WESTERN FARMERS WAKEN Gifford Pinchot Only Man Who Can Qualify in All Four Classes of .Men Whom Candidate An swered Variously. WASHINGTON, March 17. (SDecial.) The connection of George. W. Terkins, director of the United States Steel Cor poration and of the International Har vester Company, with the campaign for the renomi nation of Colonel Roose velt, Is proving one of the most in teresting sidelights In the endeavors of Mr. Roosevelt's friends to make him take something he ."does not want," and which, according to Mr. Roosevelt's own letter to Editor Moore, of. Pitts burg, it would be a "calamity" to give him. The farmers of the West are awaken ing to the fact that Mr. Perkins, in his corporate capacity, is slightly out of gear with their preconceived notions of his candidate's alleged ferocious appe tite for corporate blood, and they are demanding that Mr. Perkins and Mc dill McCormtck, related to prominent officials of the Harvester trust, sep arate themselves from Mr. Roosevelt and his campaign. In this demand they are only indicating-lack of knowledge of the fact that Mr. Perkins would probably have lost his job long ago had it not been for his Intimate friendship with Mr. Roosevelt, running back over many years. Perkins Wnrna Young Men. Although still remaining a director of the Steel Corporation and of the In ternational Harvester Company, Mr. Perkins has recently severed himself from many of his business connections and is now devoting much of his time to "solving the problems of the times." He has taken his place among those wealthy men who. having made great fortunes in corporate business and in Wall Street, are now endeavoring to ed ucate the young men of this country against the dangers and pitfalls which beset their own successful careers in Wall Street and elsewhere. The first great work along this line to which Mr. I'erkins Is now directing his undivided attention and his pocket book Is the nomination and election of Mr. Roosevelt to a third term as Pres ident. Friends of Colonel Roosevelt are to day reading carefully the excerpt from his statement relative to his letter to Mr. Van Valkenburg. They are trying to determine in which class they ought to place themselves. Up to the present time It Is understood that only one man has been found who has been able to qualify in all four classes. He is Gif ford Pinchot, who formerly supported Senator La Follette and who is now in North Dakota making speeches for Roosevelt, although he strenuously ad vocated a $2 tariff on lumber when the Payne bill was under considera tion. Plnehot Is Adaptable. It is understood that with his thorough knowledge of the Colonel, he has been able to adapt himself instan taneously to every phase of the Col onel's mental operation and to bring himself up smiling and In thorough ac cord after each political somersault. It has not been determined yet which particular class will bring primary so cial and political preference to its mem bers. The classes are: First "To all who were at that time writing to me to be a candidate, I answered that I would not be." Second "To all who asked whether I would accept If nominated I answered 'Yes' (if I knew them sufficiently well to Insure that they would understand me.") Third '-Otherwise. I said simply that I would cross that bridge when I came to it-" Fourth "In most cases, if the man was at all a close personal friend. I told him that I counted on his doing everything possible to prevent any movement looking to mjt nomination." Taft Gaining In Nebraska. C. E. Adams, of Superior, Neb., pres ident of. the Taft State League of Ne braska, 'in an interview today said: "Nebraska was the first state to or ganize for Taft. We organized early in November and effected a permanent or ganization In December. At that time the fight was against La Follette. The entrance of Roosevelt on the scene changed the conditions. A fusion be tween the Roosevelt and La Follette followers has been suggested. In that case it Is going to be a close fight, but Newspaper Advertising Service EWSPAPF.K ADVERTISING is a profitable in vestment. The returns are in direct proportion to the sHtesmanship you put into -your copy. Six inches of blank space will produce no re turns. Filled witli hit-and-miss copy it will produce some returns.

"I'p to the time Roosevelt mado his Columbus speech there seemed to he a considerable sentiment for him among his class of followers, but since he came, out with his declaration he has turned a lare number of prominent men throughout the state agaJnst him, and these men are willing to say so. Our Information is that sentiment for Taft is now solidifying ve:y fast in Nebraska. In my own investigation, I called upon a number of the loading men all over the states some of them rather of a quiescent onier and I found In every Instance they reported Increased sentiment for Taft. AVe know that we will carry Nebraska for Pres ident Taft. "As to the third-term question, our state has a lot of old soldiers. "vV'e all loved General Grant. On his return from his famous trip around the world, his Journey across the. continent was the most wonderful of its kind in our history. There was a great demonstra tion of affection and admiration for him. Yet, in the next National conven tion, it was these friends who loved him, but who were opposed to the third term idea that defeated him. And why. at the Chicago convention, should we nominate Roosevelt? Those who would hold that Mr. Roosevelt's first term was not an elective term will have to deal with Mr. Roosevelt himself. He has never 'quibbled' over the fact that he has already been President two full terms." ADMIRAL MELVILLE DIES Naval Knineor Also Authority on Polar Explorations. PHILADELPHIA, March 17.
