Speaking 'before a gathering of women later he urged more participation of women in the affairs of the nation; and at a meet- ing tonight of new citizens declared for a united America. At his every appearance the Presi dent was cheered by throngs which packed the streets. An attempted "silent demonstra tion by members of the National Wo man's party in front of the auditori um developed into a near dot in Which the banners opposing Wilson were torn from the demonstrators and trampled, and the women were l'Dughly handled.

"A free, self -governing people is a people which does not need to be watched." , The President's address was fre quently interrupted by applause.

There was one slight clue, however; a well- baaed idea was had as to the gener al direction in which CoJWns went. It was not toward Kinaton. Whisky, and not the land dispute which the papers have claimed was the cause of the crime, fwas iresponsi- We for the murder tin the opinion of Sheriff Hairgett of Jones. The slay er was a moonshiner; "there isn't a bit of doubt about that," according to Sheriff Hargett. "He probably thought the victim had informed against him, and with the land bound ary dispute as a new incentive, killed Abraham Collins." Nick Collins is of nothing like the prominence in Jones tht some accounts have stat ed, Hargett said. He is quite well- to-do. "but of no eood character." The victim was better liked; he. also, was well off. Police Sergeant K. F '. 'Fescue of this city knows the slayer. He was also intimately acquainted with Ab raham .Collins. Neither man was of especial prominence; both were "well fixed" and the slayor of cowardly, contentious disposition, when he liv ed near them.

Roosevelt Promises to Have Something: interesting to Say Irt Speeches In New Mexico Next celtRe ply to Baker (By the Un'ted Press) .AmariUo, Texas, Oct. 20.

HONOR OF THE MOOSE IS AT STAKE, SAYS By GEORGEl CREEL, (Written for the Democratic National CbmmttUe.) In this election notning is so much at stake as the honor and self-respect of the men and Women who made, up the Progressive 'piny. They banded in the name of humanity, raised the standard of social justice, and vowed their lives to the defeat of the sinis ter figures in control of the Republi can party. ( . What is the situation today T Mr. Roosevelt hobnobs with Taf t and Root and iCannon, and Perkins, Robbini and (Everett Colby sit in councils With Penrose, Ciine and Hkchtock. Be hind Hughes is Wall Street, the German-American Alliance, child tabor1 exploiters, reactionary employers and every , Tory influence that hopes to restore the days of Hannaism. Search through the Republican platform, line by line, and not a single reference to social justice will jbe (found. Read the speeches of Hughes and it will be seen that it is the humane legis lation of President Wilson that he attacks most bitterly. Watch Hughes as he journey from Sdate to State. In noe one has he failed to consort exclusively with the bosses and reactionaries against Whom the Progressives fought' in 1912, even going so far as to ignore Hiram Johnson in California on the eve of an election." In his repeated declaration, "I desire a reunited par ty," he betrays utter inability to grasp Progtressivient as a spiritual re volt, Viewing It as nothing more than the expression of disgruntled factionalism. The Progressive frho goes back to the Republican party must crawl on his knees. He must recant his "lu natic heresies." He must swallow hia condemnation of Cannon, Root, Hemenway, Crane and Penrose, and acclaim them wise, good and all-powerful. In plain words, he must con fess that he lied in 1912; in plainer action he must admit that he is not a free American citizen, but a chat tel to be bound and delivered When ever Theodore Roosevelt finds a price that suits.
