"the rule of reason", assuring the lumber Interests that while the plat form did call for , the placing of lumber on the free list, that the very same plank In the platform assailed the trail! protected : trusts of . the country,, and that this part of it, which would confer benefit . upon them, woul 1 be held as sacred by the sentinels of democracy as would that part of it Which they thought would hurt them, and having in mind democratic history of demo cratic tariff bills, when they were prepared as a whole, covering the whole range of tariff duties, with the view of equal justice to all sections and all interests. "It never once occurred to me (re gretfully do I say it) that North Car olina democratic congressmen would be expected to join hands with a re publican congress to strike down this pitifully small tax on lumber In a tariff bill so iniquitously protective that republicans themselves rebelled at It and the enactment of which into law turned their party out of power and gave us the present demo cratic house of representatives. Forgetting the Balance of the Plank. Much less did It occur to me that when this democratic house should assemble, elected squarely upon an issue of tariff reform on this same platform, that It would forget all the balance of this tariff plank. pledging the people relief from exac tions of the iriff protected and trust organised manufacturers of the coun try, and accept as their pet measure a trade agreement originated and fathered-by the republican president and championed by the leading high priests of protection of the country. Including Mr. Aldrlch himself, and which merely amounts to placing on the free list the products of the farm and the farmer, while leaving him stlU at the complete mercy of the protected trust manufacturers of the country. I would most surely have consid sred myself guilty of treason to the party if I had from democratic state headquarters prophesied any such course during the campaign of 1808. Some Inacvsinuiea. - "There are a few slight inaccu racies la Mr. Ellers statement in yes terday's paper, which, while they may be of little Interest to the public, are of some Importance to me. Quoting from his letter: , " 'I did not have the time nor did I deem it necessary to read all of the many excellent articles written by Mr. MaxwelL .1 directed him to re publish in this supplement the letter of Mr. Chaa, Ross, a manufacturer of lumber, and the laniruage referred to by Senator Simmons is found la Mr. Maxwell's Introductory remarks to this letter.' .... Printed In the News and Observer. "Mr. Eller's memory is at fault In that this article. Introduction and all, was not prepared originally, for the campaign supplement that was circo lated so extensively, but was first pub lished, with exactly the same Intro duction, as a special campaign circu lar, of which 10. 000 copies were cir culated throng county, township and precinct democratic chairmen. , It was then run in the News and Ob server on October 18, on first column. first page, with exactly the same heading' and Introduction, as I find by reference to ..l Ties, 11 days before the exteulve ..c.spaper supplement was issued. This statement of its extensive circulation, and at different times, will, perhaps be sufficient an swer to any suggestion of treason or secrecy in connection with it. . With this circulation of 200,000 copies of It, at different times during the cam paign, surely if there had been any treason in it, or betrayal of party faith, somebody would have discov ered It. Another Break. , "Quoting again from Mr. ' Eller's statement: " 'After Senator Simmons' vote on the lumber schedule of the Payne-Ald- rich bill. Mr. Maxwell published let' ter in the newspapers in support of Senator Simmons position. "Merely to keep history straight, mv letter to which Mr. Eller refers was not In support of Senator Simmons, but in support of the position taken by the entire delegation In the House and Senate from North Carolina with the single exception of Congress man Kltchln. It was no more in sup port of Senator Simmons than of Sen ator Overrun and Congressmen Small, Thomas, Pou, Godwin, Paga and Webb, all of whom had taken posi tions in congress as I had predicted in the campaign they would do, and refused to single out lumber as the one article to be slaughtered on the altar of the Payne-Aldrlch tariff bill. The fact is that Senator Simmons and myself were barely on speaking terms at that time. In my zealous support of Governor Kltchln for governor It chanced that I was spokesman for the Kltchlu following In the Craven coun ty convention, where Senator Sim mons' friends were strong, and bend ing every effort to defeat Kltchln for governor, and the passages were not at all .limes courteous. 1 . distinctly remember retting 'run over In an effort to defeat, for tactical reason, a resolution of endorsement of Senator Simmons. But I felt that In trying to defend this entire group of distin guished democrats In our delegation in congress. Including Senator Sim mons, I was doing a party service. It Was Dropped. "The fight on them was at that time, for some reason, dropped. - When it came time to pass upon the renomina tion of these congressmen last year nothing was heard about their having repudiated the national platform, and they, who had been elected in 1808, when the present national platform was effective, were all of them re nominated except one of. them who was not a candidate, and he came near being renominated, although he had pledged himself In writing not to run i ln and was standing by it Why Is It that thesa were all re-nom- Inated without protest, and that after they are safely returned to congress the onslaught la again revived against Senator Simmons, who was in fart elected to the senate before the pres ent national platform was adopted? Can't a better reason than this be found for defeating Senator Simmons 1 Tlie Original Point. "Now back to the original point the News and Observer's persistent in sinuation of Improper connection be- twen. the lumber article and my con nection with the lumber business. I have no doubt that that Insinuation will go with some people. I am will ing to take; the responsibilities that come to a grown man and not com plain. But to the editor of the News and Observer, of all men. I do deny tne ngnt to send out such insinuations for you, Mr. Daniels, if no one else does, . know the exact . circumstances under which I gave myself to .the work of the party in. that campaign. You, doubtless, remember that about the time the campaign began to warm up you wired me to come to Raleigh. I answered that I was too busy to do so unless it was necessary. You re- memper you wired me then to meet you In Ooldsboro, and that I did so; that you told me I was badly needed at state headquarters to-take-charge of the literary bureau for the cam paign. I told you that I could not do so that In addition to my usual busi ness, I had some special business on hand at that time I could not afford to neglect Tou persisted with per suasions too , tedious ; to enumerate, and finally, as I had also had a mes sage from .Chairman Eller just previ ous to that time, i accepted the call to party service, and for the balance of that campaign gave myself to the cause am unreservedly as a young swain to his first sweetheart Tou know and .understand all this. Quit our Insinuations. . - "My Information is that I have be hind me three generations of more or ess obscure disciples .of Thomas Jefferson, and loyalty to my party has almost amounted to a religious faith. I have to acknowledge that I was so unfortunate as to be it one time in terested In a small in the lumber business, but I worked out of it under conditions practically amounting to bankruptcy, and I have done penance for it until I feel that I can look any Nterth Carolina free-wood-pulp-and-print-paper newspaper man in 'the face and claim to be as white as he la "Tours truly, .

Counsel for See made an Im mediate appeal for a re-trial of the case. See's flat the home of Absolute Life, named In the cult publication as the House of the Lord," was entered by the police In January. See was ar rested, and two young girls, Mona Rees, aged 21, and Mildred Bridges, aged 17, who had. been living in the apartment were taken into custody. Mrs. Felicia Rees and Mrs. Idicille Bridges, moth ers of the girls and followers of See, also were closely quostioned. The po lice investigation resulted in a charge of abduction against 8ee. Stephen Bridges, a wealthy jeweler, father of Mildred, whose wife admitted she had contributed 11,000, 1500 and - many smaller monthly sums to See's sup' pott, aided the police in gaining evi dence. He also began action for di vorce and suit for alienation of affec tions against See. While In jail See continued writing and preaching his doctrine of a perfect race, to be estab lished through the new belief. See refused to take the stand in his defense, the chief witnesses being the girls and their mothers, all apostles of See. The girls repudiated, an al leged confession, said to have been made to the police, that the See flat had been used for Immortal purposes, and took refuge in the language of Absolute life, which to most of those In the court room proved unlntelligl gle. - - Mr. Bridges, for the state, testified that his daughter had refused to re turn home after being quarantined with scarlet fever in See's flat He also testified that on returning sud denly from out of the city he had found Mrs.. Bridges at the home of Absolute Life. ' Pueblo, Mex., July 14.

Wednes day's night's fight 'according to wit nesses, was provoked by three men. one of whom wasfsald to be a son of former Governor Mucciov Martinet, who passed the bull ring where the Maderlstas were quartered and fired into the place and into the barracks of the Zaragosa battalion of state troops, opposite. . ; , . '- 1 The fire was taken up by both sides. each thinking the other had started trouble. 'The fight was bloody , and among the forty dead were several women and a federal lieutenant col onel, Moises Breton. The affair Is laid by the revolutionists to the door of the Cientlflcs, who K la claimed, had arranged the details in advance and calculated upon the effect of the pre liminary shooting. By others, , the clash was said to have beea provoked by an attack of drunken revolutionists on the penitentiary with the intention of liberating the prisoners. e-' ''a. tn mii t CASTOR I A . lor Iiffcnts and Children.
