair.
Foss Studies Briggs Report.
After Governor Foss had spent ar
hour and Il half in going over the re
port OF DR.. l.. Vernon Briggs, the first
alienist to examine Richeson, he tOok
the report home to further study it.
Il shall not be able to make n deci
sion until | get the reports from Drs
Stedman, Frost and Tuttle,' said Gov
ernor Foss. Il expect these reports to
day, so that | Will be able to decide OF
the matter oon after that"

Fancy Potatoes Drop SO to $12 per
Ton.

Seattle, Wash, May 10.-The north
west potato market collapsed today
with a suddenness that took farmers
and dealers completely by surprise.
Three weeks ago fancy potatoes sold
at $40 to $45 a ton, on the strength
of heavy buying by California inter-
ests, where a Japanese had cornered
the market. The high prices brought
a flood of potatoes to the local mar
ket and today the choicest product
brought only $50 a ton. In some
quarters the top price was $2S. Or
binary potatoes sold as low as $25 a
ton, and commission men predict a
further drop.

YOUR HEALTH
The Most Important Thing in Your Life

You health is the most i'm
portant thing to you. Every
thing else depends on it.
Acute attacks of Sickness such
as fevers, call for medical atten-
dance and have their proper
treatment. But it is not acute
diseases that cause the most suf-
fering, misery and unhappiness:
1t is the condition called debility,
when the body is run down by
overwork, overstudy, worry or
excuses, that results in most of
the time lost from work, in
empty pay envelopes, badly kept
homes, poorly cooked food, neg
lected children and unhappy
families.
When you do not feel as well
as usual, when no particular or
gan of the body seems to be at
fault yet the whole system is out
of order, when you are nervous,
irritable, lack appetite, energy
and ambition, it is a tonic that
is needed. Strong medicines that
stimulate certain organs, as the
heart, stomach or kidneys will
not help your condition and may
make it worse. Your whole sys-
tenn lacks tone and the remedy
must be one that benefits the
