COMPLETE ACCORD
FOUND BY MOOSER
Medill Mccormick Sees Perfect
Harmony Between Parties;
Whacks Wilson

Medill Mccormick of Chicago, lead
er of the Bull Moose herd in Illinois.
is now stumping for the Republican
ticket in Maine. stopping on the way
in New York he was asked what he
had heard of the trend OF Progress
sive feeling. This is what he said:
III talk only about the State l have
accurate reports FROM he replied.
In Illinois ] know of only one county
where the Progressives and the Re-
publicans are not working together in
complete harmony. There is harmony
now in Indiana. The trouble in Mich
isan amounted to little. There seem
to be no difference left in either of
the Dakotas. In Nebraska the Pro-
gressives have indorsed Hughes.
There is complete harmony in Kansas.
My reports indicate that at least so
per cent. of the Progressives in these
States will vote for Hughes and the
percentage will run higher out on the
coast.
Il am now certain that Hughes will
carry Illinois by 100000, figuring on
the basis of the male vote of the State.
We expect that about 100000 women
will vote for President in Illinois and
experience has shown that the women
divide politically just about as their
husbands and brothers do. I feel so
sure of my own election as Congress
man-at-large that l can take time to
go afield and help the heads of the
ticket"
Wilson Speech Beautiful, But
How did the Presidents speech of
acceptance strike you?"
1T was lovely document" said Mr..
Mccormick, really quite beautiful. No
hner presentation of their side of it
could have been made. 1t reads like
novel. One could set 1t to music and
be charmed to sleep. I am going to
list these in a 5000 word speech in
Maine, so I will merely point out one
of the obvious ones
Mr.. Wilson speaks of the right of
the weak, small States to be dealt
with exactly as large, powerful States
are dealt with. How about Hayti?
The only government there is supplied
by the United States Marine Corps.
He speaks of the atrocious Huerta.
usurper, and yet he quickly recog-
nized Yuan Shih Kai. He declined to
time equal recognition TO Carranza
and Villa.
Changes Front Too Rapidly
The last domestic pronouncement
of Carranza's l know of was his sold
statement to the striking railroad
workers of Mexico that If they did not
return to work he would execute every
The trouble with Wilson is that he
changes front so rapidly that you never
know where to find him. He once
characterized as absurd any iden that
child labor could be prohibited by
Federal enactment He was against
the tariff commission and the trade
commission and the whole principle of
investigation and regulation by COM
mission. Where is he now?
1T was not so long ago that he
characterized the demand for military
preparedness as nervous excitement
and solemnly averred he would not
be moved by it. Now none boasts
louder than he of his services toward
preparedness.
What can you do with such a man?
He has evidently been a student of
Disraeli, who always presented in a
parliamentary program those things
ne mad opposed at the preceding cleo
ton"

HUGHES SCORES
EIGHT-HOUR LAW
Says Failure of Settlement but
Another Step From Abdica-
lion of Government

Hampton Beach, \. H., Sept. Z. -
Charles Z. Hughes. in an address here
to-day referred to the Adamson law
mot as an eight-hour day law, but
a wage law" and declared that failure
of peaceful settlement of industrial
disputes was but another step from
the abdication of government itself"
His audience applauded loudly.
I'VE cannot afford to surrender
what we have won for our institu-
tions in this country" the nominee
said. What have we won? Have
won the right to free discussion, a
free press, a Democratic form of gov
ernment, free assemblage, free legis-
latures and an executive chosen by
We have left tyranny. We have left
force. They shall not come back if
we can prevent it.
I'VE have recently seen What 1 re-
gard as a very deplorable surrender of
that principle. l am for the arbitra-
ton of industrial disputes. That is
in the interests of labor. Labor can
not afford to surrender that principle.
ut Is a Wage Law
I'VE have recently had, at the pro-
posal of the executive. an act passed
by Congress confessedly in ignorance
of the facts, confessedly in ignorance
of what justice demands. 1t is not
an eiSht-hour day law. 1t is a wage
law and nobody knew whether it was
just or not.
Now 1 am for justice in everything
but 1 propose that in all we do we
shall investigate first and then legis-
late. Our methods in this country
are of priceless Importance to US be-
cause they are methods which con-
serve our peace. 1t is only one step
from peaceful settlement of such dis
putes to the denunciation OF our
courts and all the machinery of peace
full settlement is only another step
to the abdication of government it.

Posse Trails Masked
Bandits Who Failed in Try
to Hold Up Fast Train
By .4tsoeilte9 Prrss

Douglas, Ariz., Sept. Z. - Six mask
ed bandits. who last night held up the
Golden State Limited of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railway, near
Apache, 40 miles east of Douglas early
to-day were being trailed by a sheriff s
posse. organized mmediately after the
holdup. The attempted robbery was
q complete failure.
The bandits after six attempts to
blow open the safe of the express car,
abandoned the job and disappeared on
COW ponies. The passengers were not
molested. One shot was fired at the
mail clerk, as he closed the door and
locked himself in the car. Two of the
robbers boarded the tender at Apache,
covered the engine crew with revolv-
ers, and after the first three cars were
detached, were Joined by four COM
panions awaiting at a camp fire near

State Coal Commission
Begins Probe of Rates

Philadelphia, Sept. Z. - The State
Coal Commission appointed by Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, began a probe here
to-day into the increase in price of
anthracite. Retailers were examined to
prove the advance in the cost of do
mestic coal, but denied they rad en-
tered into conspiracy to mulct the
public. All pleaded that they were
making a small margin of profit.
The probe will probably occupy
three days and many witnesses will be
subpenaed. The object is to deter
mine whether retailers have returned
the unconstitutional coal tax, amount
ing TO about twenty-five cents a ton,
and whether there was a "gentleman's
agreement" between the retailers to
force an unreasonable schedule of
prices upon consumers.

Cancel Phone Contract
as Economy Measure

At the last meeting of the School
Board resolution was adopted can
)celiing the contract of the Cumber-
land Valley Telephone company. For
several years the schoolbuildings have
been provided with the phones of both
systems and in the interest of economy
the Board decided that the United
phones might be removed.
When II was decided TO install both
systems in the schoolbuildinys the
argument was made that inasmuch as
many patrons of the schools use A
single phone it was only fair that both
systems should be installed in The
buildings and at the School Board
offices. After consideration of the
matter the directors concluded that
economy should be exercised in the
telephone facilities.

Rule of Force" Assailed
by Hughes at Beverly

Beverly, Mass. Sept. Z. North
Shore residents turned out in large
numbers to-day to greet Charles E
Hughes, who made a brief stop here
on his way to New Hampshire and
Maine. Mr.. Hughes, speaking from
the platform of his private car, again
assailed the rule of force"
I'VE are all together and must
share in the prosperity of the country
on Just and fair basis if we are to
have an enduring stability and pros
perity," he said.
But underlying all that is the
necessity of having the reign of rea-
son in this country.
If I were the Executive of the
United States l would not yield to
force effected by capital or labor or
any one in this country, short of a
fair examination of the facts and
knowledge of what the case actually
demanded. Labor least of all can af-
ford to surrender the rule of reason.
This country must never know the
rule of force. 1t must never know
legislation under oppression. am
opposed to that. I am opposed to
everything which pertains to the ex-
erclse of arbitrary power by any one"

The column started a day or two
later, Travis accompanying it. Often
the men exchanged words. BransOme
would look curiOUsly at Travis, but
he could gather nothing from the
agents inscrutable countenance.
There was, however, little time for
thinking. On the sixth day the enc
my's stronghold was sighted. The
messenger who went forward with a
summons to surrender was met with
defiant shouts from the negroes.
Half an hour later the seven-poUnd-
ers opened fire on the rebel stockade.
A fusillade from elephant guns fol-
lowed, but few of the attacking party
were hit. Presently the guns ceased;
a breach had been made in the
strong walls, built of hardwood logs
and almost as resistant as cement
and mortar.
The regiment spread out in line.
Bransome ran before them, waving
his sword. "AdVancew he shouted. |
Then he saw Travis beside him in
his civilian clothes. The agents

mark for an enemy. GO back, you

But Travis ran beside him, and
Bransome had no time for argument. |
The whole line followed, with fixed
bayonets, roaring behind him. The
bullets chuTned among the trees and |
cut splinters from the boughs. Show
ers of leaves came down.
The yelling, defiant Krus manned |
the walls of the preached stockade. |

who had by some miracle escaped
unscathed, put himself at their head
again. Advanced" he shouted.
And again he was conscious of
Travis in his white helmet, cool and
smiling, beside him.
1t was a mad rush toward the
walls. Just as the foremost man set
foot in the breach the cannon roared
again. The files were swept away.
And again Bransome found himself
uninjured.
Now, boysr' he shouted, amazed
to find that he was still alive.
The attacking party, which had re-
cOiled, heaped one man against his
neighbor, and, the dead all about,
rushed forward, cheering. Like a
cataract the khaki-clad column swept
over the breach, driving the logged
negroes before them, pinioning them
with the bayonet. In moment the
fort was carried.
From hut to hut the flying Krus
were pursued. They fell in writhing
heaps, their own gun turned against
them. For perhaps half an hour the
bloody struggle lasted. Then the
British were in possession of the vii
lage.
Bransome stopped; he had forgot
ten everything in the excitement of
the battle. His sword was bloody,
and yet he could not remember hav-
