Notable Contribution to Ma
tion'S History, Says Chair
man Wilcox.

NEW YORK. Sept. William r.
Wilcox. chairman of the Republican
national committee. believes that
Colonel Roosevelt's first speech in
behalf Of Charles E. Hughes, at Lew
Iston, Me-, Thursday night not only
is of inestimable value to the Repub-
lican candidate, but is "a noteworthy
contribution to the history of the
nation"
Plunglng into the Maine campaign
the colonel assailed the Wilson adj
mlnistration for its policy, flayed hy-
phenism and held President Wilson
responsible for IAN evil revival of
non-American and anti-American d.
vision along politico-raclal lines"
Weakened National Spirit.
This is due. primarily, the colonel
said. to the fact that President VIII
son had lacked the courage and the
vision to lead this nation in the path
of his duty, and by this lack of af-
firmatlye leadership has loosened the
moral fibre of our people. weakened
our national spirit and has encour-
aged the upgrowth within our bor-
ders OF separation along the lines of
racial origin"
The colonel declared the citizen
who seeks to shape American policy
In the interest of the country from
which he or his ancestors came has
no moral right to American citizen

BURTON
WILL STUMP
THE STATE
More Fine Reports Brought to
Republican State Head
quarters by Visitors.

Former Senator Theodore E. Bur
ton, OF Ohio. who was a candidate for
the Republican presidential nomination
and who received q substantial vote
on the first two ballots in the Chicago
convention of the party, will be one Of
the big guns in the Republican cam
paign in West Virginia. This an
nouncement was made at Republican
state headquarters Saturday by Secre-
tary Charles G.. Coifman.
Although Mr.. Buttons itinerary has
not yet been arranged 1t Is practically
certain that he will make a speech in
Clarksburg. The Ohio statesman made
fine impression in Clarksburg when
he spoke here on Memorial day, and
local people will insist that he be sent
here for a speech. And there's an
other reason. The former senator likes
Clarksburg and 1t is certain that he
would be pleased to make a speech
here. His tour Of the state will prob
ably begin early in October. although
no official announcement to this effect
las been made.
Visitors to state headquarters con-
tnue to bring glowing reports Of party
harmony in all parts Of the state.
Among those who visited headquarters
Friday were Wallace Gribble, Of West
Union, candidate for the state senate
from the Twelfth district, which is
composed OF Harrison. Lewis and
Doddridge counties; Charles AmIen, a
prominent business man Of Wheeling:
and V. T. Hanley, of Grafton. chairman
of the Taylor county Republican COM
rlittee,
Mr.. Gribble was enthusiastic over
the outlook for his election and for
the success Of the Republican national
and state tickets. He has been look
ing things over in the Twelfth district
for the last few days and he told secre-
tary Cotfman Friday that the party
was never in better shape.
Messrs. Amien and Hanley brought
fine reports of party harmony in Ohio
and Taylor counties. The success OF
the Republican tickets in these coun-
ties is certain, they said.

FREIGHT EMBARGO
Applies Only to Perishables and
Explosives and InfIamma-
bIes, 1t is Announced.

In reporting the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company's embargo
on freight in Fridays issue of the
Telegram 1t was stated that shipments
Of all kinds, except perishables, were
being refused by the local freight Of
fee. This was an error. The embar-
go applies only to perishables, explo-
sives and infammahles, everything
else being accepted for shipment. The
embargo will be in force until the
strike order Is resclnded, which will
probably be late Saturday night or
Sunday.
1t was explained that the object Of
refusing shipments of explosives and
infammables was that, in case OF a
strike, 1t would be dangerous to leave
cars, loaded with these objects, stand
ing for any length Of time.

SENATE NOT TO CHANGE
BILL FROM THE HOUSE
tay ASSOCIATED parss,

WASHINGTON. Sept. . The en-
actment into law of enough of Presi-
dent Wilson's program to prevent a
railroad strike seemed assured when
the Senate re-assembled this morn
ing with a program which called for a
vote not later than o'clock this
evening.
1t was the belief of administration
leaders that the Adamson bill as it
passed the House late yesterday, APP
proved by President Wilson and for
mally accepted by the labor leaders
as meeting their demands. would
eventually be accepted by the Senate,
thus obyiating delay in conference
to reconcile differences with the
House.
AS soon as the perfected bill final
ly is passed a special messenger will
carry 1t to the summer White House
at Shadow Lawn so the president may
sign it at once and end the menace
of general paralysis of the coun-
try's transportation lines at z o'clock
Monday morning.
The first amendment proposed today
came from Senator Shaffroth, Demo-
crat. He proposed to fix Senator I'm
derwoods amendment, empowering
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to make wage schedules so that no en-
ployee would be compelled to work
for the rate prescribed.
Senator Hardwick. Democrat, de-
claring Congress was being held up
by the railroad employees, spoke for
the adoption of the Underwood amend
ment.
I'VE viii lnot measure up to what is
required of us" he said unless we
not only bridge over this crisis but
also provide that there never can
arise again in this country an oppor-
tunity for any man or set Of men, rail-
read managers or workers, to seize
this government by the throat as is
row being done. II we do not do this
l. for one, will feel that we have made
sorry trade as well as a sorry spec
tacIe OF ourselves"
Senator Thomas also proposed an
amendment to make it a misdemeanor
FOR any person to delay or obstruct the
operation of trains punishable by a
fine of not more than $500 or imprison-
ment for not more than one year. or
both.
