PRESIDENT SEES MUCH
PROSPERITY IN COUNTRY
Wilson Says Good Times Would Come
With a Jump If Manufacturers
Only Thought So.

Washington, June 3.-President Will
son expressed himself freely on busi-
ness conditions and also with regard
to the Clayton antitrust bill Monday.
He told his callers he does not believe
there is any depression in general
business in the United States, but that
whatever depression exists radiates
from railroad Offices and related in
dustries, including the steel business,
and that the ordinary buying and sell
ing of the nation has not been affect
ed. The railroad depression has exer-
cised great influence on the country.
and has affected the credit market
he does not doubt. There is world
wide depression in business, according
to reports that come to him, and the
United States is not suffering from 1t
believes.
The president points to statements
from President Farrell of the United
States Steel corporation and Ebert
H. Gary that the outlook in the steel
industry is excellent. He does not
believe that the tariff has had any
thing to do with existing business con-
ditions, and Secretary Of Commerce
Redtield recently reported to him that
the exports of the country were in
creasing more rapidly than the I'M
ports.
In view of these facts the presi-
dent is inclined to hold to his recent
ly published statement that the exist
ing depression is psychological" and
that if business men believed That
prosperity were coming ard acted on
this belief, it would come with jump.

M'GOVERN OUT FOR
u S. SENATORSH|P
CHIEF STATE EXECUTIVE AN
NOUNcES HIS CANDIDACY
IN STATEMENT.
OPPOSES PRESENT TARIFF
Governor Declares Present Law Has
Failed to Reduce Cost of Living
Favors Regulation of Markets.

Madison.-Gov. Francis E. Mccoy
ern has issued a statement formally
announcing his candidacy for the re-
publican nomination as United States
Senator from Wisconsin, and his nomi-
nation papers are in the field for cir
culation and signatures.
The governor in the statement points
to his official record in lieu of prom
lses or platform declaration. He
says further:
For years l have advocated down
ward revision of the tariff; but l do
not approve the present law Alike in
the manner in which it was enacted,
its failure to reduce the cost of living
and its harmful effect upon industry
and agriculture in Wisconsin, it seems
to me to be fairly open to serious
criticism. Unlike it's authors, l be-
lieve in protective tariff, one that,
while discouraging monopoly, will
safeguard the interests of American
producers and consumers by means of
import duties accurately and honestly
adjusted to cover the difference in the
cost of production here and abroad,
and so tend to equalize conditions of
competition between this country and
other nations. Had the recent revision
been in conformity with these princi-
pies and had it been based upon in
formation furnished by scientific
non-partisan commission, willing Ia
Dor would not lack employment as it
does today, the price of farm produce
would not have declined nor would
the tide of industry here and every
where in the country be at its present
low ebb.
81 favor a reorganization of present
methods of distribution, especially OF
food products How to increase pros
perity on the farm, to reduce the cost
of living and to eliminate trust abuses
are not three problems, but one. Prop
er regulation of markets so as to
transfer control of them from the
hands of unconscionable spectators
to the people themselves will go a
long way toward a just and satisfac-
tory solution. BY this means the price
of farm products may be increased
the cost of living reduced and the
business of the retail dealer improved
The problem is the same in state and
nation"
Lieut.. Gov. Morris and c. E. Esta-
brook, of Milwaukee, are also avowed
candidates for the United States sena-
torship, which is now held by Isaac
Stephenson. 1t is possible that Sena-
tor Stephenson may seek renom1na-
ton.

 Two cans of Oil Wintergreen Leaf, alleged to have been ship ped by F. P. Dove, Spring Glen, New York, were seized at Boston, Massachusetts, Decem- Der 18th, on the ground that the product was misbranded in being labeled "Oil Wintergreen Leaf" as examination showed it to be a mixture of oil of winter green and methyl salicylate.

Stone and Company of New York, were seized at Chi cago, Illinois, on December 18th, on the ground that it was adul- terated in that the product con- sisted in whole or in part of a filthy, deconposed, or putrid animal or vegetable substance.

Washington, May 14.-ThG U. S.

Mexican constitutionaIists. Formal
demand that it do so is expected to

With Tampico, the second most
important seaport in Mexico in his
possession, and with Tuxpam's fall
almost an immediate certainty, the
success of the revolution is assured,
according to officials here.
Arms and ammunition; however,
are again a necessity. Without them
the constitutiOnalists cannot move
against Mexico City and the south.
Unless beIligerency of the constitu-
tionalists is recognized the q. S. can
not permit importation of war NUM-
tons either from the U. S. or through
