GOVERNOR WILSON
VERY BUSY TODAY
Delivers Several Addresses
Two Talks on Tariff
Question.
(National News Associatton)

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-This was a
busy day for Governor Woodrow Will
son. The Democratic nominee attended
a pure food conference at the Colony
club, the most exclusive woman's Or
ganization in New York, where he de-
hvered speech, promising to make
pure food live campaign issue, open
ed the Democratic tariff exhibit at In
ion Square, with a speech on the tariff.
delivered another address on the same
subject in the open air, in Union
Square, and then conferred with a
number of national leaders at national
headquarters upon his future speaking
program.
At the tariff exhibit Mr.. Wilson adj
vanced the new thought that American
manufacturers in demanding a high
tariff barrier for their own protection
are really taxing themselves. This puts
United States industries at a disad-
vantage in trying to compete in the
worlds market, he said.
I'VE are pampering our industries"
said the presidential nominee" and We
are pampering them at the very time
they should be getting free. American
industry Is now in straightjacket and
what we are fighting for in behalf of
industry is freedom. 1t is notifying
that a tariff exhibit should be neces-
sary."

WITHDREW DEFENDER.

CHICAGO, Sept. BY sunset to-
day three French monoplanes each
with speed record of more than 100
miles an hour, expect to wrest the
Gordon Bennett international aero
than has seventy miles an hour as
its maximum effort.
In the opinion of experts all hope
for American supremacy went glim-
mering late yesterday afternoon, when
Charles Dickinson. &. Chicago seed
merchant who financed the building
OF the reputed 125 mile an hour cup
calender. withdrew the craft.
Reasons for the last minute cancel
latlon OF the hopes" entry are sane.
.,.e corps of mechanics which had
Eeen endeavcring to fit the machine
with & type OF control suitable to Glen
J.. Martin, Pacific coast flyer, found
.ae construction such that it was not
safe to make control connections.
Orders Change In Control.
It was then Mr.. Dickinson ordered
that the control be shifted back to
tas Wright variety, with which w.
Earring burgess, aeroplane construe-
tll OF Marblehead, Mass, had first
oquippea it. Instead of Mr.. Martin,
Rr. dickinson elected to nominate
Norman Prince, formerly q Boston
lawyer, as driver. 1t was Mr. Prince
who first interested Mr.. Dickinson in
the building of the defender.
At. s O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
hi of Mr.
William Stevens, Superintendent of
the Martin aeroplane work in Los
Angeles, were restoring the Wright
control to the formidable appearing
nlonoplane. Mr.. Dickinson submitted
the name of MIR. Prince as the pilot of
the defender.
Sorry, Tut the American team al
ready has been picked" Henry A.
Wise Wood of the contest committee
of the Aero Club of America, told Mr..
Dickinson.
Team Named for United States.
Mr.. Wood then declared shat on
Saturday afternoon w. Redmond Cross
of New York, as chairman OF the
American cup defense committee OF
the Aero Club of America, had nomi
mated the team to represent the Unit
ed States as follows:
Principals-Glen l.. Martin, of Los
Angeles; De Lloyd Thompson, OF
Chicago: Paul Peck, of Washington.
Aiternates-Howard Gill of Balti
more; Max Lille of Chicago,
We'll, have paid out about $4,000
to build the racer" Mr., Dickinson told
the committee. Don't you think il
should be left to me to name the pilot
driver of a race horse usually is
chosen by the owner"
1t was then explained that owing te
the lateness of the time and the facl
that the committee was unacquainteG
with Mr.. Princes abilities as an air
man, while it was sure of Mr. Martin
the picked team would not be chang
ed
WithdraWs U. s. Defender.
With some further parley, neither
side yielding, Mr.. Dickinson sacrificed
his ambition to see American honor
defended by an American-made aero
plane, driven by an American aviator
and ordered all work to cease on the
defender.
The hope" had never been off the
ground 1t was not experimental, how
ever, combining the best features OF
the Depedrussin, Newport, and Nor
ane monoplanes and the Martin an6
Wright biplanes. The motor was the
largest aeronautical engine ever built
of 100 horse power, or 20 horse power
stronger than Vedrine's, also of the
Gnome make.

OVER HALF VOTERS
QUALIFY TO VOTE
AT the Last Registering Per-
iod, Next Month, Chair
men Will Get Busy.

Although il is impossible 20 deter
mine the exact number of voters VINO
registered at the second registration
session Friday, IL is believed that from
fifteen to twenty per cent OF the vot-
srs in the county registered. There
was about 80 per cent Of the voters
who registered AT the May session.
All of the inspectors have not returned
the registration records TO the audit
cr's office, although the registration
Law reads that all books must be re-
turned TO the auditors Office within
two days after the registration.
County Auditor Bowman declared to-
day that he does not believe the reg
istration law will do any good whatever
IN Wayne county. He says IL Will be
nothing more than an added expense 10
this county.
The law may be all right in coun-
ties where large cities are located,
the auditor stated. 1T may be all right
in Indianapolis, Fit. Wayne, Gary. Vim
cennes or other cities but in Richmond
where all of the precinct committees
men, inspectors and clerks know the
voters IL is unnecessary"
There is a question as to whether
the registration inspector and clerks
in the Twenty-seventh precinct in the
city can collect pay for the second
days work. The twenty-seventh was
the only precinct which was open for
, two days. Following a close study OF
the law, Auditor Bowman said this
morning that the law specifies that
the inspectors shall be paid for one
days work. and although other parts
of the law show the meaning Of the
law to be that the registration boards
shall remain open for more than one
day, in case five voters petition. there
is no clause saying that inspectors can
draw pay for more than one day. Aud
itor Bowman stated, however, that he
would pay the inspector and clerks In
the precinct which kept open for two
days. In other counties considerable
trouble has. arisen over the reading OF
the law.
As soon as all inspectors file their
reports the county chairman will get
the names of the men In each pre-
cinct who have registered and com
pare the list with the poll books and
in that manner ascertain the names OF
the men who have not registered

OWNER WITHDRAWS
YANKEE DEFENDER
And as a Result a Frenchman
Wins the Great Air Der
by at Chicago.
National News Association


CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-Flying at an
average rate Of 104 miles an hour and
covering the 124.8 miles of the Gordon
Bennett cup race in 70 minutes, 56.s5
second, Jules Vedrines today set new
air records for America. All Ameri-
can speed records were shattered by
the marvellous flight of the French
man in his monoplane.
Over the heads of a crowd that num-
bered many thousands the French
birdman sent his duck-winged, long
bodied racer. The exhaust of it's 124
horse power engine sounding in a con-
tinuous roar like battery of Maxims
were lost in the cheering of the air
fans as the machine swept around the
course. Keeping close to the ground
and flying perfectly straightway ex-
cept at the turns the Frenchman shay
ed the course to the very last inch. A
strong wind sprang up that made it
difficult to handle the craft, but We'd
rines kept close to the earth most of
the race being run at an altitude of not
more than 100 feet After finishing
the race when the flag had indicated
that the distance was completed We'd
rines swung once more around the
course, holding his terrific pace for 81
laps. The time for the 81 laps was IS
minutes and Is seconds. When the
Frenchman checked the speeder and
brought it to the ground in a great
swoop the crowd that overrun the
field despite the precautions made a
rush for the machine. Guards sur
rounded the craft and it's pilot and it
was pushed into it's hangar.
