Ttto Elector File Affidavit Saying
That Taft Wu Nominated by
and They Cannot Sop
port Him.
DENVER, Colo., Sept. 2.-At the
opening of the case; of the Kansas
Roosevelt electors seeking to hold their
places on the ballot in the United States
circuit . court of appeals here today,
Judge Sanborn of St. Paul announced he
would hear the arguments, leaving to
Judges John E. Garland of Washington
and W. H. Hunger of Omaha other
pases to be considered.
The suit came before the court in a
petition for an Injunction against the
'Kansas secretary of state, restraining
him from placing the Roosevelt elect
ors on the baHot In Kansas.
D. R. Hite, for the plaintiffs, argued
ithat so long as the names of eight elect
lore were obtained by irregular methods
they had "no right to be placed on the
regular republican ballot.
John Dawson asked the court for an
opinion as to ' whether the names of
Roosevelt and Johnson and Taft and
Sherman could be placed on the same
ticket .
L. W. Kepllnger, representing the eight
Roosevelt electors, read an affidavit by
J. M. Dolley, chairman of the repub
lican state committee, In which Dolley
declared it was his belief that Taft and
Sherman were nominated at Chicago by
fraud and : they were not the regular
nominees-, of the party, that the Roose
velt faction represented the republican,
party of Kansas and the eight of the
ten elector who declared for Roosevelt
should be placed on the regular repub
lican, ticket. Mr. Stewart, one of the
electors, stated that he did not declare
at any time no.. ua nis supporters
claim, that he; would support Tan ; as
he republican nominee, but that he con
cluded -that he could not conscientiously
vote for Taft for president nor Sher
man for .vie president, In view of the
methods adopted for their nomination
at the Chicago convention. ' .-"
Mr Kjepllnger stated that affidavits
of others of the electors who favored
Roosevelt were -in substance the same
as those of Mr. DoHey and Mr. Stewart.

Officers of Wyoming
May Clash With Uncle
Sam Over Water Order
. CHEYENNE. Wyo., Sept. 2.-(Special.)
The Wyoming authorities have thrown
down the gauntlet to the Interior depart
ment of the federal government and un
less Secretary' Fisher recedes from tht
position he, ha taken in the matter ot
distribution of water in the Wind River
Indian reservation, in central Wyoming,
there will be a real clash. The Interior
department charges that the Wyoming
authorities have not been distributing the
waters of Owl creek equitably among
government users, and has instructed
its special agents in tha field to disre
gard the Wyoming laws and the orders
of state officials. State Engineer A. J.
Parshall has ' notified ' the Interior de
partment that any Interference with head
gates and the distribution of water upon
the part of federal officials will result in
the arrest of aald officers.
The state of Wyoming granted water
rights on certain streams in the ceded
portion of the Wind River reservation
in 1905 for the Irrigation of various In
dian lands. On Owl creek such water
right was granted to the Duncan allot
ment, but on the same stream prloi
rights have been granted to other set
tlers previous to the year 1894, or eleven
years prior to the government applica
tion, and in accordance with the Wyom
ing laws these prior holders were en
titled to the first use of, water.
Recently the water commissioner of the
district found that water was being waste
fully used on the Duncan allotment and
to the damage of crops of others. Tht
state engineer at once ordered the head
gates on the Duncan allotment closed un
til the prior rights could be settled."
Mrs. Duncan, an Indian ward, com
plained to the Indian agent at Fort
Washakie, who in turn notified the au
thorities at Washington, and instruction
came for the Indian agent to take pos
session of the headgates and see that
Mrs. Duncan received water that her
crops needed. This was regarded as con
fiscation, for the rights of others seem
ingly were not to be considered.
State : Engineer Parshall protested
against this high-handed disregard of
state rights, but waa informed by Sam
uel Adams, first assistant secretary of
the Interior, In a sharp telegram, that
the officers of his department would
comply with the Wyoming laws so far as
possible without jeopardizing the right of
the government to water required for ir
rigating land received or held In trust
for its Indian wards.
In replying to the Interior department
State Engineer Parshall denied that the
rights of the Indians had been Inter
fered with, and warned the government
officials that the state laws provide a
heavy penalty for interference with head
gates and ditches.

around the contest ot the Taft and
Roosevelt supporters for control of the
republican party machinery of the state.,
Governor Hiram W. Johnson's politi
cal allies, heading the state i organlzo-tioii-of
the progressive - party, contend
that if they succeed In nominating presi
dential electors " pledged to Roosevelt
they will be entitled to the party desig
nation - on the ballot in the November
election. The Taft adherents take the
ground that the action of ths republican
convention in nominating President Taft
committed the state' -to the choice of
electors pledged to their candidate.
The names 'of republican, democratic
and socialist candidates will appear on
the ballot at Tuesday's primar-. Eighty
candidate for the state assembly and

ors each. ,: : i

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept 2.-(Special Tel
egram.) The unveiling of the statute of
Abraham Lincoln on the state house
grounds in Lincoln this afternoon, took
place before a. large crowd on the plaia
at the north entrance to the state house.
The ' exercises were opened wjth a
medly of patriotic airs by the Nebraska
State band before a crowd of several
thousand people, who waited patiently
while a drizsllng rain was falling, for
the speakers to take their part on the
program.
A motion picture machine set up In
the center of the plaza for the purpose
of taking Mr. Bryan in his character
istic attitudes, attracted considerable at
tention. . '
William J. Bryan, the speaker of the
day came on the platform ascorted by
Governor Aldrich and was met with that
hearty welcome always given Mr. Bryan
by his neibhbors. . .
Secretary of State Addison Wait, as
presiding officer, made a few introduc
tory remarks and presented Rev. D. J.
F. Roach, of St. Paul's church, who
delivered the invocation. - Following the
Invocation the St Paul chorus rendered
the "Halletujah," chorus accompanied
by the Nebraska state band.
Acting Mayor T. C Pratt, president of
the city council, In the absence of Mayor
Armstrong, delivered the address of
welcome in behalf of the city ot Lincoln,
giving a short history of the location
of the state capital at Lincoln.
. Governor Aldrich, in behalf of the state
of Nebraska, welcomed the people to the
state house on such an important occas
ion. He spoke of Lincoln as the man
whom every American citizen could well
take as an example. Though as tender
and sympathetic as -a child. Vet when
occasion' demanded, ' firm and immovable
as a rock. Few men with the possible
exception , of Andrew Jaokson, . reajred
amoilg t suoh - vicious . BurtoundCnK, as
Abrham Lincoln, rise to be great leaders
and successful men.
In closlhsT' the governor said: : '
"The only and' deepest significance that
this occasion has, and that this .-monument
yonder stands for, Is that, we- of
another generation have not forgotten
America's greatest figure; that we still
love and are devoted to the principles
for which Abraham Lincoln lived and
died, that it Is our duty to keep still ring
ing in the ear of the citizen of tomor
row the full and. deepest significance of
Abraham Lincoln's life and charcter .
"As citizen of today, we cannot too
often bow before the shrine of this great
commoner, because from his life and his
writings every citizen from the highest
to the lowest gets encouragement and the
guidance to patriotism and Justice. -
"The monument we dedicate today will
be corroded by . time and ' eventually
crumble to dust but the life work that
we here review will live on and the orbit
of its influence will widen with thefllght
of the years sending it effulgent rays
Into the dark labyrinths of Injustice,
throwing Its light Into the dungeons of
tyranny and holding aloft forever the
torch of truth showing men that there
is a better way to livea nobler concep
tion of life.
"Selections from the speeches and writ
ings of Lincoln should be In every public
school in the land."
Mr, Bryan'a Trtbantc.
M Mr. Bryan was introduced, he was
abllged to mount a table to make the
large crowd hear. !
He paid tribute to Lincoln and referred
to the word spoken by Governor Aldrich.
- "If there ever was a man selected by
Providence to do a great work surely It
was Abraham Lincoln," said Mr. Bryan.
"He was a great man and had that sta
bility of character needed to carry out
the great work he accomplished. Wash
ington had a great task, but .' Lincoln
had a greater one. The enemies of our
country In Washington's time lived across
the ocean 3,000 miles away, but Lincoln
had to meet his enemies all about hjm,
and in winning the battle he
plished a greater task than did the father
ol our country.
"I believe that in the death of Llneuiri
the south lost a greater friend than 'lid
the north. -Lincoln loved tne South, b it
he hated slavery, and In the fight fjr
national unity he always regretted more
than you or I may lmo the loss the

WILSON ON MOOSE PLATFORM
Governor Discusses It in Labor Day
Address at Buffalo. "
MINIMUM WAGE IDEA ' IS BAD
Say Federal Regulation of Monopo
lies Look Like Economic Con
trol of Live and Fortunes -of
Worker. ' '
BUFFALO, N. T., Sept. 1-Goyernor
Woodrow Wilson today analysed the
third party platform In Its relation to the
laboring man. The occasion of his speech
was a Labor day celebration under the
auspices of the United Trades and Labor
council. . ; ; ' ;
t was the first expression , from the
democratic candidate pn the merits of the
progressive platform. The. governor said
that while on the one hand was . to be
found "warm sympathy with practically
every project of social betterment," that
part was merely "a proclamation of sym
pathy," while the real program, lay, else
where, "where the tariff and the trusts
ar spoken of." . - . ' ,
The governor asaalled the minimum
wage idea, declaring that employers
would take occasion to bring their wage
scale as nearly as they could down to
the level of, the minimum permitted by
the law.J .-' '. '
With the idea of a federal commission
to regulate monopoly, the governor took
emphatic ' Issue. He declared that ; the
plan suggested not only would legalize
monopoly, but give the chief employers of
the country a "tremendous authority be
hind them." ' '
Governor Wilson pointed out that it al
ways had been the policy of "the master
of consolidated Industries" to undermine
organised labor In a great many ways,
and that a plan of federal control, as
advocated by. the new party, ."sys
tematically subordinated worklngmen to
monopolies" and "looks 'strangely ltke
economic mastery over the very live and
fortune of those who do the dally work
of the nation."
Governor Wilson Interrupted his publio
reception to address the delegates to
the Catholic Toung Men' National union
In convention at another hotel. "Upon
his return half an hour later the recep
tion was resumed. ''
