Gloucester, N. J, Aug. 15.—Under the glare of a hot sun, thousands of farmers massed about Governor Woodrow Wilson here today and heard him make his first campaign speech since he was officially notified a week ago of his nomination to the presi- dency. The governor spoke extemporane- ously from an improvised platform at ‘Washington park, where the farmers of New Jersey, Delaware and Penn- sylvania were participating in a farm- ers’ day celebration. The candidate dwelt mostly upon the protective tar- iff, which he called “the restrictive tariff,” attacked Senator Aldrich and his tariff making associates, pointed out the benefits of a merchant marine in connection with the Panama canal and blamed the Influence of express companies in preventing the adoption of a parcels post. Politics a Practical Affair. Governor Wilson said in part: “I am interested in politics not as & searcher for office but as a great contest devoted to something very def- inite and practical indeed. Politics ought not to be considered as a mere occaslon for oratory. Politics ought to be considered as a branch of the na- tional business, and a man who talkz politics ought to tell his fellow eciti- zens very distinctly what he thinks ebout their affairs and what his own attitude toward them is. Farmers Hold the Stage. “Here we are at a farmer's picnic and on this day I suppose we might say that the farmers occupy the cen- ter of the stage. When did the farm- ers ever oocupy the center of the stage in our politics? 1 don’t remem- ber any time. There is not a single class of the nation that ought to de- mand that it should be occupying constantly the center of the stage, but there 15 also not a single class in the nation that ought not to demand con- stantly that it be regarded as a mem- Ber of the firm in the great partner- #hip. T have seen the interests of a great many classes specially regarded in legislation, but I must frankly say that T have seldom seen the interests of the farmer regarded in legislation. And one of the greatest impositions upon tha farmer of this country that has ever been devised is the present tarifr legisiation of the United States. Not Arraying Class Against Class. “1 would be ashamed of myself if T tr#td to stir up any feeling on the part of any class against any other class. T wish to disavow all intention of sug- ®gesting to the farmer that he go in and do somebody up. That fsn't the point. AN that I am modestly sug- mesting to you is that you break into your own house and live there. And I very criticaily the character of the temants who have been occupying it. It is a2 very big house, and very few people have been 1iving in it, and the rent has been de- | manded of you and not of them. You ' have paid the money which enabled them to Mve in your own house and dominate your premises. Indictment Against the Tariff, “I reganrd tivis campaign ar I regard- &d the last one and the one befors the Jast, and every campaign In which people have taken part since the world , began—as simpiy a eontinued struggie to see to it that tha people were taken care of by thelr own government, And my indictment against the tariff is that it represents special partnerships, and does not represent the general interest. It is a long time since tariffs were made by men who even supposed that they were seeking to serve the general interests, because tariffs are not made by the general body of members of either house of congress. They have in the past been made by very small groups o findividuals In certain com- mittees of these houses who even re- fused information to thetr fellow mem- bers as to the basis upon which they had acted in framing the schedule, Aldrich’s Weather Eye. “One of the gentlemen who have been most consplouously connected with this thing has in recent years prudently withdrawn frdm public life. I mean the one-time senior senator from Rhode Isiand, Mr. Aldrich. I at least give Mr. Aldrich the credit of having had a large weather eye. He sald that the weather was c ng in Rhode Igland—even in Rhode Island as ‘well as 4n the rest of the Union; that men who had long known he was ingy posing upon them felt that the limit had been reached, and they were not going to be imposed upon any longer. Questions Affecting the Farmer. “Now thers are various questions which you gentlemen aught to realize are pending, questions directly con- cern the farmers of this country. It makes a great deal of difference to you that Mr. Taft the other day vetoed the §teel bill. It makes a difference to you in the cost of practically every tool that you use upon the farm and it is very significant, or ought to be very significant, to you that a democratic house of representatives has just pass- ed the steel tariff reduction bill over the president’s vetio, a thing 1 am in- formed is unprecedented in the history of the country, that a house should have passed the two tariff measures, the wool measure and the steel meas- ure, over the wveto of he president. ‘Why? Because these gentlemen know that they are pushing this thing for- ward against some of the most power- ful combined interests of the country and that they are under bonds to rep- resent the people of the United States and not the special parties in it. Who Has to Pay? “Tariff measures are not measures for the merchant, merely for the man- ufacturers. The farmer pays just as big a proportion of the tariff duties as anybody else. Indeed, sometimes when ‘we are challenged to say who the con- sumer is as contrasied with the pro- ducer, 80 far as the tariff is concern- ed, I am tempted to answer ‘The farmer,’ because he does not producs any of the things that get any mate- rial benefit from the tariff, and he con- sumes all of the things which are tax- ed under the tariff system. In November, 1912 “ pelieve that there is to be a great, handsome, peaceful, hopeful revolution on the 5th day of November, 1912, and that after that revolution has been accomplished men will go about their pusiness paying; ‘What was it we feared? We feared chains and we hasy won liberty, We feared to touch any- thing Jor fear we should mar it, and now everything wears the bright face of prosperity, and we knew that the right is also the profitable think and that nobody can serve a nation with- out serving also himself.” ROOSEVELT STARTS THE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE. Opens the Campaign With His Speech | in Providence Tonight. Oyster Bay N. Y., Aug. 15.—The pres- idential campaign of 1912 will be opened tomorrow by Colonel Roose- velt with an address at Providence, R. J. The colonel today completed his Providence speech and the one which he will deliver at Point of Pines, Mass., on Saturday. When he leaves New York at 1 o'clock tomorrow he will throw himself into what he expects 1o be the hardest fight of his life, which will keep him busy almost con- ptantly until election day. After a few ghort trips in the east he will start on #» swing around the country which will Jast for several weeks. Colone]l Roosevelt will enter the cam- paien with the intent of demonstrat- ing that it is to the progressive party that the country must look for a gen- winely progressive administration. He @pressed the belief today that the democratic party had not placed itself on record squarely for progressive measures, that it had no we defined programme to offer, and that Wood- row Wison had not taken a stand for such a programme. The colonel sald thet he wished to avotd attacking Governor Wilson, although it was his idea that the democratic candidate had not met the issues of the day. TCO HOT FOR THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.

Manoeuvres' Hoadquarters, Stratford, Conn., Aug. 15.—There were no collis- ions of large units of the Red and Blue armies today, and the investment of New York city was at least delayed one day. Tomorrow the general en- ent will begin somewhere on the h ridges which make the Conneoti- cut Berkshires charmingly pictur- esque for the summer boarder and the touring auomobllists. Getting Into Close Quarters. All day the Red and Blue forces were working their way into a quad- rangle which includes the town of Redding, Monroe and Newton, and it Beems fair to presume that the battie which will declde the fate of the great city will be fought over the hills and in the valleys thereabouts, If the Blues have to continue to fall back as they have been doing all week their avenues of withdrayal wil probably take them into Bethel, where the final stand can be made Saturday around their base in Danbury, Plenty of Nolse Coming. The battle will make a big racket, for the artillery musters about forty guns, and about 18,000 men of 'all arms will be engaged, Everything points to a clash on a front which will be less than four miles in length. The infan- try_will have to work over the rid and through the woods. Cavalry of both sides will fill the highways, and if there is any space left it will be pre- empted by excursion parties, for re- D from every seection of the state show that automebiles have been en- gaged in advance at prices ranging from $26 to $50 a day by these whe would dearly like to see a battle in the open, as a eontrast to one on a meving picture screen. Instructional Period Over. ‘The instructional period of the Con- necticut manveuvres ended tonight, when the various units on both sides had been placed in their final positions by General Tasker H. Bliss, who has been the commander. At daybreak the Red forces actually belong to (eneral Frederick A, Smith, U. S. A., and the Blues to General Albert 1. Mills, and each has to move on his own judg- ment and each has a fair field to win a victory. As both are veterans in the real art of war, this game in mimicry resolves itself into a test of the ability of the subordinate oticers in carrying out their orders. High Military Officials Coming. The engagement undoubtedly will bs interesting. Secretary of War Stimson and Major General Wood and many miliary guests are going to be with General Bliss, who takes up the part of chief umpire. His headquarters will be in the field, hetween the two divi- sions, and the large staff of umpires will report direct to him, and when a decision is needed he will give it, Break Camp Saturday Night. On the beamtiful of hills the twe apmies rested tomight, At 7 p. m, Saturday in and arouna Danbury the troops will begin te embark for their homes, Some will not get awaey until Sunday, byt these are mostly New York and New Jemsoy trosps, When the armies went into camp tenight they were not apart, The Reds haye been massing in the eastern part of Menroe ceunty and the Blues in the thicly woedlands west of Stepney, The changes in positions were 80 many that it was hard to follow individual unlits. Looked Like Real War. Bquads of BeWlers at crossroads could he seen studying maps and efi- cers_net ot ige engaged were out on the high points tr?l)l;g to get the lay of the land, Tt looked very much like real war.

Officers cut in machines to reach some village store would narrowly escape bein; captured, and would hustle up a and come back with a force, only to find that the scouts had withdrawn. 8Spy Put Up a Fight. Officers sent out sples. One, & wealthy young Boston banker, visited two New Jersey regiments without his red band being noticed, and then was caught by Tenth cavalrymen, who are real soldiers, General Pews' spy took to his heels and whea overtaken put up a fight until overpowered. His cap- tors took .him to a hospital, fixed him up and then treated him to a dinner. General Pew, commanding the Sec- ond Massachusetts Brigade, was one of the anxious commanders as he had learned that the Blues’ Infantry was all around him, but could not locate Colonel Parker's eavalry. He had bat- talions of men dut scouring the woods and they constantly were in contac. with the Blues. Old Veterans Enjoy the Sights. A quaint feature in the war neigh- borhood was the display of flags put out by people living along the roads. Here and there was a war flag, faded and old, and out on the lawns eat the veterans to whom the sight of the sol- diers moving, by was a famiilar onc 50 years ago. Around the wells curbs were groups of soldiers and summer girls with old oaken buckets in many places handed out cups of water to refresh the men. The area over which the engage- ment will be fought tomorrow is an ideal one, The valleys are deep and the ridges high and for the most part barren of trees.

U. S. Marines Reach Nicaragua COLLIER WITH 250 ABOARD AR- RIVED AT CORINTO TO PROTECT AMERICANS Will Be Under Orders ' of Ministeér Weitzel—Check Lawless Rebels— Probably Stopped Bombardment. Washington, Aug. 15.—The colller Justin, the state department learned today, arrived at Corinto yesterday with 250 marines, under command of Major Smedley Butler, who reported at once to the senior officer, Captain Terhune, commanding the gunboat aAn- napolis, who has been given full au- thority to deal with the military sit- uation in Nicaragua as it affects Am- erican interests. Probably Went to Managua. It is believed that this marine force was at once dlspatched to Managua, a six hours’ run over the raflroad from Corinto. Beonuse of delayed cable advices to the navy and state depart- ment, officialgy here can only oconjec~ ture what happensd after the arrival of the marines in the Nifaragua cap- ital. How this force has been used depends entirely upon the will of Am- erican Minister Weitsel, but as he has already protested to the rebels against the bombardment of Managua, filled as it is with women and children and non. combatants, it is believed he has driv- en the insurgents away from their po- sitions and stepped the bembardment, If his foree is not sufficlent for this purpose officials feel assurred that he will held the eity until reinfercements from Panama or the bluejackets of the Denver, now enreute to Cerinto, can be placed at his dispesition, The state department has let it be understood that it dees net propese to tolerate this lawless shelling and kili- ing ef helpless women and ehildren and endangering Ameriean lives and seizing and destreying American prep- erty, The axcials are quite emphatie in peinting out that General Mena, the head of the revelution, has complete- ly alienated the sympathies of this government by his eonduet of the re- bellion. WILL CUT ouT SEVEN YEAR TENURE. This Must be Taken from Appropria- tion Bill Now Before the House. Washington, Aug. 15.—The demo- cratic leaders failed today in their third successive effort to override the president whe nthey sought to pass the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill over Mr. Taft’s veto, The vote, 153 to 107, was 20 short of the requisite two-thirds of those vot- ing. As a result, the bill will be taken In hand tomorrow mornifg, shorn of the provision to which the president objected, fixing a seven year tenure for government employes under the civil service, and sent on its way agatn, The other feature to which the pres- ident objected, the abolition of the commerce court, will be left in the measure, but the temper of the senate on this programme s yet to be ascer- talned. It Is acknowledged at both ends of the capitol that there s a strong @entiment against the continu- ance of the court, and objection by the senato for th‘l:l{rmon 18 not expected. Bo gtrong 18 the sentiment against the tribunaj, that leaders of heth the sen- ate gnd house beliove that if the pres. ident vetoes the bill, as changed, it ean be passed over his ohjection, Tn the vote in the houge thers were many pecullar ehanges of front on the part of the dgmoesats and “insurgent” republicans, the latter's votes having been the decidlng factors in passing the wool and steel tariff revision bills over the president's vete, Eighteen demecrats, among them Reilly of Con- nectieut, deserted their party en the roll eall, while 13 “insurgent” repub- licans voted with the majority. g —_,— WALKING THE TRACKS WHEN STRUCK BY TRAIN.

New York, Aug. 15.—At the request of District Attorney Whitman, the grand jury today withheld the fling of its pending Indictments agalnst the murderers of Herman Rosentbal in order to hear the testimony of Sam Schepps, now on his way here from Hot Bprings, Ark, in the custody of Assistant District Attorney Rubin. While the county prosecutor believes that the evidence thus far submitted to the jury is sufficient for the pur- poses of Indictment he advised the Jury today that.it would be best to hear the testimony of Schepps in or- der further to strengthen the evidence.

"It is essential that all the evidence be 8o presented that in- dictments found against the several defendants may be properlv found. I roquested the grand jury myself to delay the filing of the indictments un- tl Tuesday, and 1 assume that it was at my request that such a delay oc curred.
