In the indus tries dependent on ' the protective tariff the impression is growing that a strong pull together for Taft is the only thing that will save their tariff schedules, and it is understood that a number of big manufacturing con cerns whose management had been neutral until quite recently are tak ing steps ' to urge their employes to support the republican national ticket. The Taft people ' are putting the proposition up to the manufacturers in this way: Wilson has the demo cratic vote solid. . With the repuhll can vote about equally divided be tween Taft and Roosevelt the state will go to Wilson. The Roosevelt people, though 'controlling the repub lican state organization and their own Washington party, are not making any gains. The people who wish to save the -tariff must therefore swing i their support to Taft' in an effort to force .his strength, up sufficiently to overcome Wilson. To help accomplish this result a county chairman's league is being or ganized, consisting of the heads of re publican county committees who are loyal' to the national ticket, and this league will make the fight for Taft and Sherman Independently of the re publican state committee, two-thirds of whose members are Roosevelt men. About half the county chairmen have agreed to act with the league. Head quarters are being opened In Phila delphia, and a statewide, campaign will be gotten under way as quickly as possible. The efforts of the league will be devoted chiefly to convince the ' people that the only way to save the tariff, which means so much to the Pennsylvania- industries, U to vote for Taft ROOSEVELI'S POSITION.

His announce ment was in reply to writings of Louis Brandels and of speeches of Governor- Wilson In which Roosevelt Is accused of endeavoring to legalize monopoly by a commission "which would have police power to say to ft favored corporation 'Ypu are legal,' and to an unfavored corporation, 'You are illegal." "This Is absolutely not my position," said Roosevelt, "In fact Its as near antithesis of my position as any declaration could be." "I'm in favor of a new law or amended Sherman law specifying this thing wrong or that thing wrong and not leave the guess or the Judgment of any myn or men determination -of what Is wrong or right, reasonably wrong or reasonably right.

PIST0O TO STATE Wants Bullet and Revolver He Used Placed .in Albany Capitol. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 19. Colonel Roosevelt's assailant, John Schrank, exhibited yesterday for the first time an Interest in Coionel Roosevelt's con dition when J.'. Bailey, sentenced to ninety days, was-brought Into the tier of cells where Schrank is confined. Papers containing news of the attack have been denied the prisoner and for that reason he did not know the con dition of his victim. . . y "Js. Roosevelt still alive,'' he asked Bailey, who answered in the affirma tive. Schrank '4ld not reply, and walked back to his cell. The prisoner spent a very quiet day In thii smalt enclosure to which he Is confined,' saying1- he- was "willing to take whatever Is coming to him, Schrank hns. made his will, it was lenrne.d through a fellow prisoner. One of its provisions is that the mis sile which probably would have killed Colonel Roosevelt but for the double manuscript and metallic spectacle case through which it passed be given to a New York .historical ' society and placed 'upon- exhlbitlon with the gun In the state , capital building In Ala- bany. Schrank, the deputy says, told one of his fellow prisoners that he desires the bullet and revolver to be a con stant reminder to posterity of the 'danger of attempting to violate the third term tradition." ', Under ; the first order of Judge Neelen, who bound Shrank, over to a hiRher court for trial, the ball was fixed at J7B00. -When he heard Schrank had $25,000 In property in New York, Judg Backus decided to fix the bail high enough to keep the man in-Jail until his conviction. Meanwhile the authorities have been unable to find that Schrank has any such amount -of property. They find that he was forced to borrow about $400 for the expenses of his Journey. "I did not tryMo kill- the 'third termer' at the Ifurthwestern station. 1 did not have any intention of doing the trick at anyjother place In Mil waukee tl"vwhere I did It,", said Schrank titeurirt when asked re garding 'a report that three police men had prevented httn' from shioot-.

Pittsburg, Oct. 19. The position of the democratic party on the tariff was discussed by Governor Wilson In his speech here last night. He predicted that "the forces of reform will be dominant in both houses" In the next congress and declared the election of a prtHdent out of sympathy with them would generate uneasiness and discon tent. He said in part: "I welcome the opportunity of stat ing what I believe to be the well con sidered position of the democratic pnrty with regard to the tariff. "The democratic party does not pro pose free trade or anything approach ing free trade. It proposes merely a reduction of the tariff schedules such as will adjust them to acutal business conditions and interests of the country. Every observant business man mut-t realize that tariff schedules are con structed In such a way that business Is not upon a normal basis in the United States. They do not constitute a Bystem of well considered protection. On the contrary, they embody Innum erable cunningly devised and carefully concealed special favors and partic ular groups of capitalists and manu facturers have taken advantage of these special favore to build monopo lies up in a way that is threatening and dangerous to every new and Im portant enterprise. "It Is obvious that the country de mands and will sooner or later obtain a thoroughly considered revision of the tariff and the serious practical question now Is when and how shall It be brought about. It is practically out of the question that the republi cans should control the majority ot the next house of representatives; It -itf'e'xltfettt'-'th'hc- -those' who -slim -pat on the tariff will not control the next senate. The forces of reform will be dominant in both houses. To be held at a stand In such circumsances by a president entrlely out .of sympathy with congress will be to generate greater and greater uneasiness, greater and greater restlessness, deeper and deeper discontent. "In spite of all the obstacles of the existing tariff system and of elastic currency, and uncertainties of politics, commercial and industrial Interests of the country are moving forward In on Irresistible stream. The argument is put forth 'let well enough alone.' Con ditions constantly involve the influ ences of monopoly, of manipulation, of private control and even If they were well enough, it Is not leaving them alone to elect Mr. Taft president, to hold a restless nation at a standstill for four years and exasperate the very forces which may now, if properly guided and wisely moderated, remove every obstacle to free enterprise and unlimited business expansion. "There are more possibilities of panto ensuing upon abounding pros perity under the present system than there be under any other and every dictate of prudence, every Instinct of statesmanship ought to point to those early reforms which can be accom plished in good temper by common counsel and In moderate form. .We cannot stand still, least of all when the opportunity of unbounded pros perity beckons us on. To retain our present embarrass ments would be to miss our chance TURKS DRIVEN BACK. Bulgarians Advancing on Adrianopie Are Victorious AiJ Along the Line. Sofia, Oct.. 19.

A national market ing association for farmers was advo cated by B. F. Yoakum here today In an address before the convention of southwestern growers. "I have talked on th subject of a . national market bureau with Governor Wilson, both as to Its Importance and necessity and he is heartily in favor f its creation on broad and comprehen sive lines and is ready to Join in push ing It through," said Yoakum. Mr. Yoakum declared it cost the farmers of this country something like $510,000,000 annually to pay interest on their loans which Is $200,000,000 more than It should be. He gave as an Instance a story of a carload of watermelons in Oklahoma which ha said the farmers sold at five cents each, although in Minnesota theso same melons retailed for 60 and 60 cents each. The buyer, Yoakum said, told the farmer he could not pay much because of freights, which the speaker declared was untrue because freight on the car was seven and one-half cents per melon. "The time is passing when men can satisfy producers by loose and reckless statements about freight rates or about borrowing rates on mortgages," he declared. SEEK FRESH E1EI . IBiiZITE FLfll Witness May Be Found to Tes tify as to McNamara Ac complice. , Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 19. Al though the country previously had been traversed from one end to the other by government representatives In an endeavor to get witnesses and evidence In the "dynamite conspiracy" case now on trial here that further Investigation was extended yesterday. Government agents reported that at the time James B. McNamara was in Seattle, another man known as "Peter Vitch" was In Seattle. "Peter Vitch" according to the man from whom he rented a room, was some other than McNamara, but he kept In his room clocks fuses and other bomb attach ments similar to those used by the dynamiter. He is being traced on a theory that he was one of MoNa mara's acocmpllces who was Indicted in Los Angeles county, California, but who never has been found. :. Word was sent to Seattle for a full story of the man who says he rented the room to "Peter Vitch" with a view of subpoenaing him to testify at the trial here. Miss Mary C.
