Roosevelt Gives Politics a Rest for a Day. Memphis, Sept. 25—Ex-President Roosevelt dropped his campaign to- day and talked deep watéerways and bear hunting instead. He spent most of the day in Little Rock, Ark., and came to Memphis wnl%h It was a | rainy, depressing day. &anl Roose- velt was fatigued when he arrived here and went to hig room. Rock to Memphis, the colonel went out to his platform to greet a small com~ pany assembled in the rain to see him as he passed through. He talked to them for a moment. “You ought to belong to the progressive party,” he said, “if for no other reason because we are trying to abolish boss rule.” B PLATFORM NOT RADICAL. Governor Johnson Defends IE at Hart- ford and New P!uvul; Hartford, Sept. 25.—Critics of the ‘progressive party who have termed the “radical Governor Johnsom, the vice presiden- tial candidate, in speeches he made today here and in New Haven. ‘It has been charged that our platform is unduly radical” he said, “and you may think such is the case. Not so. Imperial has carried out the programme in full; royal England has gone half the way and under Lioyd George is going the full way. “Oh, you business men, who canmnot understand that you must meet this problem and do it justice. If it {s not solved you are coming, evemtually, to that radicalism that nothing that you have. 8o it devolves upon us to meet this human problem face to face and solve it. “The progressive party is the omly one that seeks a solution of it. I wish that all parties would lend their ef- forts to its solution. I wish that all of us could go forward hand in hand and do our duty toward humankind, for this problem is greater than any office and greater than any man.” The states rights doctrine of the democratic party, the governor told a crowd at New Haven, is responsible for the failure of that organization to take a stand on child labor. He said that with “each state separate and ‘warring against each other” it would be impoesible for the federal govern- ment to put into force effective child labor legislation, In the same address the governor criticised Governor Wilson for his al- laged failure to make h If clear on the tariff issue. “From reading the speeches of the democratic candidate for president, I am unable to deter- mine just what schedules he would reduce and just what part of his plat- form programme he would carry out,” the governor declared, Although the paths of the two gov- erners, Wilson and Johnson, crossed today, the candidates Gid not meet. It was expected they would be in New Haven at the same time, Governor Johnson starting for hers and Govern- or Wilsen, who spoke here this after- noon, arriving thers for a night ad- dress.

New Haven, Conn., Sept. 25—Gov. ‘Woodrow Wilson admittedly went fur- ther today toward defining his idess on progressive principles than he has since he became the presidential nom- inee of the democratic party. In a speech that was geceived with marked entheslasm at Hartford, and another at New Havem tonight, the governor explained that he favored the Iditia- tive and the referendum, as well as the recall of admin‘strative officers, but that he was unjualifiedly opposed tb the recall of the judiclary. Gov. Sim- eon E. Baldwin iatroduced Governor ‘Wilson. Direct Election of Senators. The democratic presidential nominee illustrated some of the points in hs speech, which included comment on the direct primary system and the di- rect election of United States sena- tors, by references to present condi- tions on the Paclfic coast. He was asked tonight whether, i~ his refer- ences to California he' had in mind the preseénce in Hartford and New Haven today at different hours of Gov Johnson of California. Gov- ernor n said he had not thought of that. “If I did not believe that to be progressive was to preserve the es- sentials of our institutions, I for one could not be progressive” said the governor. 7 - Seats in Senate Bought. After paying tribute to the charac- ter of the majority of the men of the United States senate, the governor sald: “It would be palnful to repeat to you some of the processes by which seats have been bought in the United States senate, and you know, as the whole people of the United «States know, that a little group of senators holding the balance of power has again and again been able to defeat imes of reform upon which the whole country had set its heart. “Am Acting Consistently.” “And while it is true that American forces are awake that thev can con- duct Amerfcan processes without seri- ous departure from the ideals of the constitution, it is nevertheless true that we have had many shameful in- stances of practices which we can ab- solutely remove by the direct election of senators by the people themselves And, therefore, I for one will not al- low any man who knows his history to to me that I am acting inconsist. & with elther the spirit or the foi the direct election of United States senators. Initiative, Referendum and Recall. “Let's get another step deeper. 1 hope you won’t think that 1 am going too far in even mentioning in your presence those extreme doctrines of the initiative and the referendum and the recall. It is the last word that makes most men shrink. There ara communities, there are states in the union, in which I am quite ready to admit that it is perhaps premature, that perhaps it will never be neces- sary, to discuss these measures. Bu: I want to call your attention to the fact that these measures have been discussed and have been adopted In those states where the electorate had been convinced that they did not have representative government. Let no man deceive himself by the fallacy that anybody proposes to substitute direct legislation by the people or a direct reference of laws voted in the legislature to the vote of the people for representative government. Th- most eager advocates of these reforms have always said that they were in- tending to recover representative gov- ernment, that they had no place where those who were elected to legislative chambers were really representative ol the community which they profess to serve. 3 Recall of Administrative Officers. “The initiative is & means of recap- turing the seat of legislative authority on behalf of the people themselves. The referendum is a means of seeing to it that unrepresen ve measures aTe not put upon the statute books but are checked by being submitted to the vote of the people. When you resort to the recall the principle is that if an administrative officer—for we will be- gin with an administrative officer—is corrupt or so unwise as to be doing things that are likely to lead to all sorts of mischief in the future, it will he possible by a sedate and slow pro- cesg prescribed by the law to get rid of that officer before the end of his term. Because yvou must admit that it is a little inconvenient sometimes to have what someone calls an astro- nomical system of government, a sys- tem of government in which you can’t change anything until there has been a certain number of revolutions of the season, ] don't see how any man wh> {e grounded In the traditions of Amer- ican affairs, particularly as they derive their origin from New England, can file any valld objection to the recall of administrative officers. Opposes Recall of Judges. | “It 1s ancther matter when it comes | to the judiclary. I myself have never Great applanse interrupted the speaker at this point, and he centin- ued: “Not that some judges haven't de- served to be recalled—that jen't the point, But because: that is threaten- ing the sympioms Instead of the dis There have been gsupreme courts in our states at which men without privilege could not get justice, There have been eorrupt judges; there have been contrelled judges.

TWO CARS OVERTURNED Impo: ible to Determine if Optical Nerve of Inventor is Injured—Se- verely Bruised About the Body. Spezia, Italy, Sept. 25.—William Marconi, of wireless fame, was in- jured today in an automobile accident near Borkhetto, in the valley of the Vara river. The extent of his in- juries have not been entirely dis- closed, but he was brought back to this city with bandages around his head. He was suffering from a wound of the right eye, and his right cheek and temple were badly bruised. Collided With Another Auto. Mr. Marconi was motoring with his wife when shortly after passing Borg- hetto in turning a sharp curve his machine came into collision” with aa automobile which was proceeding from Genoa. Both cars were overturned. Mrs. Marconi was not injured, but Mr, Marconl's secretary and the chauffeur received slight injuries. In the other car were five women, all of whom were found to be suffering from severe bruises and shock when assisted from the wreckage. Optical Nerve May Be Injured. ‘When word of the accident was re ceived here ap automobile from the naval department was despatched to the scene. It returned with Mr. and Mrs. Marconi. The former's injuries had already been dressed by a physi- clan who was summoned immediateiy after the collision. Mr. Marconi had been a visitor at the royal hunting jodge at San Rossore, near Coltano, and a report of the accident was im- mediately telegraphed to the king. Marconi was removed to the hospital of the naval department. An eye spe- clalist who made a careful examina- tion said that he hoped that the opti- cal nerve was not injured, but that it was impossible to say until the swell- ing had been reduced. Severe Bruises About Body. Marconl also received severe bruises about the body. His temperature was reported to be above 100, and it was also announced that he was bearing considerable pain with fértitude. Among the inquiries was one made by the Kking.

Bept. 25.—President Taft was the principal speaker today Altoona, Pa., ing there of the loyal war governors, who decided that Abraham Lincoln and his war policy should be upheld, and his call for more troops should be met promptly with volunteers. Through that meeting and those which followed, the president declared, there entered into the soul of Lincoln the conviction that the country was be- hind him in his effort to end the war and bring the south back into the union. The fourteen loyal governors who supported Lincoln in the dark days of 1862, the president called he- roes who did not advertise the deeds they were about to do, who made no use of “buts” and “ifs” But who said “We'll see you through.” The president's speech dealt almost entirely with the conferences of the war governors, but he reserved a sen- tence or two for prosperity talk. e REPUBLICAN TARIFF TRAIN ON THE TRAIL OF WILSON.
