ATTACKS THE PRESIDENT
AS POWERFUL DICTATOR
Senator Weeks Discusses Mr.. Will
sons Personal Domination in
Legislation by Congress.

BOSTON, September 26.-An attack
on President Wilson as "a dictator"
who 'is in effect more powerful under
present conditions than any ruler in
the world" was made by United States
Senator Weeks Of Massachusetts,. at
the annual dinner Of the Middlesex Club
last night. Senator Weeks charged
President Wilson with abandoning his
party principles without consultation
'He had hardly become President"
said the senator. before he substan-
TALLY gave UP all communication with
his party leaders, and even his political
family, the cabinet; withdrew himself
from public view. and during the past
two years has practically dictated what
Congress should and should not do. His
course has been in effect destruction
of representative government"
Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana made
what was announced as his first ap-
pearance in behalf of the candidacy Of
Charles E. Hughes. He criticised the
Adamson bill.
Better suffer strike than see the
government abdicate," he declared.

RIDICULES Statement

Prohibition Leader Denies More
Spirits Are Sold in ssDry" States
Than in "Wet" States.

RATION. N. NJ. September 26-The ar
gument that more liuor is sold in dry"
states than in ''wet," frequently ad-
vaced by the saloon interest, was de-
clared SILLY" today by Dr.. Ira Land
rith. prohibition candidate for Vice
President, at the last meeting of the
dry" special train campaigners in New
Mexico.
do you think for a minute that if
the assertion were true the liquor in
terests would be fighting prohibition? ?"
he asked.
Wouldn't it be good business for
them to make every endeavor to in
crease in dry territory If their sales
increased proportionately? 1t certainly
would. and they are wise enough to
know that. They would be contribut-
ing to the expenses of this special train
if liquor consumption would be in
creased by our work, and l give you
my word they have not given us a
cent"
From here the special train left for
Colorado. Meetings were to be held
today at Trinidad, Lajunta, ROCKFORD

Brings Encouraging News.
John G. Capers, who has been cam
paigning recently in West Virginia.
brought encouraging reports from that
state. as well as from Indiana and Ken
lucky. Some Of the Independent voters
Of the southern states, he said. would
surprise the rest Of the country by the
votes which they cast for represents
tives in Congress. He predicted that a
of republicans would be sent to
the House from those states. The SEN
timent, he said, in favor of Hughes had
grown strong in southern states in the
last few weeks. where heretofore the
voters had been lined up solidly' for
President Wilson. He told the Hughes
Club that Senator Borab of Idaho, who
has been campaigning in West Vir-
ginia the last two weeks, has won hun
dredS of votes for Hughes.
Judge A. A Freeman of New Mexico,
who is now living in British Columbia,
attacked the foreign policy of the ad-
ministration, and declared that it had
made the United States the laughing
stock of the world He said that the
means taken by President Wilson and
the democratic Congress to settle the
recently threatened railroad strike were
leading to socialism of the worst and
meanest kind.
Rev. Dr. LIE Grand Powers. former
commissioner of labor in Minnesota
also attacked President Wilson's treat
ment of the labor situation, saying
that. according to the Presidents view
OF the situation, the laboring man was
either "a knave, a fool OF a purchas-
able product"
Speeches were also made by Col
Stratton of Pennsylvania and William

Turner'S Protection Sop.

peAhSs
Turner'S Protection Sop.
Judge Turner afso favors protection
for Washington products. While he be-
lieves the Underwood bill is generally
good. he has said in his public state
ments that the schedules which affect
this state were accepted hastily and
without proper consideration.
Generally Judge Turner'S tariff state
ment was disappointing to the old-l1ne
republicans who have talked OF pott.
ing Poindexter. They had hoped that
Turner would come closer to their side
of the question. Aside from PERSONAL
tiles. they regard the Poindexter state
ment as more inviting.
: 1t Is difficult to see how Judge Turner
could have gone further in his tariff
statement and have retained the sup
port of his own party. To do so would
have made it necessary to repudiate
the democratic national platform, and
If his fellow democrats became fmbued
with the idea that he was pandering to
republicans he would have lost more
than he would gain.
The Turner hope of success lies in the
strength of President Wilson and the
likelihood that a. considerable number
of old guard republicans will bolt Poin-
dexter.
On the other hand, the Poindexter
supporters suggest that many demo-
Gratis voted for their candidate in the
republican primary and probably will
vote for him again at the general cleo
ton.
They do not regard the disaffection of
Humphreys followers as serious. They
contend that few old guards will in
surge when it comes to voting. Such
heresy, they aver. is unthfnkable, be-
cause it Is the one thing that the old
line republicans have been decrying for
four years.

He has been absolutely fair to all. His

whole emphasis has been put, not on
excitement, or peculiar doctrines or
money, but on getting men and wom-
