That the National Association Of
Manufacturers, planned. had It sue
ceeded in electing James f. Watson.
Governor of Indiana in 1908, TO
groom him for the presidency four
years later. was developed by the
Senate lobby probers today IN a
letter to Colonel M. NJ Mulhall, on
October II, 1908. Secretary f. c..
Schwedtman, of the ~ A. NJ. wrote:
Il believe the time is coming when
We can rally around our friend,
James +. Watson, as we are now raj
lying to his support for Governor.
We need a man of his type. man
who is not ashamed of his friends
because they happen 10 be among the
respectable people The style of the
politician now seems TO be to wear
ragged clothes so that the voters
among the rabble will come their
way"

become today that it forced Chairman

man petulantly demanded whetner
too much time was not being devoted
to immaterial matters The com
plant had its effect because after that
most of the letters dealing purely
with local politics went into the rec
ord unread. Today's letters revealed
Mulhall's activities during the close
Of the 1908 campaign aud later with
his work after Congress convened In
December, 1908. They indicated that
the n. A. NJ. supported Representative
George NJ. Maltby. of New York, for
chairman of the House committee on
judiciary which passed on nearly all
labor legislation. other letters show
ed that the n. A. NJ. while supposed
ly supporting Senator Foraker for
recollection, early realized that he had
been put out of the race by the
Standard Oil letters and did not ex-
ert itself in his behalf although the
Senator believed all OF its members
were working night and day for his

LONDON, July 21.-The Sublime
Porte today following the rumored
Turkish reoccupation of Adrianople
forwarded to the Powers strong
protest, demanding that Turkey par
ticipate in the next peace negotia-
tions on equal terms with the Balkan
States.
The note also protests against the
alleged atrocities of the Bulgarians
who, the Turks charge. are needless
ly burning Turkish villages along the
Black Sea and massacreing the in
habitants.
Turkey points out to the Powers
that since the Ottoman troops have
got back into the Balkan war game
and have reclaimed captured terri
tory, they are in just as good a po-
sition to dictate terms as are the
former allies.
The reports that the Turks had re-
taken AdrianOplc, which came here

ton
The Times. which was the first
newspaper TO obtain a despatch re-
occupation Of the Holy City, today was

soned by only 1000 Bulgarians and
