RACE TRACK IN
SOLDIERS HANDS
Governor Marshall Uses Ma
tional Guard to Prevent
Racing at Mineral Springs.

Chicago. Oct. 2s.-The Mineral
Springs race track at Porter. Ind, is
in the hands of the Indiana state
troops with orders from Governor
Thomas B. Marshall to remain there
until all racing has been stopped. The
troops arrived there this morning.
bringing with them three days rations.
They are under command Of Quarter
master General Charles A. Garrard.
Immediately on their arrival the
three companies took complete charge
Of the track. 1t had been decided by
owners Of the course to hold the races
this afternoon in defiance Of the gov
ernor's order. but when the horses ap-
peared from the paddock for the first
race they were halted by the troopers
with fixed bayonets and the races were
called off.
The troops halted all spectators as
they appeared at the gates. None was
allowed to enter and those that had
succeeded In gaining entrance before
the troops arrived were detained in
the enclosure for more than an hour
before being permitted to depart. In
the number were included about fifty
women, today having been ladies' day.
A conference of owners and others
interested in the racing was held at
which court proceedings to restrain
the governor from further interference
with the races were discussed but no
decision was reached.
With the advent Of the state troops
many Of the horsemen began shipping
their stables away. apparently having
come to the conclusion that racing at
the Mineral Springs track was at an
end.

TAMA jim TALKS
FOR PRESIDENT
Secretary of Agriculture on
the Hastings For the
Republican Party.

Hart, Mich. Oct. 23.-Secretary of
Agriculture James Wilson, speaking
in behalf Of the reelection of Presi-
dent Taft and other republican can
didates last night. confined his ad-
dress to a discussion Of the issues be-
tween the republican and the demo-
cratic parties, making no reference
to the progressive party.
Secretary Wilson's address not only
but elaborately reviewed the accom-
plishments Of President Taft's admin
istration and eulogized the president
for the great work which he had
achieved in procuring progressive
legislation" and in "giving the coun-
try safe and stable administration.
avoiding international troubles and
conserving the interests Of tie people
in every particular SO that there had
been no check to prosperity"
"Since the meeting Of our first con-
gress." said Secretary Wilson, pro
lection to American welfare on the
farm, in the shop and factory has
been the most engrossing question
around which the strong men OF the
two great parties have arrayed them
selves. Republicans believe in pro-
lection to the extent of the differ
ence between the cost of production
here and in the countries that sell
goods here. The democrats do not
believe protection constitutional. as
they have repeatedly said in their ma
tional platforms. The country has
tried both parties. From 1893 to
1897 1t had low tariffs and Industrial
distress Since 1897 we have had pro-
lection and very great prosperity"
Secretary Wilson discussed the trust
question. He asserted that no great
trust has been orga nized since March.
1909, and showed that proceedings
had been directed by President Taft's
against combinations
to control the price and restrict COM
petition in groceries. butter and eggs.
milk. meat. kindling wood. coffee.
wallpaper. agricultural implements,
cash registers a"d a score Of other ar
ticles in daily use. He analysed the
Payne bill. showing where duties had
been reduced on lumber. boots and
shoes. hides. ETC.. and eulogized the
president for instituting seventy-two
suits against the big trusts. He also
explained at length the vigorous ef-
forts made by the department Of JUS
tice to break up combinations whose
object is to put up the price of food
products after they leave the farm.
Secretary Wilson eulogized Presi-
dent Taft for "bringing to Justice the
sugar trust and sugar smugglers. and
thieves. recovering millions for the
national treasury" He praised the
president for securing a corporation
excise tax that he said put thirty mill
ion dollars In the treasury during the
last fiscal year.

At meeting Of the industrial sec

Outlook Bad.
Professor waldron Of the state
agricultural college at Fargo appeared
on the program for Professor g. w.
Randlett Of the same institution. Pro-
fessor Randlett was unable. to be
present because Of conflicting dates.
The speaker said that at present the
outlook for the teaching Of vocational
and industrial subjects in the schools
Of Of the state is very diseourasins. In
the first place the buildings are not
built right for that sort OF work and
again there IL not nearly enough
equipment supplied. There will have
