"We want to take the government out of th ehands of trustees and put it in the hands of those we can trust." This was Governor Wilson's first cam paign utterance as he addressed a delega tion today of 200 democrats from "Dela ware, led by National Conhnitteeman Willard Saulsbury. Mr. Saulsbury had declared that Dela ware hoped through hisy irifluence to be redeemed "from the dishonor that has been put upon it by the political suprem acy of the trust millionaires and the public service corporations which it still .endures with indignation, impatience and disgust." "The government ;of , New Jersey was very bad," said'Governbr ; Wllsonln ply, "but the peoplg . Were sound to the core, and all they were waiting for was 'some' means through which they Could express themselves. We had tied our- ' selves up by some very ingenious polit ical arrangement which made It difficult for the people to choose their own can; didate and have their own way. I am sure Delaware will act as New Jersey has. "New Jersey people have always been as progressive as any people In the union, but there have been embarrass ments. They have been in the hands of a board of guardians, who used to sit in the state house and tell the legislature what It should do. It had not been re quired by the people to tell the legisla ture what it should do, but It assumed that authority. But we ought to speak tenderly of those who are On their death .beds. These people are not in this state now . and they will never camp in this building again. "Yet I do not take to myself anything except good fortune as having been the spokesman of the people of New Jersey. What we are trying to do in the imme diate future Is to offer to the people of the United States the rigt to say what they want done with their own govern ment and their own affairs. We want 'to take the government out of the hands of trustees and put it In the hands of i those we can trust. Those for whom the government was held 'in voluntary trust are now grown up and ready to resume charge of their own business." Governor O'Xeil of Alabama, who called on Governor Wilson, announced that he would take the stump in north ern states on behalf of Governor Wilson The Weather For Nebraska Fair.

INTEREST IN ELECTORAL CASE Roosevelt Men Are Allowed on the Republican Ticket. STUBBS AFTER CURTIS' PLACE Present United States Senator Fa vorable to Taft. RAIN FALLS IN THE FORENOON Majority of Voters in Rural Dls- c trivts Go to Polls in Afternoon, When the Weather Clears. TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 6.-Scattering early returns from Wyandotte county in which is located Kansas City, Kan., the largest city In the state. Indicate that ehe Roosevelt presidential electors have a lead of about two to one in the votes thus far counted In that county. Other progressives are leading on about the same basis. TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 6. -When the pools" closed In today's statewide primary scattering reports from throughout the state indicated the heavies vote ever Cast in a primary election In Kansas. Owing to the large number of candidates it seemed probable that definite returns would be late. TOPEKA, Ran., Aug. 6l-Unusual In terest gave promise of a heavy vote in the Kansas state wide primary today. Both parties will 1 name candidates for United States senator, for congress and a full state ticket. Presidential electors also will be chosen. ' National Interest attached to the con test for the selection of republican presi dential electors because of the recent de cision of the United States supreme court permitting the names of 'electors who have announced their preference for Theodore Roosevelt to be entered under the head of the republican party pending decision by a full court. The adherents of President Taft have conducted a stren uous campaign against the Roosevelt electors, urging the republicans of Kan sas to defeat them in the primary and thus make a decision as to their legality unnecessary. The Roosevelt followers have fought equally hard for their se lection. ' Sharp lines have been drawn in the fight between United States Senator Charles Curtis and Governor WUR. Stubbs for the former's seat In the- senate.' . Gov ernor Stubbs , is a staunch progressive, while Senator Curtis' has been regarded as favorable1 to the Taft regime.- At noon an unusually large vote was reported from all ! the cities, but in the rural districts, where a Soaking rain fell in the forenoon, the voting was delayed. It was expected a majority of the farm ers would go to the polls in the after noon, as the weather began clearing about midday. . . Second' District-Joseph incumbent. '"'-''." Fourth District-Fred S. Jackson (R.), incumbent. Fifth Dlstrict-Rollin R. Rees (R), in cumbent. J. R. Connolly (D.). Seventh District eGorge A. Neeley (D.), incumbent. Eighth District-Victor Murdock (R), incumbent. John R. Saunders (D) Sober Sentiment is Swinging to Taft "The sentiment In favor of the re-elec tion of President Taft is growing out In this state." said A. W. Jefferls yester day. "I have talked with a great many men from out In the state where Col onel Roosevelt was supposed to b strong, and they say that the sentiment of many of the voters Is switching back from Teddy to Taft." Mr. Jefferls says he has found that as the caipaign progresses and as th9 old time republicans think more soberly of the Roosevelt attitude, great numbers of them begin to see that the third party movement Is simply following a wild hurrah, and they come back to what they believe to be more permanent and better founded policies. He says that many men from out in the state dis cussing the makter admit that President Taft is not quite so well schooled In ths arts of political tricks as . Roosevelt is, and that In consequence he does not get the advertising out of calling someone a liar, or refusing to eat at someone's table, etc., but that when these things are laid aside and held at just what they are worth, President Taft is the man that gets the credit for being the sober minded statesman.

The government system should be shaped so that "the public servant when he cannot conscientiously carry out the wishes of the people shall at their desire leave his office and not misrepresent them in office." Colonel Roosevelt did not suggest the method by which he would bring this about, and there was much speculation as to whether he had in mind . a fundamental change in the American system of government.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-When Colonel Theodore Roosevelt appeared on the stage of the national progressive con vention to make his "confession of faith" address, he faced one of the greatest audiences ever gathered in the big coli seum building. The' demonstration of del-, egates and spectators which greeted him lasted nearly an hour.

" . , bespit the fact , that Colonel Roosevelt Was expected V reach the convention hall soon after boon today delegates to the national progressive gathering again were Blow in reaching their seats. At 11:50 there were not more than 300 delegates on the floor.' '' , A great crowd of spectators and dele gates had remained at the headquarters hotel, either to see the colonel start for the convention or to accompuny him. ' The New Tork delegation marched In at 11.56 a. m., with a brass band In the lead playing the Inevitable convention tune, "Everybody Doing It." Noisy Greeting Prepared. It .was apparent that when Colonel Roosevelt arrived to deliver his "confes sion of faith" he would get a noisy greet ing. The delegates were prepared with flags and bandanas to make the demon stration a colorful one. as well as noisy. As 12 o'clock approached the delegates began to pour Into the hall. Delegates formed an Impromptu parade downtown and marched to the convention. Four or five bands came with them and for a, time the air was fairly blue with con flicting tunes. Women delegates again were a center of interest today. Many of their sisters In the suffrage movement gathered out side the Coliseum distributing tracts and emblems to the suffragette cause. ' Temporary' Chairman Beverlde reached the stage shortly after 12 o'clock. Ten minutes late the delegates' sections were filled. As on yesterday the period of waiting was filled In with songs and party yells. Occasionally there came the long, low "moo" of the bull moose. The Colorado delegation appeared today with a blue banner reading "Colorado Is for Roosevelt." The women delegates in various state organizations stood up on the chairs with the men and joined In the chaors and songs that kept things in an up roar until the gavel fell. - Colorado Springs Sign. Suddenly the Colorado folk sprung a big sign and carried it about the hall. It read: "No more Guggenheim; no more Devlne; no more Angel Archie" for us. Down with the bosses." The Coloradoans explained that by "Angel Archie" was meant A. M. Stev enson of that state, some times known as "Big Steve." Ie became apparent the convention would not be called to order until Colonel Roosevelt was about ready to appear. George W. Perkins was elected national committeeman tor the national progressive party by the New York dele gation today. The Michigan delegates started a new song, which practically the entire floor soon was singing. It was: Follow, follow. ' We will follow Roosevelt; Anywhere, everywhere, We win follow on. Follow, follow. We will follow Roosevelt, ' Anywhere he leads us. We will follow him. At U:S5 Senator Be ve ridge rapped for order. Rev. Father Andrew Spets offered prayer. The galleries near the stage were crowded, but at the further end of the ball were many empty seats. The audience applauded the brevity of the prieefs prayer. Nelson Steads Greeting.

FRIENDS AGAIN TURNED DOWN Negroes Who Stood by Teddy When He First Landed at Armageddon Are Now Shoved Into Discard. CHICAGO, Aug.' 6.-The second ay's session of the national progressive con-, ventlon was given over almost entirely to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who In addition to delivering his . long waited . confession of faith answered at some length and with a great deal of earnest ness a question as to his attitude on the negro question. The delegates cheered Colonel Roose velt for more than an hour when he ap peared suddenly and rather dramatically upon the platform of the Coliseum. The rafters fairly rang with the noise of the demonstration. While awaiting the colonel's arrival most of the delegates had joined In an 1 ImDromDtu snnff that thov vmilH fnliruv him wherever h eshould choose to lead. . This wa sthe spirit of the reception ac corded the former president when he reached th econventVm nail and It was ' ine opiru wun wmcn nis aavancea ideas of progresslveness were received as fast as they were uttered. -. The session, however, wa snot without Its thrills. A photographic flashlight ex plosion set fire to one of the smoke-retaining bags hung among the decorations above the crowded balcony and for a time there was nervousness which it was feared might lead to a panic. Temporary Chairman Beveridge and Colonel Roosevelt called to everybody to remain quiet and the band started to play as two firemen climbed up into the steel girders of the roof, snatched the bunting back from Its place before the fiamea reached the Inflammable deco-. rations running along the entire gallery, and extinguished the fire. This act was follewed by a distinct visit iuiv iuuiio wi tncfio. , in door, or tne convention hair had been thrown open to tha public after Cblonel Roosevelt reached the Coliseum and the big Auditorium held One of its greatest crowds. ' The rush for nlaoes- was so great that the fire marshal soon ordered the doors closed again. There were thrills, too. when Colonel Roosevelt was Interrupted several times with questions. The same spectator In the galleries who yesterday fired the query at former Senator Beveridge de manded to know of the colonel "what about the liquor traffic?" The query came at the close of the lengthy explana tion of the speaker's attitude on the negro question and Mr. Roosevelt received It with distinct Impatience. As the delegates were ylllng "shut up" and "put him out," Colonel Roosevelt waved his hand toward the man and said: "Oh, go to a primary school, or some thing." Then he added: "Let me get along with my speech." There were cheers and cries of "you're, all right." "And please," added the colonel, "let this now be as much of a monologue as possible." -.-..'. When the colonel had concluded the con-, ventlon proceeded at once to adopt the report of the commltee on credenlals, and also a rule requiring that all resolutions submitted from the floor be sent up to the resoluions commltee without debae. Permanen organization was postponed until tomorrow when the platform also is to be adopted and Colonel Roosevelt and a running mate nominated for president and vice president on the new third party' ticket. Fljrh Begins Early in Day. The second day of the convention opened with a well defined fight over tho negro question vleing for first Interest with Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's de livery of his "confession of faith" to his . followers In the progressive cause. Some of the delegates declared that the elimination of the southern negro from participation in the formation of the new party had become the paramount issue of the convention.
