Turitf Hun Tin ni. "5 Gloucester. N. J., Aug. 13. Un der the l;irf of a hot bum thousand of farm. '18 massed about Go. Wooelrow Wilson hero to-day auu heard him make his first campaign speech since he was officially noli tied a wi k ago oi his nomination to the pri'.-i.loncy. Tho Governor spoke cxteinporaiio- . ously from i-n improvised platform Ht Washington I'ark where the far mers of Nev Jersey. Delaware and Pennsylvania wire participating in n farmers' day celebration. The ean didate dwelt mostly upon the protee. teei he tariff which he called "the restrictive tariff," attacked Collator Aldrioh and his tariff making asso ciates, pointed out the bem-fits of a merchant marine In connection with the Panama canal and blamed the Influence of express companies In preventing the adoption of a par cels post. The Governor was frequently In tcrrupted by applause and cheers. When he finished speaking many of the farmers crowded forward to shake hands. The Governor return ed to Sea Girt early tonight. At the outset Governor Wilson asked : "When did the farmer ever oc cupy the center of the stage in our politics?" He then declared that he had sel doin seen the interests of the far mers regarded In legislation. "And one of the greatest impositions upon the farmer of this country that has been devised," said the Governor, "is the present tariff legislation of the Unite-d Stales. ".My indictment against the tariff Is that it represents special partner bhips and does not represent the general Interest. It Is a long time ?ince tariffs were mnde by men who even supposed that they were seek Ing to serve the general Interest for the tariffs are not made by the gen eral body of members of either House of Congress. They have In the past been made by very small groups of Individuals In certain com mlttees of those houses, who even refused Information to their fellow members as to the basis upon which they had acted In framing the che.-j ules . ALDRICH'S WEATHER EYE, "One of the gentlemen who has been most conspicuously connected with this thing hag In recent years prudently withdrawn from public life. I mean the one-time senior .Senator from Rhode Island, Mr. Al drlch. I at least give Mr. Aldrlch the credit of having had a large weather eye. He saw that the weather was changing In Rhode Is land even In Rhode Island as well as in the rest of the Union; that men who had long known that he was Imposing upon them felt that the limit had been reached, and they were not going to be imposed upon any longer. They saw that he was not even dolii'.; what he pro tended to do, namely, to serve the special interests of Rhode Island, be ciuse he was serving; only some of the special Interests of Rhode Is land and not all of them. "The tariff Intimately concerns the farmer of this country. It makes a great deal of differtice to you that Mr. Tpft the other day ve toed the steel bill. It makes a dif ference to ye-u hi the oast of prac tically every tool that you use upon the farm and It is very significant or ought to be very significant to you that a Democratic (louse of Repreceiitat Ives has just passed the ptetl tariff reduction bill over the President's veto, a thing I am in formed is Inpreeedented in the his tory of the country, that a House should have p.iss.d two tariff mens- tires, the wool measure and the steel measure, over the veto of the President. "That tariff measures are not measures for the Merchant, mere ly, and the manufacurcr. The far mer pays just ns big a proportion of tho tariff duties as anybody else.' Tuft Opens I p i n the Third Party. Washington, Aug. lfl. President Taft today made his first political speech sinco that he made when no tified of his nomination. Address ing members of the Maryland Re publican Editorial Association at the White House, lie declared bluntly that presidential electors were "dis honest men" if they let their names npnear on tho Republican ballot and Intended to vote for the candidate of another party. He nsserted that those who were not for the Republi can party were against It and should get out of the way, "All we ask is a fair fight. A man cannot be in tho Republican party and In a third party at the same time and should be compelled to make his selection," said the President. "Regularity, or feeling of regularity, and respect for the Republican party for what It has done, what It is capable of doing, are going to bring over Into the Republican party many a man who has been doubtful, and It is going to increase that number In my Judg ment as we approach the election. It is therefore essential that we make the cleavage as clear as It can be so that those who are Re publicans shall be Republicans and those who are with the bolters shall bear their name and title, and not be Republicans and bolters, because they cannot be at least they ought not to be In all fairness." Self-made men sometimes need a lot of alterations. tl the Car ami Locked I p the Mi'SM Hgi r. x Asheville, Aug. 15.

John Jacob Astor, l ist his 1'fe, gave birth to a son today ami has named the new arrival John Ja cob Astor after his father. The boy becomes a direct heir of $3, 0(io,0(iO of the Astor fortune. The fact that his father proved himself a hero in the Titanic disas ter and that his wife, from whom he then parted, was his bride of on ly a few months, coupled with the large fortune which was provided for a posthumous child, have lent unusual Interest to the arrivul of the youngster Astor. The new Astor baby will be one of the few children ever born with a fortune as large as $3,000,000 in its own right. Colonel Astor had provided that, vhether the child was a boy or girl, It should receive $3,000,000. Even if the stork had brought more than one child, Colonel Astor'a will cov ered that contingency, because It reads as follows: "I bequeath such' number of sep arate sums of $3,000,000 each as shall be equal to the number of my children as shall survive me other tnnn my son, William Vincent Astor, and my daughter, Ava Muriel Astor." The latter children are by Colo nel Astor's first wire, Mrs. Avon Willing Astor, who was divorced and is still living. Mr. I!i nton Roaiiuil Hiiiih- Friday Mud Write AImiuI tin- Sa l Affair.

The child was with her mother and a party fishing. They were in shallow water not at all considered dangerous and no one saw the young lody disappear, though she ".as quickly missed and the body recovered.

Roosevelt Ope'lis ill liliexlc Islnnil. Providence, R. I., Aug. 1C With cheering and songs and prayer, the Progressive party's national cam paign was opened here tonight. Mr. Roosevelt came to Rhode Island, which he described as a boss-ridden State, to open the campaign and received a welcome which, as he put It, would have done credit to Kansas. When the Colonel reached Provi dence at 5 o'clock he found several thousand persons massed in the spuare before the railroad station and on the streets leading to his hotel. The crowd blocked the way and cheered him until he stood up in his automobile and made a speech. He was halted a second time In front of the city hall and made another address. When the din finally died away, Colonel Roosevelt said: "Right at the outset I wish to answer a question thnt has been put to nid two or three times since 1 reached Rhode Island. Men have asked me if this movement, is going to go on, or If it is Just a move ment which Is connected with me. This movement is going on Just as sure as f:nc.

The case of James Noland. tho register of deeds of Haywood county who shot nnd killed himself, it is supposed because of disappointment on account of failure to receive a re-nominalioti for the office he had held six J cat's, is tm unusual otte as well as a siwl one. There were three candidates in the primary ;;ml uotte received a majority. Nol.uul was stcoiid in the race, his st rouges' competitor b-'itig only twelve votes ahead. If Noland hi'.d v.tti'ed for the second primary he might have won. Hut it is s.iid the man was so embittered by the faithlessness of friends, whose support he had expected but who disappointed him, that he became despondent when he found he had failed to win In the first race, and suicide was the re sult. It Is str.'.iige that u man who had held public office even lor a short time did lr:i! reali.-.e how very lindependnble are many of the prom ise's made a candidate: that many who profess urlyiag allegiance f ill at the critical moment; that the populace is iicklc; that many who "Eat my bread and drink my tea Then go around tovn and talk about me."

The unfortunate young man and bis brother, llarron Sloop. were hauling cord wood to Sloan s mill and were going down a hill near the mill when the horrible accident occurred. It seems that some of the wood on which young Slocp was sit ting slipped forward, throwing him on tht ground between his horses, nnd the wagon passed over him, crushing the bon s of his shoulders and Lack. Mr. Barron Sloop, only a fchort distance ahead, noticed that the team was without a driver but could not realize so horrible an ac cident had occurred until he saw his brother trying to crawl out of the road.
